Besides mirror slap/vibrations, what's the other benefit? Size, and therefore cost, of glass is why all of my professional friends moved over. You can get better lenses for cheaper. And, the cameras themselves are much simpler, so can be cheaper/higher quality.

Many of the "live viewfinder" benefits already existing in DSLRs that had live viewfinder modes, with the rest being excluded for cost or differentiation (focus pixels, live histograms, etc). I saw it as an more of an eventuality of the live viewfinder being made more featureful than the lens view, so removing the mirror just made sense. The only people I know that are still using DSLR are those that "need" the classic viewfinder, but there's no reason the features of a mirrorless camera couldn't be put behind a sometimes-flopping mirror. The only problem with that would be vibration and the increase in size of the camera and lens.
A common post I see on HN is "why is Company X using the cloud, don't they know, at their size, doing it themselves would be cheaper?"

As more and more companies are moving to the cloud, I'm assuming that a lot of smart people have done the math and have decided Cloud is more efficient.
With the rise of the internet I now consider my identity to be valuable. So I don't give it away for free.

I personally don't want my identity checked unless I'm asking someone to trust me. And I'd rather use a trust-minimizing system before going there. You don't need your id checked when going to the restaurant or the theater. You need to check someone's id when they take your money and promise you something in return (and even then, there may be a better way).

> I don't see a single instance of trade being limited even if all transactions were between established identities.

Do you buy something if you need to send a copy of your id? Do you use a website if it requires Facebook connect?

The issues of tight tracking you mention would be amplified by widespread use of id checks so I think it's essential not to do them often.

yes, but note that those two are the same when C (2k) is applied as well. C (2k + 1) = C (3k + 2) saves you one step of computation, which can save you a lot of time if you're applying the steps.

You get out what you put in when running a blog. You need to market your site unfortunately. That’s where SEO, social sharing, newsletters and all those other annoying things come in. Even on a platform with an existing audience, like Medium, you will still be drowned out in the noise, unless you’re *very* lucky.

Bonus to hosting your own stuff is that you own it and no one can take that from you.
I very aggressively abridged that story, but the builders bought cladding material that suppliers told them conformed to the appropriate regulations. In reality the regulations weren't fit for purpose or enforced. There are questions around how aware of this they were.
Agreed. They should go all in on computation. They would probably need different processors and more batteries but a “pro” camera should be better than a phone in absolutely every aspect. I just got an iPhone 13 and it’s interesting how it handles night shots better than my Fuji X-T3 with its much bigger sensor.
There are many things I like about Idris 2. I think I'll be more inclined to take it seriously as a practical language once it has the equivalent of Hackage, hoogle, and cabal. Right now I can't even read the standard library docs, I have to browse the github source. And I have no idea how I'd go about depending on a package. I'm sure I could figure it out, but I assume at this stage it's fairly tedious.
This is great. I think it would benefit from having a large catch-all public server ehich people could use if they don't want to set up their own, shile retaining the choice to do so. That would improve the UX substantially, I think, although the cost may be too high.
Then I'm looking forward to the positive outcomes and the crypto community celebrating their wins instead of hawking more pixelated boob NFTs.
Gerrit is probably high up on the "Most underrated dev tools" list. People don't like it because it really uses git (which people don't really like) and doesn't have a flashy UI, but it is so good.
I noticed a difference on day one. I'll note that I also take l-glutamine to further the effect on the system I'm targeting. You'd also want a molybdenum and selenium source because NAC uses them up.

The effect is not dramatic like a stimulant. It's more like it makes my attention stickier, and allows me to hook into long problems more easily. It doesn't "feel" like anything, just causes a noticeable change in what I find engaging. One weird effect it has had is I completely stopped craving alcohol, news and social media. I usually spend hours on Reddit when I don't have anything on my plate. I'm talking 40k+ karma, multiple posts/comments per day type of addiction. I see multi-day, multi-week gaps between comments on my account now, which is unheard of for me. I know it's a silly heuristic, but it's an example of the behavior change.

I've seen much smarter people than me on Reddit say that effects may take 2-3 days. The supplement itself is pretty cheap, and negative side effects are minimal to non-existent. I am seriously astonished that such a common and accessible supplement has had the impact it has had on me. I personally think the cost/benefit ratio is so good that warranted skepticism can be overcome with a self-experiment.

If it doesn't have an effect, then at least a person can check off the "glutamate-glutamine system" checkbox in their quest to address executive function problems.

Cool, thanks!

Yeah, stack-based PRs are awesome - excited to perhaps try it out.
With all bashing on Ivermectin, I just wonder what people think about it! First, there's no money to be made from it - no patents, it costs cents per dose, and everybody can manufacture it! Second, it has proven anti-viral properties against HIV, HPV, etc. In general, it's not like some crazy guy decided to use try it against SARS-CoV-2 - scientists were looking to repurpose antivirals. Plus, it has a pretty decent and long-established safety record. Compare it to Remdesivir, let's say, which comes with terrible side effects! Also, the dosage has been pretty low and recommendations have changed - from 0.2mg/kg now it's 0.4-0.6mg/kg with Delta. Pretty much all my friends who followed the I-MASK+ protocol [0], didn't get severe course of COVID-19. Yeah, it's anecdotal data, but there are no exceptions!

> now the aftermath of the VCs still spamming the notifications to try to restart the hype train despite everyone leaving the app.

I think this was the key part: Clubhouse was never big. It was heavily promoted in VC-adjacent circles in San Francisco but that doesn't translate into mainstream adoption and the access to elites which gave it the initial cachet is basically of the opposite of scaling since too many requests for attention will kill participation by the big names.
> Let people make their own mistakes, you don't get to decide for them.

I struggle with this. I wish my mistakes didn't impact other people, and for a lot of things, they don't. But for some things, they really do.

I always remember this phrase, from Harry Potter, when thinking about death:

"You are the true master of death, because the true master does not seek to run away from Death. He accepts that he must die, and understands that there are far, far worse things in the living world than dying.”

A little bit pessimistic, but lifelong suffering might be worser than dying outright.

> In the UK, it's really hard to get a bank account where they'll do that.

I'm pretty sure all of them do, just ring up your bank and ask them to set your overdraft limit to 0

I've certainly done this with HSBC & Santander in the past, and when I got my Monzo account it was 0 by default (You had to sign up for an overdraft if you wanted one).
I also do something like this, but with SQL Server. Highly recommended. Except rather then going from a seed or backup, the schema and default data is defined in the application, then the data is entered in the test setup, the tables are sorted topographically, and inserted all at once, then the unit test runs (can be combined with a table driven test).

Robust, highly recommended.

A DAO is more like a specific corporate governance mechanism than a company. For example, ConstitutionDAO will be a non-profit, with a non-profit board etc. I presume they will put things up for vote using the DAO.

If it is executed flawlessly it will prove DAOs as a viable corporate governance mechanism. If it fails or struggles, there will be learnings.

Here is a small back of the envelope calculation.
Websters dictionary includes 470.000 words [0]. 52 lower and uppercase letters + 10 digits + ~20 special chars = 82 possibilities.
There are are 82^20 = 1.89 * 10^38 possible combinations for passwords consisting of 20 random characters.
Picking 7 random words from Websters dictionary has 470.000^7 = 5.07 * 10^39 possible combinations.
I'd argue that remembering 7 words is easier for most people, than remembering 20 random characters.

I have read approximately 100 times that this is a grand, endlessly interesting experiment and whatever happens it will be a new era for crypto. OK, sounds kind of cool but what is the hypothesis, or the interesting thing, or the thing that will change?

Only things I can think of are meta-crypto stuff, like that crypto hype can hype better than any other hype, that seems clear since Dogecoin. Or maybe how good/fast communities can coordinate using current web2 tooling, which is neat, sure. The speed and scale do feel interesting, but I don‘t really know why.

Anyway seems harmless and very fun for everyone involved.
In my town was a single mother who lived with her adult son that struggled with mental issues. She probably had very little help through the years, but somehow managed. One day, her son murdered her with a knife.
It's very sad, but I think we generally leave people to fend for themselves when they have dependents with mental issues. I worry about disturbed individuals that target, stalk, or kill other innocent people.
Maybe some day we might have a more humane treatment for these 'unfixable' individuals. Maybe even a virtual/persistent metaverse where they can live out a satisfying life without putting others in danger.
Yeah. I've had several convos with my health store owner about this. She told me she's found herself stocking up a lot lately because of the increased popularity and COVID misinformation-motivated stocking changes on Amazon.

I think societies had a simple curve for this. They help, help a bit more.. but after some time they drop the ball. Most average people have no clue anyway so they are powerless about the whole thing. People who know more may be able to go further in their efforts, but even then you're never sure you can carry someone like that for long. Even though .. I dearly think that most suicidal people only need a root deep emotional connection. Way too often people respond to shared pain, real empathy, understanding, trust ..
Completely agree with this. I have a semi-successful blog and what I would consider to be a successful career. My blog has never helped my career, but I enjoy the process of writing and putting my thoughts/opinions/learnings out there.

The way I synthesize it myself is that at the lower levels of society the burn out is because of harsh discipline and poverty.

However people at the upper echelons of society who you would expect to be all happy and cheerful are also burning out because of what’s described in the book.
It heavily depends on what exactly are you supposed to be compliant with. As in, developing countries tend to be less organized with all kind of rules being broken routinely. With people used to dysfunction, bad service, disorganization, bad behavior.

In a lot of ways, it is more tolerant of faults, because developed word demands perfection.

But then, when it turns bad it can be really bad. And it is not tolerant of everything, many freedoms and choices acceptable in developed word are treated with massive hostility.

Considering these three statements:

- the brain predicts what its upcoming input will be,

- quantum biologists ask if the human eye is sensitive to quantum effects, and

- measuring quantum information under different bases result in a different quantum state of not only the measurer, but of the world being measured.

I wonder if it is possible that the brain uses its predictive power to change the basis under which the eye measures photons, resulting in different perceptions as well as a different reality. A bit of a crazy idea but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be the case other than if it is shown that biological sensory organs are simply not that precise.

> Curious to hear from folks who actually work in the online ad industry

Two points:

a) Online ads are a shit sandwich for the advertisers from the points of view of quality and features. They only tolerate it because TV and print ads are dying as a medium.

b) Statistics and probability theory are used to filter the shit and connect online advertising to real-world metrics. It's a cost of doing business but it's a problem easily solvable by classical mathematics.
It really depends on what cloud services are used. The strategy of all the major cloud providers is to attract customers with cheap low lock-in commodity resources like S3 or EC2 and convince them to start using high lock-in and high-margin services like serverless computation. If they succeed (and they frequently do), the bills go through the roof.

That's always my question with these too. I want to know if the RPi can saturate a 1GbE connection, and really, even if the RPi can connect a bunch of SSDs, how well does it really use those resources -- and like you said, the answer is usually no.

Yep. I'm with you. I was chaos and anarchy before becoming a parent. Now if I lost mine in such an accident say, I'd immediately do it. What would be the point of waiting?

Not because they were the only thing stopping me, but because life without them, by now, is incomprehensible.

To be honest though, I think suicide is probably the best way to go unless you die instantly. I mean, say I get diagnosed with some horrible cancer or other. My son is 3, he would only remember me as some kind of horrible pale monster in a hospital if I went with the treatments.. TBH, in such a situation, I'd probably just wait until I was so sick I was unable to function, somehow attempt to say goodbye, write a ridiculous amount of letters to him and head off to the local euthanasia clinic.. I'm sure I read somewhere a majority of doctors who get cancer don't accept chemo/etc.. But I have no links to back that up.

Wow! Sunshine and rainbows.

> write _all_ your tests without ever having to truncate/delete tables between tests

This is exactly what we do, and it works really well. We essentially spin up a new tenant for each test suite. Forcing all tests to pass regardless of what other unrelated data is in the db is a great way to ensure cross-tenant data isolation.

The other underrated benefit is that you don't need a separate test database for local development - local dev instance and tests can use the same db. This means you can work on db changes in one place and see their impact on both tests and the running application.
Totally totally totally agree. I think a lot of the slow down comes from not understanding when the ball is in your court. And Github doesn't prioritize this b/c I think this problem is less prevalent in open source, where there is usually no expectation of a reasonable time until review.

I just came here to say that, if god forbid both your kids are taken from you, even then, I would say to you, fucking hell man, don't do it. Your loss will crush you and you'll never be the same. But you'd be alive. And you'd get to see how you'd deal with such a loss. And you wouldn't be alone. Because this shit happens to people and with some support, they live through it.

I do definitely believe people can be too broken to fix in certain ways. I feel like this about some parts of myself. But the thing is, that we can't say someone is too broken to fix as a whole, because the paths to be are virtually infinite. So that's why most people intuitively lean towards "you can't never lose hope". I'd say they are intuitively right this time, and yet people can also be too broken to fix in some ways. They are not mutually exclusive.

Now, that doesn't say much about whether one should try to overcome trauma or try to bury it. That depends a lot on the context, the direction you would like to move towards and the support you have to do it.
