I imagine it does work decently in Windows…it’s pretty standard to have to flip a few setting in the BIOS when installing Linux on a machine that came with Windows, best case is to have clear instructions on what settings need to be changed.

That said this is also the very first model of a device that’s intended to be DIY repairable…tweaking some BIOS settings shouldn’t be scary for someone buying what is effectively the beta version of a laptop that comes with a screwdriver so you can change out its parts.
Are there by chance any similar tests on long covid patients using the enzymes Serrapeptase and Nattokinase? Or any of the other 30 or so related enzymes? Asking because Natto has the nice side benefit of binding to ACE2 and it is super easy to acquire. These enzymes are also Fibrinolytics.

As a related question, how is Japan doing in terms of long covid cases relative to everywhere else? They eat a lot of Natto.
OpenSea operates on top of Ethereum (for most transactions). The "authentication" is done thru Ethereum.
Thanks for the recommendation. I've just bought the book, but before diving in, out of curiosity, what's the link with Tony Blair?
"I think I’m going to start taking aspirin"

In the UK there is a large, ongoing clinical trial called 'RECOVER' to test different COVID treaments for hospitalised COVID patients. One of the trials included giving hospitalised patients aspirin. The trial was not looking at the treatment of long-covid symptoms (at least not directly in hospital patients).

"A total of 7351 patients were randomised to aspirin 150 mg once daily and compared with 7541 patients randomised to usual care alone. There was no evidence that aspirin treatment reduced mortality."

Just FYI most of the energy in Iceland goes into smelting. It's not excess the capacity has been expanded and continues to be expanded to power smelting.

It's also quite borderline as to whether or not it breaks even these days. Supply chain woes increasing prices have helped last year for example but before that they were losing money.

Show HN: BlogDB – I built an open-source website to keep track of blogs online
Hi Hacker News!

I built BlogDB to make it easier for me to follow blogs I enjoy and discover new ones. The idea was inspired by conversations I’ve heard here.

I documented the initial design and coding at https://modfoss.com/building-blogdb.html and have open sourced the code, you can find it at https://github.com/symkat/BlogDB/
Is it that hard to setup an internal CA? I have no idea what I'm doing, and I managed one for years until we moved offices and ditched our LAN.
This is key. I'm going to install Norton 360 on my other PC tonight and see what the process is. My concern is that they're counting on all of the senior citizens (I'm assuming that's their near exclusive user base at this point) who have been using Norton for years will accidentally install this thinking they're simply updating the program. The installation process will be very telling.
Note that obesity rates (significantly) throughout the country and a significant part of the south is in the "more obese" region ("above 40%" https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/prevalence-maps.html) so the national average can't be used to determine if the sample was overrepresented.
Federal judges must calculate the guidelines and consider them when determining a sentence, but are not required to issue sentences within the guidelines. So I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a downward departure from the guidelines.

I'm not saying I agree there should be a downward departure (imo, her pregnancy came across as a "Pregnancy Of Convenience"), just that there could be.
UUIDs aren’t particularly complex. In a lot of ways, they’re more convenient than using an auto-incrementing identifier. For instance, if you’re using DynamoDB, getting an incrementing integer is way more complicated than a random UUID.
Hey, if my boss wants to pay me my salary to wipe down some electronics, I'm game. Besides, I don't think they have a server room.

I feel like this is the issue with calling most software development a form of engineering. That term has been mostly adopted for prestige or to make it seem much more established than it really is. Certainly in some limited domains, yes, it is engineering and what you said applies to it, for example if you're developing software that controls systems whose failure could result in loss of life then you must be accredited as a Professional Engineer to do that work. But the vast majority of software development does not adhere to engineering principles in the way that civil, mechanical, electrical or chemical engineering does.

For most software projects including web development or CRUD applications, there is no known best methodology to solve problems. Despite how passionate some people are about extreme programming vs. pair programming vs. TDD vs. this vs. that, there is surprisingly little empirical evidence that one methodology is actually better than another. We do what we do out of imitation rather than out of solid and well researched engineering principles.
You can't definitely start Neural network without learning other concepts.
is it though? I've heard the argument, but to me it still makes sense as it is used colloquially. It is a discrete jump forward, thus if you are not talking about electrons and just the latin definition can be an arbitrary sized quanta if defined to an an appropriate set. a quantum leap between scientific epochs is quite large for example

also just reread your comment. I don't agree with the definition "small and random", it is smallest unit of measurement an arbitrary system magnitude can change
> why? i have absolutely no idea.

If you don't have a stable internet connection, that could be the reason - macOS sends a hash of every executable to Apple's servers before it is opened[0]. This caused a major issue at the end of 2020, when these servers stopped working and all macs stopped working unless disconnected from the internet[1].

macOS has also been updated so that syspolicyd bypasses VPNs and system firewalls like Little Snitch[2], so you can't easily block these connections now.

If you've ever done math competitions at the middle/high school level, you'll know that they are fairly poor at preparing you for more applied math. Same goes for Leetcode: it's great for competitions and recreational coding, but "real" software engineering is very different and is much more on the applied side.

Software engineering also requires fairly strong communication skills - something Leetcode doesn't help with at all.
Don't quit! I SUCK at those algorithm tests but frankly the best engineers that I've hired have not done a great job at them.

Instead communication skills and a willingness to learn have been much bigger indicators. There are plenty of startups that will LOVE to have you. Focus on getting a job at earlier stage startups. Create your own projects as well. People like seeing those projects to show that you're passionate about coding.
I think focusing on what cad tool to use is a bit like fussing over what brand of pencils to use as a professional artist. It really doesn't matter if you start with fusion360, Catia, inventor, AutoCAD, SolidWorks because these tools are all trying to keep the amount of surprise for people switching to a minimum. You will likely get to use whatever your employer has licensed and if you work in 2 places, chances are you will have to learn 2 tools.

I started with pen and paper and had to do the 3d part in my head, and working out the material resistance calculations with equations, no fancy finite elements...for context.
I am very, very bored with my life. I am not even remotely interested in anything I have done for the past 10 years. I can't imagine it getting better without moving "up". Which I have done, but I also didn't start in tech, nor do I have a degree (in comp sci, I have other ones). To stay "architect level" at a competitive company (not even close to FAANG), I will need to learn a language and pass an AWS architect exam in Q1. Both are very doable and stuff I have done before, but 3 hours barely gets me through a couple of algo problems in the new lang.

I a 1000 times agree that I could be more efficient at work - I think it's a cycle of burning out and then being slow. I want to stress this - I am looking for ways to be more efficient at work. I know I could be more productive during, rather than doing a bunch of OT. And as Sun Tzu said - no one wins from a prolonged conflict - better to do things quickly than drawing them out and getting tired without result.

Like marginalia_nu and hpsquared said, 30 mins isn't anywhere near enough. On my off days, I walk or run at least 45 minutes. On gym days, optimally - 10 min dress and drive, 15 mins warm up, 30-45 mins main lifts, 15 mins stretch, 15 mins skill work, drive home, shower, notes. This is what's needed for me to stay in shape. Also, when I work out this much, 8 hours is barely enough in terms of sleep, and then my diet has to be on point or I start being tired all the time. Not working out has the additional (short term) benefit of needing less food and sleep.
> Sadly, the answer is probably no (for the information leakage mentioned in the article).

Eh, even in large organisations of expert IT users, the internal CA ends up training users to ignore certificate warnings.

Sure, maybe the certificate is set up right on officially issued laptops - but the moment someone starts a container, or launches a virtual machine, or uses some weird tool with its own certificate store, or has a project that needs a raspberry pi, or the boss gets himself an ipad? They'll start seeing certificate errors.

IMHO the risks created by users learning to ignore warnings are much greater than the risks from some outsider knowing that nexus.example.com exists.
Might have been Terraserver? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraserver.com

For a while, Terraserver was the biggest database on the web

With 5 terabytes of uncompressed image data, Microsoft TerraServer is bigger than all the HTML pages combined already on the Internet. [1998]

Same. I've been working 20+ years and am now more management than coding, but I have never been subject to a leetcode style interview and have never subjected a candidate to one. I think they are poor predictors of value in 95% of actual industry work. Any line of business software, web dev, mobile dev, DevOps, IT, creative tech, consulting work requires a mix of basic technical competency, organization and communication skills. And good Googling technique.
How is it micromanagement? You're reporting to each other.
I think this was a feature common to all the Microsoft BASICs of the era. I don't remember if the TRS-80 BASIC did it or not since most of the screen time I got on one of those was standing up at the display computer at the Radio Shack about a mile from my house, while I had a lot of time with Apple Computers.

Apple's original Integer BASIC (written by Woz, natch) did not tokenize its input. I don't recall if it did any syntax checking at input because it was hard to get a hold of in the post AppleSoft BASIC era (I did eventually get a hold of a pirated copy on floppy disk that could be loaded into the himem region on a 64K Apple ][+ or //e but that was useful mainly for Woz's MiniASM that was in the part of ROM that was left over when he had Integer BASIC loaded).
Let's put this meme to bed. Tauri has been developed for two years now. People don't just write Rust because it's trendy. If you want to throw stones at Rust, there are many more substantial criticisms to make.

Our compilation times are long.

Those sweet, ergonomic macro interfaces are only possible because of proc-macro dark magic that tends to be very verbose and special case-y.

There's no spec.

Unsafe is overused.

Et cetera.
To add, I can see them arguing in court "Hey, if someone offers us say $21 billion, we'll start an auction between them and Google to see who offers us more. Obviously being the default search on iOS is worth billions."
Not bashing Solarwinds because I think they are a good company, just explaining how this works:

The board is responsible for what the company is doing; not for the actions of every single employee, but for setting policies, make sure they are respected, hiring competent people etc.

Today the SOX is already holding the CEO and the board personally responsible for financial reporting. I think it is criminal responsibility there. It is not much different to hold them responsible for the results of the company, especially if any of the accusations can be proven.

The interesting part will be the effect on changes in the way tech companies are managed. For example in some very large companies most people are hired based on criteria that don't include skills; for example in my company IT people are hired without any IT interview, they get points (in US) for race and gender, outside US on gender. If something happens and these people blow up some FDA regulated products (most of our products are FDA regulated to some degree), is the board be personally responsible for a situation they created? I bet they are.

There are also many companies where policies exist on paper, but nobody is respecting it. The ISO 9001 certification is famous in parts of Europe, it is mandatory for some IT companies but it is just a bunch of paper in a closet that nobody ever read. Is the board responsible for such a situation? Of course it is. Board members are not appointed only to have friendly meetings talking about golf, with people being board members in a dozen of companies and doing just golfing and board meetings, but to top level set the directions for the company. If you set the company on self-destruct, they should be held responsible for it.
With so many jobs there is no way you could do a good job (in a timely manner)...then the problems start.
That would be a violation of the real CA's duty to only sign certs that they have some basis for believing are correct. (This basis almost always boils down to "controls the DNS".)
I initially preferred JSX ("it's just Javascript"), esp. with Svelte oddities like `$$props`, but after working with Svelte templating for a while I now prefer it due to things like property shorthand and event forwarding.

Re: `:else` syntax, I also made mistakes (`#` and `/` were familiar having worked with Handlebars/Mustache) until I internalized that `:` meant block continuation (also used with await/then/catch).

`ls` seems to have changed (unless ls has distro specific arguments). When I use `ls -r` I get reverse order. To get sub-directories, I have to use `ls -R`. I'm running Mint.
Defaults clearly matter as evidenced by the multi-billion dollar payments that Google makes to Apple in order to keep it the default.
So if someone has Covid and gets run over by a train, is that reported as a Covid death (serious question)? Or are only deaths due to a medical reason (heart failure, stroke, etc) reported as such, since there is a possibility of them being linked?
leetcode is testing a broad range of algorithm design concepts. It's an intellectually rich area, not boring or "thinking in one particular way". And it's an area of computer science that indeed does involve creativity.

To get started, first understand that leetcode problems fall into different categories: graph problems, "dynamic programming", double-pointer techniques, etc. And within those broad categories, there are families of problems. So first, stop trying to solve random leetcode and pick one family. How about "Best time to buy and sells stock"? Start with the easiest one. It won't be that easy! Don't worry if you can't solve it. Turn to the discussion where people post solutions, or the official solutions page, pick one solution in a language familiar to you that looks understandable, and study it. It might take an hour or more to understand what it's doing, but stick with it! Make notes, whatever helps you. But get to the point where you absolutely understand how that solution works.

Now, try to write it out from scratch without looking at the solution. And then, try to do the next one in the family. Keep notes for yourself on what your learning. And eventually you'll have learned how to do some graph algorithms, some "dynamic programming" (it's a silly name and a bit hard to define but it's a category) etc. This will all take weeks / months. But that's fine -- your learning the material of a couple of semesters in an undergrad CS course.

It's fun if you enjoy programming and algorithms, in my opinion. If you cannot sit down and learn like that then it is possible that you don't have the sort of mindset that the companies who are employing these tests are looking for.
Gmail. Gmail doesn't have it. And as somebody who used Thunderbird since the early 00's, it was a disappointment when I moved to using gmail.com instead of IMAP/Tbird. But, the move solved other problems for me, so ¯\(º_o)/¯

Still wish Gmail had it, though.

EDIT: See below. It was an issue unique to my account
Of course not. Same goes for their general appearance. Just saying that there needs to be a way to rate risk. If the ratings are reliable and can’t be gamed then that is one and probably the best method.
I encountered a lot of free roaming (possibly wild??) burros in Corsica, but did not see any pigs during a few week stay in summer 2008 or 09.
I'm willing to bet most of these things only come up once in a blue moon. I really think everyone is interpreting this disingenuously.
You're right, but the jobs do exist. I'd look for jobs that are embedded linux based. If that's what they want, then they need somebody who knows how to write user space applications and are willing to learn a bit about HW registers. It's a way to get a foot in the door.
You download desktop apps while boarding a train?
Nah, I've seen it done successfully many times. It's really not that hard if you actually try. What's described above isn't even close.
Just cause one group does better than another is not proof that systemic issues don't exist for another group. In the article they cite multiple sources of anti-black resentment being the cause of D.C. not receiving statehood, I only cited the letter because it was small and to the point.
Russia is the second largest producer anyhow.

https://www.worldometers.info/gas/gas-production-by-country/

Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan (lowerest of them all, placed 24) combined produce less than 1/3 of the amount Russia produces.

Also wiki (not the best source maybe, but whatever):

>Gas for northern Europe largely came from the Nadym Pur Taz (NPT) region in Western Siberia, but these large fields are now in decline due to depletion.

>Since the early 2010s Gazprom has been developing replacement gas fields in the Yamal Peninsula area of the Russian Arctic. As of 2020, Yamal produces over 20% of Russia's gas, which is expected to increase to 40% by 2030.

>The shortest pipeline routes from Yamal to the northern EU countries are the Yamal–Europe pipeline through Poland and Nord Stream to Germany. During the winter peak Gazprom does not have the capacity to redirect flows to the central pipeline corridor through Ukraine, built for the NPT gas flow. Gazprom intends to decommission some pipelines, over forty years old with high maintenance costs, in the central corridor as NPT production declines
Companies run the world then, not Govt's!
Well, for you, apparently, it does mean those things. But for plenty of us, it doesn't. Why would I need an ORM/DB migrations if everything lives on disk? Why'd I need caching when I already run Varnish in front of the backend?

Point being (again), definitions seem to differ, and what you call "full stack" is what I call "batteries-included framework". Full stack simply means (for me) that it gives you a way of building frontend and backend code, but implies nothing about what functionality is included in either part.
I've been following you guys for a little while now, the work you're doing is so cool to me. Do you have any need for a Junior engineer with React/Node experience?
I don't think this is a particularly strong assumption, it is the same assumption you make about basic continuity of life/you being the same person you were 5 minutes ago.
Interesting look back. At the time I was programming professionally, I won't go into that because it add nothing to this story.

But, I remember thinking back then, "Why would I want one of those at home?". Little did I know those "little things" would eventually kill the company I was at in about 7 years plus all of its competitors except for 1. That one almost went down too.
I'm talking about the article, I have little to no insight on TSMC beyond this article which says things I find to be highly suspect.

there is an underlying agreement...just because it isn't directly stated doesn't make them not real. Social contracts arise from cultural norms and very much are a thing.
Huh, I was writing BASIC code (and even some 6502 Assembler) back in 1980. Somehow I manage to get my feeble brain to comprehend the modern web stack. I guess I must be exceptional.
The likely solution is that it is a unit translation issue. Apparently Sumerian had three numbering systems, depending on what you were counting, and they each reused the same symbols, some of them to mean different things.

Robert Best wrote "Noah's Ark and the Ziusudra Epic: Sumerian Origins of the Flood Myth" ( https://www.amazon.com/Noahs-Ark-Ziusudra-Epic-Sumerian/dp/0... ) in which he translates the numbers back into Sumerian using the incorrect numbering system and then retranslates them using the correct numbering system. He ends up with not only ages that make sense, but it also fixes the unevenness of the Biblical ages. It also sorts out the Kings List numbers.
Quantum does not mean "small and discrete", it only means "discrete", as in "quantisation" - fitting values into a discrete defined set. For instance in mathematics the operation of "rounding" quantises fractions into the set of integers.
The smallpox blanket givers are maligned now but they and their people (~europeans) did grab and are still holding 97% of the territory they set out to conquer. History is written by the victors, and it's questionable whether this outcome is actually beneficial for mankind / the planet. On the surface it is - look at all the tech! On the other hand the tech actually results in an ever growing rate of destruction (of native nature and culture, aka. whatever was there before), and that trend was visible from day one.

In other words, bitcoin & co. aren't the first toxic, destructive get-rich-quick schemes, and we as a society have shown time and again we're unable to really resist most of them.
But they chose to point to them and not to the source. That made me think that’s how they intend to release the code.
Tell your doctor about your symptoms and then ask for an ECG. You want to know if you have an underlying heart condition. Depending on what you find, there may be options that will eliminate your arrhythmias.
