Spotify poised to overtake Apple Podcasts this year
I support any work being done towards improving mental health, but I worry about the inevitable privacy implications.

I also don't think it should be any single company's job either. There are issues in our healthcare system in regards to mental health, and I think that needs to be directly addressed head on for real sustainable long-term solutions.
Very comfortable pydantic integration. This gives you Swagger docs and type checking for free.

I've never actually used starlette directly, but it doesn't sound very ergonomic
The problem with this analogy is that GMail and ISPs treat all traffic equally, where as Facebook and other "engagement"-driven social media use algorithms to prioritize content that generates the most engagement (which often happens to be the most outrageous, offensive or divisive content).
What value is the middle man going to add when the person with the trailer and goats has all the business they want?
I dont drink ay places that need to scan my ID and keep a record of it.
Keep in mind that's only true for the T series. P series ThinkPads (like the P52 albatross round my neck) are a pain in the ass, unserviceable and finnicky to even install Linux on because of the Nvidia GPU you mentioned.

Don't touch a Thinkpad unless it's a T series. But a T series ThinkPads will also not be any sleek form factor that most people would want either.
I don't think we can hold it against the citizens that we, as a society in the US, are fortunate enough to have naturalized by Facebook. For all their myriad harms, Facebook engineers are no slouches. We definitely get talent by Visa holders immigrating by their employment; further, I don't think we're familiar enough with their experience in their home to say that they shouldn't take any opportunity they can get to make it to the US. For all our myriad problems, I do think we're a great nation.

However, excepting these employees alone, I do agree with you: Facebook employees are not good people.
I in general agree to a sort of governmental (or even inter-governmental) services for lightweight identity verification. Lightweight in a sense that these services do not give any new personally identifiable information to clients, they are only given cryptographic proofs. If implemented very well, it may be usable for a whole lot of applications other than just age verification.

However a partial or faulty implementation of the concept can be very dangerous. South Korean websites used to receive a Resident Registration Number (RRN, 주민등록번호) for all imaginable reasons, including just catching double registration. RRN was and remains crucial for identity verification and it is estimated that virtually every SK national has been subject to multiple accidents that exposed their RRNs before such practice is forbidden. After that the Accredited Certificate of Authentication (공인인증서, nowadays the Recognized Common Certificate 공동인증서) is in place, which was another travesty that is based on X.509 but with non-standard practices based on ActiveX. Nowadays age and identity verification is commonly done with mobile phones, and there are multiple such services mostly run by CICs and telcos. This did dramatically reduce the use of RRNs and is much more convenient for typical people, but if you do not own SK mobile phones (e.g. you are foreigners) you can't use them and there are frequently no fallbacks. Also I generally don't trust the security of those services.
The NYT reporter posted on Twitter clarifying that the news feed isn’t being manipulated: https://twitter.com/rmac18/status/1440457311298883588
Calling people outside your team "NPCs" sure is a... choice.
>So Zuck rated girls in college. I’ve used such sites and behaved badly when I was younger as well. Nobodies hands are spotless. That one thing certainly does not define him.

Sure, one thing doesn't define someone. But in the instance of Zuckerberg, you've got "rating girls in college" followed by every other user-hostile thing his company has done since, so...
It’s not the pay but the benefits they get and connections they make. IIRC, there was an article published few years ago analyzing how the net worth changed before, during and after being congressman. Pretty much everyone's networth increased significantly.
I'll stretch the analogy and say having a supportive spouse without being a supportive spouse is Kryptonite. I'll assume that should the OP's wife express that she was at the breaking point that he would be similarly supportive of her desires.
If it had a 16 inch version I'd buy one now. I just want a linux with premiere linux support. Granted the system 76 one is pretty good too. I don't give a crap about the ports. I USB-C all the things. I moved on.
Smoking is carcinogenic because it involves incomplete combustion of tobacco, the products of which are directly inhaled. Nothing to do with nicotine.
When I last used the Michelin guide, about ten years ago, it was a little bizarre: IIRC descriptions would give 2-3 sentences about the decor or service, a short phrase about the food, the rating, and that was it. My choice was to blindly trust the rating or to look elsewhere. I took the rating into account, but I need much more information. Is it still that way? Did I misunderstand something?
Manyverse is Android/iOS only, but it talks to desktop Secure Scuttlebutt clients like Patchbay: https://github.com/ssbc/patchbay
There is a productivity problem with supporting multiple OSes: either one OS is unsupported (and people who use it waste their time configuring it), or all the tooling, internal documentation and tutorials has to support both - in which case it is often almost double the work.

I have personally seen team members waste days of their time because they tried to adopt an internal script to MacOS, instead of just using Linux VM as recommended.
The article has a quote from Nancy's team that says she does not personally own any stocks and that the transactions are made by her husband.

Barring congress from owning or trading stock would do nothing in this case. Barring congress and their direct family members from owning or trading stock would just mean that Nancy's cousin or good friend suddenly becomes a genius investor.

Insider trading is already illegal. It's just not being enforced here, or it's too difficult to prove. (Or maybe her husband really is just psychic!)
How Dickensian.
This is fantastic. I am definitely going to look into the blktrace calls. They look useful.

I've been looking for a way to copy virtual machine disks over the network with minimal downtime.

I.e. Copy the entire 50 GB disk over. Suspend the VM. Do a quick pass that picks up the changed blocks. Resume the VM.

Does anyone have a tool for that? It would be similar to how QEMU/KVM does it for VM migrations. (They only support doing it for RAM though.)

---

Also related, you can use the sysrq feature on Linux to remount the root file system as read-only. Then run `dd if=/dev/sda | ssh user@destination.com 'cat > sda.img'`
to transfer the root partition consistently.

I've used this twice to migrate VPSs off of Cloud providers and onto my physical servers to convert to .qcow2 images. Worked perfectly :)

I'm not sure if you are required to reboot afterwards, but I always do. It would be nice to "un sysrq remount".
Oracle, MSSQL and some rarer ones (Actian Zen?) are "VSS-Aware" in that they register a writer driver. This gives them a callback before the snapshot starts - a chance to flush transactions and hold off writing any more, for a second or two until the disk snapshot is created and block tracking has begun. Then they get a second callback saying they can resume.

More interesting is e.g. Hyper-V using this to snapshot the guest VMs.

It just takes you one step beyond being only crash-consistent, so that everything is actually application-consistent.

Implementing a VSS writer is a big 90's-style COM interface, but there is also a lightweight alternative model on top of that that eludes my search right now.

Red Hat has some similar convention for freeze/thaw scripts that can make API calls to the DB to ask it to do the same thing.
TypeScript’s never type, what’s the point? (2019)
I'd say this is cultural and you won't ever get the same outcome in the USA(or Australia where I am from). Car drivers think they own the road. In Australia there is outright hostility towards cyclists on the road from the proudly ignorant.
Vessel constriction or dilation by itself is not necessarily a bad thing. CO2 is a potent vasodilator, but no one would claim holding/pacing your breath for swimming is a bad thing. Caffeine too has a strong vasoconstricting effect.
It's almost as if playing in the rat race isn't easy or fair. Moving to a rural area or living on social welfare is usually also an option but you have to quit the rat-race to do that and miss out on all the wealth and social status.
And yet they are all responsible for reporting CSAM found on their servers. These platforms are not dumb pipes, the ability is already there to decide what is allowed and what is not.
What home screen is that on your Apple Watch?
It's also needed for just making sure your internet is setup properly at home. Nobody cares about your speed test over wifi, but ISP's sometimes care if you can't get anywhere close to the rated speeds over Ethernet.

And of course that setup still requires Ethernet. Can't setup a wifi ap over wifi.
Is there a market for "mathematically superior" tools similar to this? I've been developing this sort of math for more than half my life, and would love to "productize" it. I just never thought there'd be a market...

I wonder how many paying customers Chordify has.
I thought this was a pretty good explanation of why TypeScript has a `never` type. I always see it used in conditional and mapped types, but didn't understand why the language had it to begin with.
I applied to a couple jobs posted here on HN with detailed emails covering my applicable industry experience in the same roles and never heard back from either:

"Ignore the crunchy comments saying don't eat meat, don't have kids, and don't drive. You have no impact as a consumer or influencer."

Yet each of these actions can be quantified in terms of CO2 no emitted or resources preserved. There is an impact, and that impact becomes apparent given sufficient scale and time.

One's choice not to have kids could very well provide exponential savings when compared to one's personal lifetime emissions/consumption when looking over generations.
> losing the moments I had with my family because my mind was so overloaded and preoccupied with things that ultimately didn't f*** matter.

12-18 mo after joining most companies in my career, this was my feeling. It's awful. You literally fight to make things better in a company, to help the company earn a bit more profit.

There are the enviable? people who can just work the 9 hours, do the job, not get committed or emotionally invested, and then leave the job when they walk out the door. But for some of us, there's the vision of what could be, and the absurd obstacles preventing us from reaching the what could be. Even so, the what could be often just means a percent or two more profit for the company. If you're saving babies and solving world hunger, it matters. If you're helping telecom companies recover from problems related to the 1980s billing systems which they never bit the bulled and replaced, it ultimately means nothing.

> A weight was lifted off my shoulders.

Until you feel this weight, and you walk away, you cannot know what this feels like. For the author, in such a short sentence, it sounds immediate. For me, 6 weeks after quitting a permanent contract (which is the kind of guaranteed security we're not used to in the US unless you're exective with a golden parachute), I'm finally coming to grips with my freedom. It's like a sponge that has been squeezed into a 1cm cube.

If I could give my younger self advice, it would be to NEVER go work for a company unless you were absolutely passionate about their mission. Never work for the money. You could work for the money and die rich, never having lived authentically. Or you could live authentically, rich or poor, and die satisfied.
Link or not, they did not use the term "manipulated".
No. The MIT study exclusively selected the data of 19 drivers in Boston and only selected AP disengagements "on free-flow highways (min speed when AP was active was above 30 mph) in daylight (cameras were not infrared) that are not safety critical (no system warnings and no sustained deceleration above 3 m/s )."

Its findings were that drivers paid more attention before engagement and after engagement than when AP was engaged.
Disagree with your second point. Just because there's an entire industry of people that profit from the erosion of privacy, doesn't mean any of them is less deserving of their share of vitriol; if anything, I'd say the amount of vitriol each one of them ought to experience (personally, in their day-to-day lives) should rise exponentially as a function of the amount of people doing the same.
Still probably would have helped with buying pandemic stocks after that secret briefing congress got where they said everything would be alright and then bought stocks in zoom and whatnot.
Hope you two are still friends after that...
I read a lot during late evening / night, and for me personally, the best device for that is an Android smartphone with an OLED screen. This last bit is crucial, because OLED blacks are "true" in a non-emissive sense, so if you set it up for white-on-black (or better yet, orange or some other warm color), and dial the brightness all the way down, it is easy on the eyes even in an otherwise very dark room.

Unfortunately, some reader apps won't let you dial the brightness down enough - Kindle, most notably. "Screen filter" apps help with that.
There doesn’t seem to be much evidence that members of congress outperform the market [0], let alone the sector that investments are made in. Aside from a few suspiciously timed trades (eg short sells just before the Pandemic), is there any strong evidence in favor of Congress outperforming the market?

A non-supportive spouse may simply not understand you; or they may be caught up in their own struggles; or they may not be the right spouse...
When you get some experience and seniority is usually isn’t too bad. All my jobs would extend vacation when I asked, even if some portion were unpaid.
It's not my area at all, but to my non-expert knowledge the differences between generics and class based inheritance can border on the semantics at times.

The high-level concept I always use to think about it is "coupling."

Highly coupled data structures, people applying the very complicated solutions from Gang of 4 where it isn't needed.

That's the core problem, and Go solves for the problem of "programmers misapplying highly-coupled data structures and doing bad things with Gang of 4 patterns" by explicitly removing that language feature.
> it's hard to expect any company with a profit incentive in this space doing much better.

That’s crap. Facebook could easily choose to prioritise the long term health of society over their advertising profits today. Everyone with a seat at the table (and all the engineers on down) live somewhere between comfortably wealthy to obnoxiously wealthy. Zuckerberg and all the engineers involved are making active choices, every day, to line their pockets instead of cleaning up their act.
I prefer all my cables with the same heads to be exactly the same. Why thought it was a good idea to make them different? As if someone buying the cable will know the difference.
What? Why would I try to remove a union contract minimum wage that applies to myself and coworkers, simply because one individual is slow or inefficient?

That makes no sense what so ever.
Another forever cat and mouse game where even if they were paid, it is still a losing battle and those spreading disinformation are going to win. So, what is the point of this?

Given how easy it is to spread such disinformation on the internet, you should assume that if there is no convincing evidence presented, it can be quickly dismissed.

Doing this is a huge waste of time. Don’t believe every, single, thing on the internet.

What a bizarre retort. It should also be fairly obvious that if you carry your laptop somewhere else you're not going to be able to reach it with the ethernet cable, either.
If I trade stocks with insider information I am criminal, if congress and the Fed does this, this is just normal behavior. Since nothing will change, I hope these TikTok kids make money with this strategy.

OK, thanks for clarifying. I misread some subtext in your comment and assumed you were judging illegal activity as not worthy of an internet service.
Ditto in Russia, e.g. https://www.litres.ru/. They know that if they don't do that, people will just pirate en masse - they had to compete with pirated books for convenience.
That's not a fair criticism. Government is not where you can move fast and break things. You must move carefully and fix things [1].

Just this weekend, Login.gov was made the primary identity provider for the Social Security Administration [2]. This is a big deal! They get 22 million visitors a month. The IRS was in a bind years ago because of identity fraud around refunds (disclosure: I interviewed with the team who is working to solve this), and ID.me appears to have been selected at the time to meet this need. Login.gov, to my knowledge, does not require liveness detection when submitting a state ID for proofing purposes (at least, it did not when I signed up for Social Security Administration access with my Login.gov account; only my state driver's license was required).

As of a year ago, Login.gov supported roughly ~90 agency websites/applications as an identity provider. As of a month ago, it's ~210. Despite the bureaucratic challenges, progress is being made, and considering that the CEO of ID.me wants to become a private corporation gatekeeper to digital identity services [3] [4], there's a lot of incentive to help government succeed based on the idea that this is infrastructure as a public good.

The question now is: when is IRS going to move to Login.gov as their identity provider and if they don't, why aren't they?

> Its target market appears to have been modified over the years, and ID.me’s founder and CEO described his aspirations for the company recently as similar to Visa Inc.’s electronic funds transfer business, but for personal identities.

> The CEO explained the business as a way to reduce friction in logins: “If we already know that you are you, or if we already have other credentials — like you’re a medical provider — here’s all the applications that accept ID.me for login. And you can just open up those applications without being challenged for your password or for identity verification because you’ve already done that. And when you do that, you can save people so much time and money.”

> ID.me hasn’t reached the same level of market saturation that Visa has in the United States, so many taxpayers who claim the child tax credit probably don’t already use the company’s services. In late March, ID.me said it had 39 million users, with more than 70,000 new users signing up each day.

Assessing the 7 best books on modern careers
The issue with drunk driving and texting is not that they can’t focus but can they when they have to. Unless someone’s slam dunk, they can. It’s the time to react when something happens that’s the problem.

With texting and driving there are other major daily hassles. A common scenario for me as I walk my dog is that I no longer assume a car will yield on a crosswalk - even the ones with a stop sign or a signal. May be the impact is that few people bike or walk? Or walk elsewhere like a trail or a park instead of sidewalk and neighborhoods? End of the day, it’s about what we want as a society. If we decide that people should be allowed to focus on their phone, we have to start redesigning the streets now.

Not just as a pedestrian, even as a driver I don’t assume I can go in green light anymore. People seem to miss red lights on the regular now
Ask HN: Where do you find new recipes?
Is that what the comparison is saying or that being on the phone is just as not in controll as one thinks the same as if someone was drunk and thinks they are just tipsy. I never read it saying it was a percentage of drivers doing that was the same. I'd definitely be willing to say that >75% of drivers are at some point in a drive unattentive because they are looking/operating a device.
I'm not a musician, but I've seen plenty of DJs setup their gear. It is clear that the connectors and cables are designed to be physically durable. They work in environments where even a beefed up USB cable would only last a few gigs, since building compact connectors for consumer grade electronics is at odds with the day to day reality of commercial applications.

I'm sure that other factors play a role. The economics of going digital would be terrible if it meant replacing a significant amount of equipment every time a new standard took over the market. Again, pointing to USB (since that it what everyone seems to associate with universal digital connections), we have seen three major iterations and a number of minor ones over the past 30 years. That's hardly the type of cycle that businesses want to hop onto given that a tiny operation requires thousands of dollars of equipment, where any given component may be anywhere from a couple of years old to over a decade old.
Bass Fishing – The Facts and More
I've been doing this with several production PostgreSQL instances.

PostgreSQL on ZFS is great.

I have zstd compression enabled and I average 3.50x compression ratios.

(Probably some pretty awful CPU tradeoffs in there, but system load and query times seem fine. My database is 50 GB before zstd compression, so enabling it helps a ton.)

I also have ZFS snapshots taken hourly and shipped offsite. It's awesome that I don't need to pause PostgreSQL or anything to take the snapshot. It's atomic and instant.
In every domain - food, vpns, literature, etc. - I have more or less sophisticated taste (as does everyone). When I was young, I was skeptical of and even sometimes mocked the 'so-called experts' - possibly because (naturally, due to time) I'd developed sophistication in so little. I was very wise.

But over time I found that when I develop sophistication in things, the 'so-called experts' suddenly become very smart and were invaluable (at least many of them). Now when I don't understand the expert, I see it as a signal: here is an opportunity to learn a lot, to make a big leap. (Of course, I'll never have time to become sophisticated in everything.)
Facebook was told about it several times and chose to do nothing. Their algorithm amplified hate speech.
