Living in one of the worse parts of San Francisco, for the past few years (west SOMA), I can say that people going through your trash is quite a nuisance.

You'll put your trash out for pickup day, and a significant portion of the time, someone will come and go through it. And often as they are going through it, they will just throw random things on the ground. So our little side street kind of has a constant layer of trash.

The city does employ people to come through and pick it up, and they do that regularly, but they would have to do it daily to really keep the street clean. I think they come more like weekly.

Tangentially, I was walking my dog this morning, and had to ensure she didn't step on the used hypodermic needle on the sidewalk. Nothing covering the needle. This happens all the time.

Right now they are at least 3 tents on my small side street block.

For businesses, like if you were at an In-n-out you must have been at Fishermans wharf, that's the only one in SF. They regularly have to ask people to leave who are acting in various disruptive ways, and bothering their customers.

A few years back, I was sitting at a bar in SF, that had outdoor tables. I think I was on a first (and only) date. I guy walked up, took my dates glass of white wine, drank the whole thing down, and then said "I'm an alcoholic". And then just stood there looking at us.

(Also as someone who's lived in San Francisco for years, I just can't help but be triggered when someone says San Fran.)
Because I am a free man and I make my own decisions. I don't benefit from the vaccine enough to want it of my own volition therefore I don't care how much pressure is placed on me, it comes down to my own math. The virus and vaccine are not a factor.
> if anything starts using the microphone, it switches modes and the audio quality goes way, way down.

Funny, I don't see this on windows, which will leave the headphones at high quality (except for when I'm speaking, at which point I don't care that much about audio) - but on Linux I have to set the audio profile for the headset to low quality in order to enable the microphone at all - so all audio out is crap as long as I'm on a call/have the microphone enabled (even muted).

Still waiting for this to improve - but looks like it'll require new hw (new Bluetooth receiver and sender).

Did you not get the intro pop-up explaining this is intended for use as part of a history class lesson plan for students born after 9/11?
I actually just built a 6 person one from the same vendor last week and am extraordinarily happy with it. There were some minor flaws (the packing on the pallet was undesirable and several of the staves were warped) but overall it is a good product from a reputable vendor that I feel like I will use for the rest of my life.
I believe there are some heavy metals that you can only really get out of your body via sweating. But “granola” people have built up a whole story about sweating and toxin clearing that AFAIK has no basis in science.
I highly recommend TablePlus. It’s really really good.
That could work equally well in my mind, the point is, as you say to ensure that people feel welcome and like they are contributing. There's nothing worse than starting at a new job at feel like you're just taking up space for the first few months.

It just depend of the company whether or not pairing up with someone makes sense. If you don't really work that way day to day, then you shouldn't give new employees that impression. There is however a point to not having people feel like they are just picking off a list of never ending tasks, which could just as a easily have been solved by someone else.
> I am exhausted that people who share your opinion are dragging the pandemic out for whatever illogical reasoning justifies the beliefs and behavior.

You didn’t paste the whole quote. I guess this is going to be a long pandemic.
Sauna itself with proper temperature 80 Celsius(353K) would likely be one of the most safe places for Covid transformation. On other hand risk around showers and changing rooms are likely quite a lot higher.

What sorry state?

The thing I don't get about this narrative is that Firefox works and works very well for me and so when I see people saying things like this it doesn't jive with reality.
> It wouldn't be hard to implement, and tons of people would use it. They don't do it.

Please describe to me, in detail, how this works.

Because every time this comes up everyone claims it's the easiest thing in the world, but if you try and drill into it what they end up actually wanting is generally "pay what you want" cloud services.

There are a _ton_ of resources on AWS that accrue on-going costs with no way to turn them off. A "hard circuit breaker" that brings your newly accruing charges to zero needs to not just shut down your EC2 instances, but delete your EBS volumes, empty your S3 buckets, delete your encryption keys, delete your DNS zones, stop all your DB instances and delete all snapshots and backups, etc, etc.

The only people I see using a feature like this are some individuals doing some basic proof-of-concept work and... a bunch of people that are going to turn it on not understanding the implications and then when they get a burst of traffic that wipes out their AWS account they're going to publish angry blog posts about how AWS killed their startup.

If, like most people, you don't want literally everything to disappear the first time your site gets an unexpected traffic spike, you can already do this by setting up a response tailored to your workload--run a lambda in response to billing alerts that shuts down VMs, or stops your RDS instance but leaves the storage, etc.
> Interesting factoid: in France, most of the stop signs say "stop" due to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals linked below.

While that is true, the word “stop” had been part of the French language for centuries prior to 1968. It means “halt”.
It was CNN. Around 9:45 am it was slow, by 11 am it was down / text only.
After the first time I dropped out of college, I had a three week period of homelessness. Since students had the keypad codes for after-hours access to the academic buildings, I slept in the math department lounge. There was a visiting professor from Germany, I think, who would come into the lounge every morning, see me sleeping and leave. I then would hide my pillow and blanket behind the sofa and walk to a dorm at the far end of campus where I could take a shower (most of the dorms on campus had bathrooms accessible only from dorm rooms but the one farthest away had a more traditional bathroom down the hall arrangement—and also a keypad whose code I knew).

I like to imagine that the visiting professor would come back with some other faculty/staff member in tow saying, "I tell you, he's HERE! sleeping in the lounge!" only to be treated like Big Bird trying to show people Snuffleupagous.
GP's point is about languages through history. Compiled-to-machine-code V8 JS came out in 2008.

It's not just about compile-to-byte-code. It's about the "scriptyness" of that bytecode as well. Python bytecode operates at a much higher level of abstraction than machine code or even JVM.

Also we tend to classify languages with more dynamic type systems as "interpreted". It's a nebulous boundary. Not black-and-white whatsoever.
i remember all the news websites switched to simple plain html pages for a while, as their sites couldn’t handle the traffic. i still have a memory of a picture that i couldn’t find again: there was a never ending line of ambulances waiting, one behind another.
Will they do the same for vaccinations? My body, my choice, correct?
I wonder if this could be the same with hot yoga. I had a session yesterday for the first time, and I sweat like never before.
If watching this footage makes you want to stand up and do something, remember that Covid-19 is killing as many people in the US every two days as died in these attacks.

Screencaps of the outputs please!

edit: Actually I see you posted on your twitter some screenshots, thanks!

edit2: Care to provide a summary of what you see in the data? I see hosptilizations/deaths are on the rise but is it just in proportion to the number of people vaccinated?
> It's tragic but if this wasn't in America I likely wouldnt have even heard about the event nor would it be influencing my life this much later due to the ways others have reacted to it. I hope this doesn't read as disrespectful.

I definitely agree to an extent with the sentiment of this - there are numerous attacks in recent times across the world that have killed hundreds of people each and they generally receive very little coverage. However, I also think it perhaps downplays the significance of the WTC attack. 9/11 is still the deadliest terrorist attack in history by quite a significant margin according to [0]. I'd be surprised if a similar event in another country was not covered by world news outlets.

The first place I was a network admin at they had a /16. I didn't deal with private IPs until I left that company in 2015. Even the printers were on a public IP.
No, there's more than enough noise to cause permanent hearing damage.

Obviously higher speeds=higher wind noise; you might be fine < 35mph (~ 55kmh) in a city, but anything above that hearing protection is advisable.

"Measurements of motorcycle riding noise levels vary, but are generally around 85-95 dB at speeds up to 35 mph, climbing to 110-116 dB at 65 mph"
The leading implementation was by Borland, which addressed most of the limitations of the language, and provided a solid compiler and IDE in Turbo Pascal, then Delphi.

Borland started raising the prices of their compilers to the point that the hobbyist could no longer justify it, and market share fell accordingly.

Since Turbo Pascal/Delphi was the only Pascal with a complete library, the fortunes of the language went with it.

There is a fairly reasonable open source Pascal these days, the Free Pascal project, on top of which is built a GUI IDE, Lazarus. They try to maintain feature parity with Delphi, which is now far, far too expensive, they do a fairly good job with it.

It is possible to crank out a Windows GUI program in Lazarus pretty darned quickly. It's my preferred programming environment to this day.
i think it was CNN that did that.

i have a memory of trying to find out what was really happening sitting in one of my college's library's after an early morning class and trying to get anything to even respond, much less load. for some reason i remember 'relief' when i finally saw the CNN logo.
I don't know any GraphQL, and when it came time to implement a GraphQL client, I spent half an hour trying to figure out what it's about, and then simply chose another supplier. It may be "self-documenting", but not for those that didn't go through the learning curve.

The learning curve may be short, or worth it, or fun if you're that kind of person. But don't tell me that all you need is a http client because that's simply not true, not "out there". And I'm certainly not about to subject hundreds of my clients' clients to having to learn something new just to implement a simple API.
> The most logical tab position is on the left or right, on desktop, because most of the space on a wide screen display is on the horrizontal axis, and you want to reserve as much vertical space as possible for scrolling websites (which happens vertically, and pretty much cannot be changed at this point, as it is baked into the web).

This assumes a landscape-oriented monitor.

I would suggest trying this out on a portait oriented monitor. Tabs on top make the most sense there.

Also, I would generally suggest trying out a portrait oriented monitor. It's quite useful for coding, reading, etc.
This is crazy. You suggest that if AWS changes billing somehow, his startup should shoulder the cost? If you don't trust it don't use it.
My only issue is that multiplayer still won’t work e.g. for games that use EasyAnticheat or other software that doesn’t have native support for Linux or you’ll get banned or kicked the latter of which happened to me in a few titles over the past 2-3 years.

Basically unless they have a native version or a developer which officially endorses proton MP is often out of the question because it either won’t work/ban risk or the game doesn’t have client anti cheat detection which means in many cases it would be ripe with cheaters.
Except, at least in the UK, vaccinators will be in schools and will "evaluate" if the child is informed and competent to make the decision without parent consent. Mixed with financial incentives, for each child vaccinated, looks like a bad stance
I did not know about that one. It looks really nice and pricing is actually reasonable, unlike NaviCats offering.

> The truth is that localized excel has enabled a generation of people speaking poor english to still do pretty dope stuff for their business.

I got paid a lot to transform projects that used abusively Excel sheets. All of them had absurdly long delay and cost explosions caused by this.

Excel sheets are for small business and small projects by non-programmers. Excel sheets in a non-English language are for small businesses and small projects by non-programmers that are doomed to stay this way. This is because having programmers that want to unfuck a mess of macro AND speaking your foreign language simply are very rare AND doing so before the business implodes are very slim.
> it seems most of the customers of privacy focused products

Do most people use Firefox because it's "privacy focused"? I don't - I think people use it because it does the things they want ... and "privacy" is far down that list.

I know I'm an odd-ball, but I haven't upgrading my FF because I want ftp support in my browser. I upgraded the desktop my kids use, and the tabs went all wonky. The only reason I haven't switched is I trust Google less than I do FF, and I want to stave off a technology monoculture.

Yes, my clear desire for ftp support means I don't want technologically perfect security or privacy.

Concerning "privacy" as the article points out in the section "Invading your privacy at the same time as telling us “we value your privacy”

] Telemetry. Hidden telemetry that isn’t disabled when you click “disable telemetry”. Firstrun pings. Forced signing of add-ons. Auto-updates you can’t switch off, pinging every 10 minutes. “Experiments” which require a separate opt out. Now the latest offence is enforcing app based 2FA to login to a Firefox Add-on account just to make a custom theme, which you wouldn’t need in the first place if not for forced add-on signing.

> either the product stops growing and simply becomes a niche product for those set of users or it dies.

FF has dropped a lot of users, so I assume you mean it's decided to be a niche product in the "privacy" space, and not a generally useful tool?

Its marketing doesn't seem that successful, as my first thoughts are to switch to a tool based on FOSS Chromium.

Before someone asks if this could be "fixed": This is a desirable trait. It improves the frame stiffness of the vehicle, resulting in better handling.

What? My mom has been using linux for 5 years and I don't think she even knows what windows or linux is.
She calls her computer "the memory" or "that box".
No, I didn't notice that.

And if that's the intended use for this stupid website, then it's a terrible lesson plan they've made. It doesn't actually address any meaningful aspect to 9/11 besides make it appear to be from the "beforetimes."
This is kind of like why in America there’s no advertising for sodas because everyone buys them already.
After reading the post, I fail to see any connection between 9/11 and the fact that mass surveillance is not the way forward.

The article is also empty of any reason WHY mass surveillance would not be the way forward, or even why it should not be.

This is a particularly useless article.

What did the Okinawans get most of their calories from? Sweet potatoes.. how much animal protein in their diet? 3 percent https://www.bluezones.com/2017/05/okinawa-diet-eating-living...

If you eat enough calories per day from real plant foods - getting protein deficiency is impossible.
It always disappointed me that there were so few programs for the DESQview environment. I had a calculator app that would take up just enough space for a calculator and it was wonderful. IIRC, I also managed to set things up so that the emacs clone I used could be summoned in its own window via an emacsclient-style interface.
Last time I tried that, it would not install any updates for Windows. Not sure if I was doing something wrong, but without updates this is not a good long-term solution...
USA long-time motorcycle owner here: agree. I believe there have been laws on the books for many years regarding noise limits, but they are (effectively) NEVER enforced. No-muffler-at-all ("straight-pipe") exhausts on V-twin (EX: Harley Davidson and its countless clones) are de facto standard (and for reasons unclear to me are accepted).

Also, aftermarket exhaust systems for motorcycles (99.9% of these being much louder than stock/OEM) are a huge business: I'd guesstimate that 50% of motorcycles sold in the USA soon (< 1 year old) end up running aftermarket exhaust systems; it's a standard first modification done by almost all enthusiast owners.
I’d also go out on a small limb and bet that most gaming rigs are at least partially OEM. I have the knowledge to put together my own gaming/dev workstation - but I’d rather just get a prebuilt that isn’t going to become a timesuck of crappy boot times then swap some components.

Awesome idea and well realized.

In my consulting days I met a number of customers in Quebec who were coding with French method names, variables and such. They were even using accented names for variables. I actually think if they get onto Rouille they might start using it. That's scary but at least, it would look less bancal.

I can bet you can find the same use case in all other languages, so we need Óxido and 锈

Call me an optimist, but "figure that out" could mean game developers stepping up and fixing their games to be more intrinsically robust to cheating. It seems kind of nuts to me that so much development effort has been poured into invasive software that invades the kernel, scans memory, reads the list of running processes, etc. rather than the (admittedly also hard) problem of designing games such that cheat software doesn't work as well.

Reminds me of a company I worked for as a junior dev, not gaming related, where our bread and butter application was hopelessly full of crash bugs, to the point where you couldn't even run it for more than an hour or so continuously without it crashing. Instead of investing in the effort needed to fix the crashers, they instructed me to create a separate "launcher" application that stays resident, waiting for the application to crash, and then re-launching it saving as much state as possible. It felt bonkers to me but I guess it made sense to somebody.
I’ve thought of creating a “worrybook” to jot down anxious thoughts and worries to confirm afterwards whether or not if they had any basis in reality, or were in fact irrational. So another angle of dealing with regret.

Is there any psychological basis of recording bad thoughts to disprove them, as a way to treat anxiety?
The ACLU has been useless as a civil rights organization for quite some time.

If you haven't already, I'd say it's definitely time to find a new defender of these sorts of issues.
You're doing that either way, just like you're going to see ads regardless of whether you paid $$$ for a Windows license, pirated a key or just life with the water-mark and other limits of an unlicensed Windows.
I checked your link regarding Bell's palsy, as an example, and the study said:

>Currently available information is insufficient to determine a causal relationship with the vaccine

so where are you getting the evidence for the claim that 17/100,000 people will get Bell's palsy?

is all your evidence for a non-negligible cost this flimsy?
> 300 million

Add Argentina’s population of 45 million to that. And then go ask Pakistanis how they would feel about a “don’t eat beef” law imposed on them.
Most people don’t have the time or energy at the end of the day to take principled stands on every issue.
On the topic of privacy, it is strange to see the ACLU speak against mass surveillance when they recently flip flopped on vaccine mandates, which are fundamentally about bodily autonomy and health privacy:

I don't know why people argued for bodily autonomy when viruses don't care about bodily autonomy or who they infect.

It would be one thing if a disease isn't infectious, but that's not how covid-19 works.

As it is not easy to feel the real meaning of comments over the internet: rich enough is very vague, but being rich to do this, in life, means inflexible, whether by circumstance or choice. On HN it is mostly choice: people say only the rich can afford it because they themselces choose to live somewhere where you have to be extremely wealthy to have space. With wfh, you can get nice houses with gardens, or, in some countries huge swats of land with a villa or multiple houses for 3-6 months pay at a faang. I get people don't want that: I thought it was for old folk until I lived in such a place for a 6 month sabbatical. I never left.
