Hi HN!

A few months back I suffered from an elbow tendon injury (also known as tennis elbow).
Repetitive strain injuries (RSI) such as this one are common amongst workers or occupations who spend a lot of their time at the computer. I guess we can all relate to that. :)
My elbow injury happened because of mouse/touchpad overuse. I was frustrated in the beginning but this also prompted me to find other ways of interacting with my computer. This got me thinking - the tech has massively advanced over the years but we are still using a computer mouse which is something that was created 60 years ago? That's how Cursorly started.

It provides a more natural way of moving your cursor and it helps to avoid RSI. It's meant to serve as an alternative to a computer mouse.
The only thing you need is a camera and with a bit of machine learning magic, Cursorly can recognize your hands. As you move your hand the cursor will move along.

This opens a lot of possibilities. Now you can sit, stand or lay down and still move your cursor since there is no need to be in a certain position.
There is also less pressure on your muscles because you don't have to literally move or press something.
You can also click or scroll with a few simple hand gestures.

My favorite feature is that now I can use my left hand to move the cursor (I'm right-handed) which felt very awkward when I was trying to do it with a mouse.

Cursorly comes with 2 modes - Air touchpad and Nose touchpad. Nose touchpad is similar to Air touchpad (see above) but with a small twist - instead of using your hand to move the cursor, you can use your nose instead! :D

To get the best feel for it, I suggest viewing a demo on Air touchpad -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JBzG6yYkHQ

You can also visit our website at https://cursorly.app

I would be happy to hear some feedback on Cursorly and what can be changed or improved.
Please write here in the thread or you can always reach out to me at support@cursorly.app

Thanks
They make it pretty clear that they’re sneering at the idea of the “e” part being a hard requirement.

The advice should not be a rule of thumb.

Fortunately not every communication has for sole purpose to transmit information efficiently. Most communication indeed are not an elevator pitch nor should be BLUF.

Efficient writing style or communication style in general does not correlate well with an economy of signs. A certain type of communication, targeted to busy people for example, does.

Should I want to extend the article to absurd limits, it could read "do not write poetry nor prose".

Please DO write poetry or prose, we need it. Simply avoid it when your readers do not want or expect it (eg. at work).
All the search engines have trash. I retrieve results from a variety of search engines and mix them into a simplified SERP with zero cruft that can be read very quickly. Some call searching multiple search engines "meta-search". The main differences with mine is 1. it is all done client side (there is no remote "meta-search" engine) and 2. searches can be "continued" where they left off at any time. This allows one to avoid rate limits. There are always trash results, every search engine has them in their SERPs, but I find that the more results and the more varied the results the better the chance of finding useful, non-trash ones. Gigablast allows returning at least 100 results at a time. Few search engines allow 100 results at a time that anymore. Google still allows it but will not allow a user to retrieve more than 200-something results total.
This shed is better built than most of the crap you'd buy from the chain DIY stores. Maybe have a read of the article before commenting.
I'd rather deal with stateless CORS than having to muck around with CSRF again, though.
Yeah, I did put my hope in Jesus and turn to Christianity. I didn't consider myself spiritual either beforehand. I never did psychedelics or believed in anything supernatural, or believed in some higher power or meaning before I made the decision to believe in Jesus' claims. It was a decision based on evaluating the state of my own self, and evaluating Jesus and his words.

Though to give some background, even when I was an avowed atheist, moral relativism was something I could never abide. I always felt strongly that as intelligent beings, there was truth and objectively better ways of existing to be found. The book "The beginning of infinty" helped me justify that rationally, and also made me realize how incredibly powerful, rare, and valuable intelligence is as a force in the universe. From there, CS Lewis' "Abolition of Man" got me onto the idea of natural Law, and the "Gospel of Thomas" got me thinking on the timeless, and somewhat subversive nature of the truths that Jesus taught. I looked many places, but found Jesus' teachings to be uniquely valuable to understanding the state of myself own soul. From there, it was a matter of choosing to believe him on the harder stuff (CS Lewis' Trilemma came into play there). The feeling of belief did not precede the decision to believe, which surprised me, but is apparently not uncommon.

I'm glad I did though, and my spirituality (which I only developed afterward) has become really essential to my life and hugely positive for my wellbeing. The organized religion aspect is more of a support system and framework to practice it in, but quite helpful nonetheless.

The interviewer's goal is to evaluate the interviewee accurately.

More specifically: the interviewer's goal is to minimize (1) false positives and (2) the expenditure of the company's resources.

Meanwhile, candidates hope to be evaluated "fairly", which is in direct conflict with criterion (1). They also naively expected to be treated "decently", which is in direct conflict with criterion (2) and which explains why employer-side ghosting is so widespread, along with other abusive practices like piling on lengthy take-homes, etc.
You can have 2 Heroku apps, one for frontend with little resources since it's all static and one for API with more resources. Then create a custom Nginx config on the static app to redirect API requests and it should work fine.
Excess deaths by 45% would seem to indicate that the cause of death is simply incorrect. (Or it’s one of myriad tangentially related deaths: procedures not done, doctors not seen, hospital beds not available, on top of COVID related stressors exacerbating drug use and mental health problems.)
I set my cyclocross up with a triple front and a touring rear. The cycle shop questioned me on why I did it. I explained that the last mile was also 600 foot climb. The super fit kid working there was like "that hill is easy, I do that on my speed gears". I said "yea but look at me". He said "true". then proceeded to say he couldn't install it because shimano wouldn't recommend it (too many tooth delta). But he'd adjust it if I put it on my self. So I did. Basically it's a road front with a MTB small, and a mtb cassette in the back.

It's got 5k miles on it and works fine. Just needs little tweaks every once and a while and you can't do full crosses like Big Big. But it goes as fast and as torquey as you could please (or can buy).

These things work pretty well. Just learn to tweak em or get them tuned up.
Are you conflating CORS with some specific product?
Evergrande suspends trading of shares as it tries to raise money
Math is fundamentally a description of the physical world. Mathematicians don’t like to hear this because they have their own ideas about the platonic realm of math, but it is true. We can debate which logical rules or axioms to include, but fundamentally any math has to have some sort of rules for deductive reasoning, which carry over from observation about the physical world: effects have antecedents, with a causal link between the two.

Now we have gone from that to the present day when we have maths which aren’t yet found to align with physical reality. So I can see why people want to say that it is a mental construction. But still, even these abstract maths operate according to rules we derived from the physical universe.
You will never get an answer to that
your local news. Like local elections, the stories covered by local journalists are more likely to make an impact in your daily life. And they’d certainly value (and even need) your support more than the NYT would.
My best guess is, the influence of non-specialists who do research on their own, without the training to understand which papers are meaningful, which are fluff, which are wrong, and which are fraudulent.

The most informative papers are often behind a paywall, so the non-paywalled papers are biased towards these other less-informative and even wrong papers.

If someone should point to paper X, in order to correct a mistaken belief discussed in a public form (like HN), and that paper X cost $50 to read, many fewer people will read it to examine the validity of the paper in the first place - even if were correct.

While if someone points to paper Y, which supports that belief due to subtly wrong assumptions, but that paper is free to read, then many more people are likely to look at it. And without the training or experience to identify the wrong assumptions.

None of this requires our "Joe Rogan" to hide true science and research - paywalls already do that.
Is this common among immigrant communities? For example do Vietnamese or Indian or Nigerian communities exist to give each other exclusive support on finding jobs or other such advantages?
I would assume that most of the people who die of fentanyl poisoning don't have life insurance.
The science in the paper is fairly interesting. It observes that:

1) Certain types of mutations are favored by different host biologies. In other words, in humans, you would tend to see one type of coding substitution, in mice, pigs, bats, etc. you'd see another type of coding substitution. The paper gives specific mechanisms that underly this biases; I'm not an expert in these, so I can't say for sure if they are correct, but it the mechanisms as proposed make sense on a first read-through.

2) The early omicron variants have a set of mutations that would be consistent with evolution in a non-human host, overlapping most strongly with mice biology.

3) Perhaps even more significantly, _later_ omicron variants that have spread through human populations have picked up mutations that are once again more consistent with human biology. So the paper manages to show both positive and negative data toward their hypothesis, which makes it stronger.

For the TL;DR crowd, figure 3 summarizes this pretty well.

To analogize this in computer terms, it's as if someone was tracing the evolution of memes by observing the types of compression artifacts introduced in various re-compressions of the meme. For example, JPEG might introduce artifacts related to DCT math, whereas JPEG-2000 would introduce artifacts related to wavelet math. The analysis shows that the artifacts of this new Omicron meme has compression artifacts consistent with, say, Wavelet compression up until it jumped to being shared by JPEG-users, at which point newer modifications to the Omicron 'meme' show JPEG-consistent artifacts.

That's basically the scientific core of the paper. So, to contest the validity of the paper, I think it would be helpful to find citations that dispute the observation that mutations accumulate with a certain bias based on the host biology, rather than whattaboutism pointing to other hypotheses and leaving it at "there are other alternative explanations" therefore this paper is not interesting.

So, while I don't dispute your statement that there are other alternative explanations, what I would really like to see are comments addressing the core scientific thesis of the paper, which is that certain mutations appear more frequently in other host biologies; and that the first omicron cases showed a preponderance of these differently-biased mutations; and that since it has been circulating in humans, the later mutations are once again consistent with a human host.

At the very least, I thought it was a very interesting analysis, as I had never seen the molecular bias of mutations used as a proxy for host biology before. If this is true, then viruses that can spread through alternate host biologies would gain a diversity of mutations that would be less available co-evolving with a single host, which could lead to evolutionary advantages over viruses that are unable to hop between hosts.

That blog post put into words a sentiment that had been around for quite a while.
That doesn't really seem to contradict the important part of the parent's argument: that the researchers went into the caves in question. I have no idea if that's true, but how far away the caves are seems like a quibble that's fairly irrelevant.

To be fair, the pregnant woman isn't a mother yet - unless she has other children. She's deciding whether or not she wants to (or can!) cope with pregnancy and the hardships involved. She's deciding whether or not to become a mother or bring another child into the world.

And yeah, it can look like "I don't feel like it" to a casual observer, but then again, it really isn't the casual observer's business. They won't know if it was planned or the result of failed birth control, if the father was/is abusive, and a myriad of other things.

And to be absolutely clear: People would try to tell me "I didn't feel like it" - nevermind that I've never wanted children. I'd have been sterilized years ago if it were readily available and cheap in the US.
I’ve know people to read or listen to Feeling Good in similar circumstances and find relief. Given that you are already seeing a therapist, this may help accelerate that transition from surviving to thriving. It’s a journey taken one step at a time, sometimes forward and sometimes backward. Being kind to yourself and giving yourself lots of time to go beyond the surviving state gives one the best chance. I wish you all the best in the journey.
I use TickTick to manage my daily tasks, it also comes with a habit tracker and you can even set reminders for your habits, for ex. Workout time, diet check, meditation time, everything is synced to cloud and the free tier has enough features for a normal user. Moreover the pomodoro timer and time tracking features it offers are a plus and it just gets so easy having all these features in a single application.

> Roberts had asked the Director of the Administrative Office, who serves as the secretary of the Judicial Conference, to present the issue after members of Congress from both parties complained that a quarter of all patent cases in the nation are concentrated before a single judge in Waco, Texas.
This is not true in every state. Abortion is in the process of being outlawed in United States. Texas outlawed it. Supreme court is hostile to it for religious reasons.
Are you sure you didn't just spell it wrong? "Addams Family" brings that up right away on Prime Video for me. Though it would be nice if the search was able to deal with errors like that.
Or Java was actually created by C++ developers that kept their habits.

Just like JEE was originally written in Objective-C during the OpenSTEP days as the Distributed Objects Everywhere framework, and then ported to Java afterwards.
Assuming restrictions on unvaccinated are reducing their rate of exposure, is this result that unexpected?

Edit: While I personally don’t support broad restrictions, I’d actually argue this is evidence that the restrictions are making an impact.
Most of your posts on HN amount to guilting people and accusing them of things, mixed with heavy doses of self-validation. (Earlier today you were starving in a street because of capitalism, no?) So the idea that someone could feel both guilt and relief at the same time shouldn't be foreign territory.
Young folks take heed of these stories.

It is healthy to be self aware about outcomes vs just indulging, but I am not longer so worried.

On my best projects, I've done the first 90% so that a great many other can collective do the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th 90%s :). Without being "goal oriented" you can feel good about unlocking that part that would be too annoying for others, and they in turn can do the finishing work that wouldn't be fun for you.

Don't feel like you're not doing important work just because others are slotting in the keystones.
As for REPL driven development, it's not about typing code at a REPL. This video provides a pretty good example of working at a REPL in Clojure. Note that with the exception of one doc reference at the beginning, all code is typed directly into a file buffer. The editor provides shortcuts to send various forms to the REPL for evaluation.

I'm surprised to see so many other commenters in this same situation. Thanks for posting this, and I hope things work out for the best
The GP wasn’t saying go out and kill yourself because you are definitely condemned. They were highlighting that you still have an extremely elevated chance of having cancer. If you got into your car and found out you had a 10% chance of being in a fatal accident, would you not worry? Sure, there is a 90% probability you’ll be fine, but the probability for most other people is 99.999%. Pretending like there isn’t a potential issue is dangerous and willful ignorance.
Ah yeah that's how my friend described my first house warming... "A giant melting pot"

I actually have the exact opposite experience. I have tried multiple different brands, all of which work JUST FINE with any other device, Android, internet connected devices, even my iPhones will work in every single room of my house.

Literally nothing I can do can make every HomePod on my network “just work”.

I would pay literally twice the amount of money for a HomePod with a fucking Ethernet port. Siri itself works amazingly well with it: when it can communicate.

The dream is to be able to wirelessly and effortlessly play music throughout my home, but I’m about to just give the fucking HomePods away and just wire speakers to every room in the house, even if it does cost more, it’ll actually fucking WORK.
It would be helpful if these articles/threads included:

To educate yourself about what ISO C++ companies are actually doing with the language.

The reference to Rust was just an example on how such members are also looking for alternatives, other big names are looking into Swift, C#, whatever.

Meanwhile clang crawls along on its support for newer ISO C++ features, as the biggest contributors now have their focus elsewhere.
A advantage to having standard interview questions. Plus the questions we ask lend themselves to extensions (also predefined) so you can still see how they reason about and solve those. And given that our interviewers are familiar with them, we can calibrate across many candidates. We also have a pool of people who maintain the standard interview questions.

Precompiling C headers is almost never useful. It gives essentially no benefit (since compiling most C headers is fast) with more binaries to worry about. I only bother to do it for especially slow libraries in C++.
>Here's someone complaining $200,000 is not enough.

I don't think they're complaining that $200k isn't enough; they're complaining that it's unfair for them not to get a stimulus cheque when they pay a lot of taxes.

As a founder who strugglews with concentration, I found that your insight is gold.
It doesn't :( I'm tempted to edit the article and add an explanation but it'll be slashed as "original research". OP's video explains the concept well however.
This sounds like a really huge number and it is.

However when you compare it to the total world energy consumption, it is less than 0.1%.

Looking at this data set [1], the total energy consumption in the world was around 160,000 Thw.

The problem is that soon enough, all these mediocre and wannabe companies started copying the FAANG process, thinking: "If we interview like FAANG, we must be like FAANG. Or at least candidates will think we're like FAANG." And: "If your process rejects 99 percent of all applications, then that mean we're hiring the top 1 percent."

Which is basically how the LC craze got started.
That’s completely normal practice, I’m not sure why this is a news item.

Could we expect less spotty coverage with 5G?
My biggest gripe with 4G is not its speed but rather how frequent I lose signal. The instances where I need speeds as fast as what 5G offers are also rather rare. To add to that, the cost of cellular data isn't noticeably getting cheaper so video streaming with 5G is surely going to be expensive. Given that, wouldn't it be more difficult to implement wider coverage with 5G compared to 4G since the former needs more sparsely distributed nodes?
This is such a block-headed view and I hope no one reading will actually take it to heart. Mens emotions and mental health are just as valid as a woman’s. Absolutely hypocritical and dangerous viewpoint to hold.
One thing everyone seems to be overlooking is that "quick answers" (or whatever they are called) and the accompanying "related questions" are very good and Google seems to be optimizing for them for the most part.

I agree, Google is no longer good for technical questions or specific queries (like copy/pasting errors messages) but I imagine they crunched the numbers and found that they don't bring much revenue anyway
