I am currently rebuilding my body after few years of eating paints and building materials and whatnot that's in the walls of old construction before renovation. What prompted me was getting food poisoning this winter, four times in the space of three months. I did not recover. Like at all.

Using keto and intermittent fasting techniques I've successfully ping-ponged my weight between 72 and 62kg (that's the _normal_ BMI range for my height) precisely 15 times starting late May.

First three times did not feel great. Felt like getting poisoned again, but mildly, no vomiting all night for three days straight and all that jazz.

I am currently on the way to 53kg, so that I get rid of all that muscle mass acquired in menial jobs and rebuild to something flexible.

In that time my eyesight improved from -2.25 to -1.75

I exist, am real, and did really do all that.

Ask me anything.

>I can't comprehend why this isn't widely used.

Maintaining the DHT connection is "expensive", expensive meaning a few packets a minute. That means mobile clients can't enter sleep and stay connected, (without corp backed push notification services. Which we can't use/trust) So it'll kill expected battery life on mobile. Add to that, multidevice isn't supported, (I implemented the feature, but it didn't get merged before my will to work was killed by trolls) and Tox can be a bit frustrating to use. :(
So how is that distinct from text?

It's the role of the government to curtail murder, but that doesn't resolve me of personal responsibility.
Firstly, it is sad to say that HN is becoming more negative like the rest of the internet. On the front page there are more articles devoted to the ever-evolving shit-show of American-focused news issues. There are far less links to things that I THINK HN is more suited for: like BGP protocol or building your own ham radio.

That aside, my theory about whistleblowing is that it is a counter-intuitive exercise that results in very little at the expense of orgs tightening their security policies. Case in point: Snowden and the NSA

Leaks don't seem to happen after the first one. One or two small bills to "change a law" doesn't fix an endemic problem.

Facebook will continue after this blip. They have enough money to spin the PR in their favor and to grease the hands of their political-dependents there in Washington.
In the abstract, it's sort of like asking "How can there still be traffic jams on road XYZ, when there's an open lane that was added recently?" The problem isn't the number of lanes, it's that fundamentally that mode of traffic (mass individiual transit) has capacity limitations, which when exceeded cause it to go into a "bad" state, after which recovery is difficult and arduous. Furthermore, just because you stop letting cars on the specific road doesn't mean the jam resolves instantly; you actually have to significantly reduce pressure over time before that can happen. And that jam causes cars to overflow into other roads, causing other problems. Just removing the "trigger" (too many oncoming cars) that caused the problem is not enough to recover from either the initial problems, or the side effects.

People here are using all kinds of networking/hardware analogies and while generally I'm loathe to use those (they often reek of "All I have is a hammer"-syndrome), you do see these problems a lot in such designs. A good example is when something like a database goes down due to having too much load. Recovering from this failure often isn't just a matter of going from "too much load" to "enough load to handle", you actually have to shed significantly more load than that to recover the system, because that initial failure might cause a cascade of failures that prevents that. This often manifests as a kind of ritual where a system admin pulls a big number of levers in the engine room all labeled "Do Not Touch" in just the right order to shed load and reboot things correctly. Real world supply chains are doing the same thing, but their actions are priced in and done months in advance. Logistics is a hell of a thing.

I realize this is not a concrete answer about electronic supply chains (someone else can handle that) but rather a more abstract classification, but I think the general idea applies here.

Facebook Whistleblower Frances Haugen Testifies Before Senate Commerce Committee
> Free speech on the internet worked fine before companies developed algorithms to feed you content that made them the most $$.

Free speech on the internet worked fine back before everyone was on the internet - I don't think it's easy to tell if the shift was solely due to companies coming along with echo chamber algorithms or if it's an issue with most people not being able to handle being anonymous by default. I'm not trying to say it's definitely one way or the other (or some other way I can't recognize) - but I think we've got a very murky study with a lot of confounding variables.
It was relaunched 5 months ago, and if you go on WayBack Machine, it seems it hasn't changed at all, except perhaps to add a Captcha.

I think they probably plan to do more with it, and thus there's a name conflict for hurl.dev.

I don’t know if it’s related but the weather app on iOS frequently takes minutes to update the weather for my location even when looking directly at the app. It’s incredibly annoying and has led me to believe the weather was going to be completely different more than once.
>Do one better, get their contact info and then sue. They are all breaking some law, so once you have their info it is easy to win in court.

Since most scam/spam calls have spoofed caller iD, how do you obtain such contact information?

Do tell. I have time on my hands, so I'd love to take this route.
Yeah, this is a big problem as well. There used to be an iOS client, but it's developer moved on to other projects. So it's woefully unmaintained at this point.
FYI, your about/jobs/policy page is broken.
I prefer the decentralized messaging protocols that are incentivized by tokens. eg. Status / VacP2P (ethereum), Session (oxen), Sylo, etc.

I know that a lot of people have opposite preference, but nothing is free, and tokens allow projects to create their own value, which I think is a very cool innovation.

Afterall, it seems lack of funding is a main issue with Tox (can’t afford audit etc). So how else do you avoid being beholden to investors while also having resources?

I did explicitly call out that both commits and PRs have a different target audience (i.e. contributors) than release notes, because that is the root of the problem in my view.

PS. I do appreciate the effort btw! Better release notes in general is definitely something to strive for, and I hope you'll keep a tight pulse on how this affects what release notes on average look like and whether they get better, and of course how they can get even better :)
> I can't agree. Like most rants, I found it to be very needlessly emotional, lacking in the technical department, and motivating towards the wrong goal

It's titled as a rant, in a file called RANTS.md, and unless you've gone out of the way to read it, the rest of the immediately available documentation looks to be perfectly professional and courteous. I'm not sure what you are expecting?

I dislike when this sort of stuff is front-and-center on a project but it seems perfectly reasonable to accept that a developer might have opinions and feelings that caused them to "scratch an itch". People who aren't annoyed with existing systems don't in general try to replace or work around them, and there's certainly a load of projects I've found with disagreeable approaches to contributions or governance that I would rather not put my own time into. I imagine they feel the same, and appreciate that they documented that frustration.
And paid handsomely for the trouble.

It should somehow be able to reset or configure brain's chemical state.

There's 2 addictions, physical and psychological. Psychological, could yes still happen of course even if you restored the balance of dopamine and other relevant chemicals, but in theory you could at least get rid of withdrawals if you were able to manipulate those chemicals. We don't have a way to do that, and may be we won't have, and maybe we'll invent something completely different first that would make something like this or drugs completely obsolete. But just in theory.
I absolutely love Diptrace. It has a free version with all libraries included. Over the years though I have progressively upgraded it to the "standard" level (which allows 6 layers and 1000 nodes) when they have sales. My own microcontroller designs with GPS and bluetooth, OLED displays, serial ports etc. have not passed 500 nodes.
Presumably this is because the government pumped money into the stock market, and rich people hold more stocks. If the government just let the stock market crash, would people be more upset than the current situation where the rich got richer?
No, because it's not a trend. It's objectively true that social media exploits human nature in harmful ways in pursuit of profit. See e.g. "The scientists who make apps addictive" https://web.archive.org/web/20210416052902/https://www.econo...
You may not respect the writer, but what he is saying is demonstrably correct. The takeover of the Democratic party is not so well known (it happened fifty years ago), but there is a contemporary account [0]:

The election of 1972 has demonstrated that the “democratization” of the Democratic party under the guidance of such notions has only served to make it less representative of the interests and wishes of the majority of Americans than it has ever been before. For a majority party in the United States—especially if it is, as the Democrats have traditionally been, a party of change—faces a particular difficulty: that of drawing together a variety of potentially hostile racial, economic, cultural, and regional elements into a more or less united front against the vast power of corporate conservatism. In many respects the requirements of a coalition party, which must serve as a mechanism for brokerage among various interests, run counter to the plebiscitarian and individualistic currents that have long nourished both liberalism and radicalism in this country. The ethos of the New Politics in particular is hostile to the very idea of such a party. It has raised the social experience of its own affluent, educated constituency to what is, if not a world view, then at least a powerful conviction about the future of American politics. In this view, most of the “old” social problems which produced a politics of bread-and-butter self-interest are solved by the new affluence, or are well on their way to solution. The old interest groups—save perhaps for the blacks—are therefore superfluous. New forces are arising, not out of earthly needs, but out of the desires of those who have transcended such needs and are motivated only by the wish to do good.

But of course these new forces themselves constitute an interest group which differs from the “old” interest groups chiefly in its refusal to acknowledge the degree to which it hungers for political power and patronage. Unless steps can now be taken to restore the disaffected and disenfranchised elements of the Democratic party to influence, the party will remain in the control of this new interest group, and the Democrats will become the voice of an affluent minority speaking for and responsive to no one but itself.

I don't really understand why they stiffed him (the only thing I can think of is that he's the core maintainer of Sonarr which might make him legally radioactive, but you should tell him), but what I don't understand is why they even called him in the first place. There's about a billion package managers for desktop operating systems and programming languages (shoot, Microsoft runs five or six), and the ups and downs are known by anyone who's used one for more than an hour (shoot, look at the winget issue tracker, there's still active tickets that were filed in the first week). There's no reason to play the wine and dine game, there's no secret sauce anyone really needs to know.
Wow how did you find all these? Have you been keeping track all these years, or did you somehow search for and find this just now?
I wasn't discussing Biden, I'm sure he's said plenty of racist stuff (although the second one was clear a slip of the tongue).

"Only black people could live like that" when describing Chicago does not seem like a slip of the tongue, and seems more blatantly racist than either of the two things you've mentioned.

“He once asked me if I could name a country run by a black person that wasn’t a ‘shithole'", etc. etc.
Oh wow! I hope firefox eventually provides support for this.
Because at the time it was the top comment making speculative claims and taking quotes WILDLY out of context. Accusing the author of trumping up an issue when the OP is quoting the rebuttal from the company is not just misleading but harmful misinformation and should be rightfully called out

What are the potential legal ramifications for the whistleblower?
Yes; another way of looking at it is that the US government represents the "dictatorship of Capital". Its job is to represent the interests of the capitalist class as a whole. This includes managing conflicts between individuals, firms, or industries that might otherwise threaten the stability of the system, even if they have to step on particular individuals, firms, or even industries in order to do so. That's how we got the New Deal; even though many big capitalist opposed it, their representatives as a whole saw it as necessary to prevent a Communist revolution, and therefore worth the cost.
> EDIT: And now the OP has edited their post but still stands by their claim that this is a nothingburger, without evidence this time

There was more to my post than the one-line quote that I removed. I also acknowledged the error and thank a commenter for pointing it out below.
Slightly OT, but it always slightly bugs me that sorting algorithms are taught *only* in the context of computers, which obey different physics to sorting things. Has anyone done work on sorting algorithms under different cost functions than just "minimise comparisons"? I'm thinking something like:

1. Allocation of new space is free, at least up to 2x the input size.
2. Moving a contiguous set of elements is as cheap as moving one element.
3. Moving an element, or set of elements, has a cost proportional to the distance moved.
> in theory everything you are outlining here is possible

I think part of the problem is also that in theory, it's already possible to write a good changelog as well — but of course, what's relevant is what happens in practice :)
Ah, exactly the trap I see so many people fall for! You would not lose your connection with a lot of people because of Facebook, you would lose your connection with a lot of people because of the combined decisions of you and those people! Facebook isn't doing anything here other than being convenient -- it's your friends and family making the choice (along with you) to refuse to communicate with people outside of the FB platform.

And no, WhatsApp is not the "only contact method for most people and businesses", at least not due to any kind of technical or governmental restriction. It may be the only functional way to run a business or talk to people in some places, but Facebook didn't do that, those people and businesses did. They can choose to fix that within the course of a few minutes. They won't make that choice, but they absolutely could.

And so what if Facebook recommends specific events to people? Those people still retain agency over their choices, Facebook isn't making anyone do anything, people still decide how to behave, which events to attend, and generally how to navigate their time.

There's a great point in what you said, that I think is worth highlighting; at the root of the complaints about social media is this fundamental rejection of the idea that people are capable or willing to act on their own accord. It's this assumption that people wouldn't make these choices were it not for Facebook's influence, and I think that's completely wrong.

You can rid yourself of Facebook's influence over your life in a matter of minutes. You choose not to, and that's on you, not Facebook. It's a social media company, nothing more.

> This is a misunderstanding of what open source means. I has zero to do with community. You may think that, but that doesn't make it true.

You would have a point, but this isn't about open source in general. This is about the .Net Foundation, which has the goal "to improve open-source software development and collaboration around the .NET Framework" and it hardly improves collaboration when the parent organization openly acts like a parasitic ass. Of course since this is Microsoft we are talking about a strongly worded letter wouldn't have achieved anything of note either.
I was like this up until I got my first Apple Watch.

Maybe because it’s that I’m white and speak english, but it’s dictation is unbelievable and I can even send Facebook messages or texts an average 9/10 times without needing to modify it.

I’ve never - for instance - had an issue where I’ve said ‘set a timer for 5min’ and it’s never worked.

I think everyone’s mileage varies.
Here comes the gaslighting.

This is probably the #1 reason why I was so careful about avoiding the virus back when there was a lot of voices yelling "just catch the virus, you won't die". I knew the people who didn't die but just got lingering afflictions would be treated like gulf war syndrome vets.
If everything that Facebook does to maximize profits is legal, but some of it is horrible, then we should write new laws to make the horrible stuff illegal. If Facebook does things that are bad for the world then policymakers should try to make it stop.

> One, houses are built out of the most abundant/cheap materials. In some places this is literally concrete. In North America it is lumber.

Material doesn’t necessarily dictate whether something is cheap or flimsy. Lumber is the cheapest material in lots of places. A wooden frame house built by 2x4” timber with plywood + timber cladding outside and simple drywall inside is cheap and flimsy. A wooden frame wall with 10” timber is neither cheap or flimsy.

How long something lasts is also a matter of construction standards and attention to detail e.g whether the plastic moisture barriers are perfectly sealed preventing condensation in the construction, or if it’s allowed to be punctured e.g by electrical wiring.

I wonder how much commodities speculation are screwing up the availability...
I changed a few very simple Lambda routines running Node.js v14 from "x86_64" to "arm64". Not complicated modules that run relatively quickly doing some very basic calculations. I was seeing double the running time. One routine that was reporting a billed duration of 2049 ms with "x86_64" reported 4243 ms with "arm64". Switched it back to "x86_64" and the runtime halved as expected.

So at least with Node.js, I see no benefit with the arm64 architecture. YMMV.
