Rowing is awesome but even a non-impact activity can be bad for you if it’s all you do.

(I tweaked my hips during 2020 lockdown by overdoing it on my Concept2).

My advice is an app like Keelo, which creates HIIT workouts based on the equipment you tell it you have - including a rowing machine. I have my rower, some dumbbells, a plyo box, a kettle bell, and some rings.

Every workout is different than the last, you can use your own Spotify playlists, and it will kick your ass in all the best ways.
> I wish they would just come out and be honest about the situation.

Isn't this honest? You want them to speculate, but what's the point?

Don't we all already know Omicron is likely already here? So what does the CDC add? What we really need to know is how serious it is -- how deadly X how infectious -- and the CDC doesn't know that (yet).
English still has it. Nobody took it away. It's still in use.

I use it basically just for tram and bus numbers. It's more fun to say you're taking the dvaadvacitka instead of dvacetdvojka.
> Ethereum for instance had enormous amounts of money stolen or destroyed via weaknesses in the blockchain.

These weaknesses weren’t due to consensus failures or protocol failures, but bugs in applications running on Ethereum. If Ethereum’s protocol allowed arbitrary funds to be stolen, that could certainly cause a loss of trust.
set really low speed limit and you are reducing the deaths, thats the point. We don't have a perfect vaccine for flu either. You are creating inhumane standards that will lead to more suffering and you are ironically removing personal responsibility from humans by not allowing them to find the equilibrium themselves in their own communities. Thanks but no thanks
You can tweak some of the refresh rate settings. My experience is it's a lot faster than a paperwhite (to the point that now when I use the kindle I wonder why it's so slow), but nowhere close to an ipad.

I saw this video yesterday and one thing I wondered was, why isn't the company legally, and thus financially and criminally, held responsible for this disaster? If I as an individual dump a bunch of toxic waste, especially something that kills thousands of animals, then I would be held responsible in a vice grip-like manner. I never understand why if something is done by a company, or individual with large wealth, but at massive scale, they can simply get away with it.
Interesting, hammond organs had a similar effect due to bad key contacts and leaky capacitors. Simulated by Korg of course.
I know I won't spend a penny on a service like stadia or xbox game pass. Even if it does have good here and now offerings. Games are the last category of software you can still generally "buy" these days and get permanent access with a one-time payment.
I also don't like excessive line breaks and prefer longer lines. No way 80 is a good idea. I'd say even 120 is too short.

So what is the recommended style for line length in the Linux kernel?
As a big fan of RSS (I read HN through hnrss[0]), this is wonderful. It seems to be a nice catch-all for whatever websites rss-bridge doesn't support.

If any of you are looking into RSS, check out FreshRSS[2] (an RSS aggregator). A mobile client I especially like is NetNewsWire[3] (for Apple products only, but is imo amazing)

>If police unions defend officers from all accountability...surprise! They're not accountable to anyone. This means they don't engage when they don't want to and engage with unreasonable force whenever they feel like. We've got the worst of both worlds: cops who both shoot civilians with impunity and don't engage with criminals

This is hyperbole.
This is one of those questions where knowing the median value won’t do you much good. The true cost is highly individualized, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge that, yes, it’s more expensive, and yes, it can be more treacherous, especially if you have existing medical conditions you must maintain or that could cause you to become unemployed. To answer your question directly: roughly on average for families it is, yes. However, even that isn’t so cut and dry. For example, some plans just have a family rate, whereas other providers will offer plans tailored to family sizes. Anyway, for individuals, the average is around $500 from what I can find. It’s going to vary a lot by employer. Regardless, for the kinds of jobs we have, it’s usually better across the board. I, for instance, pay less than half that.

That was me, until the various recent lockdowns, when I've started writing letters to people.

Concentration is hard when I want to write quickly "just for myself", but force myself to slow down to make sure what I mail is readable.

It's a fun process, far harder than typing, but very worthwhile.
I think this fundamentally ignores what’s guaranteed to happen in the future: corporate ownership of… everything.

The only thing we own these days is our identity. That said, our digital identities are largely owned by user data companies like VISA, Google, et al.

If applications can run on the blockchain, and users have the ability to immediately and irrevocably “nuke” the personal information stored on the block chain, that massively improves on the centralized database model.
No, I end up with classes like that because when I wrap APIs the point is to simplify, so I simplify. Though that is a last effort if ditching the broken API entirely isn't an option - e.g. if it's a third party API we can't avoid. That is rare to begin with.

You're free to find Intellisense etc. useful. I just don't. I go to great lengths to have an uncluttered view of the code when I work, because I find it far more preferable to focus on just the code. I'm not against it in principle - I've just not seen any solutions like that which works for me. I don't tend to need to look up methods much; when I work on a piece of code I tend to hold the APIs in memory pretty effortlessly, so that's just not much of a consideration.

I spent years actually looking at implementing visual languages because I liked the idea of providing more contextual information and views of information flows etc. to aid development, but I've yet to find something that works better for me than an uncluttered view of the text.
yes really, and “could work” is meaningless. Speculation is not reality.
I Germany you pay close to 1000$ monthly too for public health insurance. It covers whole family, that is single advantage. However better treatments cost something, but mostly <500€. That’s ok too.

If you can afford the out of pocket maximum and monthly premiums, which I presume people in tech are, then life is pretty easy as long as you do not lose your ability to work.

I've worked in a lot of Europe and spent a lot of time working in all over the US too. I genuinely believe that it's down to the person. Personally, i'd stay in Europe, but one of my good friends (who did the same route) set up in Austin Texas. The compensation is a lot better in the US that Europe in general (but you can still find ~$300k+ in EU if you look for it). I didn't enjoy SF (downtown, not Palo Alto) and Florida at all. SF was dirty, both felt unsafe, and Florida felt very fake, etc. However, just down the road from SF (San Diego) was beautiful and a totally different vibe. Boston was also really cool.

As for the working environment, the general thing I found was that the US tends to have more people which are absolute experts, whereas EU is more general. If you get hired to do, say, firewall config in the US then you'd be an absolute expert on Cisco, and there would be another separate person who is an absolute expert on Checkpoint. In EU there would be one person who (whilst they might be shit-hot) would be 80% as good as their US counterparts, but on both Cisco/Checkpoint. Just an observation I had across several companies. The main things which drove we away from the US were the working environments - long days, and the general intensity. Also unsaid things like travel time in general being a lot longer, just because stuff is more spread out, than EU. I also found that a lot of the meetings were very confrontational, there was a lot of competitiveness/trying to make others look bad, etc. than their EU counterparts.

That being said, the time I got completely eviscerated in a meeting on purpose (to make the consultant look bad) was in Eastern Europe. YMMV, but of course these are just my general observations. It sounds weird, but being from the UK I missed the music scene a lot. The US people were absolutely lovely though, everywhere I went everyone made me feel welcome, even the people who look to tear you a new one in meetings 30 minutes later.

These are just some random sunday evening musings from someone who has worked a few years in both (some FAANG, some large, some small companies) in both. My observations are pre-Trump though, it does seem recently that there's a lot more division in the US these days, so the environment might be totally different now. I'd honestly give it a go if you're young, see if you like it. You can always move back. FWIW my favorite places in both were probably a smallish company in San Diego, and work in Malta. To choose any places to live for me, other than the UK, i'd most likely pick Boston and Sweden. 99% of the time the people you work with make the atmosphere though, so you can get lucky and unlucky, which is why i'm trying to generalise my experiences as much as possible. I realise i've gone on a mad tangent here, but yes it was totally worth it and i'd do it again if i could.
Should you be able to drive drunk?
Wasn't DeCSS held legal in the US for purposes of playing back DVDs you've purchased? Shouldn't consuming e-books fall under the same ruling?
I also add a mandatory annual minimum PTO rider when it’s “unlimited”
I'm an American who did the same, and I echo this. The compensation tradeoff was much more pronounced when I moved to Berlin 4 years ago. Covid and remote work changed this: you can now make more-or-less median comp for a second tier US city after adjusting for cost of living (and before accounting for quality of life).

Everywhere's still low compared to the Bay Area, don't get me wrong. But it means you either need to be a salary maximalist, determined to nationalize, to have a strong pull toward a certain US city/company for the move to make as much sense these days.

Still, I'd encourage everyone regardless of home/destination to live and work at least some of their life in another country. The merits of doing so are vast, and extend well beyond renumeration.
Actually I think that’s true of every country, EU, US, and elsewhere, to varying degrees. I think it’s much better in Western countries than elsewhere though - nobody would treat a foreigner as “normal” in eg Thailand, Turkey, Philippines, etc.

The exception is melting pot cities like London and NYC - where you are likely not interacting with the native population at all.
> ower than double vs eg Switzerland or Norway.

Norway? Really. Health care costs here in Norway are capped at about 350 USD per year. If you pay more than that you get a card that exempts you from paying for things like GP visits, X-rays, MRIs, prescriptions, etc. Anything you did pay in excess of that you get refunded in the next tax settlement.
Big-endian vs. little endian.

In general, languages differ in syntactic structure on the level of word order. For example, in Latin, word order a bit free form, things could be moved around quite a bit and still make sense to the listener. Probably allowed for some interesting creativity and poetics.

In English, I would say about a book, "the book on the table". In another language, it may be "the on-the-table book."

There's even a slight semantic difference where the later example somewhat directly gives the book the property of being "on-the-table". IIRC from my school days, that example resembles Japanese construction, but please someone correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a long time since my comp ling course work.
I recently bought a rowing machine (Concept2, "top of the top") ... and I'm very disappointed.

It's just not challenging enough (and I'm not very fit). Running/cycling (on a machine), I can easily ramp up the difficulty enough so that I'm sweating in 10 minutes. Rowing, I barely sweat even after 20 minutes (on max hardness, 27ish strokes/minute).

One of the best "time savers" for cardio is HIIT, and you just can't do that rowing.

> in DAOs, every vote resembles a banana republic: "90% voted, 90% in favour"

I've been wondering about that recently - for all of the excitement about DAOs and Governance Tokens, are there any good examples of interesting decisions being made via their voting mechanisms?

What are some places I can go to see recent votes and their outcomes?

> I also find the social issues of the US (unequality, racism) more disturbing than the ones there are in Europe.

I grew up in the US but have lived in Barcelona for several years now.

I don't believe that racism is worse in the US than Spain; in fact much the opposite. I live in a mixed-income neighborhood in Barcelona and see far more casual discrimination against low-income immigrants and the local Roma subculture here than I've seen in any major US city. The US has historically had really bad racial policies and there are definitely still parts of the country with a backwards view on race and class, but most of the US (and certainly the parts of the country where a high-skilled immigrant might move to) just isn't like that anymore. I can't speak to the rest of Europe, but Barcelona at least seems behind here.

That said, I do agree there's a lot more inequality in the US than Spain. (It seems to me though that's more about the middle and upper class in the US being much richer—the poor in Spain don't seem to have an easier life than the poor in the US.)

Pyramids were also built with a lot of effort. But in the end it was a pile of stones. Architecture was created when labor and material saving technology like the arch was invented. We are in the pyramid phase with the web.
> I've been listening to the radio for 20 years now and I feel like I've reached the pinnacle of what music is about

If you listen to the radio yes. But it's also objectively different. Music up until the 90's was 99% played by humans who had spent years mastering their instruments. There was something more "alive" even in basic pop music. Now you can just press a button and get 3 minutes of a repeating drum pattern and/or bass line.

Granted there's a whole lot of complexity in making good pop music (or "machine music" in general), I'm not downplaying that, it's just very different to (in my mind) the more "personal" music (having to work creatively within the restrictions of the musicians/instruments as well as recording techniques) that came before the 90's.

For example jazz is still going strong and constantly coming up with new exciting artists and music.
of course we want moderna trying to beat pfizer to the market! why wouldn’t we?

(agreed, we also want functioning regulatory bodies)
I want to take a moment to note what you're doing here. You're making a negative argument, in want of a better word. It goes something like this:

1. X is a problem?

2. But Y is also a problem, in my opinion.

3. X and Y are both the same, I think.

4. Therefore X is not a problem.

We can - theoretically - verify the correctness of PoW software by downloading the source code, reading it over, etc. We can also refuse to update, reducing ourselves to SPV security. We can internally verify the checkpoints using 100% objective standards. There are other things as well. This is not the case for PoS, where our "signature A existed at time B" has to be taken as faith, or evidence of things unseen. There is no internal way to verify the veracity of such a statement.

The fact that users aren't personally doing this, is not the same as saying it makes no difference whether they are able to or not. I'm not personally going to withdraw all the money in my bank account - that would be ridiculous - but if the bank informed me I was no longer able to withdraw the money in my account, that would not be suitable at all. The assurance that I can do it makes it so that I don't have to.
My experience with Firewire was that not a single peripheral I owned was compatible. So yeah, I probably would have preferred a few more USB ports instead of a dedicated plug for the iPod I don't own.
In Arabic, numbers from 1-10 are waaHid, ithnayn, thalaatha, arba:a, khamsa, sitta, sab:a, thamaaniya, tis:a, and :ashara. No monosyllabic numbers, and 8 has four syllables. And even these are short compared to the numbers in Inuktitut.
A while ago I would say you are tainted, but I've watched as my group of friends increasingly parroted every corporate media talking point, even when they flip-flopped constantly about a subject. They wouldn't see a conflict there and would deflect if I tried to point that out.

Now I keep to myself and watch the patterns, and I'am ok with that it is what it is, I love my friends and I don't think less of them because of that.
Yeah,my issue with being on call is that i can't ever really let loose if I'm expected to be contactable anytime 24/7...what if I'm out with friends, drunk, high, on the side of a mountain? Etc.

> You're pushing a narrative that spike-only vaccines are worse in the face of mutation, and there's just no evidence of that

"Pushing a narrative" is a pretty uncharitable interpretation of a short off-hand comment.

There actually is some evidence that the infected have a stronger immune protection to exposure than the vaccinated, and there are mechanistic reasons this would make sense, so I wouldn't go so far as there's no evidence for it. We'll just have to wait and see.
Something to try is to accept the lack of focus, and when it happens, just switch to skimming. One of two things will happen: you'll realize the information isn't that important or interesting, or something will catch and you'll become re-engaged. In the first case, you can always revisit the material in the future, if you come across a situation where it seems like it might be useful.

because limited liability. The solution, obviously is to recognize that they have limited liability and not extend them "credit". In this case the "credit" is letting them do environmental damage on the expectation that they'll "pay back" remediation costs. Force them to pay a deposit upfront prior to a mining permit being granted.

> When asked to self-report in a city survey, 25 percent of unhoused respondents cited job loss as the primary cause of their homelessness, 18 percent cited substance abuse and 13 percent eviction; only 8 percent listed mental illness.

Did they not consider that there could be a whole complete graph of chicken-egg relationships between these causes? Is this stupid survey really the city's response to such an urgent issue?

It is hard to watch people (journalists, citizens) run around in circles trying to find the cause of the homelessness problem in SF when it's painfully obvious what the terrible policies at the root of the issue are. People should be way past debating what caused the problem. Ultimately, it was incompetent leadership. But the people get what they ask for.
It’ll stop me if the certificate is invalid.
I don't know how it is encoded, but I certainly can verbally describe things relatively easily, but I also tends to have a mental spatial understanding of what I see, so I can move through a model of what I've seen and describe element by element on the basis of e.g. that I know how elements of what I've seen is connected.
I mainly worked for one big co through the 2010s and let the stock pile up, and it just grew significantly over time. I've reinvested a bit into basic things like VTSAX/VTIAX/VTBLX to have safeguards, but that recent real estate purchase was the first time I really sold a big chunk of it. (I worked for a few startups too, but those options never contributed meaningfully to my net worth)
So I'm a big Starting Strength believer, it was transformational for me (specifically the deadlift, it's life-changing), but in addition to the book the YouTube channel is great: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC5FaqTBy0c1jlRUHKu4SuXQ

Since this is a technical crowd, I would suggest firing up YouTube-DL and downloading every video from the channel. The content is so incredibly valuable that I could see them putting it behind a subscription at some point. Once you have it locally you can just sort by filename and watch all the instructional videos on the squat or deadlift etc.

preface with: I am not against trainers. I think they can be very valuable for the reasons you mentioned - encouragement, "managing" the technicalities, instructing your technique/nutrition.

With that said, I would recommend using a trainer in combination with at least one separate resource - like barbell medicine. I've had personal experience with trainers that pedaled pseudo science (or sometimes straight BS) as fact, or recommended methods that weren't aligned with my goals.
