My BP was a clockwork 120/80 all my life. Suddenly, during the last 2 years, without any change of lifestyle, nutrition, or other health status, it went up to a little less than 140/90. I rushed to take Micardis (telmisartan), which did nothing at all. While in Bulgaria, a doctor noticed my heart beat is pretty high (it's been above 90 all my life since youth) and told me I need a beta-blocker. After prescribing me Lodoz (Ziac in the States) (bisoprolol and hydrochlorothiazide), my pulse normalized and my BP dropped below 120/80 even.

Before that, I've tried EVERYTHING for 2 years! Every supplement, every herbal with no effect whatsoever. I've never had magnesium deficiency as for 10+ years I've been taking a mixture of different chelates and supplementing with 500mg a day religiously.

In situations like this, I really start disbelieving in alternative medicine and nutrition as, really, if something works, there'd be a patented drug monetizing the measurable effect.

Of course, with drugs, I don't really know all the negative effects. But! Not all supplements are benign, they can be contaminated, there are almost never recalls for them.
You are absolutely right that both are terrible. That said, being eaten alive is undoubtably a slower, more painful death in most cases. Both are unnecessary - plant-based diets can prevent a lot of suffering.
It seems like an exploitable strategy, as long as people only know the developers online. The main problem with terminals compared to other infrastructure is that they often control pretty much everything and people become superusers in them.
i keep thinking we direly need means to give youth some idea of what is out there, idea of what they might be able to experiemnce, and some grasp on what it would take to get there. the world is so much more specialized, works at such a post-local scale, and wow, i just really want to give the future onroads & excitement & perspective into what they might try to get up to.
While I understand the purpose of neutrality when administering health care — surgeons must operate on wounded saints and murderers alike — I believe the author fails to make an important distinction. There are choices that have an impact on individuals (or relatively small groups of people), and choices that exponentially affect public health.

The one-two punch of choosing to abstain from vaccination and going about daily life unmasked is a terribly irresponsible combination, one that has the potential to kill innocent bystanders by proxy. Perhaps it’s most comparable to driving under the influence or arson, even though the worst case casualty counts of those are still only in the hundreds, while a “Typhoid Mary or Mark” could bring about the demise of untold numbers of vulnerable folks over the full course of time.

So yes, if you forgo vaccination and get sick it’s your own fault (consequence of a personal decision), but it also means that you bear some responsibility for every person you have now caused to be infected down the line. Perhaps it isn’t right to judge people for self-inflicted wounds, but I believe it is quite appropriate to judge people for the fire they’ve perpetuated. So while it’s simpler for physicians to just treat everyone and not get bogged down in who caused what — my goodness, how the rest of us should judge and scorn those who made choices that risk the well being of us all.
Yeah was the acutal business benefit I wonder? How much time was spent by the author over wrangling and learning to do it from scratch, it does not seem worth it
Yeah, I'm kinda unclear on exactly what it prevents. Shouldn't the kernel, if not compromised, be preventing these mappings anyway?

Attacks on s/w and h/w systems are asymmetric warfare. Until the ptrace or other attacks are scripted, the barrier to entry is usefully high. Once they are scripted, it can be close to zero, depending. OTOH if the ptrace and other approaches leave a signature, then you remain at risk but able to know. And, it has wheel-of-life qualities as your attacker codes to hide the signature, you code to keep the visibility open, and to try and defeat the underlying attack. And so it goes.
>we're supposed to "reply to the best possible interpretation

The commenter made the statement: "Women get away with too much in our society."

What's "the best possible interpretation" of such a sweeping condemnation of a group of people?

>I didn't see their comment making any "right wing" statement. Maybe it is a viewpoint that correlates with right wing politics

What's the difference between making a right-wing statement and expressing a viewpoint that correlates with right-wing politics?

>We should avoid sinking in to the political tribalism that puts every issue on a left vs. right axis. I don't think it's a very useful statement to say "women get away with too much"

The effect of what you're doing here is playing down this hostile, openly right-wing statement as something benign by declaring that it is simply "not useful" and that it only "correlates with the right-wing" (as if that's somehow different from actually being right-wing). Then, you're suggesting that the one who pushes back on the author of that clear political expression is the one engaging in political tribalism.
DNS is not (yet) generally secured. An attacker who e.g. controls a wifi AP can just substituted their own DNS responses and redirect users to their own addresses, and their servers have valid certificates for the domains that they're supposed to be, so from the user side everything looks fine.

I think that when he means "boring", it's something that is relatively mature and the pitfalls are well-known. Despite C/C++ being (in my own opinion) dangerous to use and relatively hard-to-maintain, you already know where are the failure points etc. While Rust and Go (for example) are now a bit more mature, there are still some unknowns and (solvable) limitations (for example compilers in non-ARM embedded systems).

I don't know why you're assuming that sea creatures don't suffer. There may be a miscommunication here.

> who are we to demand they change their culture

Would you apply the same reasoning to a culture that practices human sacrifice, for example? Or that enslaves humans? The "it's their (personal) choice" argument breaks down when you realise that the preferences/interests of the victims matter too. Their suffering matters.
> Do you REALLY still use old 32 megabyte flash memory in today's age of terabyte drives?

I consider it a sign of poor quality writing when the article doesn't explain a technical concept early on. What is Air Independent Propulsion? The article never even makes it that clear. Paragraph six starts as if it is about to explain it, but then it tells you that Sweden uses subs powered by a Stirling engine. Is it the same thing? Do AIP submarines always have this type of engine, or just Swedish ones? The reader never knows.

Very interesting video for insect and flight mode enthusiasts. But I think the images shown at 2:21 and 2:30 are of damselflies, not dragonflies. (Dragonfly eyes tend to abut each other at the top of the head, while damselfly eyes are generally isolated on opposite sides of the head.)
Linux has a "direct map" of all physical memory in kernelspace, which I guess makes things easier. See https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt "direct mapping of all physical memory (page_offset_base)". (I think this is not uncommon: JOS, which my undergrad operating systems class used, does this.)

Memory allocated with memfd_secret gets removed from the direct map, which means that from any other process's address space, there is no virtual address (regardless of memory protection) that corresponds to those physical addresses. So any exploit that gets only gets you memory read/write but not kernelspace code execution (various types of wild pointers, etc., as well as whatever exciting speculative execution vulnerability will undoubtedly show up next year) cannot compromise the data in a memfd_secret mapping.
the flexlm usecase is: protect revenue for vendors that sell into large companies/organizations by making drm that is sufficiently annoying to defeat and/or live with in a degraded state such that it's more annoying than dealing with internal bureaucracy to get accounts payable and information technology to actually pay the software vendor.

it's how big organizations work, nothing happens until it's annoying.

There is a long discussion on moutainproject about what folks carry in their first aid kits... TBH, given that "stabilize for definitive care" is pretty much the limit of what I can actually do, anything that decreases that time by any amount is probably the best first aid.

I can easily see how this would be much cheaper and better than inreach and similar, even at the low-end of the capabilities.
Unfortunately such systems assume that all of the parties in the election are working in good faith towards finding out the true result. They don't deal with the threat model of one (or both) major parties deciding to deliberately cast doubt on the outcome of an election by lying about or losing one of the secret keys needed to check the results.

Even if all the parties behave correctly, it's still not clear that such a system is really solving the underlying problem. If someone claims there were thousands of fake votes sent in by dead people, are you really going to reassure the public by saying "Don't worry, we've re-calculated the modulo-n equations using the cryptographic key's bitstream acting as a stream cipher"? That's just asking for the backfire effect to kick in.

Feeling burnt out from my 10x colleague, how to move on from this?
Part of why I have liked my job in the past is because I feel useful. I have a colleague that is so incredibly good and applies himself constantly (works after hours, weekends, during vacations). He writes at least 5x more code than me and its giving me an inferiority complex something fierce. How the heck do I break out of this mentality and become more productive? I feel like I am going off the rails and I often sit down to work and do nothing all day feeling this way. I don't want to end up on a PIP. Any suggestions are very welcome. Thanks!
I feel like this is the role of college, but it’s become so expensive and degree-driven that the cost of sampling has gotten too high. Skipping CS150 your second term so you can take calligraphy means waiting a year to get back to it.

Never Split the Difference
This is the reverse situation. What's going on here:

- Bob makes bob.com and sets the CNAME to be bobstaticsite.s3.aws

- Bob forgot to make a bucket called bobstaticsite.s3, and Alice, scanning the DNS records, creates it instead. Now Alice is serving data on Bob's domain

Am I missing something? How would AWS S3 stop you from creating a CNAME? Or how is this their responsibility? Don't make that CNAME entry pointing to a bucket you didn't create yet / don't own?

One final thing: S3 is not CloudFront. And CloudFront, AWS's CDN, does require domain name verification.
If the wheels were independent trains wouldn't be able to turn
I think it's because, in real life, you can tell who's looking at you and when. There's key components of body language that are based in who is paying attention to who. In a videoconference, this is all missing. You can't tell who's looking at you or not, so that mean anyone could be looking at you, so you act like everyone is looking at you all the time, you feel the need to control your presentation more, that causes fatigue.

Real-world group conversations are not like that at all. If you're tired or you have nothing to say, you can just be in a corner listening to other people speak, nobody will mind, and you don't feel observed. That's a lot more like when you have your camera off.
Several people on our team do not turn-on video during meetings. I also do not like to turn-on video for our stand-up calls - those are fact oriented and whatever I'm saying is sufficient to convey the details (one-on-one meetings would be a different scenario). Citrix on Linux seems to have issues exposing external webcams and this has worked to my advantage because once I found out about this issue, I simply presented that as the reason and for once, treatment of Linux as a second class citizen worked out to be in my favour.

to opt out is to say "i will stop communicating with the world". you either join the massive networks, or you are stranded, alone, undiscoverable, forever.

some folks call these "high switching costs", which is fair. but i dont think it really emphasizes the existential peril of leaving the central hubs of connected online spaces. it doesnt go far enough to emphasize that you either do keep your prrssence on the major networks, or you are a no one.

we all have to be able & willing to switch off. into a new system, where thise we opt to follow will not be switch offable by their network, by their hosting provider. we neee to interconnect broadly, across systems, and allow each other to re-present in new hosts, new domains, new means, as the circumstances of how they stay connected/online change.

Hi! I'm the author of the post. Glad folks found it interesting.

One comment I would add on top of what's being discussed here is that I actually am not arguing that the main engineering tradeoff is between quality and speed.

Instead, what I'm saying is the best engineers I've worked with work backwards from the user experience (the product) and engineer their system and app in support of it - e.g. they judge their work by how well the product works, not by some other metrics around the code in the abstract. They do tend to produce what you might consider great code (code that is simple, well factored, well tested), but the point to them is that they need to do that in order for the app to work really well.

Thanks for all the feedback!

[7] Favorable outcome on viral load and culture viability using Ivermectin in early treatment of non-hospitalized patients with mild COVID-19 – A double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.31.21258081v..., https://www.jpost.com/health-science/israeli-scientist-says-...

Ivermectin has shown some antiviral activity in a number of credible studies, but it is by no means a miracle cure. As the virus is bound to mutate and potentially evade the current vaccines (according to none other than Pfizer CEO), developing treatments, even if imperfect, as a second line of defense, must be a very high priority.
I can't think of a better way than just learning physics. It's probably impossible to decouple learning something effectively from actively performing related activities, and the systems of the natural world are pretty good practice.

> While many domains began responding with an S3 404, others began switching from S3 to the parked page. What is interesting is that DNS was not involved — all domains pointed to 93.191.168.52 both before and after the issue.

I don't get this. These domains weren't configured with CNAME DNS entries like one normally does. Does this mean MarkMonitor's parked domain name server was trying to load from S3, then falling back to something else if that failed?
Maybe this is a cultural thing? My girlfriend is Chinese and I've never seen her do a "call" that wasn't actually a video call on WeChat. Japan also has had video calling for much longer than it took Apple to popularize FaceTime over here in the West. They were also ahead on VoD, for long train rides, I suppose, due to mass transit being more popular.
Oh yeah, quite an insight into the mind of me as a teenager. One thing I didn't mention because it's a tad embarrassing is that the original little character was based on that awful ET game that sold nothing on the Atari 2600. If you squint a bit you can still see the original inspiration.

You're not crazy. That's exactly what Japan chose to do for the latest block of Sōryū-class attack submarines. They removed AIP engines from the design and replaced them with a huge pack of lithium batteries. Underwater endurance is still limited, but there are significant operational advantages to the simpler battery based system for defensive submarines that will never deploy far from Japanese waters.
that's what we need... spy on politicians!

Not sure how to put this, but I really really hope that if a year from now we are faced with a new virus strain that evades current vaccines ('likely', as Pfizer CEO puts it), nobody is going to trawl HN submission stories and smugly point fingers to those that 'hawked' vaccines.

Edit: https://www.insider.com/pfizer-ceo-vaccine-resistant-coronav...

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told Fox News on Tuesday that he believed it was "likely" a vaccine-resistant coronavirus variant would eventually emerge.

"Every time that a variant appears in the world, our scientists are getting their hands around it," Bourla said. "And they are researching to see if this variant can escape the protection of our vaccine.

"We haven't identified any yet, but we believe that it is likely that one day, one of them will emerge."
