Thanks for posting this Chris, I've always wondered this about people in your position who could arguably get top positions at any top tech company of choice but choose to work on teaching instead. I can't tell you how much I appreciate objc.io, I still go back the issues from 2013-2015 for reference. Keep up the good work!
I don't see you doing something wrong. But if the command ends directly after you enter the version, it means it failed for some reason.
What browser are you using?
Could you check the console for errors? And the network tab for the request?
Also, if you want to help me debug this further - may you use the "contact" command in the site?
Read the original report your report is citing: 10.1001/jama.1988.03720190003002 (excerpt: https://sci-hub.se/10.1001/jama.1988.03720190003002)

This reads like a thinly-veiled marketing piece for Nicorette (now owned by J&J and GSK) via lobbying -- four years after nicotine gum receives FDA approval in the U.S.

I have yet to see any actual research on isolating nicotine as the addictive component in tobacco products.
I've not read GKC but it seems applicable to professional pursuits too. E.g., "Perfect is the enemy of good" has the same sentiment.

Also, it's a curative to people of a perfectionist bent. Perfectionism often keeps one from trying something new.

Given the number of services that turned out to use plaintext or trivial password hashing (e.g. MD5), I would bet there are a bunch of services out there that do not effectively limit OTP attempts.

It’s been a long time since I did any work on a real authentication system — since before TOTP was common, anyway. I appreciated the post and found it interesting.

A really easy benchmark would be to check whether funding pays for basic classroom supplies (tissues, chalk, paper for assignments, etc.), or if teachers commonly pay for that stuff out-of-pocket. In the US the latter is common.
The same logic applies, you could for example continue to use a mask after COVID ends. It’s still beneficial in reducing flu transmission.
Work contract.

You can pick and choose the projects you want to work on.

You are paid day rate and much higher than permanent staff.

You can choose when to work. Spend the free time working on other things or travelling, relaxing.

Much higher levels of independence and freedom.

I spent a decade contracting and it was fantastic. I had the best life-work balance out of any one I know.
Why are you using Uniswap as a price oracle? Isn't that ill advised especially with a TWAP methodology, an exchange with a low volume can easily be manipulated by someone with not-even-that-deep of pockets.
Does this mean that Apple is using the same libraries they are asking third party developers to use? I used to do Windows development and it always bugged me that MS wasn’t using MFC and later on Winforms or WPF for their own apps. The libraries would be much better if they dogfooded their own stuff.

I took the pad of a finger off while drying my mandolin blade after washing it the first time. These gloves are a must whenever the mandolin is out.

(For anyone keeping track in this thread: the sliced portion has feeling, but no finger print, it all looks like scar tissue. The urgent care doc used a gelatin sponge (gelfoam) to stop the bleeding. Dunno if that explains the outcome)
Yewtu.be seems to work for me
Some people in the comments not understanding how alias work, If you alias ls to exa it's only going to affect the environment in your shell/prompt. If you run any command that relies on ls it's not going to be affected by the alias.

Also I prefer lsd or plain ls --color.
I have exa installed, but I don't use it as a ls replacement. Instead I have an alias that uses its git + tree view features as a replacement for git status.
If your focus is to just revive/upgrade it with more features, rockbox[0] might be a choice for you. It is open source so if that works for your model, then you may be able to get to hacking quicker than doing it all by yourself (though the latter might be a lot more satisfying).

If all you want is colours in your `ls` output, then `ls` already has support.

1. turn on colours for ls in your shell. In your e.g. .bash_rc add:

alias ls='ls --color=auto

2. if you want more or different colours, you can use the `LS_COLORS` environment variable. There are various pre-made snippets around you may want to use. e.g. https://github.com/trapd00r/LS_COLORS
I have come to the conclusion that what happens on the lower-level of the organisation depends on the attitude of the CEO. If he is a persons-first person, this will lickly trickle down to every level. The same as with a results-first person. You basically have two types of managers: those who stand up for there team and those who want to control their team.
Anyway, kudos to them for not mentioning Rust.
It's for non-techies to call in phone support asking for password reset. Easily defeated by social engineering but the alternative of locking countless people out of their accounts is worse for most businesses
Fantastic contractor mentality I also share.
I haven't really read any other books about habits. I've read a few different self-improvement ones though

I read it a while ago but I remember James Clear being a really great author in that he really explains in detail why something works and gives a lot of anecdotes.

It's also a really systematic approach to solving the problem of habits. His focus on systems really changed the way I think about managing my attention and my time.

IMO it's probably the best self-help book I've read so far but tbf I haven't read a whole lot of them.
Artists like Markus really give credence to the Orson Welles quote: "The enemy of art is the absence of limitations." It's incredible the creative ways people work around limitations of their medium, creating something beyond and pushing the state of the art.
Scholar Sets Off Gastronomic False Alarm (2001)
Suppose that life starting is one out of multiple hard steps needed for us to exist. And there's a deadline of perhaps a billion more years before we could never exist, if we didn't occur by then.

Then the early appearance of life is not evidence that life happens easily: all of the hard steps have to happen 'quickly' relative to how long they would 'naturally' take, or we wouldn't exist to observe this history.

I think the paper explains this logic, going by the abstract.

So weird to see this on the front page of HackerNews this week. I was browsing The Mod Archive just a few days ago and enjoyed this exact mod and noted how familiar it sounded. I added it to my 'favourite tunes' Youtube playlist too. My cynical mind thinks maybe there's some connection between my search history and stories that appear on my HN frontpage. However, it's likely just a coincidence.
The Rust Build System
Some time ago there was a post on HN about one scientist who made a simple organism to grow two heads by messing with the intercellular magnetic fields. No DNA changes, just magnetic fields.

There's a way to check this hypothesis without cutting fingers. Salamanders can regrow tails. So get a salamander, cut its tail, use some magnetic field generator to mess with the regrowth process and see what happens.
Deforestation is decreasing in South America, increasing in Africa, and has been roughly flat in most of the rest of the world.
Such bad judgement.
> Not just scandals in the sense of individual acts, but changes in thinking about patient rights.

The two are linked, there was an absolute wave of scandals in the sense of abusive (often systematic rather than individual) acts in particular institutions that were instrumental in getting people to rethink patient rights; without them, the institutionalized would probably have remained out of sight and out of mind.
Sorry, but this sort of attack is not ok on HN and I've banned the account. It's entirely possible to post substantive critique without stooping to this—as many HN users have demonstrated in this very thread.

Yes, you just need to know your stuff. I started contracting 2 years into my career. Best decision I ever made and never looked back.
Why not both? https://github.com/auxoncorp/bounded-registers
>The "stabbing in the back" refers to how they treat their constituents, and in that regard, my analogy perfectly describes the situation, and this is why they're both terrible parties.

Ok, I see that you think they are basically equally bad in how they treat their own constituents, but since their constituents want different things, I don't know why it matters.

Imagine a simplistic political model where the country is divided into two exact halves that want to exterminate the other.

It wouldn't make sense to switch sides no matter how ineffective your side is. If the other side is equally or more likely to carry out their plans, more trustworthy, has spiffier uniforms, better speakers, or whatever, that isn't a reason to support them.
Yup, π was in MacRoman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_Roman
One of my finger nail was wrecked last year and it looked horrible. I thought it would never grow back. Now I can’t even tell which one had been wrecked.
The spread of Delta is because that variant is more infectious and there is a reservoir of unvaccinated people. The CDC said vaccinated people can take off their masks. They did not say everyone can stop masking. Masking immediately dropped from 75% to 25%. We are not at 75% vaccine coverage even today.

Measles is an example of another highly infectious moderately deadly disease. Wherever we don’t have 97%+ vaccine coverage we have outbreaks.

Even today with the questions about Omicron’s degree of immune escape there’s theoretically a solution available to use. If 95% of people masked we could get spread under control in 6-10 weeks. But masks are a dirty word and public health campaigns have ceilings to adoption.
Definitely a win, for a Rogerian bot per se. Obviously I was trolling as a client, not going deeper.

One way you might encourage more people, from more backgrounds, to experiment with requisite trust to go deeper, might be: Show how to download into a single directory, which can be copied to an offline computer, and then "run" by opening some index.html in that directory. (I.e., to fit certain mental models of offline browsing.)

Is this a formal research area, that you know of? Even if so, my intuition is that some advances might be better refined entirely privately, by user-developers. Perhaps like early physicians injesting their own medicinals to test for safety.
Even better! I imagine the ergonomics will improve over time without sacrificing type safety.
I'm sure there are many people in the same boat, but I don't know that there could be the forum you imagine, not with our current cloud landscape. You're building a CDN, Netflix's video CDN is different from Akamai's is different from Fastly's is different from yours, internally and externally.
More mainstream; AWS engineers don't know GCP's architecture don't know Azure engineers' needs. And just right there are 7 different dialects of "cloud".

There's tons of interest, but much of the knowledge is covered behind corporate NDAs/employe and getting people aligned on terminology and technologies is hard because so much is hidden behind NDAs. The current solution is either to work for a big company where there's rigorous internal discussion or go to tech conference after-parties and hope to meet the right people at the right time/place on the Ballmer curve to have a productive discussion.
Just tell them the truth - your wife decided to prostitute herself to make up the difference and now you can take their generous offer of 60% lower than market rate!

/S

You will not work on interesting things, you will be shit on from every angle at that job, I guarantee.
Consider a bullet dodged.

If you insist on making bad decisions in life....
I would send them a thank you for the generous offer. You will compare with your current comp (screenshot bank deposit), and other offers (letter attached with company name whited out), and with additional offers I expect later in the week. I will be in contact no later than Friday if this works out to be the best opportunity.
Thank you for you and your teams time,
You.

Be sure to CC any hiring managers if you can (check interview invites). If they actually want you for a valued position, they will apologize and correct the offer. If they just want someone to pee on, they won't.
In all these cases, though, the immunocompromised person who is not greatly benefiting from the vaccine is at much greater risk of dying from COVID. The sane response for them is to be very very careful about any potential exposure, NOT to get exempted from the vaccine requirement and then go do insanely risky face-to-face activities that otherwise would have a vaccine mandate.

My friend is immunocompromised from chemotherapy, has had (I believe) at least 4 COVID shots by now, and just had to go to the hospital for monoclonal antibodies after catching COVID. Not getting vaccinated, then getting a vaccine waiver instead of the vaccine, then going and doing in-person stuff that would've otherwise required the vaccine would've been practically suicidal for her.
I agree, broadly. I'd rather have the option to have both if I could pick.
> I punched a nice groove around 3mm deep into the tip of another finger tip while trying to get tea out of a tea tube

Out of curiosity, how did this happen? Is the opening sharp?
My “argument,” which is really more of an observation since we’re not debating anything, is clear. Epidemiology, as a social science, should not escape the same skepticism we approach the other social sciences with.

Perhaps my comment is slightly off-topic, but I just like to leave a friendly reminder since I don’t find epidemiological conclusions under enough scrutiny in public fora these days.
Seconded. I also lost a fingertip to a mandoline when slicing potatoes. On Xmas eve, just as guests were arriving. And oh boy did it bleed!

My fingertip took over 3 years to regain full feeling, and it's still slightly flattened compared to the rest of my fingers. (I made the front page of reddit with an animation of the regrowth!)

Since then I bought cut gloves because I'm now semi-phobic about using the damn thing without them.
Easy, use a foreign SIM and roam. This is pretty common for IoT devices.

Here in the Netherlands we have the opposite problem: too much nitrogen is produced. So much that now the government want to buy out farmers in order to be allowed to build more houses. Being the second food exporting country may be related to this.
Space Debris is peak nostalgia for me. I've been transferring my little library of amiga mods from one computer to the next since 1991 and Space Debris is one of the best tracks of the format. I remember even trying to use Space Debris as the music theme for a roller coaster I was making using a toy called Spacewarp.

Back in the pre-internet day it was hard to find out more about the artists, as they were just aliases embedded in mods or at the end of demoscene releases. I always wondered who they were, and turns out they were most often teens from somewhere around Finland or Scandinavia, who went on to game companies as composers working on things like Eve Online.

In my limited (2 years) experience, the pre-sales engineer, "solution architect" is someone who knows the product and about 85% of the client's environment and requirements. Their job is to say "Our product can meet all your requirements easily. I could code it up in a week." The sales staff moves in and gets the signature, collects the bonus and they and the pre-sales engineers spend the next 5 days on a private beach in the Caribbean. Meanwhile the company's Customer Consulting group sends in a developer and tells them they have a week to understand the requirements and get the thing designed, built, implemented, tested and signed off by the client. By the 2nd day on-site, the developer discovers a customer requirement missed by the pre-sales engineer that will require at least 3 weeks to implement correctly. The developer's boss says "fuck correct and fuck maintainable. Just make it work good enough so they'll let you leave. We're only charging them for a week of consulting". The developer spends 20 hours a day getting something working then leaves the customer with a fragile hodge-podge that mostly works with ideal data as long as the users and IT dept don't do anything unexpected. The developer gets home at 3 am Saturday, does his or her laundry then on Sunday afternoon gets on a plane headed for the next poor schmuck who bought the pre-sales BS.
Please do not cross into personal attack. That's against the site guidelines and just makes everything worse, regardless of how right you are or feel you are.

> In all these cases,

In the second case, the person choosing the vaccine has a high risk of, say, a debilitating RA flareup and an uncertain amount of protection given their immunocompromised status. I can totally understand why some in this position choose not to.

They probably should, but this is not as clear-cut of a decision as for those of us with normal immune capability. No one knows the exact efficacy they can expect nor the amount of risk of side effect they are shouldering.

> NOT to get exempted from the vaccine requirement and then go do insanely risky face-to-face activities that otherwise would have a vaccine mandate.

Yah, I don't think anyone advocated for quite that-- just some middle ground where they can choose to assume some risk. A lot of us hoped that perhaps population immunity could do the work of shielding these people, but it looks like that ship has sailed.
Thank you! make sure you write me an email. I'll ship you a t-shirt :)
I hear this opinion (or something like it, basically that property crime is only an issue in the west because city governments are not harsh/violent/punitive enough) repeated often.

My anecdata: I live in a city where cops can and do whatever they want to people without serious oversight. Petty theft is met with both maximum violence and prosecution. it does not seem to have much effect on crime rates.
Could you elaborate more please? This sounds idyllic, but without any context or details, this doesn't sound realistic (or useful) considering OP's question.
That's interesting: I checked out one of the early Moomin books in French translation once (the first chapter or so in the bookstore), and it was strikingly blander than the English version. It was like they were phoning it in. (My French is a second language, but still, I checked the English side by side and it didn't seem to be just me.)
By the same evolutionary fallacy, you should always trust your gut feeling instead of thinking rationally, because the more primitive centres of your brain are more similar to the parts of the brain that allowed our ancestors to survive in the jungle.
Ask HN: Developer Side Project Progression?
What are some projects that will start very easy and get more and more difficult as you go up the ladder? Ideally these projects would introduce you to new design patterns/architectures and would be language agnostic. Any one know of a progression that meets these criteria?

That’s awesome you show students that, it seems like a lot of people coming into this profession are really intimidated by developing.

AWS can be completely down, or portions of it like Route 53. We leverage triple redundancies to avoid failure and provide extreme high availability.
I lost the upper phalanx of one of my thumbs when I was 6 years old in an accident. They could not attach it and never grew back. 10 years later I read about an American scientist that managed to grow back full body parts using some kind of pigs but extract... I wish that science was more advanced.
Correct. Protein structures often adopt multiple conformations influenced by the factors you listed. There are things you can do - like molecular dynamics simulations - to study / predict protein conformations in silico. But you can’t do that without a structure.
Haven’t most of the deaths happened this year? Sure we may have started off wrong but clearly we could have course corrected? Or are Americans too stupid to understand the risks and trade offs?
Ehhhhhhh I don't really agree with that. It represents what the people who care about that particular issue want. Saying it's the vanguard of the party, or that US parties can even have vanguards, is kind of silly. They're just too large and have a diversity of opinions.

The most satisfying times for me are when I'm part of a solution that helps someone, even if it's painful - it's for a good cause.

>> I will also note that we have consciously chosen this route vs. maxing out 401(k) or similar. We are not wealthy (in the financial sense) nor are we sitting on a nest egg or in line to inherit a large sum of money.

This caught my eye. Not maxing out your 401K is leaving money on the table. Money that could make your life easier later on. I'm curious to know what items/activities you'd need to give up in order to max out your 401K.
