I'm not claiming I agree, but for me (a) gasoline went from $4 a gallon to $5 today (b) ground beef went from about $6 to $8 a pound last market trip.

I wouldn't be surprised if supply chain issues (e.g., with trucking companies) are partly responsible for the price rises.
I have been doing "self-tracking without tools" for about two years now. I described my approach in this essay last year:

https://www.gibney.org/a_syntax_for_self-tracking

I can not see me ever going back to not doing this. It is just too interesting to be able to look up and analyze all the data of what I did and how I felt.

Additionally, it improved my ability to notice and quantitatively express what I feel.

My expectation is that in the future, this type of self-tracking will become very common. Not only for the sake of curiosity. I expect that it will also turn out useful to do "randomized controlled trials of one" which will result in meaningful results for the individual on how their behaviour impacts their mood and health.
At least in Canada, renters get hit hard, but homeowners are actually bringing CPI down with lower mortgage rates.
With stronger magnets the part of the signal that contains the actual information decays faster in this case. At the same time the total magnetization, most of which is useless to you, decays slower. And you need to wait until it decays to measure again.

This explanation is extremely simplified, and the details here depend on the situation. Relaxation is a critical part of MRI and NMR, and there are different mechanisms that contribute to it.

The sensitivity of magnetic resonance methods increases with the magnetic field strength to the power of 3/2. But other effects like the mentioned relaxation cause certain practical issues at higher fields. So you don't always get the full benefit of the higher magnetic field, depending on what exactly you are doing.
Doesn't the same idea apply for normal IPs (non-mobile IPs)? Our computers also don't get their separate IPv4 address. We use NATs. So how can someone block our computer specifically without blocking dozens of innocent people using the same public IPv4 address?

Basically what's different about mobile and laptop IPs?
Yeah, there’s a central service that all Flight search is connected to, irregardless of airline. The airlines are charged per search to that api, so they monitor their ”look to book” rationvery closely. That ratio remains quite stable im the absence of bots, but skyrockets with any bot activity. Hence, they know from that metric how big of a bot problem they have and how much money they are losing. Major flight search software vendors have dedicated teams for this.
Indeed, as backend developers, it is hard to show something attractive.

If you really need a portfolio, I suggest:

* A classical project (CRUD for website, small cli, etc)
* A not so classic project (choice is up to you) with documentation about the architecture, a clear API (rest for website, man page for cli, interface for library, and so on...)

Each project should be well tests covered, should have good automation (github actions are free for public repositories for instance) and easily run locally.

Bonus point if you can use language/libraries/framework from your future employer in a way that is correct but different from their usage. (Hard to know before)
Many of the comments on this page indicate why endurance sports are popular: "I GREW UP PLAYING [hockey, basketball, taekwondo another contact/competitive sport]"

Once you get into your forties and fifties you can't compete or even play in many sports against people in their twenties due to fitness/energy and it may be hard to commit to a specific evening for a club night every week.

Running, Cycling, Swimming can be done at anytime, can get you outside, can be easy on ageing joints, and you can compete against/compare your performance against yourself (how much did I run last week?, how fast did I do my morning circuit compared with last month?). They are also pretty good aerobic exercises that let you live longer.
I worked with SVN briefly as it was out of fashion by the time I entered the workforce, but one thing I remembered about SVN was that there was a lack of standardisation between the clients.

I created the project using tortoiseSVN and any time a team member tried to add to it using a different client than tortoiseSVN it'd corrupt the entire repository!
No I had not, so thanks for the reference!

I just looked him up on Wikipedia and my first impression is he was a very original/independent thinker. :)

I came to that view unconsciously at first, before I recognized it explicitly. It never made sense to me to not care about my net impact carrying on after I die, since it is pretty clear I am going to die, and very soon relative to our home the universe.

Caring about the whole planet, and measuring my self-worth based on that, seems like the only sensible response. And it isn't in conflict with being self-interested at all, it really maximizes self-interest objectively speaking.

My impact will be all of me that survives but it will go on subtly for a very very long time! Go me, lol!

Ask HN: Complaint from Proton AG – what should I do?
Recently my domain register has received following abuse complaint. Honesty, I'm very shocked why they are even caring about 'groundless "facts"' and trying to take down such small amateur blog.

What do you guys think regarding this situation?

> non-executive management pay and non-executive non-management pay.

I'm curious why you make a distinction between managers and non-managers - (though I get where you're coming from: I agree that at most companies the only way to climb upwards is into management), but in some industries there are opportunities for horizontal-promotion and other non-management promotions (for example, being an engineering technical advisor who reports directly to the CEO while having no reports of their own and having a total-comp far north of a normal IC eng)

Oh, then there's also companies like law-firms where lawyer partners in the firm aren't necessarily managers nor executives either, so I'm not sure how that would be fairly reported to represent the state of the income distribution.

Okay let's see all your working that justifies your position.

You can't just spout "but growth curve" and act like you won the argument. What's the growth curve for vaccinated people?

I don't know of a reasonably priced store in America that provides a second human helper and in a few years you won't get one. Rfid is going to result in checking out mostly consist of confirming that you in fact want to pay for the items you've collected. Virtually everything you want a cashier to do is a papering over bad or broken process or user stupidity.

For example item's with marred tags or which don't have one by design and inaccurate pricing are fixable problems. Customers not being able to read on the other hand is not the stores problem.

You can. When a word like "Patriot" is in the name of a bill about security and intelligence, it screams "fascism inside!"

It was fascism wrapped in a big ol' American flag so any critics could be attacked as shitting on the graves of heroes and victims, with a side dish of "endangering America" and "not giving us the tools we need so you're to blame if it happens again."

The hijackers weren't caught was because Bush ignored six briefings about Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, and suspicious activity. Not because of lacking intelligence. Bush was outright told that terrorists were in-country, planning to use airplanes for an attack along with explosives. Bin Laden's aides told a reporter they were planning an attack. The CIA knew there was group in the country. Bin Laden was under pressure; he was largely seen as a failure militarily and was trying to remain relevant as attention shifted to Chechnya.

The intelligence community was so concerned they titled one of the last of the briefings "Bin Laden Determined To Strike in US" hoping that would get his attention. It didn't.

People think his "oh shit" face the morning of 9/11 was because of some horror at the scale of the attack or something. Nah. He realized he was in deep, deep shit because he'd been warned, repeatedly, about Bin Laden planning an attack.

Reportedly Bin Laden was shocked at the scale of American response, but I think he didn't realize that Bush was willing to do anything to stay in for a second term (and how many dollar signs Cheney saw.)

The fallout of the Patriot Act cannot be understated. One of many effects: dramatically reduced access to the US banking system for people who lack the right sort of identification, for whatever reason. Real ID bullshit is doing similar, making it much more difficult to secure government-issued ID, solving a problem that by and large doesn't exist.
> You are essentially saying "hey just let it happen no vaccination needed".

I neither stated nor implied this. Please don't lie about or distort what other people have posted.

This post is about a study which found most COVID hospitalizations are in people with four specific comorbidities that are major public health issues that are often pooh-poohed when raised.

> Get vaccinated, or stop complaining when us vaccinated want to deny you entry.

Thanks for your preaching. I don't know if you're making demands of me specifically or speaking generally, but as I mentioned, I traveled halfway around the world to get vaccinated.

The vaccines do not provide sterilizing immunity and the science is increasingly clear that the vaccines do not stop transmission to the extent everyone had hoped for. If you are in a high-risk group to begin with, you are still at higher risk of a bad outcome if you get a breakthrough infection.

Finally, once again, your "get vaccinated or else!" comment totally ignores the fact that authorities are trying to compel people who have natural immunity to get vaccinated, even when the science is already fairly clear that their immunity is robust, strong and lasting.

> Wear a mask, or also be denied access

Messaging has been a constant problem throughout the pandemic. A lot of people got vaccinated primarily because they were told vaccines offered the only and quickest path back to normalcy.

As it has become clear that the vaccines don't stop people from catching and transmitting SARS-CoV-2, inconsistent guidance around masking, and flip-flops on masking rules, have only caused people to lose trust in public health authorities.

It doesn't help that the people now telling everyone they need to mask up even when vaccinated are frequently caught breaking their own rules.

> The difference between obesity and a deadly virus is that the deadly virus is directly and immediately affecting me by your choices.

If you are in not in a high-risk group, your odds of dying from COVID are minimal. If you are vaccinated and not in a high-risk group, your odds of dying are miniscule.

Once again, the vaccines do not provide sterilizing immunity and do not prevent you from getting and transmitting the virus.

People with comorbidities frequently associated with poor lifestyle choices affect everyone as they make up the majority of the people being hospitalized. Overwhelmed hospitals have resulted in individuals being unable to access non-emergency healthcare and they are one of the primary reasons we're told we can't just "live with the virus" even in places where vaccination rates are high.

> I can pay higher health insurance premiums, but I don't want to die.

Huh? Under the ACA, individuals cannot be denied coverage or charged higher premiums for being obese, diabetic, etc. And once again, if you're not in a high-risk group, your odds of dying in a car accident are probably higher than your odds of dying from COVID.
> Getting anything out of a subshell that isn't from STDOUT is impossible.

Yes that is a known limitation that has horrible, horrible workarounds. Don't use them.

That said, for scripts whose main input _is_ from a file or STDIN, and also whose main output _is_ to a file or STDOUT, then bash is far more often the right tool for the job than it is given credit for. Of course, I'm talking about bash and a host of other utilities that are often packaged with it such as awk, grep, sed, cut, etc.

For processing text I find myself often choosing between bash and Python, and very often if I choose bash I'll feel that I've made the right choice.
While I see your points, your statements are - as you said yourself - a good example of negativity. Covid for me personally was not that hard on me. I got to spend more time with my wife and less with colleagues at work while working remote. My commute dropped to zero, I had much more free time at hands. I got to work out indoor and outdoor whenever possible. Dropped 60 pounds from March 2020, after entering the first lockdown. I even got tighter with my family during these times. And I could finally tackle some of the projects I had left for dead.

I cannot claim to be the epitome of positivity though. I have to work on my views of people in general. Anti-Vaxxers and climate change have left me with deep emotional cuts, consider it weltschmerz.

Are you by any chance driven by outside 'pings'? Extrovert people that rely on direct feedback from others really had/have a bad time. Maybe this realisation or thinking about it may help you understand why you are feeling this way. In the end, every negative situation e.g. a global pandemic, need some form of personal resilience. How to get there is unfortunatley on you to figure out.

Every country has a very different culture and it helps you understand that there is other way to live your life than the education that you get from your parent.

I'm French living in the Netherlands and I learned:

- a kid is a human being and should be respected as an adult. They don't need to be the parents subordinate

- you can disagree without being angry

- my English and Dutch. I can now see all video/ film (tedx / universiteit van vlanderen) without any translation

- Most of the time, you don't need any medicine when you are sick. Sleep, sport and a balanced diet is all you need.

- French have the best food on the planet.

- when hosting, Dutch care more about the atmosphere than the food

- you can learn a language by watching the television (in France, the content is only in French)

My best advise about scaling, I once read (might have been right here on HN) is many devs know their primary bottleneck. Be it the "master-db", 3rd-party-api, login-service etc. But few devs knows the "2nd slowest/bottleneck" in their service stack. Not saying this was the case here, but always good to think (at least has a mental exercise) about what comes after your primary-bottleneck.

If it's a long standing bottleneck, one day it gets fixed (sw update, better arch) and suddenly everything goes down since now you hitting a new bottleneck you never even thought about scaling.
