Great thanks! Let me know if you are missing something to integrate it.

My goal is to keep Open-Meteo free for non-commercial use and not start introducing API keys with different tiers of payments! The uptake in the recent days is great and motivates me to keep working on it!
I did not even try to approach the question of whether milk is beneficial to health. First we would need to define the question better. Beneficial compared to what? To a dairy free pre agricultural diet? Then it's probably neutral at best. However compared to a calcium deficient diet it's definitely an improvement even if it didn't turn out to be absolutely optimal.

Getting enough calcium in the diet has been linked to healthier BMI and decreased risk of stroke and heart disease. You can get calcium elsewhere but most people don't, or they didn't at the time.

And if you replace milk in the diet you now need to find many other sources of nutrition to make up for lost vitamins and micronutrients which might have been challenging in cooler climates. Maybe milk isn't absolutely optimal for health, the jury is still out on that, but likely it was much better than anything they could get at the time.

Even in the context of a modern diet, replacing milk with soy milk and vegetable milks will yield too much phosphorous and leave you deficient in calcium unless it's fortified (calcium citrate, malate and other kinds of supplemental calcium are linked to worse health, in contrast to dietary calcium which seems to be protective). It can be done by eating a mostly vegetarian diet rich in fruits and leafy greens, or grinding eggshells yourself and adding it to meals but most of the population won't be doing that when eliminating dairy.
Congrats, but you can't opt out of competition indefinitely. If someone is willing to do the same job except better or for less, it'll eventually happen. Or do you think you're entitled to that job due to historical reasons?
Apple blocked FlickType with the reason that full keyboards are not allowed on Apple Watch. Then they introduced their own. No ulterior motives?
Lets remove firefox and opera from the app store too then, since there is already a built-in browser.
“Little people” seems like a strange choice of words. In this case, these were foundational contributions.
Apple did used to be known for paying low of acquisitions (I don’t know if that’s changed in the last ten years).
At least it is suspicious in fact.
I started reading "the computer and the brain", derived from the unperformed silliman lectures by John von Neumann.

The foreword of this small book is almost as large as the main content and does an excellent job of contextualising it in terms of more recognisable modern technology; but also in terms of the contributions, the cyclical relationship between contributors to the field (Chruch, Turing, von Neumann) and how they inspired and fed off each other. Admittedly the writer has bias towards von Neumanns contributions, yet it is still clear that although he was clearly an incredibly smart, inventive and forward thinking individual ahead of his time - the parts that happened to landed on his lap were a product of collaboration between many brilliant people.
Again. You're only showing half the story. For example, where is the link to the Snowden revelations?

The red v blue paradigm is bogus. It's dated. It's a ruse. The Powerful v the powerless is far more accurate.

Just days ago - well timed just prior to 9/11 - the Leader of The Free World announced that freedom was irrelevant. And all the watchers of CNN and MSNBC were silent.

Please don't confuse megalomaniac with tyrant. They are not synonyms. We are every closer to The State being even more powerful. Politeness and narrative doesn't make actions any less acceptable.

"more sensitive" != "more intuitive"
It's our climate.

During the really hot spells we had this year our butter melted at least partially when not kept in the fridge. The rest of the year we can keep butter out of the fridge. If it was consistently 5-10 degrees hotter that just wouldn't be an option really, at a minimum we'd need a cold pantry. I can see solid butter being way more effort to keep than it is worth.

Hmm. Do these have batteries and computers inside? Do they have to? Making things “smart” usually decreases the time span.
> Apple had begun rejecting updates for the app because it required full system access, a fact that Eleftheriou disputed, saying that it still worked without the permissions.

Then why did it even ask for full system access? Did it? IMHO developers of the apps which ask for any permissions besides those technically necessary for performing the actual function the user installs the app for should be warned once and then banned for years.
If you were surprised that someone calmly said, "I can't do that," how would you write it?

This would not convey the correct meaning: She said, "I can't do that!"

This looks incorrect: She said, "I can't do that"!

This looks incorrect as well: She said, "I can't do that."!
How to Escape Loneliness
>> When Eleftheriou rejected Apple, it refused to remove copycat and scam apps from the App Store.

I agree that scam apps should be removed, but why did he expects copycats to be removed?
Of course I don't. What I want is for them to stop propagating the myth that all-screen designs are desirable.
Nice article! Ecto is such a wonderful, composable tool that really shows the benefits of FP.

A while back[1] I mentioned how I find it hard to live without Rails gems like Pagy, Ransack and Pundit.

But after a deep dive with Ecto I now find it almost silly that I was looking for packages to handle those things, they're dead simple with Elixir, Ecto and Phoenix.

Three reasons: one practical, two psychological.

The practical one is that errors in a machine system scale, as do most things with machines. If I have a single bad X-ray tech who is applying the wrong medical process because I have a different race, for some reason, the damage that tech is doing is limited to whatever specific set of patients they are seeing. If a similar error occurs in a popular machine classification tool used widely by a hospital network, the damage is widespread. It is a plus that the machine can be corrected and the correction also scales, but with the (relatively speaking) stone tools we use to understand why a CNN makes its decisions these days, every fix risks breaking something else we're not testing for.

The first psychological reason is that machine learning systems break in "alien" ways. They don't make the kind of mistakes humans make... They make mistakes as a product of their machinery, which means it's much much harder to predict what those mistakes will look like for an average operator. As a frequent example, it's pretty rare for humans to misclassify human beings in photographs as apes, or to fail to recognize a face in an image because the skin is too dark. That's a failure mode that happens over and over again with image recognition systems.

And the second psychological reason is that humans don't trust machines to make human decisions yet. And that mistrust doesn't extend to other humans, even though we're incapable of cracking open another human's mind and understanding their thought process at the mechanistic level. It doesn't matter... we are the same organism and have a shared experience and empathy with them that we lack with machine recognition systems. It's semi-irrational, but it can't be wished away. A system for understanding why a machine makes decisions would be a step in the direction of addressing those concerns.
Same path to getting here. I hope he gets the help he needs - his work has been impressive and useful to the software industry.
there’s nothing about inequality that should mean that we’re collecting a lower percentage of GDP in taxes. There are lots of reasons outside of tax policy that wealth may accumulate.
> are you suggesting someone trust Amazon instead?

It depends on your threat model. But at some point you need to trust someone. I believe Amazon have more to lose by getting caught monitoring egress traffic than VPN operators who’ve been caught doing precisely that.
> Aside from its slimming effect on the wallet, semaglutide often causes other unpleasant side effects like nausea, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, and headache, but they are usually mild and transient if the dose is started low and escalated gradually. “In my clinical experience,” states Macklin, “discontinuation of semaglutide because of side effects is generally nil.”

Perhaps discontinuation from the physician side is generally nil, but I’ve been on semaglutide, and the side effects hit me hard and I discontinued the medicine from my end. I’m not the only person I know that did that - I’d say one in four in my weight loss/diabetes support group has gone non-compliant for long periods of time due to side effects.
Siri got bought, and was not pulled until after that, IIRC.
Blocking the app was probably just a dick move and revenge in response to the rejection. The two softwares aren't actually competing, one now comes with the OS whether you want it or not.

If Apple now bans the use of an alternative keyboard despite it not breaking the rules then that's the real issue: they'd be arbitrarily choosing when to apply or ignore the stated terms of use of the store. Reinstating the app later on once the damage is done is a small price to pay from Apple's perspective.

On the other hand if your product is actually just a feature for someone else's product you're always exposing yourself to a situation where the product developer just builds that feature in.

Think of other fields where you may offer an aftermarket solution like a car seat heating cover but the market evaporates the moment the manufacturer starts offering that as standard.
I said you could get them from a cooperating uncapsicumed process. But, it's not simple, and what are you going to write that loophole process in, and why does it get access to the filesystem if it only needed sockets, etc.

Capsicum is simply not flexible in this way. Maybe if there was a way to open a new socket with a capability you setup earlier, that would be flexible enough.
100% correct. This has been the case since sometime around Occupy Wall Street when various accounts related to Operation Clambake/Scientology anons were given away to a completely cringey set of pro-globalist ideologues who want to pretend they're the same group of people for the supposed clout. Anyone actually familiar just finds it embarrassing.

I know of no evidence that Linux context switching on x86/x86_64 is slower than any other OS, and some suggestions that it is faster (Linux does not save/restore FP state, which Windows (at least at one point) does).

Linux is as capable or more capable of realtime work than any other general purpose OS, and the latency numbers from actual measurement are excellent (when using RT_PREEMPT etc).

What are you referring to?
Did anyone else notice the reflow hack(?) using JS on the H1 title as well? As a backend guy, just curious whether this JS-assisted way of responsive Web development is commonplace/best practice, and if this is how it is usually done today.

I guess it is to keep the title and navbar buttons level on wide screens.

These excuses just keep getting funnier. App developers: make sure you file your patents, or else its YOUR fault if Apple decides to participate in blatant 90s style Microsoft anticompetitive behavior.

It's not speculation, Apple for sure wanted to buy and had invited over Kostas to demo FlickType. Kostas for sure wanted to sell, since he went over at Apple to showcase his very good and usable watch keyboard. They didn't agree on a price and thus parted ways.
The first thing i do on a new remote box is to move SSH to another non-standard port other than 22. I use the same port for every remote boxes I have. Then add that port into `.ssh/config` on local box.

Second is to disable root login.

Third is to copy my private key over and disable password login.

That seems misrepresenting the original points: it can run the vast majority of python programs unmodified AND in some cases outperform Python - not at the same time.
It’s pretty astounding if this isn’t flagged as monopolistic behavior.

I’m not opposed to Apple introducing a system keyboard as a clone but the independent developer should not be strong-armed off their platform.

Honestly it just shows weakness of character for the entire Apple company. This is no different than voter suppression when candidates can’t garner votes from the public legitimately.

Oh wait, I guess half the government is fine with voter suppression and whining like 4 yr olds about voter fraud.

That’s the new Apple for you…

Then again, they have the power and capability to make this move. Whose to blame them? A keyboard is something that should be locked down from a security standpoint and a fundamental piece of the system.

That being said you won’t catch me ten feet near an Apple Watch as a dev. Or as a citizen—that is a huge privacy concern. Not to mention the battery life is shit. I tried one for a week and couldn’t bear to have 3 charging cables by my bed at night. I would need at least a week but 2 weeks charge would be ideal…
I specifically advocate for community centered economics. This is in contrast to the rather myopically individualist economics we have in the USA today. Of course people are often selfless in the social realm (helping others etc) but I am intrigued by alternative arrangements of our economy which would see more of the profits generated by workers go directly to those workers rather than see those profits accrue to a minority at the top. I see our economic system as somewhat predatory and highly hierarchical, and I seek alternative arrangements which would eliminate technically unnecessary hierarchies.
> I am against regulations but I still find these practices anticompetitive

I really don't know how anyone can see this sort of crap and say they're against regulations. The market obviously isn't fixing itself, do you have any other solution?
Yes, this "from my perspective, you are elite, so it is okay to abuse you for a while" will quickly backfire on people lower on the social ladder.

It is okay to wake up McKinsey employees at 2AM, because hey, they make more money than most of us.

It is okay to make software developers work 60 hours a week, because hey, they make more money than most of us (from the perspective of someone outside the Hacker News audience).

It is okay to... mistreat people in some sweatshop, because hey, they make slightly more money than... people working in some other sweatshop.

How about instead adopting the rule "40 hours a week, not a second more, full stop, no exception". Yeah, some rich kids would benefit from that, too. But you wouldn't have to worry that the lack of empathy will trickle down to you, so maybe it's a smarter strategy in long term. (Especially for the Hacker News readers, who are often not that far from the top.)

Youtube channel Launch Pad Astronomy discussed some of the challenges for a lunar telescope:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKJY7gH2n9I

One of the problems is moon dust. There's a lot of it. If you build a big parabolic dish on the moon, you'll need some way to either remove dust or prevent it from accumulating in the first place.

Another issue is the change in temperature. Without an atmosphere stabilize the temperature, day times become extremely hot and night times are extremely cold. This means that you need to engineer something that can withstand very significant swings in temperature over the course of the lunar day.

Challenges like these highlight the benefit of placing James Webb space telescope at Lagrange Point L2. The temperature remains constant and there's far less interplanetary dust than moon dust.

That isn't to say that we shouldn't build a lunar telescope, but we should have a clear understanding of the difficulties.
It generates a new RSA key but disables it in the config? Seems a bit much mindless cut and paste.
These degrees of freedom exist, yes. They also don’t entirely repudiate the basic claim that the US is substantially a totalitarian state. The genesis of it didn’t come from a revolution devolved into a cult of personality as in past times. I think it mostly stems from relatively benign reasons, growth in entitlements, “there aught to be a law” attitudes, zero tolerance, unending internal wars/crusades against poverty, crime and drugs.

Totalitarianism is a proposed concept used in academia and in politics to describe a form of government and political system that prohibits all opposition parties, outlaws individual opposition to the state and its claims, and exercises an extremely high degree of control over public and private life.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totalitarianism
Unpopular opinion: politicians always stealing what they do not produce in the name of whatever.

Leave people alone. Let people live. Do not control what people should earn or not. Just grant the right to not be damaged to others, that is your job politicians. Not trying to coactively spoil people their effort.

Good afternoon. Written from Spain, where things and mindsets are way worse than there in this regard. You are starting to mess up what took you to being developed.
There was a time when FreeBSD had much better networking performance than Linux, but that was many years ago.

Now, on supported hardware, their performance should be similar.

However, Linux has drivers for much more varied networking hardware. FreeBSD has very good support for Intel NIC's but some of the hardware from other vendors may happen to be not supported.

FreeBSD has a few nicer kernel features for those who develop themselves a networking application, but more networking libraries useful for high performance applications are available for Linux, even if DPDK, which was mentioned in another reply, is available for both Linux and FreeBSD.

So, while I am a very satisfied FreeBSD user, I would recommend to someone with less experience to use Linux, as there are more resources readily available.

On the other hand, for someone who wants to learn more about the implementation of networking applications, it can be useful to also try FreeBSD, to understand more about alternative solutions.
Changesets are such a great idea, I always find myself trying to replicate them when working in other environments.

gradually more people are shifting to BT accessories: band / smart watch, BT speakers / earbuds, etc.

might be possible to have calls-only capability using just a wrist-device and BT earbuds. But there's no real estate to pump ads, so this will never happen. sad.
Steve Jobs is also oversold.

Because traditional tires wear down over time even if they aren’t punctured. The goal is to make ones that last longer than that.

Also, airless tires are puncture proof by definition.
Alfred has a lot more features. For example I constantly use the clipboard manager in Alfred and as far as I know, Spotlight has no such functionality.

Of course, Alfred was always designed to work alongside Spotlight since all the actual indexing relies on Spotlight.

Exemption? I would call it "ability to not be stolen".The vocabulary of states is very evil. By exemption it lookslike they are saying "we forgive you and do not make you pay what belongs to us" when in fact it is just the opposite, they take what does not belong to them.

Drivers may cause issues in some cases but I'm using a Magic Trackpad 2 with Linux on a Dell laptop, and the problem is definitely the hardware. The external trackpad works flawlessly, the built in one is terrible.
