I've been going deep into a mycology rabbit hole the last few weeks. I had an "aha!" moment when I realized that there are many edible mushrooms that don't require much sunlight. It's obvious in hindsight but I was still thinking of fungus from a plant-centric worldview: they're kinda plantlike and therefore kinda need sun. But they don't. Many (all?) of them get their sustenance by breaking down whatever complex chemicals they find in their physical proximity. Sunlight doesn't need to factor into the equation much at all. So long as they have a rich substrate full of nutrients some will happily grow in a closet. Again pardon if this is painfully obvious but it was an "oh wow" moment for me. I'm personally going to start with oyster mushrooms because they seem to be somewhat superheroic at their ability to break down stuff (even incredibly toxic stuff).

Also like I said I'm new to all this so anything and everything I've said can be wrong. This is just the general gist I've gotten so far.

In my undergrad computer science program, I implemented the rudiments of a very simple CPU using AND, OR, and NOT logic gates. I learned how to program microprocessors in assembly language. I learned how to implement a programming language interpreter. I implemented a compiler with a lex that tokenized its input stream and had a parser that built an AST from said tokens, and had a code generator that walked the AST and output a sequence of instructions. This was all covered in an undergrad CS program, not a Masters or PhD, so you don't have to be a genius at the level of John von Neumann to design programmable computational machinery from scratch using only the resources in your brain, because the geniuses like von Neumann already invented it in their brains instead, and good teachers at universities have found gentle ways to pass it from their brains into your brain.

The original FORTRAN '57 did not even have SUBROUTINE, FUNCTION, CALL, etc., for implementing subroutines. Those came with FORTRAN II in 1958, which was the main language Kemeny's original BASIC was based on in the early 1960s, but Kemeny changed FORTRAN II's DO loop to the easier to remember 'FOR I = 1 TO 42 ...'.

Knuth designed his original 1960s MIX computer using just pencil and paper, designed it to be easy to run programs using just pencil and paper.

If you yourself could not build a rudimentary BASIC or cut-down FORTRAN using only the resources in your brain and a sheet of paper with a pencil, you might be spending too much time working with overcomplicated programming tools that do not bring joy to your life.
Yeah they're called teachers. Some are good, some are bad.
I think this isn't a good strategy for the project, at a commercial level. They currently have a well define niche. Competing in a much larger market without a clear competitive advantage won't work.
Well this kinda popped off more that I expected it to!

A bit of background about this and how it was built: I started back to work this week after some time off over Christmas. This year the company I worked for decided to hold a creative week to help get us back into work. I ended up being just 3 days as we presented them all to each other on Friday.

I know this is definitely still rough around the edges, it was just something I slapped together in a few days. Conflating life expectance to where you are born is obviously not perfect, but again, only had a few days.

If anyone is interested in how it work, or wants to fix the things that annoy them about it, pull requests are welcome!

Hi HN, I am Ahmed. I was at the end of my energy engineering degree when the infamous oil price dropped and took the entire job market down the chasm. Then I had take the decision to study CS with a minor in DS... then COVID happened. Anyway, I am in my final year, and I have been been running a small VA and Social Media Management firm for a while.

Over this period, I have worked with real estate, property management firms as a social media manager, but I am hoping to move to software sales or data driven software development or in the unlikeliest scenario something that merges both energy+cs+sales!

If you are looking for a social media manager, virtual assistant, SDR or even software engineering intern, send me an email :)
The Impact of NFTs on the Art World
Wouldn't it be easier to understand how the brain works and transfer intelligence and consciousness into silicon (by emulation?) rather than try the reverse?

We know our bodies age and die whereas sustaining a computer for 100s of years via a part replacements is quite doable.
I think we paid around $2.7k in fees because of foreign cards. We also lost an additional $30k that month as we've refunded fully everyone including active customers that was bound to renew for real but another day.

The thing I find disturbing is how hard it is becoming for someone to bootstrap a business without going the investor-led route. Between the regulatory environment and the crazy amounts of money that businesses with big investors can offer to recruit staff even if neither the business nor the staff actually make any money yet themselves, in some industries it is almost impossible to compete simply by building a sound, revenue-generating business independently and from the ground up any more. I don't think this is a healthy trend but the economic incentives in our financial systems today make its dominance inevitable.
How do you write if you don't even know how to read the storage media?
Avoid Meaningless Binary Labels
Yes, single tuple values are useful for example for passing to a function which expects a tuple (because it might expect zero, one or multiple values).

The thing is, your example is the way tuple should be defined. The parenthesis are merely allowed (and ignored). Why? I see this as a mistake of language creators. But to be fair, it is difficult to make a perfect language (or anything really), and Python is pretty close imho.
In college, the international book was always disallowed and most of the time, the chapters and pages were just jumbled up. Nothing more.
Oh man.. I wasn’t aware the design is that bad.

When I launched M1 support in Lunar, István Tóth which was using Lunar at the moment, dedicated a lot of his time to port Lunar’s solution into MonitorControl.

He also created the Big Sur-esque native redesign that’s currently present in MC. I loved it and was kinda envious on it, Lunar’s QuickActions menu was always kinda useless.

I tried to adapt István’s UI choices to Lunar’s style in Lunar 5 but I’m still not getting close to a native design. I’ll keep this for now as a lot of people liked it and bought a license because of it.

Tesla's Next-Generation Model Y Chassis
I'm not a virologist, but I interpret "omicron has a likelihood of 88% to escape current vaccines" as being rather ineffective. I've not found similar stats for Delta or other, but the authors of this paper seem to indicate that current vaccines aren't great against omicron.

In Ontario electricity rates are one of the biggest political footballs. Every election there's a stupid electricity rate promise from every party. That's how rates will go down in Ontario.
Ha, that sounds like a bug. Unless you're a ghost? I built this in a couple of days, so definitely still have a few bugs!

If the professor had a secretary it's possible he never saw the email. Some employees like to bask in the reflected glow of their boss's high status (as they see it) and are very sensitive to perceived slights.
I receive that error as well. Specifically, after clicking the settings button at top of screen. Viewing on iPhone.
From my experience, this is true, but reward is not why such behavior becomes culture. Culture is ingrained by leaders who act and lead according to value organization adheres to. The key here is to have leaders at every level who embodies such value. Having such values baked into performance evaluation is how "reward" plays a role in engendering and sustaining such culture. It is about whom does the organization promotes and chooses to be a leader. It's not about simple salary increase or cash rewards, as such things don't last more than a few months.
> revision control of legislation and public caselaw

Even in pseudo-democracies, even in many outright autocracies, the information needed to build such a thing exists and is public. I don't know if anyone's built a git repo for all US federal law, but the information is there if you want to do it and it'd probably be a really fun project.

A quick search suggests there are repos but not with all the history.

I wonder if anybody has tried modeling real-world legal systems in a DAO. Probably too complicated, but I think you could pretty much cover the US constitution just as a thought experiment.
It’s a fair point, but it’s unclear to me to what extent these hybrid solutions retain the advantages of blockchain and to what extent they give them up.

I’m not at all an expert, but I’ve been wondering if a world where we all regularly use Bitcoin, but only via large, centralized L2 networks, would be one which feels exactly like the world of today, except (say) Visa or Stripe use Bitcoin instead of…fedwire? I dunno?…for clearance. And as a user, would that actually benefit me?
Elderberries are moderately poisonous raw.

I don't understand why DDG doesn't just hand pick the most popular of these documentation sites and pins them to the top when they show up for a query.
Email and slack work great for newbie questions. Wikis even better. A culture that documents in a central location would fix many of your environmental issues.

I think the implication is that it's Ok to sign in to iCloud after the installation (and enable all the iCloud sync services). But the login account should be local only.
I’ve been using DDG for a few years and rarely find myself using Google anymore. I don’t feel like DDG has gotten much better, but Google results definitely seem like they’ve gotten worse. But I could be wrong.

Either way, I’ve come to loathe Google. Now if only a viable YouTube alternative would emerge…
Fascinating. Just from the title, would have expected the total opposite: Adolescents not sleeping properly because they are indoors too much and on the screen all day. Also generally degraded personal hygiene (dental mostly) because of the later reason.
No one has any clue how to do this nor will they (likely) ever.

"Sweden has for at least six years been struggling with a tide of gang violence that has contributed to its shift from one of the safest countries in the world to among Europe’s most violent. Last year, there were at least 342 shootings resulting in 46 deaths (up from 25 shootings in 2015), along with dozens of bombings"

So a 1268% increase in "anti-social behavior" since 2015.
by that token, don’t trust any business. i don’t but i feel there’s a balance of ideal security/cost and ideal convenience. apple is not bad for that balance. compared to a lot of companies.

not a fanboy though i may sound like one. don’t get me wrong. i have my fair share of gripes with apple, but the way apple id makes my life better is not a bad trade off.
Every time some news about printers pops up, I see people praising Brother printers. Not a long time ago, I had to purchase a printer and decided to buy Brother one, since so many praises it. Seller included cartridges, but the printer refused to acknowledge the full black ink cartridge. It simply reported it as empty.

I was unable to find any way to trick it or to bypass that check. I ended up having to purchase a new black ink cartridge for about 1/5th price of the printer. Now I either need to purchase some device to reprogram the chip on that cartridge or throw it away.

Bottom line, Brother printers are no better than the rest of them.
The wild thing is going to be the moment the IRS comes around and starts asking people about their sales and it turns out many of the huge sales are wash trades inflating the value of tokens.
>Are you in the "they've had enough time to get vaccinated, so if they haven't done so yet let them get COVID" camp?

That's a harsh way of putting it, but yes. Fundamentally, the argument seems to be that kids will bring it home to vulnerable populations. Those vulnerable populations have had a year to get vaccinated and boosted. It is difficult to live in NYC without being vaccinated. I don't think it is wise or prudent to make policy decisions to protect some extreme minority of people who outright refuse preventative medical treatment.

Not being troll-y but...If this is the case, then things aren't working out very well. I'm not sure what the solution is, but it's definitely not doubling down on what isn't working.
In my (Australian) experience, the three main reasons cars get scrapped are engine failures, transmission problems, and kangaroos.

Rust is much less of a problem for anything manufactured this century. Suspension is pretty cheap to fix, it cost me <$2000 to get my entire front suspension replaced a while back.
You can join Gettr and contest written words if you'd like. I don't see the benefit myself, but there's nothing about the platform preventing you from doing that.
There is a significant difference between buying units of usable energy, and buying capital goods that produce and store usable energy. In the former, price increases are felt almost immediately, with at most a month reprieve while old stocks are used up (unless one has specifically paid a premium to hedge for lower prices). Whereas in the latter it affects the cost of new buildout first, and spot prices as only a secondary effect. Of course there's also Jevons paradox.
Or we can get away from the dollar.

Oil as an energy source has lifted billions of people out of poverty, so its value goes far beyond the industry insiders.

However, this is where nuclear power comes in: vast quantities of energy, with fuel sources not controlled by the United States.
Seriously the name is awful. I really think it hurts adoption.
The entire point of non-significant is that you can not say that anything happened

Authors are making an extremely serious mistake here and you shouldn't be pushing back
Somewhat related: Does anyone know how to report bad links/results in DDG? I had a search the other day for a MacOS issue and the top 3 results was a fake apple software site, super scammy. However I didn't see any buttons or links next to that result to report it specifically.
I have a T14 with an AMD CPU. Plenty fast, not hot and battery lasts about 6-8 hours. CPU-wise, I'd of course prefer the M1, though. Intel CPUs are not great in laptops.

I don't like what Lenovo has done to the T-line, but Thinkpads in general are still high quality in my opinion.
>i don’t agree. the conveniences afforded by using my apple id for text messages and phone calls while i’m on my work computer is invaluable.

You don't need to login to the laptop with your Apple ID to do that, you just need to put your account into messenger.
Sounds like a great test case for using a tensorflow-lite model to switch between both techniques.

The early part of life is the best time to spend money on travel and experiences. In the late part of life, one should spend money on the material things that provide passive satisfaction and don’t require too much physical effort. People often get these backwards.
You may have heard this trope before but mushrooms are closer genetically to animals than plants.
everyone that walked through the front door has been asked at least once to try the fingerprint mechanisms (as an unregistered finger) and failed (zero false positive).

Unfortunately, my wife’s fingerprint is scrubbed shallow from excessive hand washing and gets a false negative quite often.

Otherwise, one has to remember the orientation and angle of finger consistently to get near 100% of the time. And experience gets you there.

The part that I like best is the number pad gets scrambled each time you pressed a key while entering in your digits (4 to 8 digits): the glass plate would then offer no clue as to what are the most frequent positions are.

Furthermore, any shoulder surfer would be thoroughly stymied by a set of three digits to each of the keypad positions (of which one of the 3 digits has the correct digit, other two got randonly chosen).
Is this similar to WhatsApp's status feature? That'd make it much easier for me to convince some people to move to signal.
This is not about fallacy or frequentism.

You badly misunderstand
Gotcha. I was squinting forever trying to figure out how your model works until I saw it was being used in greatly inflated markets. Simply wouldn't work in my region due to the prices. There would be no profit opportunity for you.
Speed Android Build APK
This plugin automatically recognizes the unchanged module and replaces it with aar in the compilation process to speed up the full compilation speed of Android projects.The speed that you can experience is to build all modules like aar, while keeping all modules for easy modification, perfect!
Firestore has exactly the opposite problem - indexed sequential values put pressure on the "last tablet" and require the same tablet to repeatedly split. This becomes the limiting factor on insert volume. Random generated keys are better, because they spread inserts across multiple tablets (ie servers).

I don't know for certain, but I suspect DynamoDB and most other databases that can trace their origins to the bigtable whitepaper have similar behavior.
NASA's Chief Scientist Quits; He Has a Plan to Terraform Mars
I bought an HP Color Laser printer a few years ago to avoid the Ink Jet nonsense.

Turns out it’s not Ink Jet, it’s HP. Lessons learned.

The printer worked flawlessly until I went through my first toner cartridges (the carts shipped with the printer are intentionally smaller so you have to replace them)

I noticed the 3rd party replacements were $80 for a full set whereas 1st party were $200. I got the 3rd party. It’s been such a headache ever since. The MAJORITY of prints from my iMac fail. Google suggests the Mac drivers have a bug that cause OOM errors on the printer. Funny thing is it always succeeds from Windows or Linux. So I half bought it, and just put up with it.

Fast forward a few years (a week or two ago) and my wife points out that there was an HP update and the printer works perfectly! Yay! The color cartridge is basically empty and needs replacing. Worked perfectly for a week until the printer popped up an error message “non-hp chip”.

All speculation and anecdotal, but I just can’t help but feel like they’ve ended their charade and are actually being “honest” with me now…
Thanks for the compliment, I guess :)

I wish I could have kept the simplicity of Lunar 1.0 (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/lunar-5) but the monitor controlling domain is full of edge cases.

When you also add some automation like brightness syncing and support for external light sensors, you get what Lunar is at the moment.

oh well, at least it’s pretty
Nit: It can be misleading to show cumulative metrics. You have to mentally take the first derivative. And cumulative metrics never go down! (Guilty of this myself.)

I'd prefer if the chart at the top were daily/monthly queries. Then you'd quickly see their huge growth, but relative stagnation in 2021.

Most system changes (Create, Updated, Delete actions) are recorded and displayed in an audit log view for admins. As of the most recentl release, you can trigger webhooks upon any of these; Video example [1].

Changes to pages (where documentation content exists) do have their state changes recorded so you can revert/view/compare across versions of a page. The revision limit is set to 50 by default (I think) but this is configurable.
