I know of a hospital still running a Meditech MAGIC system for historical data purposes. The system is a collection of IBM servers, all running Windows Server 2000.

Meditech, however, uses its own network stack on the OS, replacing all Windows networking components with a Meditech MAGIC driver, and Meditech's own software then controls TCP/IP inside its emulation that runs on top of 2000 in usermode. It's amazing how well put together the stack is that this could be (fairly easily) migrated up to a Server 2012-era box* and still work the exact same way.

*(that I know of - I assume they have newer support by now)
> To see results and get the convenience of you.com, you’ll need to add the you.com Chrome extension.

Close tab.

This is a terrible first time user experience. I know that it is possible to show search results without a chrome extension. Show me some results, and then maybe you will be able to convince me to add an extension for some bells and whistles.
I can see it both ways. From what I've learned, Google does open results in a new tab by default in some countries, and they recently added the option to choose the new tab behavior. Adding that as an option could be a way to solve it.
at first the result disappointed me (emotionally, not technically), but after a few minutes I went back to it and was struck by the feel the image brought out. It really reflected some of the wistfulness and sadness I feel with a tiny touch of optimism. I'm not well-versed in anime, but that does seem to be a little bit of the feel that I get from it. bravo.
I'm using Firefox and don't get that message. Obviously if you do get it on Chrome, that's a bad user experience and needs to be changed.
...Excuse me? Is there a way that could be better rephrased?

What was the option for what? You're replying to a post about discriminating against a divorcee, but having the landlord hide it behind the justification of "bad credit".

Not to be the missing antecedent police, but are you referring to by 'ther option' the pre-existing excuse to paper over arbitrary discrimination, or to practice of lending/renting in general?

The answer is sadly important to the final assessment of meaning. I don't think you mean the former, but I figured I'd be daft and ask.
I did read the article and also read the proposal and FAQ that was posted in a sibling comment, not sure why you thought I did not. Of course I've not looked at prepared textbooks since I don't think those are available yet.

But still, I fundamentally believe that we're solving the wrong problem by playing with curriculum that affects every kid in such a way, especially when it won't be evident till several years later how it impacted different kids. We should rather be thinking about how to help the kids who are lagging behind rather than change the curriculum for everyone. Not everyone will benefit with de-mathematized math. For some kids, direct teaching of concepts works better.

For example, there are English learners. The way I understand, the English learners are helped in English but they are still expected to continue with other courses in parallel. Why not take a few years with them to just focus on English to get them up to a certain level, at which point they can continue with the rest of the classwork. Perhaps have Charter schools just for that, which can become feeder schools to other schools. Yes, there would be disparity in having kids of different ages in the same class level, but that is an easier problem to solve.

NOTE: that is just one idea, and not sure if it will work. I'm not a trained educator, but I am a proponent of out of the box thinking. Changing curriculum which affects everyone is not the right approach IMHO. I still feel that changes should be made that benefit only those who need help. Across the board changes can be dangerous.

Yes inflation does mean exactly that, but maybe OP meant interest rates (which I believe have been trending up of late).
That's the point though - in lieu of some outstanding success and track record that makes you an extreme outlier, a degree is pretty much required.
"Living wage" is essentially complete bollocks. It has no well defined meaning, that is to say - it has no meaning with anything approaching large scale agreement.

A living wage to a migrant might have been one that allows them a bed in an 8-bunk dorm, a bus ticket, and thirty quid a week for food.

A living wage to most of HN is probably enough to get a mortgage.

To me the concept is essentially nonsensical - if you're in the proletarian class then you're not living at all.

I hope You.com is successful, as there needs to be more players in this space, but I hope to see more details instead of spamming "privacy".

Pro tip 1: Don't just rent Bing's API like DDG, you'll end up with censored results. Also, Bing results suck, so your service will suck.

Pro tip 2: Most people will have to type "you." to get their browser autocomplete to work as youtube will be the first result. You're competing with a very popular prefix, I suggest a name change, but it seems this service was made for the domain name.

Pro tip 3: Noone is going to install your extension that cares about privacy. Noone will trust that the CEO of Salesforce doesn't want to collect data.

My assumption would be that the laser would move into the past at the same speed that we move into the future, so that might be the issue.

If that were the case, each moment of the future would be further changed by the, (I don't know if this is the correct term but it seems appropriate) "temporally equidistant" moment in the past.

If that were the case, eventually the recording of the laser dot would not show a laser dot at all as the laser dot would have been fired before the video was recorded.

In the case of your magical superluminal laser, from your perspective what would happen is that it would show up and then appear to retreat at light speed back to its source 20 years later, right? But that's magic. If a laser actually traveled backwards in time then it would continue to do so until it ceased traveling backwards in time, so each moment forward would be a moment where the past was changed a little bit more by the equal backwards movement in time.

Show HN: You.com, private search engine that summarizes the web – built for devs - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29165601 - Nov 2021 (115 comments)
Congratulations on the launch! I think am getting better results than on any other engine I've tried using experimentally. Nice and sneaky job ad too in the console.

As for some downsides I felt that:

1. The page is too heavy for my everyday use. On my phone initial load is 10 seconds, searches are 15 seconds. During that time the screen is just blank, so at first try I thought it doesn't work on mobile. It almost seems like it loads all the results at once, summary, image, video etc?

2. On desktop it's snappier, but still 3-4 seconds despite having good connection/system.

3. Skeletal loaders are everywhere. I know they are popular these days, but for me searching multiple times in a row to narrow down results started to feel a bit dizzying with them popping up each time and swirling. Same thing bothers me on Qwant search engine for example and is the main (although shallow) reason I don't use it.
I'd rather have an in depth article about SPIR-V on the front page even if I'm not a gfx engineer than another generic, mainstream article that's unrelated to computer stuff. We have already too many of those and we're slowly turning into Ars Technica.
It should be noted that Pyjion in particular is CPython. It's not even a fork - it's a native CPython module that provides a replacement for the stock bytecode interpreter (for which CPython has an API). Everything else is the same, so it's compatible with pretty much any random native module compiled for CPython.

I found your pitch really interesting, I'd love to try it. I, however, refuse to install an extension and change my default search engine just to be allowed to type in a search query.

I'm sure you have some "growth hacking" reason for this that is compelling to you. Maybe you hope that the slight annoyance of switching back will outweigh the inevitable annoyances with a new product like this.

It does come off as user hostile though - you're trying to badger me to switch rather than selling me on the merits of you.com.
> Sounds like all of the physical symptoms of so-called long-COVID.

I don't understand - are you saying lung damage and neurological issues like loss of taste are not distinct factors of long Covid?

Or did you come to the realisation that psychological stress often manifests in physiological symptoms? Are you even saying that there is not such a clear distinction between psychological and physiological diseases?

> There are no randomized studies, that control for factors, like the aforementioned psychological distress [...] here are a host of potential confounding factors [...]

It sounds like you are seriously underestimating medical research and researchers/scientists.

I'm even more confused - who is demanding and scare mongering?

I dont understand how online degrees cost so much. When I taught, I was paid around 10-15k$. I had 25 students paying 6600$ tuition + fees. I get that the 15000$<<165,000$ is because of infrastructure, etc, but online? really?

Yes, this is common in user comments on several otherwise intellectually useful sites. It almost always takes the form of a reasonable take followed by a comparison to China and an insinuation that the US version may be worse. The commenters have the same playbook to work from because the Russians wrote it in the mid 20th century.

> If you want to be elitist and attend the most expensive school possible, you have to eventually pay for it.

Eh, I feel like this isn't true. Most of top schools in the US offer full, need-blind financial aid. This means no scholarship that can be taken away nor student loans. Many fellow classmates were there completely free of charge. The best schools have money, and they're interested in making sure their talent attends.

> Social security, healthcare, pension needs to be paid. So either the employee is a freelancer, or company has an office in the same country to pay the employer's dues.

This is important!

The labor market in most EU countries is very strictly regulated, mostly to the benefit of the employees. If the company you try to work for does not have a branch in your country (chances are, they don't) then there is a huge bureaucratic burden and sometimes even a legal grey area.

Speaking from a German perspective, its barely worth it to try to apply for a remote position at Facebook (at least based on the salaries I've found). As a contractor you'd have to battle a huge administrative effort in terms of social security and healthcare, not to mention that everything is more expensive as a freelancer since there is no employer contribution to your healthcare payments. In the end you may end up with slightly more money in the bank, but with fewer employee protections and a huge administrative burden. So I'd really question if it's really worth it.

However, Germany is actually a market with decently high salaries for the IT sector, unlike some other countries like Italy. So I could imagine that there is significant demand from other EU countries
Cython is used very widely in the Python ecosystem. It's rarely mentioned precisly because it's so pervasive.

Ideally, I would use it this way (as a narrative):

Calendar: dinner with Anna and John next Friday.
I know Anna is vegan and John hates hot spicy food.
Go through a possible list of menus (not recipes) for the night, based on food that takes X time to be prepared.
Get me a complete list of what I need for y amount of guests (and a cost estimation).

Add what I need to an online grocery store list making sure it arrives the day before at the latest (but not too soon since I want it fresh).

Another use case. I have a profile where I set I'm vegetarian, I don't like soups, blah and blah.
I am hungry. I go to the fridge and I make a list of what I have and how much I have.

I now search for recipes with those ingredients that can be done in less than 40 mins.

Or, I'm preparing something that requires different timers: go and set them for me! Tell me that it's now time to put that thing in water if I want to prepare it tomorrow morning, or that I can now don't pay attention to this process during 45 minutes and alert me after that.

As I was saying, the recipe is really the easy part for me :)

"The eminent, on the other hand, are almost forced to work on a large scale. Instead of garden sheds they must design huge art museums. One reason they work on big things is that they can: like our hypothetical novelist, they're flattered by such opportunities. They also know that big projects will by their sheer bulk impress the audience. A garden shed, however lovely, would be easy to ignore; a few might even snicker at it. You can't snicker at a giant museum, no matter how much you dislike it. And finally, there are all those people the eminent have working for them; they have to choose projects that can keep them all busy." -- Paul Graham, "The Power of the Marginal"

About 10 years ago I saw a few emails regarding broken video clips. Ignored them as it’s always a local problem (like the volume isn’t plugged in)

Eventually it got passed to me. The files were missing. This was on a 16T file store, one of about 10, and investigating showed about 200G was missing.

Backup was an rsync job every hour to another server, with a —-delete option every week on a Monday morning.

Trawling though the auth logs eventually showed a second line engineer had elevate shimmed to root and managed to delete a bunch of files by running “find -delete” with a mangled name filter. He’d tried to solve a real problem by copying and pasting from google, failed, not realised why it failed, and given up.

The school spends 60% of its revenue selling itself as an elite education to people who don't qualify or need an elite education. They employ salesmen and incentivize them to be as aggressive as they legally can. They then deliver a subpar education, by every metric, compared to schools that cost half as much.

This is a predatory scam that targets low-income individuals who want an education and a career and pretty much guarantees an outcome of long-term financial instability.

Of course the victims have some of the responsibility, but

>Adults have a right to make poor choices.

Puts these supposedly prestigious schools at about the same ethical level as a casino, a tobacco company or a pay day loan operation. What USC is doing is arguably worse than a casino because it's using the reputation of a prestigious university to take advantage of people who want an education, while simultaneously siphoning money from taxpayers.

If you are honestly interested in learning about the crimes against humanity committed within the scope of imperialist agendas, you'll learn very well that the root cause is very specific.
