I think this is good advice, except probably for road cycling. Both my physio therapist and Yoga teacher told me that sitting on a road bike is counter-productive to improving my flexibility, given that I already sit at a desk most of my day.

I try to get a sense of market size and how much crowded the space is, sometimes it's too small or sometimes it's too crowded, so then I don't go ahead with that idea.

I have not abandoned a lot but dismissed a few of potential ideas.

No not really, I do work when I feel like or take a vacation when I want to.
I'm not a big fan of China's huge emissions growths over the last decade, but, on the other hand, they have a pretty good track record of coming up with plans and sticking to them, and they do have a plan.
1) That's not true. There's a narrative outside the field that it can be outsourced, even VCs have "sagely" told me that, but it's a lay person misunderstanding. (Ironically, very little semi hardware is done in US startups, so that leaves only software.)

2) US companies keep ratcheting up interview demands, which artificially constrains eligible candidates.

Examples are using coderpad where your code has to compile and pass a test/performance suite now, and doing random memory quizzes in addition to programming. But that's the fault of the hiring company.
It's a television story from 1977. You can learn about this historical thing or not, but based on your comments it seems clear you just want to argue without learning anything.

Is this a removal of a feature?
Freedom from oppression is not an American value, and Americans need to stop thinking that. It is a universal value, cherished by people all over the world, including in Russia. The russian people is being taken advantage of by a small oligarchy that steals their resources, and the app that Google and Apple removed was supposed to help them transition to more democracy during the upcoming elections.

The outrage is perfectly justified.
Interesting, I'd ask you why.

Anecdotally I've built hundreds of websites, and worked on many product teams building web applications all with varying team/product sizes and in my experience BEM scales very poorly. I have never worked on a BEM codebase without a shocking level amount of tech debt. Adding new UI requires creating new CSS files, refactoring existing UI requires also refactoring the separate CSS files, removing UI is the same thing. Due to this disconnect, old code tends to stick around.

One of my product teams moved from BEM to Tailwind and productivity/maintainability improved tremendously.
Yeah - it is very fast. You can specify a --no-check flag which makes it even faster.
I turn off my phone when I go to sleep and turn it on in the morning. It requires me to enter the password then, while I'm still at home and never prompted me to enter it over the day again
There's a correlation between religiosity and ignorance and pointing out a single case won't exclude causation.

Just a comment, another benefit of this kind of molten-salt reactor is that it is very hot: ~650°C c.f. ~150°C for steam.

So not only does it theoretically produce electricity better using e.g. CO2 in the Brayton cycle, but the heat can be used - possible in conjunction with a turbo air heater - to use for industrial heat.

There are a lot of very lucrative industrial processes that need high temperatures.
The point of ReactOS is driver-level compatibility with Windows. The project implements their own equivalent of things like the Windows HAL or Windows Driver Model, which ideally should mean ReactOS can be a drop-in replacement for old Windows machines used to run some piece of hardware that only has a Windows driver. There are still industrial machines being driven over parallel port by WinXP. The Win32 API program used for controlling the machine most likely works just fine with Wine, but the necessary driver definitely doesn't. The ultimate goal of ReactOS is that you could just install the driver on it and thus control the industrial machine exactly like WinXP did it.

It's an admirable project, though of course it's nowhere near ready for use. Currently ReactOS doesn't run on a lot of real hardware, and is still well behind WinXP in terms of hardware support (USB memory sticks don't work, USB keyboards have problems, Wifi has minimal support and only for open networks, etc), but the goals of ReactOS are very different from Wine.
How big a share does the co-founder get? 50%?

> While German politicians still ask for the internet to be printed for them.

Austrian here, but its funny how Europe in general is still so walled from technology, I'm not just talking about people don't know how to use apps or that. Im a developer and I've worked remotely with clients from Silicon Valley and now I work with local companies and I must say the wiligness to learn something new and to explore new things is just not there.

The current company has a product almost 20 years old and still runs on old Java code. Which is fine, dont fix what is broken, but now we need to rewrite everything in new Tech stack, and thats where I come in, I got hired to help the transition. However, the people are so not in to work on something new.. they just want their Eclipse and Java. I dont know if this is a culture thing or what, but they are just not fans of technology as it seems.
It is a totally different thing. App store apps are localized, Youtube is currently global.
Asking. Perhaps it was a clever move from Google to formally satisfy government demand, without actually blocking the app for motivates users.
Yes, when you are building a lot of turbines, it by necessity involves a lot of work in dangerous conditions, so people fall
Don't fix something that is NOT broken* Typo
(Based on reading just one article, I've never seen or used the app) Seems like all the app did was serve as list of candidates, 225 electoral districts long, and a map from street address to electoral district.

Surely this can be trivially implemented as a website, in a matter of hours, no? It looks like the mistake Navalny's team made was trusting one method of distribution of information. Even worse, trusting a method with a central and corporate choke point.

That aside, I'm disgusted, but not surprised, at Google's actions.
> Brigham, the study's lead author, cautioned that the numbers are preliminary and the research paper has yet to be peer reviewed. Beginning next week, teams of scientists will hike to the groves that experienced the most fire damage for the first time since the ashes settled.

It's hard to believe those trees died in this fire. Tragic if true.
> YouTube does not control all expression through video. There are both other video streaming platforms,

For almost all intents and purposes, the audience is on YouTube only. Use anything else, and you are basically guaranteed to divide your audience by two orders of magnitude. Such is their monopoly on videos that are over 1 minute long.

This makes YouTube deplatforming very close to actual government censorship. The only meaningful difference is the lack of due process.
If you noticed an arbitrage opportunity which required a substantial initial fund but could be executed as a single transaction, a flash loan could let you do that, and I think that’s kinda neat.

Seems like it should make some things more efficient? That is, if the things that the arbitrage is about have any actual meaning to them.
Would be a historical coordination if true.
This is what I do everyday as my basic routine:

- Weightlifting (3 kg dumbbells) + 50 squats

- 10 min routine (look one you like in youtube)

- 7000 steps walk late at night.

For me that's the bare minimum.
Not disagreeing, I should have said 'one of the problems'.

Nevertheless, same goes here, there's insufficient interest from the citizenry to break that nexus too. Breaking party loyalty etc. to obtain a fairer system has been the bane of modern democracy for hundreds of years - back to Hobbes, Locke etc. As I said it's depressing that there's no easy solution.

Edit: Same goes for any lobby who wields effective power over the elected, remember Edmund Burke got the shift from the electors of Bristol when he dared move off their agenda to put broader (national) interest first. Whilst this broader approach seems fairer/better for all it's nevertheless a double-edge sword though, as it allows politicalians an excuse to pursue another agenda - one that may not be in either the electors' or national interest but rather that of a third party or even him or herself. The problem remains, we've no effective way of fixing it/balancing all interests fairly.
The first exit was surprisingly well planned, for the time. Obviously back then climate change wasn't even close to as urgent as it is now. The overturned Ausstieg-vom-Ausstieg was a knee-jerk reaction to a change in public opinion, a change that included traditionally conservative voters.
I finally cracked and installed Linux Mint on my mother's pc after failing to give her proper phone assistance in Windows 10. I was shocked how cluttered it is. For someone like my mother it's very confusing. Why do web searches show up in the menu? Everything seems to be full of confusing effects and the settings remind me of the metro UI, there's almost no options or else you have to follow one of the little links (choose the right one!). I think Microsoft secret plan must be to have everybody switch to Linux. I mean how hard can it to have a menu open, show a search bar and give proper results that you can easily scan visually?

Maybe such promises were made, but the article is pretty scant on evidence.

You should Google Afghanistan, or pretty much any Middle-Eastern country that was liberated by the Americans. See how well it ended.
Resolution-Robust Large Mask Inpainting with Fourier Convolutions
Yes, you're right. Four main reasons that drove me towards Mullvad:

1. Mozilla VPN is built on top of it.

2. Cheap and stable price. 5€/month.

3. Ability to pay by cash.

4. Founded and based in Europe (Sweden).

It can, it's just that biologists aren't the ones that are winning the equities and securities game most frequently.

Given their inexperience, they throw money at things blindly, not realizing there are lower hanging fruit than the brain.

A billionaire biologist could attack the problem from first principles. And probably make measurable headway.
Image Synthesis via Semantic Composition
I'm a happy user. I only have one game currently, for which I reboot into my win10, but only because it has BattleEye anti-cheat.
It seems our governments tried to walk a fine line for a while with China, because the trade dollars were so good. That's all a bit out the window now. They've slapped us (economically) a few times over the last couple of years but I don't think they can go too much further down that route - they still need a lot of the stuff we're digging out of the ground.

With little for Australia left to lose trade-wise, doubling down on the US relationship makes sense. We're so intertwined already, we may as well get any more benefits we can out of it. The more the US has sitting in Australia, the more it's in their interests for us to be safe and stable.

Pity about France but it seems that project was not going well anyway. If we're going to waste money we may as well get better kit out of it (eventually).
>While German politicians still ask for the internet to be printed for them.

as a tech guy, I must say I don't like reading anything on screen. Not even retina display. Something about having light emitting to my eyes makes it uncomfortable. Paper are just more pleasant to read. Hope they come up with better E-Ink type of tech soon.

Ask HN: How to manage remote development teams?
So Im struggling a bit, I'm now working with colleagues from the US from EU. We have a partner project with them but the thing is I kinda struggle to get a feel to work with them.

I do ocasionally have meetings with them, they record standups and I watch them, but how can I improve my involement and not feel like a outsourced resource or a freelancer. Because our companies still do the work together..

Are there some good to know things in general for this type of issue?
I was thinking this morning about how the Raspberry Pi never really quite got it right in bringing the legacy of the early 80's computers into the 21st century.

The Pi Foundation bring out new models, but I think this just complicates things. They are evolving more towards PCs. I think this is unfortunate. The question they should be asking is: what if we crossed a RP2040 with a Pi Zero? Perhaps with a very simple "DOS".
People read it but just don't trust it. The sort of people who are trying to shut down all anti-lockdown protests are the sort of people who routinely describe any speech they dislike as "violence" that makes people "unsafe" so their claims about inciting violence are worthless. Also, mis-characterising protests is the easiest thing in the world. Remember the BLM protests were "mostly peaceful" even as cars were literally on fire behind the journalists saying that. They would have no problems bending reporting in the other direction.

Here's some footage of the equivalent protests in Paris.

https://dailysceptic.org/2021/09/16/footage-of-the-protests-...

The protesters are marching whilst heavily armed police tear gas them, try to stop them moving down the streets, fire things into the air (not entirely sure what but it's some kind of projectile weapon), corral them, try to fine them for turning up a few hours early, and so on.
Privacy is not political but (unfortunately?) must be regulated by politicians.
Question: are there any mature CSS component frameworks out there aside from Bootstrap and Bulma? And why aren't there more?
Integrity? That just show what their priorities are.
I hear the era of GDI being run in kernel mode was...not good for stability or security, but I rarely used 2000 and never used NT 4.0 so perhaps there are better mouthpieces than myself.
> I can only imagine this story was spun by employee who saw the founders selling and getting bunch of money and now think they should have reaped some of the benefits.

Perhaps they should have. After all, without the employees' help Mailchimp wouldn't have been worth 12 billion today.
OpenAI Is Making Coding as Easy as Talking to a Smart Speaker
What stops me from switching to Tailwind away from Vuetify is the lack of a well rounded library of components. TailwindUI and now Flowbite get us part way there, but it’s still jarringly sparse compared to dropping in a very customizable v-btn or v-alert, not to mention the crazy robust v-data-table.

When I use stuff like Bulma or Bootstrap instead of Vuetify I feel like I’m doing 10x the amount of work for 0x more customization or optimization.

Is there a case to be made for a Tailwind component library for my use-case?
Human microphysiological systems for drug development
Agreed. I taught myself to program on my Acorn Atom, I still remember the "Aha!" moment when I finally understood what I needed to make a simple "Space Invaders" program on my (minimal) 2K Acorn Atom, (later sold by "Bug Byte" software).
I wanted to find an example from Kath & Kim, but couldn't find any on Youtube that wasn't just the "Look at moi" set-up to the actual joke. I'm sorry.
Tailwind is not, in fact, written in SASS (also, for what it's worth it's Sass - not SASS) - it's a PostCSS plugin. Additionally, the primary use case of Bourbon was to create composable mixins - not to expose utility classes. It would only be comparable to Tailwind if you were using Tailwind's @apply rules and not composing with the utility classes directly in the DOM.
To this day, when doing Material design based stuff you are left to your own devices, because Google UI/UX team announced it to the world, and then left to each single developer out there to customize their Android widgets to achieve their design documents.

There are a couple of Google IO sessions where the presenter goes through how to custom write Android views to match Material.

Then a couple of years of comunity complaints they released a Material custom theme for Android that still doesn't implement 1:1 their UI/UX specification.

When this framework was finally catching up with Material documentation, they release Material You.
> Apple struck a deal with the government that will show users a prompt when first configuring a device in Russia to pre-install apps from a list of government-approved software. Users will have the ability to decline the installation of certain apps.

Apps you can decline? And uninstall? We are talking about quite different things here. Not to mention every Android with pre-installed bloatware.
I think it's fairly obvious that using "we will never sell" as a justification for not giving other people equity over the years was just that -- a justification for not giving other people equity over the years. It seems that paid off.
> "you'll probably never get hired anywhere again."

No, you'll never get hired anywhere again with companies that employ the same tactics. Ideally you've just developed an uber-filter to get rid of all the terrible companies in one go.
> you’re either dealing with Mossad or not-Mossad.

No, you’re leaving out one very important class of actors, which I will call the NSA: The NSA, and others like them, unlike Mossad, are not after you personally, in that they don't want to do anything to you. Not immediately. Not now. They simply want to get to know you better. They are gathering information. All the information. What you do, what you buy, how you vote, what you think. And they want to do this to everybody, all the time. This might or not bite you in the future. You seems to imply that since nothing immediately bad is happening by using slightly bad security, then it’s OK and we shouldn’t worry about it, since Mossad is not after us. I think that we should have a slightly longer view of what allowing NSA (et al.) to know everything about everybody would mean, and who NSA could some day give this information to, and what those people could do with the information. You have to think a few steps ahead to realize the danger.

A Universal System for Decoding Any Type of Data Sent Across a Network
Heaven forbid parents have to pack food in their kids bags for a while. I always took my own lunch to school.
I think there’s a mandatory year’s delay before a second manual change is possible? At least I vaguely remember something like that back from when I moved. Google also recently force-switched me to the US (!) because that’s where the VPS provider I use to host a personal VPN is incorporated (but not where the VPS itself is located, funnily enough). So, not impossible, but not entirely trivial either. APKMirror or something similar sounds like a more viable approach. And Apple users are completely screwed from what I understand.

Two things of note, however:

- It’s all well and good fooling around with APKs (the devs aren’t completely opposed to just publishing them as files, either), but the primary value of the centralized repos is as a seed distribution mechanism for censorship circumvention: if something completely unforeseen happens and none of the pre-arranged responses work, you know you’ll just be able to push an update through the repo, and the Russian government would have to cripple most devices in the country to prevent that. That no longer holds.

(Google Docs was blocked via SNI sniffing on cellular networks for about half a day yesterday, though, so I’ll have to revise my estimates of what they’re willing to break.)

- The primary issue is tactical voting lists for the parliamentary election (they published them on Docs as well, see?). That election started this morning, Friday 17, and will end on Sunday 19. After that point most of this will be moot. So any approach that you can’t inform most of your users about in that time span is useless.

(This is in contrast to the protracted battles over Telegram some time ago, which took place over a couple of years.)

Curse the US polititians and press for promoting the “foreign election interference” meme, now US companies are forced to comply or the Russian government will be able to cry hypocrisy. The equivalence is invalid when considered in full, of course, but the slogan was “foreigner influencing elections = bad”, and with that level of detail it is valid. That’s the problem with slogans: they eliminate nuance.

(The EU slogan, “foreign tech company flouting local law = bad”, would also be exploitable here, but thankfully it didn’t penetrate that far. Note that I support most of the specific values of “law” this slogan was originally instantiated with!)
Integrity of what exactly?
The rule is "Cost < Price < Value"
Exactly. Although to me the style of programming has kind of come full circle. We all used to make fun of Emacs as an operating system in search of a good editor, but VSCode is basically a very Emacs like environment.

The resurgence of the command line has surprised me, in a good way. Sitting at a debian box with VSCode and a few terminal windows humming isn't a big leap from what having a sparcstation on my desk used to feel like.

Visual Studio and Android Studio suddenly feel very old fashioned and confining.

Edit: to be fair, if your background was mainframe programming, most of those paradigms would be pretty alien.
Watergate and Iran-Contra are about malicious intent but what I see is a rise of institutional incompetence and ineffectiveness which is rather different.

Consider the mistakes of the WHO. Failure to recommend and even decrying early border closures, failure to declare a pandemic until months after evident global spread, and saying masks positively do not work and then dragging their feet for months on the question.

Contrast that to how the WHO reacted to the first SARS, and we can observe a significant deterioration in competence. I could be mistaken, but it doesn't seem that it's just that we are hearing more about incompetence or have short memories.

I can only speculate on the reasons for this. Political polarization leading to affiliation over competence in hiring decisions, more corruption due to cronyism, diversity over competence in hiring decisions, or overly risk-averse decision making due to fear of social media mobs, are candidate explanations.
I'm cackling behind my desk here as I imagine some British bureaucrats gleefully hopping in their chairs as they drink tea with their pinkies up, round spectabled, shouting "well done chaps" to each other.
The reason .xyz domains are banned is because of the amount of spam sent from that domain. In my case 100% was spam. So blacklisting it was an easy fix.

If I was owner of the .xyz TLD domain, I would be very concerned to kick out spammers because it kills the value of the .xyz TLD.
