My wife calls me a werewolf, I can't say she's wrong. I speak dog.

"Psycho" is probably a bad word to use. "Independent" could fit many of them. Too smart to be dogs. ... It's a spectrum and many of them can find places they fit.

There are dogs that you just can't trust. The ones whose greatest joy is being aggressive, and are independent minded or otherwise unwilling to listen to anyone else anymore. Or too stupid to understand, for whom the world is a terrifying place and there is nothing but cringe.

One of Rascal's puppy moves was, after peeing on the floor and not wanting to be pushed outside, a leap for the throat and bulldog "hang on and wrench" attack. That kind of disproportionate response is a bad sign. Lack of fear and "pain don't teach" are bad signs. Perhaps this dog would respond better to someone else or another dog or something but then again maybe not.
I think the name is quite apt (:
It's the complete opposite as far as I know, genetic diversity makes animals more resistant to diseases.

Humans haven't stopped evolving, what the fuck. We're healthier, smarter, stronger than ever thanks in part to easy access to a massive genetic pool.

Agree with everything you just said. My wife and I (mainly her) rescue French Bulldogs. They are popular so a lot of people get them without realizing all the health issues, then give them up once they realize the money and work involved. 2/3 of our current rescues have had the IVDD (spinal) surgery and are doing fine. One has also had palette surgery in an attempt to open her airway a bit more. None of them should be walked if it's > 75F.

We had another die from a ruptured spine and another die in my arms from a massive heart attack at 2 years old b/c of a genetic heart defect.

Obviously the rescues spay/neuter any dog that comes in. I wish I knew of a better solution, but we do what we can to help these animals since we have the means.
Having worked mostly in cowboy organizations, I just don't see how you can fix tricky network issues without access to the machines. And once you need access sometimes, you might as well use it always, because it's certainly handy.

Application issues usually aren't so hard to replication, but even there, sometimes it's easiest to figure out how to replicate the issue in a test environment by debugging on production. Once the issue is understood, then you can validate the changes in a test environment and push to production.

All that to say, if you don't have access to an equivalent of tcpdump, netstat, top, etc, it's going to be a lot harder to debug your system. And if you have a system that needs the performance of a Unikernel, you're going to experience tricky problems. If you just want a simple system, it's better IMHO to just run a minimum daemon system. sshd, getty(if you have a console), ntpd, syslogd, crond, a local caching dns server (I like unbound) a monitoring program, and your application. A servicable unikernel is going to need an equivalent to most of those and the debugging tool, so maybe not as simple as one might hope.
Anything biodegradable (in the composting sense) almost always does not last long absent significant chemical treatment. If you think current faux-leather technology is a step down from the real thing, then mycelium based products will be even worse. There is an inherent trade-off between biodegradable and long lasting products. What we can do is make products that are recyclable. In other words, engineer materials to only break down with a specific brand of artificially engineered enzymes that are not found in the wild. Unfortunately we are still a couple years away in terms of proteomics advancement to be able to do de novo synthesis with such precision.
One final note, they didn't exclude vaccinated individuals. So this would include people who were vaccinated then infected, or infected then vaccinated as well as people who were unvaccinated with a prior infection. It would be super sweet to see this study done on those sub-populations but they claim vaccination details for their subjects were unavailable. WTH!?
There are so many lucky coincidences there that it reads like bragging - unintentionally I am sure.

For example, I see no mention and not even a consideration of wife's parents - very convenient.
Not necessarily true with the new variants, and it won’t be true for future variants either. The virus jumped to wild animals so it’s freely mutating in unvaccinated hosts outside of the human population.
My best guess is that the power law governing covid epidemics growth poses a greater threat (in terms of costs and casualties) than slow evolving obesity crisis.
Did you know that the immune system reacts to more than just the spike protein? It will create a dozen or so antibodies against all the different parts of the virus.

If the spike protein mutates like it did in Omicron, most of the other antibodies will still continue to work while new spike antibodies are created. In contrast, if the vaccine-induced antibodies are avoided, immunity in vaccinated people drops to zero.

This leads to another consideration. As I understand it, antibody tests only check for the spike protein antibodies. This implies that if there are 10 other antibodies not being tested, then actual protection is 10x higher than the test indicates. Any antibody count falls over time because the body is efficient. If the disease enters the body again, it will just start pumping out the antibodies again as long as it knows how to make them.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. People with just natural immunity in Israel are 10-15x better off than people who just got the vaccine. As this is the largest such study and encompasses pretty much the entire population, you can eliminate common sample size and selection bias issues that happen when you hand-choose a couple hundred people to look at.
> I always get a chuckle at all the hate Electron gets on HN, or in very technical communities.

Oh so true. It is such an indicator of lack of experience, too. Clearly they have never tried to support a cross-platform application, because Electron is utterly seamless from Win10 to Mac to Linux, even for USB and serial hardware. It has shaved literal man-years off development of our primary application at my company.

It's like haters are just admitting how junior they are.

Really confused by Github saying they don't track stars. If they don't then how does it work? Surely that data is somewhere.
IMHO: This is natural growth without mentorship. You build solutions beyond your level and where other people are not, and then question whether they were the right thing to do. With experience you start to learn when to build, when to buy, when to delegate, etc. Its all part of growing into a responsible leader. Answers are not always clear but my "Gonna guess cause your asking" view is that you aren't working with seasoned engineering leaders who can help guide you. Which is very common IME. Good for you for questioning and thinking about how to evaluate the decisions you made which impact others. If you find experienced leaders to guide you, you may grow faster and with less anxiety. But if you do not, continuing to find ways to improve your decision making and think about how it impacts others will set your course for growth.

Some people don't really care about all that and just build whatever keeps them interested and then move on and that's the end of their thought process. You don't seem like that, so I would guess you are not a Charlatan, whatever the correctness of your prior decision(s).
Well you could just.. resize your browser window to preferred width.
The article is an example of twisting stats and data to make a false or misleading point. The author (who owns Tesla stock, according to the bio) is claiming that ICE cars are more likely to catch on fire. Perhaps, but irrelevant. The condo is not concerned with what happens out on the road. But it is very concerned about what happens while parked in the garage, and EVs are more likely to combust in the garage than ICE cars (at least according to some sources), which puts the building at risk.

I wouldn't be surprised if the condo board is also twisting stats to an extent, however the fact that Chevy, Hyundai and Ford have all had battery-related recalls prompted by fire risk gives their stance a bit of credence.
The report suggests Amazon is taking 34% of third-party sellers' revenue.

This sounds like a lot, but "revenue" in this case is the retail sales price of the goods.

Traditionally, in a wholesaler-retailer model, the retailer "keystones" their cost on the good, meaning they arrive at the selling price by doubling their cost. This is of course a somewhat antiquated idea now (markups are generally lower now) but it gives you an idea of typical gross margins before selling costs (doubling the cost would give you 50% margins).

34% means that Amazon is keeping 34% of the retail price of the product as profit. That doesn't actually strike me as particularly high. It's not low (Costco is much lower, with 15% selling margins) but it's not particularly high either.

The article goes on to complain about advertising costs. Welcome to retail! Are you ready to play slotting fees? End-cap fees? Promotional and coop fees? Most big retailers do this. I know of not-huge companies that pay millions per year, in advance, to a home improvement retailer to secure exclusivity over an entire shelf.

It's one reason why selling to retail is annoying (versus selling to businesses), because almost all big retailers are extractive and prioritize their profits over great prices to consumers. But this article comes across as if they don't know anything about retail.

There's a good argument that this kind of behavior is perhaps Day 2 behavior - the conversion into a big company that pushes for margins above all else. But it's not different from traditional retail.
The older pieces fell out of copyright. So Lego differentiated by making new peices, to stay ahead of the knockoffs.

At least that was my understanding in the mid-90s, when I worked in the toy industry.

I'm still conflicted about it. Though I can't deny the creativity on display at any LUG or brickcon, I greatly miss the simplicity. I own too much Lego and I've given up trying to rationally organize loose peices.
Ask HN: What the fuck is going on with Reddit?
Uh my reddit account is ~15 years old... (as is my HN Account) -- and I, as many on HN also are, a frequent visitor to Reddit; and I have a pretty good memory:

Fucking bots are going and seeking high-point/karma posts from the past and then reposting them to reddit and then also having additional bots upvote submissions...

Reddit is a circular nightmare of reposts currently.

Literally ~66% of the top page content on /r/all is fucking reposts from ~6 months to even 2 years ago...

> you could launch an army of battle satellites on short notice

You've changed the topic. I objected to your claim that a "moon base ... could effectively attack ... rockets attempting to reach orbit".

It CANNOT. Those battle satellites would take two days to reach the Earth, giving plenty of time for rockets to reach orbit.

> Moon military systems could have VERY LARGE lasers

Looks like you got some of that good weed too.

Your "could" requires magic pixie dust. If you're going to break the laws of physics, might as well have transporter beams too.

A moon based laser CANNOT prevent a rocket reaching orbit if only because the rocket can launch from the other side of the planet.

You are of course free to argue by metaphor. The metaphor of comparing modern military tactics to the age of sail, back when more powerful cannon made for a more powerful ship, is still fundamentally flawed.
plus if there was actually something bad in the first two doses, how else are they going to undo the damage without a third shot? After all yesteryear's treatment might no longer be a treatment at all and we might need to deal with that as things turn out to be more complicated than "Two weeks to flatten the curve".
How different is that from alpha meditation, where you free yourself from all thoughts, thereby entering a pre-sleep state of mind?
The only place I hear the “rags to riches billionaire” narrative is in articles like this one, using it as a strawman to attack. Signaling that these people came from wealthy backgrounds is a way to dogwhistle that they are the “bad” people, worthy of scorn instead of admiration.

Most people don’t care if these founders were poor or middle class or upper middle class or whatever. The fact that someone received a $100,000 loan from a family member isn’t the reason they built successful companies. It was a factor, but it’s ridiculous to suggest that it was the factor responsible for all of their success.

It’s equally ridiculous to suggest that the only thing holding other people back from becoming billionaires is the lack of a loan from their parents. Startup capital is easier to come by than ever before.
Your linked article is about fair use issues, which I'd argue is a much different problem, and much more of a gray area, than just outright falsely claiming you are the rights holder to stuff you don't own (and not paying out royalties after you collect).

I'm a realist. I told my parents (one retired but active and one preparing to retire) that they needed to get their end of life plans and elder care plans in place because I wasn't going to do it for them. My wife and I don't have children and are hoping to spend our retirement being semi-mobile around the globe. We simply won't be available to take care of them in their old age. I threatened (only half joking) that if they didn't arrange things and they got sickly I would put them in the cheapest elder home I could find an afternoon of calling. They're grown-ass adults. They need to figure out their life--not lean on me to figure it out for them.
Yes here are my new preferences regarding email comms and if you don't follow them I may experience emotional trauma:
1) responses should never include the word 'no' or any negative word.
2) responses should always include the phrase 'yes sir, thank you sir, you are an amazing inspiration to the team and I hope to be like you someday'

I am no expert but I do question the tactic of avoiding dangerous things like stairs based on unscientific anecdote of my own experience. Both my parents live upstairs in a two story house. My Dad still drives, which terrifies me. He recently started a drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles with my sister in the car who took over after a bout an hour, understandably. My Dad retired from work reluctantly at 90. They do a bunch of things that worry me but they are also 92 and 91 and living active independent lives. So there is some value in the risk taking.

I do think there is science to back up the idea that as your parents get older it is really helpful for them to have younger friends. For my Dad this came through work, for my Mom through friends who enjoyed concerts and plays. The point is to try to get them to have a connection with younger people. It's depressing, but my Mom says all her original friends have died off. For your parents it could be a hobby, taking care of grand kids, etc.
They can look, but as you go up the scale of complexity, at a certain point, only the master tradesmen will have a clue whether the work is good or not.

Any high-skill industry has huge amounts of problems with this — rarely outright fraud, but lots of problems with "confidence men" pitching mediocre solutions to problems, and conning their way into running the full lifecycle of contracts based on this. Generally they'll deliver something, but it's usually something pretty mediocre that only kind of does the job. The further a thing is from a company's core competency (and thus, the likelihood that the executives have subject-matter expertise), the more likely this problem is.

People can raise objections all they want, but there's so much "poor faith" lying done in our world, that, as a boss, it's almost impossible to tell which things are libel, and which things are a desperate attempt to warn you something's wrong. Rigorous "professional bodies" like doctor's associations help immensely. These problems are at their worst in fields where things like that don't exist (such as software).
That's the point of splitting Rust into safe and unsafe. If you're not trusting yourself with C-like danger, then stick to writing safe Rust. When you need to do something risky, then it will require unsafe{} blocks, which are a signal to be extra careful, and stand out in code reviews.

Also keep in mind that std is in unusual position, because it provides the unsafe foundation for safe programs. For example, you as a Rust user can't cause any memory unsafety when using the String type, but std had to define it for you from unsafe primitives. This concept of building safe abstraction from unsafe primitives is similar to Python: CPython is written in an unsafe language, but this unsafety is hidden from Python programs.
I never said that. I said exiled disinformation breathers are polluting HN because they were systematically exiled everywhere else for their dangerous views.
Basically the problem is the airlines don't want good flight search so they erect barriers, right? Airlines prefer to have pricing and route info be opaque so they can keep people using higher price options. So the infrastructure costs are about fighting to get the information from people who don't want you to have it.
Did your grandparents end up liking their new home?

My grandmother resisted going into a home for a long time. When she finally did, her quality of life improved considerably. She was much more socially active just because she was around so many people. She played cards, sang in a choir, and ate meals with friends every day. She even found a boyfriend.

She was too stubborn to ever admit such a thing, but I think she would have been happier if she had moved a decade earlier.
I found out that some fellow engineers do not want to write maintainable code, they instead want to write code that:

- follows SOLID principles

- follows Clean Code principles

- follows Hexagonal architecture principles

- ...

Sometimes such principles do lead to maintainable code, but, most of the time they don't (at least in my limited working experience of around 10 years). An example: If you duplicate code because at the end it seems to be the proper way to write a piece of functionality that will be easier to maintain in the future (and most importantly, it communicates clearly its intention)... well, that's a no-go for some fellow engineers because, somehow, that violates all or some of the principles they have read in some blog post owned by internet celebrities.
I do the same thing. Black background with white text is by far the best contrast setup for reading hands down, it's better than reading paper or e ink. The only thing entering my eyes is the information I want to see, since I started reading this way I cannot purchase a mobile device without OLED.
You may be missing the main point of the parent (no pun intended). Their proposition is that in reality the problem is not how you define a point, but that a "point" means different things to different people and thus cannot be abstracted. I deeply agree with this observation. There are exceptions of course, but my experience is that this holds in the general case.
This was my thought too. Are people really disassembling these? To me these things feel more like typical crafts/construction where you make something once and then put it on display.
How does it compare to Apache Age?
It's simple if you actually want to do it in good faith and not try to find every possible excuse not to do it: any citizen encountering issue and being unable to reach human support can make a complaint to a government agency who will attempt to reach human support using reasonable means that the citizen would've done (and documenting the process as evidence). If they can't get through it the company is sued for a certain amount of money proportional to its revenue as a deterrent.
I argue that there are enough edge cases and risks that make it not worth having centralized vehicle locking system.

Yeah, very much this.

Not to mention, if you want to serialize Point, then you have to know what its internals look like and what they mean. There is no data abstraction.

[Okay, so when you serialize Point, you can also serialize all code that will ever do anything with point. However, we generally don't do this (partially because of security issues). But it doesn't really help that much because whatever the serialized code produces when run has to be some datatype where do understand the semantic meanings behind its internals.]
Yes, writing maintainable code requires the ability to explain.

There is far far more to "communication skills" than explaining yourself very well, stuff like negotiation and persuasion and conflict resolution. Most of those are less relevant to writing code as much as to getting it accepted.
That's who you need to let go. People resistant to feedback are bad for any role in any company, and if they have their heads so far up their... that they think they know how the code looks for someone else better than that someone else, they really shouldn't have been hired in the first place.
