really? I think you are being extremely unfavorable to the authors here. They are simply stating the results on blood pressure went down but in a non-significant way. There is nothing wrong with that and also they are not making claims either way they are just reporting the results of the study and literally describing what happened. Please enlighten with what claims they are allegedly making? that the blood pressure decreased in a non-significant way?

You dont need fade-in / fade-out effects for rate limiting.
Bots are obviously get to see images instantly once they're returned by the server as they dont need to wait for fade-in to complete. Because bots API is injected into browser internals instead.

If rate limiting is needed there is always CloudFlare way where you're literally show user "wait" and refresh page a bit later. This is annoying, but nowhere as much as reCaptcha fading is.
So what about enrichment activities such as sports or clubs? Would you timeshift them to mornings if we're starting at 10?

Continuing to tack them on to the end of the day would not only cut into traditional family time in the evening and but you'd also run out of daylight which for things like cross-country wouldn't work.

I would have liked to have slept in too, but I wouldn't want to at the expense of killing football and drama club.
On YouTube some years ago, there was a kid in Australia who made a series of videos where his Mum would try a different OS in each episode. IIRC, most were Linux distributions.

With respect to computers, people can learn to use anything. With computers, most people exercise little choice. Most do not care about computers or software (i.e., they are not like you, dearest HN reader). These things are just a means to an end. They learn what they are forced to learn to do what they have to do. I once read the majority of "smartphone" owners do not even install any "apps". This sort of indifference is not something the "tech" crowd will ever acknowledge, but that does not make it less real. There is life outside of "tech" hype, lots of it.

In the 1980's I watched many people who cared nothing for computers (i.e., not people like you, HN reader) use text-only programs to get things done. The lack of obsessively manipulative "UI" did not stop anyone from using computers back then.^1 Unlike today, not everyone had to use computers. Those that did used what they were forced to use.

1. I reckon it wouldn't stop them today either, if that was what they were forced to use. But we will never know. For a fun example of how things might have turned out differently, check out this Netflix series from 2018: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maniac_(miniseries)

A little bit of passive aggressive comments would have been appropriate I think.
I don't think "fraud by accident" is possible. Fraud requires intent. Mistakes are just mistakes, and yeah you will have to pay back anything you shouldn't have received, and sometimes there are additional penalties, but fraud is something different.

Then again, maybe the Netherlands doesn't distinguish between the two.
This is the exact argument for authoritarianism over democracy. Centralization is easier and often cheaper, but you have to trust the group in charge completely. Even then, the collective loses out on innovation and new ideas because only a small subset of the population is in a position to change anything.

Centralization is often a short term win, decentralization is a long play. Unfortunately, we almost always seem to chose immediate gratification which is why we see decentralization abandoned early, and why we see democratic freedoms being replaced by authoritarian control.
So people should stop putting ".0" at the end of it, at least.

If ".1" doesn't make sense, ".0" doesn't either.

Amsterdam is not reflective of Netherlands, that is saying like NYC or Las Vegas is reflective of the US.

"Non Dutch native working in childcare centres would mean their kids didn't learn Dutch properly". If those non-natives don't speak proper Dutch or with a heavy accent I could understand these parents, kids pick this up and it will influence their learning and future prospects negatively.

I am sorry you felt treated badly but that is not racist, a Dutch person would also get "fuck you" (rot op) if you ordered just for closing, especially because cafes close at 2am in Amsterdam.

You have to adapt to local culture, most people use debit cards and don't pay cash, especially not small items with large bills, if someone tries that, the bill is most likely a fake.

Calling to try to change resident registration?? If you could do that, anyone could easily commit fraud.

Some ghettoisation??? Yes, there are no-go areas, I lived there, try to get a taxi or uber at night going to the K buurt.

An enormous amount (like the average number of people living in a Dutch city) of non-western, low educated immigrants (>80% young men) are coming to Netherlands each year, there is no housing so the government is putting them into camps. This causes a lot of stress and criminality on the surrounding villages. Busses need to drive with police protection.

I was in Grade 7 the first time they closed schools here in Ontario. I certainly didn't get enough sleep, usually around five or six, maybe seven hours at most. The second time around was even worse. I didn't do work, I didn't go outside, all I did was mess about on my computer. In general, it was- and is- a horribly unhealthy experience for me, both mentally and physically. Although, I still struggle with this "remote learning", I've matured enough to get by. Now I'm in Grade 9, and, sure enough, we're at it again.
The LaRouche folks are deluded, not satirists. Probably even more deluded than the mainstream society they rail against, but definitely differently deluded.

Here are more of the problems the typical Ghazwan experienced:

* His is threatened to join the Hezbollah or another radical terrorist group. He refuses.

* His kid disappears. His parents want him to join the terrorist group. His girlfriend/wife too. His kids comes back after two weeks.

* Leaving to Europe helps him, but not his parents who are now held ransom, or need to pay for his refusal. Replace Hezbollah by State Security Service, the ones who also disappear people at will.
> It's amazingly rare to find gas stations that don't require prepay these days...

Interestingly here in Canada I have the opposite experience; it seems like only stations in high-crime and super high-volume locations require it. There's ~10-12 stations I frequent and only one requires pre-payment, and even then only between 11p-5a.

Another thing that got me the first time I visited the US, what's the deal with pumps requiring a ZIP code? I know the "trick for Canadians" (the three digits of your postal code followed by 00, i.e. A1B 2C3 becomes a "valid zip code" of 12300) but it seems like a pointless extra step and a potential privacy issue.
Only looming at financial and corporate systems is a seriously limited pool of data. There are non profits, collectives, employee owned businesses, etc that are not a hierarchical structure but I don't think they would fall into the pool of financial or corporate structures.

> At one point the internet was also a problem looking for a solution

1. The internet was a solution to a very specific problem. Go and educate yourself on what ARPA was doing, will you?

2. Crypto peddlers keep equating cryptocurrencies to the internet. And never ever equating it to Juicero or Enron even if all signs point to that.
Interplanetary distances. My usual use case is editing 16k hdri's. Gimp can't do this, it simply crashes or grinds to a halt. I also spend a lot of time creating textures with filters. Gimp can't do this. Even editing a 4k texture barely works. Also digital painting sucks, tablet recognition is still terrible, and the UI is even worse than Photoshop's, which takes genuine, conscious effort and work on the part of the devs. The docs almost always show examples from several versions back with a different interface making them functionally useless.
And it crashes. All. The. Time.

Even for ordinary photo retouching the experience is just worse.

Now darktable is a decent opensource alternative for Lightroom and parts of Photoshop for photo adjustment and if your aim is to make your photos look good rather than heavily manipulate them I would go with that. Krita is also ok for digital painting, although it has its issues.

I agree - we probably err too long on avoiding breaking legacy code: we are about to do our first deprecation in years as the old protocols are getting too unconscionably insecure + costly to maintain relative to our new ones.

But that's company code we get paid to be stable on. Very diff story for OSS we at most contribute to, we don't assume that's part of the social contract.
Do you think white immigrants from the US/Canada would have similar problems?
> the 440hz standard was only settled in the 1900s. A competing standard was 435hz for middle C if memory serves.

Oh wow didn't know that. Yes certainly a pivotal role.
Speaking of posting off topic comments in unrelated threads, I've been extremely curious about your ongoing arc-to-common-lisp work. Is there an appropriate place to ask about it? You so rarely talk about arc, but it's one of the most interesting aspects of your work.

(If questions like these are unwelcome, I can stop.)
Norway has many great ideas but this isn’t one of them
Very off topic from the original article, but the entire history of why we even used 440hz at all as opposed to 432, 455 (Beethoven), 415 (Baroque era), and everything else everywhere else is so fascinating to me because at a certain point you are entire semitones above or below what we grow up listening to as “in tune.”

I’ve seen some interesting stuff (mostly Jacob Collier) where the tuning standard is actively manipulated during a song. Definitely convinces me we have not yet even begun to touch the boundaries of what’s possible in music.

This style is indeed controversial but honestly, these kind of situations seem apt for such a chewing out. Backwards compatibility seems to be one of those things that people regularly compromise despite it repeatedly hitting back. For a database driver of one of the most popular databases in the world, it should not be taken casually. I wish more tools adopted the first rule of kernel maintenance - "If a change results in user programs breaking, it's a bug in the library. Never EVER blame user programs." (pp)

Business closures are the most damaging aspect.

The current level of 'restrictions' if you don't like the word lockdown are harsher than any EU country (except Netherlands) and the US currently.

The strain on Canada's healthcare system is frankly, embarassing. Hell, our healthcare system was embarassing before the pandemic.
Thank you kindly. I have not played in over... 20 years. My memory might be a bit rusty.

Quoting Dr Griffin (Jan 8, 2022):

We are clearly seeing with this Omicron wave vaccines really do work to protect people against severe disease.

(Review of a published paper):
Risk Factors for severe outcomes among persons aged greater than 18 years who completed a primary covid vaccination series..

The authors looked at 1,228,664 persons who completed primary vaccination for Covid-19. They defined this as 2 MRNA shots or 1 J&J shot. They reported that severe Covid-19 associated cases were rare and only 0.015%, death occured in only 0.0033%. Risk factors for severe outcomes included age greater than 65, immuno-suppression, and about 6 other underlying conditions.

All persons with severe outcomes had at least 1 risk factor and 78% of them who died had at least 4 risk factors.

So I want to try to put this fear in perspective. Prior to vaccines we were seeing 10-20% of people who got infected ended up in hospital and we had a case fatality rate of about 2%.

So we went from a 1 in 5 chance of hospitalization to about 1 in 10,000 with vaccination. Chance of death from 1 in 50 to about 1 in 30,000 with vaccination.
Not true. The legal authority can compel you with force to transfer your nft in exactly the same way they’d drag you out of the house.
Why? Honest question from someone with a radical-transparency conviction
Fascinating. Does this resolve the thirds of triads being slightly out of tune? Or any of the weird wonkeyness that equal-temperament tuning has spawned?
I’d Love to see you try given no resources other than what’s in your brain to build a Fortran punchcard interpreter from scratch.

I did think we learnt from that situation though, if not fair enough.
>What is the usecase for a paid VPN otherwise?

Added protection against ISP and local snooping of traffic, either for commercial gain or by some local agencies in less-free countries where such things are common.

Bypassing geo restricted content is also a big one, says for people living abroad who want to enjoy access to content from their country of origin, or content that is not locally filtered.

Maintaining privacy when visiting websites that use your geolocation or IP to correlate your visits and profile you for advertisement based on your (more or less) precise location for instance.

Or maybe you want some added privacy when visiting some adult or political sites whose data may be breached or monitored and make your habits more public than you'd want.

In principle a VPN is just another level of privacy protection, as long as it's one that can be trusted, which is probably another issue since apparently not many can.
"Not significant" means that the probability is >=5% their result was obtained by chance.

We've settled as a community on a convention that we don't claim an effect is real until it is supported by data ("statistically significant") ie. <5% likely to be explained by chance in your results.

"Significant" does not mean big or important in this context. It means better than 5% unlikely to be (un)lucky data.
Sure you can: 'We found this glow-in-the-dark sludge near a meteorite site. We injected this sludge in 33 healthy male human adults (Homo Sapiens Sapiens) and played loud music. A week later (with mean 168.5 hours and std. dev. 1 hour) they all died. Our hypothesis is that the loud music burst their eardrums and they bled out. We confirm this with a statistically significant test, p=1. We conclude all test-subjects are dead.'

Why? I think it's great, salary transparency, makes tax evasion harder, less information about your life's than is sent to credit agencies for them to leak or Facebook...
Problem with that is that either they have to have a Google account that they are willing to share with you or you have to make it so that anyone with the link can edit the doc, which is a big no no usually.
Now I wonder if inside the modern Intel processor silicon that register actually exists (and what's it actually plugged into?)
I was under the impression that modern reactors have much safer designs that would make a repeat of that much less likely, and then slightly different tech like molten salt reactors completely prevent meltdowns.

That still doesn't prevent leaks like Fukashima though, but that has had a very small impact so far, that I'd be tempted to even call negligible - especially if you compare it to the problems pollution causes from lignite plants.

True, there was never an expectation that a quake could hit to cause that kind of impact.

It's the things that come with running a server that everyone dreads: software updates, downtime, potential attacks and misconfigurations.

As an example, I think we would have more decentralized social networks if moderation was easier, so in a sense, these are human problems, but where the software hasn't caught up yet. So, hard agree that software should be easier to do. Servers are just one part of it IMO.
They didn't claim it was real did they? Just read out the result which was lower but not in a significant way. I've read hundreds of papers do the same.
No, this is just about what pitch to start reckoning from. The relative tuning of everything else is the same.

That's a fair assessment, but I can tell you that if you run an Acrobat from 7 years ago, you are gonna have a bad time from a security perspective :)

I hate subscription models too, but maintaining software takes time and money.
Say you add all that information to the transaction, to verify it in the future you still need to run the original file through the same hash function to prove they match.

Its common for image files to be modified, many times even automatically by the hosting service. They might compress it, remove unnecessary metadata, or add metadata for themselves. Any of that would break the hash, so you'd need to make sure any host you use to store the original absolutely never changes the file.

Then what? Well the image exists and you can verify it wasn't changed off-chain since the transaction finalized, so that's good. There's now an image publicly available online BUT a specific block chain says you own it, so that's also cool.

But wait, that hash isn't guaranteed to be unique so really anyone could make another NFT pointing to the same URL and file hash, now they also own it? And anyone could just download the file, so they own it to? And there are no legal protections for NFTs, so what was the benefit of paying to have one block chain transaction say you own it in the first place?
Thinking that lockdowns are a solution to anything, including a pandemic, was a neat way to drive many people insane. I won’t tell my personal… happenings… but I double on your difficulty.

just a nitpick: MySQL comes with the same default engine (InnoDB) for at least 10 years now. It is recommended by docs and it is what everyone uses unless they go out of their way to install some very specialized storage engine.

In my years of consulting I have yet to see someone not using just InnoDB in MySQL.

I posted this yesterday exactly because of the salaries post. It didn't get lots of attention back then but it seems that the post has gotten some sponsorship from the moderators.

The first one, the implicit concatenation, I can see. But the rest of the things seem like most of the time they're intentional.

Using parentheses like this to put long strings on their own line is standard practice.

I, for one, have often used this deliberately.

Yeah, MySQL is well known for weird behavior when it comes to SQL queries that don’t follow SQL standards.
Most of the time, we don't care about messages: we care about replicating (selected portions) of state among stateful entities. The language primitives we've settled on - variants on message passing - don't address this need directly enough. I've been exploring a programming model where state replication is first class. https://syndicate-lang.org/about/ Sorry about the prose style!
