Can you take this culture war garbage back to Gab or whatever? We don't need more pointless division (and this goes for both sides).
15 years ago I was posting on Slashdot as Anonymous Coward.
Because of that I had moved away a few years ago but a friend pointed to me that it is still worthwhile to scan 3 pages of links for the one relevant actual tech bit.

Maybe I should check out slashdot again...
Declaring your intentions while sharpening your weapons is never peaceful. It's already an act of aggression.

And I thought the current ROC line (at least, the leading party's line) has no interest in "One China".
Seems a bit far-fetched that the guy creating Bitcoin was also building up a global criminal empire. I’m sure Paul is a very talented guy, but there are only so many hours in a day. The article’s author even admits it’s a stretch by the end of the article.
You entirely missed the point.

From the original comment, it's likely an IT department, meaning a large org, meaning slow changing policies in place about how the machines are setup, often in order to meet even slower changed compliance laws.

Your seven different "vendors" solution to bodge domains/outlook wouldn't be supported by IT, which is a problem when then machine breaks or an audit happens...
A cursory glance at the Wikipedia article seems to suggest that it does what it says on the tin: makes you more resistant to inflammation caused by certain stressful external conditions (e.g. extreme cold). So it "works" in that sense. However:

> Critics of Hof say he overstates the benefits of his method. On his website he says that it has reduced symptoms of several diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. However, these claims have not been demonstrated scientifically. Wouter van Marken Lichtenbelt, one of the scientists who studied Hof, stated that "[Hof's] scientific vocabulary is galimatias. With conviction, he mixes in a non-sensical way scientific terms as irrefutable evidence."

So I would assume the OP criticism of WHM is not about its use for specific scientifically studied and documented purposes, but for the claim that it can aid in the treatment of a vast array of other medical conditions.

Interesting discussion on the SBM blog: https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/wim-hof-the-iceman/
Herd immunity occurs naturally once 90% of the population gets infected with COVID. Do the math on how many deaths, Yeats of life lost, and increased medical costs that carries with he saturation of the medical system.

Not true, I compile large C++ projects on WSL2 and Linux, and I don't notice a significant difference between them.
This looks quite useful for scheduling promotions e.g. a video stream going live.
Though that'd quickly end with certain accounts being just announcing bots, which isn't the point of social media
You've said a lot of things there. Could you sum up what you were arguing for?
Actually Slashdot's articles are more relevant to my interests now!
You want both of these to be false.

I am waiting for two things; Better DE UX and graphics card sharing for VMs in consumer cards before I move full time to Linux.

Gnome 41 looks compelling and by the time consumer cards can be shared with VMs (for gaming, VR and that sort of thing), it might be as good as MacOS's desktop environment.

I can't wait to ditch Windows full time. It's such a confused mess of an OS.
Right? Like I’m a seriously mediocre programmer in terms of output and code quality. I work with a person who churns out 5x more features with code quality that is unassailable. Either I am a 0.2Xer or my colleague is a 5Xer, either way, there is a huge delta between our skill even though they are younger than me and we started programming at a similar age. I think 10Xer is probably hyperbole in most cases but the overall idea is legit.
Your source is comparing reinfection risk. Reinfection risk is very low [0]. It can't drive a pandemic.

And, fairly critically, it is crazy to start isolating people from social life over that low reinfection risk. You've been exposed to people who are unvaccinated for all sort of dangerous diseases through your life and nobody has tried to lock them out of society for that.

EDIT I suppose I'll throw in here this isn't about whether vaccination is good or not. Anyone who hasn't made up their mind at this point isn't persuaded by evidence. This is about how to treat people who make choices that the government disagrees with. Locking them off aeroplanes isn't the way.

Curiously, your eyes cannot actually focus blue light, and your vision acuity does not depend on focusing blue light.

This was noted when defining broadcast TV standards, and the blue component of the signal has always been radically reduced -- not in intensity, just detail, because it makes absolutely no difference. The bandwidth stolen from green was given to white and green, where it is useful.
The environment has a limited capacity to sustain human life.

Temporarily taking more from the environment than is sustainsble brings temporary human happiness, followed by great human suffering when the environment we rely on collapses.

Civilizations throughout history have collapsed for this reason. Our civilization is not so powerful as to be immune.
> It's hard to imagine how one would be able to work on such a project, without any background that could be tracked.

You have to remember how obscure it was initially, and it's not like it involved terrorism or obviously a thread to national security.
I wish people stopped the over-reliance on antibody studies. I get it, it's fun to play with cool technology and great to get papers published. OTOH, antibodies are just a part of the immune system, decay exponentially post infection / vaccination and there is no golden formula to correlate antibody levels with infection risk.
Seriously: I'd like to be able to buy a tiny printer, optimized for low cost of operations. I couldn't find anything close to that.
Honestly I have been disappointed beyond the capacity for outrage with Firefox. Do you know of any positive cases of a distribution that disables this?

Edit: just to add to this, my understanding is that Mozilla uses (abuses?) their trademark on Firefox to keep the distributions in line. If you distribute a version of Firefox that's been patched to remove anti-features, you can't call it Firefox.

On the completely different topic, I do not know why people asking why is there so much mistrust in authorities (politics, media, science)...

All retina monitors have had impeccable text sharpness since 2012. However, for desktop monitor sizes anything less than 5k isn't acceptable.
Yeah, what they did not expect is the US blocking all exports. All vaccines had to be flown in from Europe, even so the same vaccine was produced just a few miles across the border.
OLED screen don't seem to be happening for Computer monitors. Probably burn in issues. Dell introduced and quickly discontinued one model. Plus e-ink has no backlight whatsoever, yes OLED on a terminal screen can probably come close but i'm not so sure it is the same. e-ink is just in a class of its own. Was hoping Qualcomm Mirasol went somewhere or maybe Pixel Qi but alas nope. Still holding out hope for ClearInk. It might be the display that kills e-ink and becomes the magical display that everyone gets.

This will never get any traction except for startup hype. The economics just don't work and the end user sees nothing changed since frontend stays the same?

How complicated and expensive can you get. Engineering is about solving problems with the right tools and with the least amount of maintenance.

This is inventing a whole lot of stack for what? Your pipedream of "decentralised" internet. They fork Ethereum chain continueslly for their own gain, aka it's managed centrally!

There are definitely programmers whose output/delivery is 10x higher than some other programmers. Whether they are 10x and 1x or 1x and 1/10th programmers respectively can be debated, but I feel the former is a more positive way to look at it :)
on the top of the linked article, there is a video embedded that contains some snippets.
I do the same, although my “physical newspaper” is my RSS Reader. I look forward every morning spending 60-90 minutes reading the articles that interest me, while drinking coffee.
This is really great! The only thing that is concerning is that half the links are dead. It is expected, yet I can see historians having a much harder time with the digital age than with physical records.
There is no such thing. Russia and China have state mathematical capabilities just as good as the US has.

As a result I am sensitive for light, sounds, things in my viewport.
The blue light filter is always active on my phone and in evenings also on my computer screens. It definitely helps me in feeling tired and sleepy earlier in comparison with working without the filter.

I am not familiar with research about this subject. It is possible that blue light is not the reason but maybe the combination of the amber/red glow with a dimmed brightness. However, the blue light filter works very well for me.
The same arguments were made against EV, but the infrastructure was built out nonetheless and now it's quite feasible to do cross-country trips. We know that carbon-based combustion isn't an option moving forward, I for one think it's valuable for both the risks and benefits of these emergent substitute technologies to be socialized.

Could you imagine trying to tell someone before the internet that we would run cables across the ocean to digitally connect separate continents? There's a reason the internet started as gov-funded research, and it's precisely because "market forces" are triangulating on the most profitable solution, not necessarily the most efficient one
Youre right, that’s embarrassing lol. Fixed.
Can anyone think of a way to reduce the number of operators further? Less == and OR operations done after the convolution?
In that last sense are you referring to young people?
We've done lots of federations over the years, and the internet was absolutely built with some degree of decentralization/federation in mind.

The radical change here is that now anyone with some pocket change in crypto can deploy a decentralized application. We don't know how that's going to be used yet, it's still so early, but it's certainly exciting.

Web3 is a terrible name (as everyone else has already pointed out), but the magic that shouldn't get lost here is that a new decentralized internet is being born.
Yet? Why are you people so trusting when you know that these sorts of apps are one library and one function call away from mass surveillance mandated by some misleadingly titled bill? Surely Canada has a spiritual equivalent to the Patriot Act, no?
There is a story that the "Radio Tower" at BT Labs was built as a waveguide - this is on the A1214. Given that the office accomodation in it is so weirdly laid out I can believe that this might be so.
Here's something to consider. The cells that affect sleep are in such direction that the light coming from overhead has highest effect on it. Oh. And about using phones or computers close to night time, its not necessarily about the light. If you have too much mental or emotional stimulation near sleep time that would definitely harm your ability to sleep. And by mental stimulation, it definitely includes games where being few milliseconds slower means dying in the game.

I know quite a few languages, frameworks, what have you and if you can't see the benefits of not adding another damn thing for people to learn on to the pile, then I have no idea how you've missed a lesson that up to this point, it seemed every engineer I'd met has learned.

Not having to specify the mapping between business objects and a SQL database is massive value on it's own. Having not only the ability to avoid doing that, but upon making changes to your objects, being able to migrate the database easily is frankly amazing.

Do you really want to watch a seal swimming for several hours? The video on top of the page contains some snippets.
Being powers of 2 is more efficient because computer memory/buses/caches are aligned to those sizes. It does not necessarily imply that they are less secure than with fields of non-power-of-2 sizes. There might even be a security benefit to having these canonical sizes because it simplifies implementation and makes it easier to perform constant-time operations across different hardware. If you consider that some hardware has additional costs to reading non-aligned memory, you open up the possibility for timing-attacks and other implementation bugs brought about by additional complexity. Sometimes simple is better.
I too find blue light more pleasant than red, and night shift filters make me irrationally angry because of the loss of color accuracy.
I thought MVP came from Lean Startup (2008), but it’s rule 1 from Paul Graham and StartupSchool (2006):

We make new discoveries as time progresses. One experiment is set up and it’s results interpreted differently than another.

Now I don’t mind this and choose to believe the most recent credible findings. But I do understand when people see this as flip-flopping or maybe even contradicting.

I don’t like to admit it, but I also understand why that doesn’t particularly bolster trust.
> cd into a git repo on your Windows side: cd /mnt/c/repos/example_git and expect a minimum of a 1 minute wait for simple repos.

Yes that will be slow, don’t use /mnt, anything under that directly will crawl. Use /home or somewhere else and save your work there. In VSCode you can access any dir and now there’s gui support so there’s no excuse to be using /mnt now. I believe some docs on WSL do tell you this

> The WSL IP Address changes on every restart.... ALWAYS. So trying to setup a local web server for testing becomes a hassle.

That’s weird, I’ve never had any issues relating to running a web server. Listening on a port in WSL automatically exposes it on Windows. I’ve not had to configure anything when restarting etc.
The auth thing is great! But from the end user and the developer perspective there’s no difference between an oauth provider and a wallet. You still have to set it up on the machine and “login”, same for the app developer
No, I mean removed so that everybody has to pay it. I'm just hoping they won't get to pull similar shenanigans this time since this is a global agreement.

The idea that there are organised "gatekeepers" holding down humanity is nothing but a thinly veiled layer over "the zionists who control everything".

> When other countries historically have ‘solved’ this problem, it ends up being pretty terrible for the minority groups

It's pretty terrible in Lebanon now as well, and there was a horrible civil war between 1975 - 1990 which could happen again. I'm just saying - yes change could be for the worse, but it's not like things are peachy now.
A split up has advantages even if people need to relocate. Cyprus is a pretty good example on how it could work out. Also as horrible as the clusterf** of Bosnia was, it seems the more separated the different ethnicities are the better.
I'm grateful to the author for putting all that work into creating so many visualizations and diagrams to help me understand it. But sadly I still don't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There are some half-truths in there, but otherwise what you're saying is misleading.

For example, there is a (quite small) trial of facial recognition for home quarantine of international travelers. Now that's a topic worthy of discussion - But it's an extraordinary leap to say everyone is taking pictures of themselves (i.e that's just not true at all).

It's similar for most of your assertions.

There have been quite a number of strict rules in different parts of Australia at different times. Most are now being wound back in line with vaccination rates.

It’s the first real 3D platformer. It aged absolutely wonderfully. The controls, although less good than more recent 3D mario are better and more precise than most nowadays games.

This game is an absolute masterpiece crafted with a lot of love more than two decades ago and this love can still be felt today.

It’s really difficult to explain but, Mario 64 was the first but was also « perfect » as an artwork. There have since been a lot of better games in almost all criteria but never as a whole.

I’m glad it’s now « open source » because I feel like it’s a really nice way to preserve it from the passing time.

If you haven’t played it recently, just try it if you don’t believe me. It’ll feel like an old game for maybe 5 minutes. Then, chances are that you’ll be hooked until the final credits. But play a « modern » version of it, so either the upscale Switch version or the PC port.
It’s easy to determine a “good decision” retroactively.

On what basis would one assume that the Soviets would not initiate an attack as soon as they could? In an extreme, but very much possible at the time view of the world, it was a either-or question which power remains - in that context it very much makes sense to preemptively strike them, even if that is a hard and brutal decision.
Errrrr ok

We've used Skype, GoToMeeting, Slack... and finally Zoom, and Zoom was the best quality video conferencing by far.

No echo, no sound+video synch issues, rarely any "breaking up"... they must've implemented some very nice tricks to make all these work even when we have meetings with people sitting in from several different countries.

Despite their security issues, it's not surprising they came to dominate the market: it was the only product that really worked.

It's flagged because it's a random dude from Twitter's dubious interpretation of a graph.

Interpreting raw data isn't something you can do to draw conclusions if you're not a domain expert. From the replies below the tweet, what's being claimed and what the data says isn't certain. Moreover, I'm not hearing from domain experts being concerned about this in the least.

So, no, it's just that showing a random graph and drawing your favourite conclusions just isn't something worth posting.

On a whim I changed the date to something else: 2008-08-08. One of the submissions on top was "Ask PG: What are your thoughts on current YC News community?"

You'd think the comments were made last year, not in 2008:

> I discovered HN in spring and Reddit to and I have found the quality of HN going down in the last month

> Personally I find nearly all the mass-media submissions to be a dilution, no matter how techie or startup they sound.

Although I relate the most to the PG's comment:

> There are always a few highly ranked stories that make me think "how could anyone vote that up?" but on average they're pretty interesting. There's no other site I prefer.

I'm curious about this one too:

> If you must have a resume or portfolio, you should most definitely add your HN username and link to it.

Did anyone do it?

Azure SQL-Server is extremely expensive.

It might be cheap unless you actually want to use it for something heavy. Azure is really good at making itself look cheap by assuming that no one ever really needs to use its pricier performance options. It's cheap for CRUD, but once you want to crunch some numbers, like process financial statements for one month, you either wait a week to finish or pay a fortune.

We looked into replacing one (1)local SQL-Server that is able to crunch our monthly statements in a few hours. It would have cost us around USD $15,000 on Azure per pop.

The local machine cost $30,000 to buy + about $1000 in service plans / month, and will be used 2-5 years. And it would run other stuff for the rest of the month, at no extra cost.
