>It is not “Apple bashing” to point out that fact.

It is Apple bashing when you make dumb extrapolations out of a 1 in 19 year event that happens to 1 Apple computer out of how many millions (billions ?) that Apple have sold over the same 19 year period.

> what is a normal computer user supposed to do in this scenario? This simply should not happen, ever.

Failure of a software update should "not happen, ever" ?!?!!?!?!?!?

Have you ever worked in a technical role in IT (or any sort of technology) ?

My god !
Needing to use a reverse proxy like nginx in the first place is honestly insane, and the fact that many web devs tolerate it is a sign of totally whack priorities. You shouldn’t need a reverse proxy to serve your website, and you should be able to serve dynamic content to hundreds or thousands of people per second. Literally all you have to do for 90% of websites is not use some slow uncompiled backend that shits the bed at 50 RPS. Pointing this out pisses people off because they hate the idea that bogosort.js isn’t actually a good web backend and they might have to learn something else if they want to build a good website instead of trying to paper over perf issues with a massive reverse proxy with 35,000 config options and just as many CVEs.

The recalcitrance of the broader medical research community to acknowledge that spirochetes can persist after antibiotics and continue to wreak havoc, is truly astounding. You'd think after all the "whoops, my bad" moments in history - handwashing, thalidomide, GRID/AIDS, to name a few, they would learn to be a bit more conservative in their stance, e.g. "we have not found direct evidence of chronic Lyme, but it has a plausible mechanism and widespread reports."

I've already seen the needle shift from "Lyme is impossible after antibiotics" to "well I guess some cases escape first round of treatment."
Probably just a handful of internet cranks. How many would you estimate?
What about the social costs? Vietnam was the start of American mistrust of government.

Now soldiers and their families are learning that all the suffering was meaningless. I’m surprised people still sign up for the military.
Reading other posts here about local tastes and modern tastes, I feel compelled to relate something from my community on Long Island, NY.

First, I’m from Northern California and various ethnic cuisine taste very different there. Thai flavors different from Vietnamese, different from American Chinese, etc. from cheap eats to sit down.

Here in my community it all tastes the same! Haha. Thick gravies. Bland flavors.

But what flipped my lid yesterday was a new Indian restaurant (yay. I love vegetarian dishes and Marsala flavors). And what is their fare? American Hamburgers and gravy heavy American Indian. They made a meaty diner.

Town already has 2 diners, 5 American Chinese, 3 franchise hamburger, 2 private hamburger/shake, 5 pizza, 6 bodega/hot holding, 2 American hot holding w/burgers.

What were they thinking? Modern tastes are wak, with stupid money financing them.

Unfortunate what happens when people engage in unnecessary social interaction during a pandemic.
Additionally you cannot go through the normal court system for complications arising from vaccines as you could for other drugs.

You can easily find a lot of sources in this ballpark.
Can LibGUI be used independently from SerenityOS, much like we do with wxWidgets and Qt?
I'd rather see treatment than a vaccine. I do believe most cases of Lyme are trivial, but some can linger and cause horrible issues. Disulfiram sounds very promising.
Even with generics, it has so many issues:

* Error handling is error prone and awkward.

* No proper enums

* No sum types/pattern matching

* Null pointers exist

* Its interfaces are very awkward. There are superior implementations of what they tried to do in other languages.

* Subpar IDE experience, made worse by how interfaces are implemented. You need an IDE for any non-trivial project.

* Very awkward choice to have visibility be determined by the case of the first letter in the function or variable. Simple changing of visibility to public will require larger diffs if it's used a lot.

* No private visibility, only package private.

* Very crude import mechanism. Try to rename a package and see how the IDE fails to figure out what to change.
There are two things here. Title capitalization is definitely a part of English orthography. Any book you take, no matter what English-speaking country the author is from, will always use title case, unless it wants to make a point (avant-garde etc.).

However, there are differences as to what deserves to be capitalized. Just the titles of books, films, etc? What about the titles of articles, are they in any way different, or maybe worse than the titles of books etc.? I guess this need for consistency pervades the American usage, codified in the CMoS and other style guides, and hence applied universally.
if you're just dumping everything in to excel, perhaps. I was more thinking about custom software, internally developed or contracted by the company to automate/amplify whatever their processes are.
It depends. If your work is to create a new counter app every day to support some specific, single usecase, in other words you write a lot of simple apps and not a single complex one, then it’s definitely a win for productivity.
That's excellent! Best of luck to you. Though in a sense, you have already succeeded by harnessing your courage and doing something that gives you a sense of meaning and ownership.
> Wind and solar are cheaper and can be brought online as fast as we can build it

I love wind and solar. I built a 13 kW array on our property and will likely expand it to 20 kW next year.

However, even if we deploy the most optimal forms of wind and solar energy at a global scale --forms that have yet to be invented-- this will not be enough to stop or reverse atmospheric CO2 concentration. In fact, even if we do this, it will continue to increase exponentially until such time as the planet --through weather-- sticks its finger on the problem.

This is NOT my conclusion. This came out of a study where Google researchers --who were convinced renewable energy sources was the way to go-- set out to once-and-for-all show the world the path. They were stunned when they discovered just how wrong they were. To their credit, they published the paper and admitted just how wrong they were. This is real science, not hand-wavy stuff. Anyone with the appropriate science background can go through the paper, study the data and reproduce their claims. I certainly did. This paper is what opened my eyes to the nonsense we are being sold. It led to spending over a year trying to understand the reality of the problems we face.

It is well worth reading. Here it is:

I was bit by a tick in 2010. I pulled it off my forearm and it left a protrusion that lasted about 2 weeks. No rings. I got sick with a flu around this time. Went to the doctor, the lyme test came back negative.

Shortly after this I started to develop lesions in my mouth and scalp. Then they spread to my entire body. 6 months later got a diagnosis of an autoimmune blistering disease. The specialist said it was a usually a disease for old people, very unusual for an otherwise healthy 35 year old to develop it. 8 years of oral antibiotics and some steroids for flare ups and I was in remission.

In my opinion, everyone should be leery of tick bites.
A doctor's opinion on disease isn't merely an opinion, it's an educated guess based on experience and qualifications. New diseases and research are constantly appearing, thousands of articles are written each year. We can't expect doctors to know everything, but we can expect them to have more informed opinions, on average, than non-doctors.

I say this because there's a rising trend of anti-intellectualism and distrust of doctors in the US, which leads to massive self inflicted wounds in Covid and vaccines. Doctors aren't infallible, but they're far better than random online sources.
Paul Graham has an essay somewhere where he describes Robert Morris (creator of the Morris worm, kernel hacker, professor at MIT) as the FreeBSD sys admin for ViaWeb :) That is, probably the "most overqualified" sys admin in the world, because he was owning the whole problem.

The OP's post is related to the motivation for my work on https://www.oilshell.org/
-- I found that shell solves important problems quickly and effectively.

In contrast, in 1999, in college, I worked an an autonomous underwater vehicle project that didn't work very well. In 2021, I still think that autonomous vehicles don't work very well.

I also have a Erdos number of 3 due to a 2016 publication on deep learning, but that was mostly due to shell scripts as well. The publication has thousands of citations but I'm unsure if it will ever be useful.

The author of Please Commit More Blatant Academic Fraud bravely stated that publications from the same group (Google Brain), with common co-authors, are bullshit:

I was a recruiter for 20 years, and I've always been a strong writer. As a recruiter I read tens (perhaps hundreds?) of thousands of resumes, and I knew the audience. I had always done some resume editing or helping my candidates with their resumes, and I decided I wanted to see if I could support myself as a writer instead of a recruiter.

I do quite well as a writer. My hourly rate is $100/hr, I also offer flat rate services, and for the past few years I've consistently had a roster of anywhere from 30-40 clients at any given time.

My clientele is about 50% tech, as that's my specialty and I was a tech recruiter for my entire recruiting career. Word of mouth does sometimes get you by if you have a good network. There are quite a few reasons people hire a resume writer. Some just simply struggle to write. Some struggle to understand what the reader wants to know. Some aren't comfortable taking credit for their accomplishments, so a writer makes it feel less 'braggy'.

I hope I answered your questions.
The Formula for High-Converting Headline Copywriting (Plus: 48 Killer Examples)
There was a ton of weird random stuff on geocities that never got saved.
How is it wishful thinking? It's a proportional increase. Meaning that it has increased in both absolute and relative terms, and done so at a faster rate in the last two years. I'm stating an observation of the data. I don't see room for wishful thinking in that.

Other platforms can increase while Linux also increases, the two aren't mutually exclusive.

I'm not saying it's going to take over the market. It's a huge long shot it will ever really rival Windows. Even if makes significant headway on Steam, that also doesn't necessarily translate to a corresponding change in OS market share. But the pending arrival of the Steam Deck combined with an enormous increase in game compatibility has nonetheless set the stage for significant gains for Linux with Steam.

Which part of the above observations are wishful thinking?
"hand over the thinking keys when someone else is better informed or better trained." implies rationality, as without it determining who is better informed/trained is difficult. Therefore we are back to square one.

This approach even favors the most informed and trained (the "best" being preferable to the "better"), offering an even more difficult challenge.

Indirect democracy replaces rationality with ill-formed trust.
If I would be designing a landing page for a product or a service I would start with https://land-book.com/.

The first thing I would do is look for a structure that would fit my subject. For example, what goes at the top? Quite a few websites choose a tagline or a small description(with a large font size) on the left, followed by a slightly longer description(with a smaller font size) and a visible action button. While on the right, there's usually an image of the product. Now, does this work in my case? If it doesn't, I look at other examples.

The next sections can be cherry picked. I might want to show the main or unique features, testimonials and other things I'd consider essential to tell the visitors.

Only after I'd be done with this part (could be called wireframing), I'd start choosing colors and fonts. My recommendation is that if you like a color combination used on a website, use it and stick to it. Don't replace one of the colors, stick to what is there. Just don't pick the colors from a competitor's website, that's poor form, in my opinion.

Typography is a little trickier. You have to play with sizes and combinations. And in a lot of cases, good fonts are not free. But there are also decent options available in Google Fonts. On this page you can find good free font pairs https://www.fontpair.co/all.
Tick rate usually means how many times a server calculates the state of the world in an online game. So a client can have 300fps, but the server might only calculate 128 ticks per second. If your computer's FPS dips below that of the server's tick rate (or your internet is bad) you start missing information. The client usually calculates things as if it has perfect information, and then when a tick comes in an tells your computer it is wrong, the client corrects itself. So the lower the tick rate on the server, the more times this happens (since your computer has made hundreds of calculations since the last tick came in) and it seems slower / choppier.
So reverse-racism as a way to pick a business? I don't know why I keep being surprised by how often Apple shoots themselves in both feet.
One interesting bit of advice I've heard for solo founders is, pick an industry to serve that interests you, or at least one where you like the people who work in it. Yes, the customer will always be your "boss" of sorts, but at least it'll be a boss whom you identify with and genuinely want to please.
I’ve tried this and it failed. I applaud the author if he can make it work, but in my experience I was spread too thin and my customers suffered.

I didn’t make connections, I over marketed and undersold. My failure was an important lesson for me.

I also haven’t given up on entrepreneurship, I’ve learned a lot and I plan on making a comeback.
Correct. The "you" here isn't actually "me" (the writer), but rather the decision maker (the recruiter or hiring manager).
This is exactly why I prefer Angular to React.

Our designer wouldn't have been able to deal with HTML markup within the JS files in React. Having the HTML and (S)CSS separated out made life much easier for him in Angular.

(edit: Naturally downvoted due to being slightly critical of React on HN. Which happens every time.)
Your kind of work is absolutely necessary for commercial software to run. You’d get crucified in an internal IT department where funding is entirely driven by new features, and 80% done usually has to be good enough.
Based on the influx of license plates in my once idyllic community, far too many.
I'm going crazy, I think I misunderstood the problem...and I want to say it is impossible. But can you share the explanation?
Yes, you can do things like that, but that ends up with you having two different sets of stations that are not easy to get between. The normal pattern is express trains that stop a few times with stoppers that "fill-in" between, but there will be different patterns of stopping to try and optimise for different groups of travelers.

Scheduling/timetabling is a wickedly hard problem, especially in a system like a railway, it's the sort of thing people get Maths and CS PhDs in. The contstraints that you have to solve are complex and interconnected and are part of a bigger network, and you are also trying to please a lot of people with very different (often contradictory) needs.
Thanks for the reply, that's a very interesting plugin!

> Who gets to determine what is trustworthy or not?

> How are these votes stored?

From what I can tell, this is literally a research project attempting to answer these questions. Look at the results tab, then under 'Demonstrators, pilots, prototypes' to see what they have come up with so far.
This is already the case for some of the very low-volume stops on that line. For non-express trains a combination of the following is currently (or at least was pre-covid) in use, with the mix varying throughout the day:

* stop more or less everywhere
* stop only at larger stations
* even/odd stopping at small stations

The scheduling already seems pretty clever, and that's just from observing as a passenger. I suspect behind the scenes there's a whole lot more to it that's not obvious to someone who is just trying to get to work.
What I originally said was there's no metal shortage, only the price of metal. We'll be mining the solar system long before we run out of metal on earth. For aluminum, for instance, there's an insane amount in the Earth's crust.
Now there are so many math fossils on google+. Activity is elsewhere.

The math blogosphere remains pretty healthy. Thankfully many mathematicians maintain useful and interesting personal sites. If Wordpress suddenly died, there would be a bigger problem (many mathematicians don't self-host).
Yes, this was the sort of thing I was thinking for London. Not "express" per-se, but "missing stops" (i.e. just like what happens when stations are closed for platform maintenance during normal ops).
I don’t want to work on hard things, I want to work on interesting things, which may or may not be hard.
Read the title, it's about HIV/AIDS, not covid. Not to imply that would be an appropriate response if they were talking about covid.
Not without passing places, because you can't miss a stop without the train in front of you also missing it, at least without an eye watering body count.
When I read about Peano axioms I mentally think of Sn as the function S(n) = n+1 and that helps me understand them better.

As a non mathematician sometimes I wonder if this substitution is causing me to misunderstand something else about them.

An album is (ideally) carefully crafted to work as a coherent musical statement. Tracks in isolation don't have the same effect. It's even more so in classical music, where a work usually encompasses multiple tracks. One of my frustrations with Spotify is that it doesn't understand multi-movement works, so you get an single movement — sometimes even one that is connected to the preceding or following one — in isolation, and it's often really unsatisfying.

tl;dr I think albums have more significance than you do.
By far the best metric would be "how many minutes or seconds of French (or possibly regional) electricity consumption can this battery cover".

This gives you a rough idea of the total bridging capacity for the case of "no sun, no wind" situations.

That said, I must admit I am a bit afraid of the huge batteries, at least if they are going to be located close to human dwellings. The videos of fires of vehicle batteries that I have seen so far were pretty bad, and here we are talking about orders of magnitude bigger energy store.
I guess you didn't even read the headline.

I've been around long enough to notice that LOTS of domains / businesses are really heavy with "we know best" kinds of attitudes even when the subject being discussed is FAR afield of their actual areas of expertise.

Medicine is one. Law still is, though less so as digital document management has made their lives a little easier.

Law enforcement is a BIG one. You can sell snake oil to LEOs very easily, and many people DO. I think it's a combination of organizational hubris and a sort of "nobody understands our work" bullshit that keeps them from listening to industry authorities and makes them susceptible to ignorant charlatans peddling crap that's Made For Police or whatever.

I did a quick search, and the results surprised me too. After reading a couple of the articles, I was less surprised, because they weren't good. Try a search for "should I use first person on resume" (no quotes). That search turned up more of what I expected.

The #1 result in my "rules for resume writing" search did mention first person.
Still doesn't explain how a Pangolin coronavirus RBD ended up on a backbone of a strain of bat coronavirus from a mine in Guangdong along with a conveniently placed Furin cleavage site unprecedented in any known naturally circulating strains of coronavirus. Unless they're trying to argue containment is so bad that viruses they know they've sequenced regularly end up circulating in the wet markets, and they figure said viruses were comingled there, which is still one heck of a stretch.

That's just me though.
Show HN: Domainy – Monitor domain names for availability
Domainy is a tool to get alerted on when the domain names you like and want are about to expire and also become available.

https://www.domainy.io

A few use cases

- I'm monitoring all the other TLD domain names for which I would like to eventually acquire to protect brand names for the domain names that I already have (e.g. I have google.com and I want to make sure that I have google.abcde, google.edfg etc etc)

- I also want to know when some of the domains that I would like will expire and possibly become available, so I can quickly buy them if I can. Just because a domain is expired, it doesn't mean it's available right away. But still, I'd like to keep my eye on them.

- Sometimes, it's just super interesting to see when some high profile names are available through obsecure TLDs (e.g. twitter.beauty, twitter.accountant, twitter.dealer domain names are available. What would happen if I buy them and do something with it. Twitter will probably come after me, but hey, it's an interesting thought. Maybe they'll buy them off? I don't know. What other high profile names are available through other TLDs?

cheers!

That's nice to hear. A lot of instance admins will defederate other instances based only on rumor or suspicion of wrongthink, preventing all of their users from following accounts on those instances even if they want to. This has happened to my single user instance simply based on my political beliefs (primarily the right to free peaceful expression, you'd think that would be less controversial), not any content actually posted.

It's a big problem in the fediverse, because one has to be a little bit of an activist in the first place to exit twitter, and these days popular activism and censorship overlap a lot.
