This article didn't convince me at all. For example, there is no clear proof that masks help to reduce infections. It is unclear why but risk compensation could be a reason.

Diet soda – it clearly hasn't reduced diabetes incidence. In fact, it is now thought that it is not only glucose but the effect on gut signalling can be deleterious.

It doesn't mean that all assumptions about risk compensation were correct. But even rising motorcycle deaths is not a good example because the happened after they helmets were required which made bikers more complacent. In other times we are fine with risk compensation happening because it allows us to do more at the same risk level.

The things about covid (masks, testing) haven't aged well. The Europe is going back to lockdowns despite doing all these things and having good vaccination levels on top of it. Somehow they haven't really worked at all.

The paid support is not cheap and mostly useless, at least in Asia region. We still need to go through normal bug report system, create reproduction steps for them, and get denied for back-porting bug fixes every single time. The only thing changed is that there's a "bug fix progress update" to make you feel a little bit better. We terminated the support right after the term expired.
I know this isn't a software licence but this topic has been on my mind recently. One problem that hits software using "novel" licences (and in some cases copyleft licences) is that software is multilayered and libraries use libraries that use libraries.

If I want to open source my stuff - or use a novel semi-OSS licence and I've picked a different flavour to you then I usually can't touch your stuff.

Most non-copyleft licences are broadly compatible leading to a big ecosystem. Once you move off that beaten track things get tricky.

I've got less experience of this situation with non-software licences and I suspect it's less of an issue due to less "layering" but I do tend to reuse assets between projects over time and the thought of keeping track of every obscure restriction in every asset has a chilling effect.

People - unless you have very strong reasons not to, consider sticking to widely used licences, and ones as liberal in their terms as you can tolerate.

The intermediary offers the ability to transact right away. If the seller thinks this is worth the discount then they'll sell and that's a win for them. If the buyer thinks that's worth the premium then they'll buy and that's a win for them. The intermediary gets paid so that's a win as well.

Getting too deep into the stock market/NBBO analogy breaks down because houses aren't undifferentiated fungible assets and so the details don't line up.
> Dealers have inventories - they purchase items from the suppliers and resell them - if they misjudge demand, they're left off with useless goods.

Everything is negotiable. If a retailer has more power than a supplier, then the retailer can demand a guaranteed sale clause in the contract, requiring the supplier to take back unsold goods and refund them.

This is just wild speculation. You overestimate the external validity of this study. Why did adults leap faster to conclusions? One obvious explanation would be that adults are simply smarter and can get to a working heuristic faster. Maybe, maybe not, but we can’t know because the incentives in the study were ill-defined.
Another way is to set $GIT_SSH_COMMAND when cloning:

GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_company_a -o IdentitiesOnly=yes" git clone ...

and then set it in your checkout's .git/config for subsequent fetches & pushes:

git config core.sshCommand "ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_company_a -o IdentitiesOnly=yes"

Another explanation for depression I've heard from Mark Solms. Or partial explanation. He thinks it may be a dysfunctional or pathologised form of mourning. There are two relevant emotional needs which all mammals possess:

1. Seeking. This is ongoing energetic and curious engagement with the world.

2. Attachment. The need for connection with others, especially to parents.

These two rarely come into conflict but when they do system 1 may be switched off.

e.g. A rat pup is separated from its mother and becomes anxious. It commences to squeak for a brief period in order to attract her attention. It then goes quiet; its brain switches off seeking. It experiences mourning and despair.

The evolutionary rationale for this built-in mechanism is to prevent vulnerable infants from attracting predators.

Obviously humans are more complicated. Perhaps the same shutdown process is triggered in response to the breaking of other kinds of attachment, e.g. attachment to ideas about what to do.

The last paid version was OS X Mountain Lion (10.8, released 2012).
To the extent they're doing vintage clones with circuits that are long past any patents, that's how the system is supposed to work. I don't see how anyone can complain about their Model D, for example. The original was released half a century ago.
Nice job! You should limit that $6 a month based on the # of blocks. I could see some more "enterprise" type customers using this and you'd want a way to push them in to a much higher price point.
unfortunately someone has managed to scrub all the PDFs off the internet.

CM-LISP to me is kind of the holy grail of implicit parallelism. its kind of a relational paradigm but organized around recursive distributed mappings.

the only way that I can think to compile it is to build something like a relational query optimizer. except (I'm pretty sure(?)) mappings are first-class objects and the distributions of the underlying sets are fully dynamic.

so that's already a lot to try to come to grips with, but in this case the target is SIMD. which would in theory permit fulfillment of the CM thesis - arbitrarily scalable general computers without the overhead of reactive consistency (cache coherency).

CM programming was actually not that bad - but you needed to lay everything out in 2^n cartesian meshes. CM-LISP is just a free-for-all in terms of domain organization. actually I do really want to find the pdf again because its a much nicer model than graph-ql

I kind of suspect that it can't be compiled effectively, but last time I checked I'm only like 0.05 Steeles. I don't _know_ that it would turn out to be as compelling a programming model as I think, but would love to find out.

edit: I did find some cm-lisp related material in Hillis's thesis at https://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/14719/1852428...

[there is a strong implication in the thesis that layout was intended to be dynamically optimized - so maybe the compiler issue isn't as terrible as I think]

I recently updated an old MacbookPro6,2 from Yosemite to High Sierra and that was a complete disaster. Took me a huge amount of time.

I think there two problems: the upgrade could not handle the way the disk was partitioned (or something else). Everything I tried kept failing until I removed the disk, and completely wiped it. Discussions I found online were not helpful.

The other part is the magic you need to download High Sierra on a newer Macbook. It is not as if you can just go to the Apple store and download it.

That said, I have been using Macbooks for work for the last 10 years or so. They always get upgraded a couple of times during their lifetimes. Usually not a big problem. So I was quite surprised how bad it went.

Wait are you part of this conversation?
We also use Notion in my company. The editor is horrendous. It's absolutely crazy how bad it is for my use of writing documentation. I'm also biased, I do love emacs with evil and markdown modes, and I use neovim as my main editor again nowadays. Notion just gets in your way, and I also prefer the classic 80 characters a row, clean RFC format over whatever notion gives with emojis and colors.

Some things I really don't like with Notion:

- Markdown import has been broken the whole two years I needed to store stuff in Notion. I prefer writing in emacs and importing to Notion. Always problems with that.

- The editor is just always having some problems when you use `code` blocks or other formatting.

- The search is unusable.

- It is slow and I either need to install an Electron app or use it from browser.

How I cope with it nowadays is I just write my text in emacs using markdown mode, then paste it to Notion in one code block to keep at least some of my formatting and forget my text into the black hole of Notion where I cannot find anything after a few weeks.

Edit: What would be cool is an API that plugs into the editor, such as vim or emacs, that allows me to organize my texts in the editor and upload from there to the Notion server without me needing to open their app. I could see all my documents from this mode, edit them and so on...

On patents...if you're in a sufficiently unexplored space, simple ideas become eminently patentable. So -- given the context -- yeah, pretty much any thought made that is aware of these systems is likely patentable.

Profitable to patent? That's a different question.
Well, overlapped (=async) IO was what ultimately overwrote stack memory. The hazard pattern I recognized from previous experience.

Of course exception in the queued APC was the reason why select's WFSO was prematurely interrupted and stack rewound, so the bug was of course there. It's pretty dangerous to execute code in the context of a waiting thread.

While the solution to fix it by using heap allocation is a bit ugly in some sense, if your choices are to abort execution completely or to infrequently leak some bytes of memory, I know I'd choose to leak and perhaps log what just happened.

There are rare cases when the I/O never completes and CancelIo doesn't complete either. Probably hardware faults or kernel driver bugs. Stuff that should absolutely never happen, but can still be defensively programmed around.

ICE motorbikes in the west are usually ridden by hobbyists, not people using them for commuting. Where I live, it is cold and/or miserable for 7 months of the year, and its rare to see motorbike riders during that time. So they're bought by people who already have other modes of transport. The weekend rider crew. And they are usually quite expensive. On top of that, where I live they need special licensing, so add 2000€ for a driver's license. Also, you'd be pulled over so fast for having a child or pet unsecured on one of them, your head would spin.
Not exactly the same but as a fellow Firefox user here is one of my workflows (some practical stuff at the end):

- research one topic, using a Firefox instance with Tree Style Tabs, ctrl clicking each link I follow thereby opening it in a new leaf-branch, producing a tree of tabs documenting where I have been.

- research another topic... and another and then a few more.

- realizing after a few days I have more than 600 tabs open just in my research browser (I have one reserved for customer systems and mail, and on that I use mostly only Bitwarden, uBlock Origin and container tabs).

- I select one or more trees from my research browser, export them to markdown and get a nice indented markdown list of everything, copy those into Joplin, go back to Firefox and right click to close all selected tabs.

- that's it.

Hints: For this to work you need Firefox, the Tree Style Tabs (TST) Firefox extension as well as one or two TST extensions. Yes, on Firefox extensions can have extensions, and no, it doesn't bog down my browsers to any significant degree. The relevant TST extensions can be found linked from the TST addon page, yes they are also Firefox extensions but they won't help much without TST I think.

My apologies: contenteditable isn’t a boolean attribute as I thought, but rather an enumerated attribute, with "", "true" and "false" being valid values.

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/interaction.html#attr... has the details. It comes down to the ability to specify contenteditable="false" within a contenteditable area, with the absence of a contenteditable attribute corresponding to the inherit state.

I had quite forgotten that it was possible to nest something non-editable within something editable. Fairly similar to user-select behaviour, really.
Fish is one of the healthiest food you can eat, take your diet agenda elsewhere. The problem here is our role in the ecosystem, which is extractive and not in harmony. The main culprit is land locked people eating far away foods, its not sustainable. Everything should be optimized for local, in season consumption. Imported food aught to be a treat, not a staple.
I was actually hoping to avoid starting a debate here and hoping to find a broadly scoped long form discussion written by a journalist.

Please do not take my opinion as a personal affront to your career, and I sympathise with the difficulties in the industry.

Don't worry about my missing out, I had plenty of other things to do during that time. I have since regained a temporary interest and caught up on the offline single player PC games of interest to me over the course of lockdown restrictions, but console games are not for me. Invisible-War stands out as an abomination, prompting my comment.

The Ion storm games I mention ran poorly on an unreal 2 engine compared to their predecessors and the GTA ones were developed in parallel, there was no change of plan, it's a statement of fact in those cases rather than an attitude.

It will depend on which MacOS dropped them.

Mojave for example dropped all Macs with GPUs incompatible with their Metal API.

The arstechnica MacOS reviews are good for working out (sometimes resorting to speculation) what makes a Mac unsupported.
This looks neat, but having such important work locked into proprietary systems seems like a really bad idea. Are there any open source systems this good? I know about org mode, Joplin, and some others, but this seems nicer and more capable.

> Imagine a guy who, struck with a wild but charitable fever of generosity, decided to give away 100 gallons of tasty, free coffee every morning at a small downtown stand. During that entire first week, he struggled to give it all away before lunchtime and went home with quite a few gallons of leftover lukewarm coffee. In week two, he started seeing familiar faces each day from the nearby buildings, because people walking by know a good deal when they see one (the low price of free). Many of them returned each day and the coffee was gone by 11 a.m. By the third week, the word was out across downtown about the “crazy free coffee guy” and he started running out earlier each day. By the start of week four, people were coming from all over downtown and he had a line queued up waiting for him at 7 a.m. to ensure they got their free cup before work, and it was all gone before 9 a.m.
This is exactly the problem. You need to revoke your key (maybe just one key, maybe lots of keys) but you can't revoke it from the new service, only from GitHub, because the process of authorizing you to the new service was append-only.
Ask HN: How would you explain an ABI?
This would be my (possibly wrong) explanation:

So in Linux we have syscalls such as write, read, close, socket, ...
These syscalls are defined according to the POSIX standard. POSIX is basically a standard for operating systems. Linux/Unix follow these standards.
So syscalls are an interface so that we can communicate with the OS. (Is it the application binary interface already?)

Now, we have the C standard library, so we don't need to deal with syscalls (or specific OS stuff). The C standard library is basically an application programming interface (API).
So printf, fopen etc. map to write, open, etc. respectively:

printf ~ write

fopen ~ open

fclose ~ close

...

Then, apparently, we require a runtime environment (RTE). This runtime environment (is perhaps) the standard library that is a .so file (a shared object).
Shared objects are (perhaps) loaded by the OS to a specific memory location so that all C programs can access that .so file (which is now loaded in memory for all C executables to use.)
So that .so file is the "RTE" and the syscalls are the "ABI"?

If so, I find "ABI" and "RTE" confusing. Java has an RTE. You need the Java Virtual Machine (an abstract CPU essentially) to run your .class files within that virtual machine (JVM).

Again, I am unsure about this, so please go easy on me. Thank you!

PS: Why do people like Jason Turner say: "break the ABI to save C++"? So break the .so files for C++'s standard library? What for? (Shouldn't it be: "break C++'s RTE"?)
There's a big crowd that just fears "big pharma" but also the virus too.
Presumably because those funds are being used for welfare. Let's imagine my country does just that. Let's take half of the federal Canadian Social Transfer to the provinces and spend it on something climate-y. Great.

Politically, I do not believe that the hundreds of thousands of disabled and elderly people who would find themselves starving on the streets, would be popular. Chances are it would backfire. Why cut the incomes of the poorest in the wealthy world, rather than the wealthiest in the wealthy world? $1000 means far less to me than it does to someone with an income of 1/20th of what I have.
Perpetuating the fiction that nature works like our mathematical algorithms, or computational machines. Waffling vanity.
We Are All Monsters
Do:

* Focus on primary function category first. I divide my naming of assets first by a general category: service, module, terminal, browser. Service denotes structures intended for transfer across a network. Module is a poor name to describe a major library artifact such as an object contains methods and properties for a single focused feature set file system or text messaging. Terminal describes lesser resources that live only on the terminal. Browser describes lesser resources that only in the browser.

* Document naming conventions by an architect or committee outside the dev teams.

Don’t:

* Do not associate naming by team or people identify. Doing this erodes reuse between teams and creates broken silos. People come and go but problems with the code will be there forever.

* Don’t name things by technology stack. Developers can become religious about particular tools and often that happens because they build tech debt around certain tools they don’t want to escape from. The goal is to deliver a product that solves a problem which in turn generates revenue. Thinking in terms of tools is not thinking in terms of solution delivery.

Something I am painfully learning the hard way on a personal project is applying services independently of transmission scheme. For example service data and handling at all end points should work identically regardless of using http, sockets, or something else. Doing, and naming/organization of assets is a major part, can lower processing on transmission related overhead by as much as 33%. That is an amazing performance increase because it is purely incidental to just applying a code reorganization to increase scale and lower maintenance.

This makes no sense. If landlocked people moved to the coast, that would solve your "local" problem but not fix overfishing at all. And if fish is so important to eat, landlocked people mustn't be deprived of it.

You are conflating transportation costs with nutrition and getting a meaningless argument.

India eyes prohibiting irresponsible crypto ads
I am probably PC gamer and I do not use controller and do not plan to do. Aiming with mouse vs aiming with controller will always differ - tbf, even when shooter games(Doom and Duke Nukem 3D, even Descent) used keyboard for aiming that had a lot more options than modern controllers, which I personally think is a big step down from PC joystics. What you are mostly seeing are console players, who are playing games on PC and they might use controller - some of the platform games(that are also available on PC) might benefit use of controllers instead of keyboards, but then again - PC gamers have reached virtuoso level with using keyboards, so pleas stap this nonsense of inciting PC vs consoles hatred.
Clearly, consoles have bigger income from gaming than PC, but then again - mobile games dwarf all of these combined, but that is not really an argument about what is better, but where is bigger income.
Thanks!

I see your point and agree with your assessment. I simply decided to release it early to get feedback and squash bugs, hence the single discounted plan.

I do plan on having at least two tiers and yearly subscriptions once the product matures.
