Right didn’t they sue Mojang for the card game “Scrolls”
Nice post! Might be worth mentioning that some data structure implementations already exist in std or as a crate, i.e. std::collections::BTreeSet and petgraph. While it’s good to understand how Rc/Weak/raw pointers work, I always check if there is a battle-tested version of what I need before reaching for them.
OpenEngiadina: From ActivityPub to XMPP
I would argue in conjunction with zfs snapshots (can be every minute), it's safe and the caveat no longer applies.
I built our backup service for our users on top of restic! Works great :)
That’s true. But even then I would question the thread’s relevance to HN.
Also worth noting that the sample (as a whole) was 96% white, 91% non-Hispanic, and 33% male.

Granted, the study was performed in SLC, but these numbers suggest that this is not even a particularly representative sample of SLC, much less of the nation as a whole.
> I'm thinking about between 4pm (needs a coffee around 2 or 3) and 8am

This is (called 16-8, 16hr fast and 8hr eating window) is actually a recommended way to start IF. I've been on it for ~4 months and can second the effectiveness of weight loss.

About the calorie intake; a funny side effect is that I'm now naturally less hungry even during the 8hr window so the calorie intake has automatically reduced.

I was wondering why would that be and then learned about insulin resistance and things began to fall in place.

Now I'm doing 16-8 IF and close to zero added sugar diet (which is painfully difficult in Indian cuisine, more so during this festival season :-|).
I'm sure it's different for everyone.

I never experienced a "food coma".

If I'm starving I can't think straight.
You might have gotten me having this too narrow to be broadly useful. Because we were already arguing about a detail and I concentrate just on this detail, not a general github privacy overview.

The whole intention was to raise attention to a less often mentioned part of the information github exposes about accounts.
Ouch, I guess there's a bureaucracy behind the ontology of any proof of work, although spam/email was a good use case but perhaps crypto is a finer expression, so the paper's main thesis is partially right but it's still used as a spam filter so I guess there's a utility there.
And when the prosecution is trying to infer from a single pixel what the defendant was doing, algorithms and artifacts matter.

Just watch the trial.
Reminds me of the joke about celibacy. Most people are celibate 99.99% of their total hours lived. But if you intentionally add 0.01% to that, people lose their mind.
The heritability of intelligence is overhyped, and in my opinion of no practical use.

It's extremely hard to find data where it is even possible to distinguish between genetic and environmental influence. That would be the studies of the kind "twins raised apart". And that already excludes the reality that those twins will probably grow up in a similar background, similar health and educational system etc.

The talk about heritable IQ is pointless, even dangerous, because it leads to complacency around issues around structural racism and equality in education.
I think the issue with Tesla was the lack of time and capital to automate. Innovating that industry will take a lot of both. I doubt they have given up entirely, just paused because they had to be realistic with the production demands and available time in the timeframe in which they had to produce.
Couldn't it be hidden underground (or in a mountain/large hill), with something like a ring shaped trench or slit leading to the launch aperture? Basically a big, camouflaged version of WWI/WWII-style concrete coastal gun emplacements.

I'm no expert, but I thought ICBM launches were detected using thermal IR sensors on satellites. There wouldn't be any for this launcher. There would still be a heat signature from the second stage, but it wouldn't need to be anywhere near the launcher itself.
Even more so: every time IQ and regression to the mean is explained, it is always in the “more-to-less direction”, whereas it works in both and both are relevant.
It's very rare that you sum numbers separated by ~100 orders of (decimal) magnitude. In practice the error will usually be very small. Just big enough to make x == y and x != y useless for floats, but not big enough to cause problems anywhere else.
I skip breakfast aside from one cup of unsweetened coffee and on the other end I brush my teeth for the night with my daughter when she goes to bed at 8pm.
For those who are upbeat about IF: some simple questions:

1. Does coffee/tea count as a "meal"? I can't get through the day without a couple of cups of coffee and tea.

2. This study mentioned a 24-hour water-only fast, not the IF that most commenters are talking about in this post. Thoughts on that?

3. I've been thinking of going on the "Phil Mickelson" diet: https://golf.com/instruction/fitness/phil-mickelson-age-defy... Any thoughts on that?
No, but they can be hard to tell apart!
Timing the calendar is different from timing the market. I internalize the latter as “buying when you think the price is lower than it should be and/or selling when you think it’s higher than it should be”.

(I agree with your approach and do not make an effort to dollar-cost-average or otherwise smooth my investments over time. But I don’t think of a pre-defined calendar based approach as “timing the market”.)
Fasting isn't starving. It's living off of the food and energy you ate before. I.e. done properly you're tapping i to your bodyfat for energy and there's absolutely no hunger.
It doesn't feel like work to me after I'm used to it, just a part of life. I'd only be cheating myself if I cheated on it, so I always err on overestimating.

I also track protein to make sure I get at least 170g, so that's an additional benefit.
Let's go one step further ...

One person can have multiple systems of note taking. Just daily notes that you need to write down to keep some thoughts around. Other system might be for writing a book that needs to be really structured.

I think problem is that a lot of people think that they need to have "one master system" to rule them all.

But what is my idea - that if you have some daily note that you want to include in your book, you copy that piece to your "book notes" from your "daily notes" and have 2 copies in different contexts.

Sometimes I have that grand idea that I would like to wrap my mind around entirety of my life ... it is just not possible and CONTEXT is the king.
Restic is a great piece of software. I use it for more than two years now to do encrypted backups of my home server into Backblaze B2. Took minutes to set up with a couple of lines of script, works like a charm since then. Highly recommended!
> However, do you need to explicitly parametrize them or does the language do it for you? I'm not aware of any language that would remove the need to consider them and just automatically "work" with async types whereas "normal" threading

That's correct. What I said is: you can write your algorithm once and apply it to both sync and async datastructures (given certain constraints).

But that doesn't mean that async and sync feels exactly the same. It's simply impossible for this to be true in any meaningful way and has been tried over and over.
There is unexplained difference regarding body energy usage if one eats most calories before noon or in the evening. With the former body spends like 100-200 more calories than with the latter. This is independent of sleeping patterns, what one eats and what one is doing. Even if one works night shifts, the same pattern persists. And it is not clear where exactly the extra energy is spent.

Really like this old Christopher Lee movie. It was on Amazon streaming I believe.
Massive consolidation is happening in every industry, IT distribution to cabinet parts to industrial equipent. I think it is from cheap debt allowing private equity to buy up a bunch of companies, smash them together, cut the duplication and lower margin parts of the business, hiking margins as they eliminated competition, and then spinning them off. Debt has been so cheap, they don't even need to have up front capital, just borrow and profit off the deal.

However, it is eliminating useful and valuable products & tools, disrupting lives, and making it very difficult to run a business that relies on those parts.

This is one of the many ways endless years of emergency low interest rates are destroying the economy and the livelihood of many people.
AlphaGarden: Learning to autonomously tend a polyculture garden
True, but do you just allow them to borrow the reputation of your other customers? If a scammer knows example.com is a customer (DNS records will tell me this quickly) and a scammer decides to open an account and send as example.com through the service. Does Mailgun have no responsibility or ability to stop this behavior?

Seems easy enough to stop from what I know of email. Otherwise DKIM and SPF are worth nothing in systems like this.
That sucks. In my case I got a low 5 figure buy out offer which I figured I better take to not find what’s the next step. It was a useless blog which was using a part of a large entertainment company’s name
This self-control aspect also works in other diets, too, of course. It's why I prefer cheat days over cheat meals in my diet. I've found that keeping myself consistent with my eating, and make deliberate decisions, for 6 days straight leads to much better results than letting my diet slip occasionally through out the week and excusing it by convincing myself it's a "cheat meal."
borg supports compression, restic doesn't (and there is no way to add it without breaking backwards compatibility because of how the file format was designed). That's all I need to know for my use cases.
Then you run into the problem of deciding who is running the authoritative mirror when the existing one goes down. If there's no single authoritative mirror then you could potentially double-spend your money by spending it in different places on different mirrors.
funny how everyone refers to coins which are pegged to a massively inflationary fiat currency as "stable"...
The wallet holder replied and said they didn't like the situation and had been working on a solution, but 7 years seems a little ridiculous. I don't understand why transferring it to the Foundation isn't possible - is it that hard to turn bitcoin back into real money?
> Wireless data rates (eg- Wifi6) currently exceed wired by a good margin

Maybe in lab tests and based on theoretical data rates from datasheets. In practice they don't; most people are in a noisy environment and use shitty consumer-grade equipment. Even if you wanted to pay to make it work, finding good equipment is not easy and often involves trial and error until you find a product that's good enough.

In contrast, even the cheapest Ethernet cable will pretty much always work, and when it doesn't it's very obvious where as Wi-Fi has so much potential for "kinda working" where it looks like it works on most speedtests (because TCP corrects for packet loss) but completely craps out on a real-time application such as a video call (where you can't conceal packet loss).
The problem is that those basic fakes are normally rejected by the spam filter because they fail the SPF/DKIM checks on the receiving site.

If you actually use mailgun yourself then you add mailgun to the list of permitted senders and probably add a DKIM key as well. When someone else then fakes your email address without any validation, mailgun might sign the message and bypass every anti spam measure there is.

This could be solved without validation (for example by using dedicated IP addresses and DKIM keys per domain and attaching those to your specific account and API keys) but that'd take some significant engineering effort (and address space, loads of servers are still configured IPv4 only for some reason).

From the screenshot, I gather that the DKIM checks failed already. That still makes mailgun an open relay, though, so they should be added to the necessary IP blacklists if they can't fix this problem.
> Illegal immigration suppresses the wages of the low end type of jobs

“Failure to enforce existing labor laws against employers who hire illegally” is a critical step between “illegal immigration” and “suppressed wages.”

Abolishing ICE does not equate to stopping immigration enforcement: ICE has only existed for 18 years; enforcement did not start in 2003. The waters are also muddied by conservatives’ intentional conflation of “refugee applicants” with “illegal immigrants.”
It's more than payment history. I avoided credit until I bought a car, and I made a point to pay my car loan off early. Seemed like a way to demonstrate that I was responsible with my money.

The month I paid off that loan, my credit score dropped precipitously.

In 2006, my wife and I bought a home, and had to get two separate loans to make it work, because our credit scores weren't great at age 26, since I generally avoided credit.

As soon as we opened those two loans, our credit scores jumped to the highest they've ever been.

That and other patterns I've watched over two decades are why I believe credit scores are entirely about how well you pay the banks' game.
How the UK became the sick man of European tourism
Not when compared to the CL REPL, yes.
I'm not sure it really works like this. Suppose you've spent 10 years becoming a master java developer, and now all the investment is going into python. You're going to better than the boot-campers after 1 week and a master developer after 3 months, whereas the others will still need years to catch up.

I think it's worth keeping a loose working knowledge of all the mainstream software in your field, but don't really go deep until you need it.
Songwriting is my hobby. Good songs are rare. Beatles wrote 229 songs and only a small percentage of those are hits or "good songs" as I would call them (20 Top 1 hits and 34 Top 10 hits). Most people in the world wouldn't recognize most of Beatles songs, but just about everybody knows "Yesterday".

My understanding that back in the day this neck breaking pace was rather common, often because of pressure from the record labels and contracts that bands were forced to sign with them.

Absolute majority of known bands out there are "one song marvels" and those that are not are rare, well know worldwide superstars.
higher, but low, but higher

have you seen the new psyop where vaccine holdouts now get the shot but believe they can quickly remove it, similar to reacting to venom? I’ve been starting to think of things like that at their level of comprehension. I’m getting better at it. Will be procedurally generating this benign nonsense soon.

I started noticing someone was already doing it after the prior psyop was so obvious. Many anti vaxxers began believing could only avoid “shedded spike proteins of the vaccinated” by social distancing and masking up forever. Ironically gaining compliance with all guidelines but in a way they believed was original and never having to argue with them ever.

Got to think like them! Similar to what comedians do.
> Do those qualify as biased sources to you?

Potentially yes. Everyone can be biased. Do they share a common interest or trait? They do.

I have been a fan of Jancovici in 2006. I see through his game now. He’s the master of correlations and he’s sorely lacking causations. Because causations at global scale are hard to demonstrate, short of actually doing global-scale experiments, which we can’t do.

Another aspect is that we citizen can’t measure it, so it’s hard to discuss on something that we can’t see (It’s the Covid effect). Another is that we’re planning on literally playing chemists with the Earth’s atmosphere composition, despite just having concluded that large-scale chemical experiments are to be avoided. One last point is Janco divides emissions by the number of people on Earth, which is a heavily-loaded formula with extremely bad side effects (but has been approved by UN), such as giving advantage to countries who overpopulate, which Janco himself demonstrates is bad, but he doesn’t see that because he’s under his own ideology. The EU follows and in June it plans to vote an increase of population of 12% by 2030 (through external growth). It feel like all our efforts will reduce global emissions by 5% or 10% only to be cancelled by a population increase. So it just seems that they want us to consume less.

It’s a minefield that would be easily influenced by many parties for political gain. I’m not saying global warming doesn’t exist.
So what would you suggest to replace it? Obviously there needs to be some federal law enforcement agency...

And as much as their past has portions that are super fucked up, wasn't that also a reflection of American society at the time?

I just think that for as much harm as the FBI historically caused, they've also busted enormous criminal rings and done a lot to reduce organized crime. I genuinely think Americans would be worse of without them, even with my bias as a leftist that typically loathes alphabet soup surviellance agencies.
Shelf Engine (YC S18) Is Hiring a Data Science Manager. Help Us Stop Food Waste
Not really a surprise, moderna has a much higher dose, mcg for mcg. 100 vs 30.

At least where I am, booster doses using moderna are recommended at half doses (50mcg).

They both use the same spike protein sequence.

No idea how the excipients differ between the two, but neither has adjuvants.

Sore throat might be heartburn, have you changed your diet? Perhaps you're eating too quickly? Are you drinking enough water?

Might be an idea to consult a registered dietician or a GP (general practitioner, a generalist doctor, sometimes called a 'family doctor').

Maybe some things regarding UX on my radar will surface in a range of <2 years.
my perspective is that everything I do is asynch and multithreaded. so the whole hierarchical allocation part of the language is largely useless to me.

once i figured that out, its really not so bad. but anytime a collaborator or a library tells me to use lifetimes I just get all churlish.
I remember something about studies about "twins raised apart".

In my opinion, Human nature is too complicate to poke at many of these factors, and talking about genetics quickly devolves into racism and elitism.

It seems to me like long-run inflation is substantially tied to wage growth (or at least to income growth).

Inflation can’t outpace income forever, or who will buy the goods?

Wow, that's awesome.

I think many more people would use Restic if this was called out prominently on the home page.

I've known about Restic for years and would likely be using it by now had I realised that!

EDIT: Ah looks like it may not work on Windows. Part of the appeal of Restic, for me, would be being able to cover all of my Windows, Mac and Linux machines with the same system.
This kind of quibbling always comes up. He's just using professors and national merit finalists as examples.

The truth is, you could probably take the top 10 percent highest-earning car salesmen (EDIT: and women), drop them on a desert island and, after two generations, get the highest-IQ society the world has ever known. But that's less obvious, so why use such an example?
For some fat people, yes. That's why they are fat: they can't stop snacking.
> OK, then next question: Is the intended delivery address say one street over?

You don't need to ask me; it's in the article, starting with the first sentence:

> Amazon – the logistics expert the world has come to rely on for everything from groceries to furniture – abandoned an entire cart of packages meant for delivery to Forest Street in a Fernald Drive lobby on Wednesday. …

> Fernald, in Neighborhood 9, and Forest, in the Baldwin neighborhood, are a five-minute drive apart.
In theory, not so much in practice. It's easy to have an opinion. Changing one's habits and lifestyle is more difficult.
Thank you for clarification.

Seems like arrow (->) is the best choice for Rust, given arrow's visual distinctiveness and search-ability.
If you want to have an "anti-inflammatory" response, then try to maximize your fiber intake from a wide variety of plants.

This will increase the quality of your microbiome -- which in turn, will produce substances that are anti-inflammatory.
The USB-C port on my Macbook is worn out after a couple years; it works but just doesn't grip the cable at all and so literally falls out of the port unless I hold it. The same cables are held tightly in my other (newer) Macbook so I don't think it's a cable issue.

In contrast, I've got years-old Lightning devices and the cables still hold strongly in the connector.

You are exposed to millions of antigens daily, and almost none are FDA approved. This isn’t at all like a new chemical entity, it is a short-lived antigen that trains your immune system, then goes away. This isn’t 1960, it’s 2021. It’s safe, certainly safer than COVID, and necessary to protect you, your family, your neighbors, and our society.

some people "cheat" by considering cream-only coffee acceptable as well (it's keto/zero-carb so might not raise blood sugar levels) - see e.g. "bulletproof coffee" by Dave Asprey (NOT ENDORSING ANYTHING ELSE BY THIS SCAM ARTIST)
>The PGP web of trust is as good as dead, ...

I don't think the thing you are referring to ever actually existed. Just like in real life you would trust someone just because someone you trusted trusted them. This is a common strawman and does not represent some sort of weakness in the relatively straightforward certifications provided by stuff that supports OpenPGP.
There is absolutely no legal reason that the DoD can't take Intel/AMD/Whomever's designs to alternative manufacturers. Unfortunately in the name of making the richest among us richer, our leadership hardly exercises the DoD's blanket license of all things patented. Along the same lines, we no longer break up companies that dominate their industry, giving us fewer choices for alternative manufacturers.
> There are studies on this

Studies on this are generally poor quality, and you can easily tell by looking at the study content.

Remember when early 2020 all the official organizations (WHO, CDC) were telling people to NOT wear masks because studies showed they didn't work? Yea. Turned out all the studies were really bad quality.

"Scientific" publishing is broken and you simply can't rely on it for useful information. Many studies don't even replicate, but they still get published and cited.

For another example, see: https://twitter.com/cmuratori/status/1459275924059217920

Basically, whenever I hear "studies have shown ..." I just don't care. Let the studies show whatever they want. I will go with my own experience and with personal anecdotes I hear from people. They are way more consistent and reliable.
What if they built a giant multiple mile long electromagnetic rail gun that accelerated the payload to a few thousand miles and hour and fired it off into orbit? It would solve the same problem as this spinny thing but would subject the rocket to lower g forces during its launch?
