It seems virtually all stimulants used as a crutch to counter anxiety, depression, physical pain etc wind up killing off a lot of brain cells. My concern with modern (incredibly strong) Cannabis/THC is that some regular users seem to struggle with withdrawal if they don't smoke their bowls regularly, run short on weed etc.
Ask HN: How much test coverage did your MVP have?
The average test suite (in rails) is 103% of the application code; i.e. a 10000 line rails app has 10300 lines of test code. [1]

Larger apps have much more, up to 300%.

Should MVPs be extensively tested like these larger apps? Should it be a judgement call based on the severity of what could go wrong e.g. lose money/data (very bad) vs an inconvenience like a broken link (minor)?

To those who built an MVP in <2 months: did you build out a rigorous test suite in that time? Or did you validate your idea first and work on testing later?

Does their crypto feud put 'web3' at risk? Or does the fact that it's a meaningless buzzword being driven by a zillion different people all trying to strike it rich(er) with no real interest in collaboration or standards or efficiency or functionality put everything at risk?
I view philosophies as necessary stepping stones for better civilization. Just because we have already progressed beyond a given philosophy doesn't mean it wasn't a critical step on the path to where we are today. And such philosophies are still important in areas that are less advanced or regress.

Hobbes gets a bad rap because it sounds pretty horrible sitting in the peace and comfort of the 21st century. But we have to remember that the general attitude of "I better kill him before he kills me" (a kind of fear) has been the dominant cause of violence for most of human history. And there was an awful lot of that violence (read The Better Angels of our Nature by Pinker).

Even violence that seems gratuitous is often driven by this fear. A gang leader is essentially riding a tiger he can't let go of, and must constantly generate fear to stay alive.

Hobbes identified this trap, and found an ingenious way out of it: redirect the fear to a third party. If I am less afraid of my neighbor than what the government will do to me if I kill my neighbor, then I won't kill my neighbor. And if the government is vastly stronger than individuals, it will fear neither my neighbor nor I, so doesn't need to constantly terrorize everyone going about their daily lives.

Then, violence drops low enough that people can think about things like voting or free speech. But voting and free speech make no sense in a world of violence and fear.

> Monitors are bigger than ever with huge resolutions, and yet UIs are being dumbed down to uselessness and alienating an increasing number of users.

Looking at the screen resolution data of visitors to the web apps I’m working on, I’m still surprised by how many people are on 1024x768 screens and even smaller (often more than 50%). Don’t forget there’s a big crowd of people on small and cheap laptops in the developing world. New OSes should also serve this group.
I think the best solution here would be to outright disallow (by law) companies from manufacturing devices in a way in which they retain more control over them even after the sale to the end user has been completed.

They can have either the same level of control, less, but never more. As it stands right now, Apple and pretty much all Android manufacturers have more control (Yes, I said Android too. Good luck trying to mod the bootloader itself or gaining access to the TEE)

This would be a great thing because that way you don't force any company to modify their app plattform or change their normal user-facing software in any way, yet those who wish so can do with the device whatever they want in the same fashion the manufacturer could before (and even after) the sale.

And how do you ensure that statistical tests on the original data set are INVARIANT TO THE DE-ANONMYIZATION PROTOCOL WITH RESPECT TO ANY RELEVANT QUERY?

That is WAY harder that it sounds. When you add public disclosure of mismatch between results on public data and private (full) data things are even harder.

Specifically: suppose an independent researcher determines X is true via statistical test Y on the public dataset. Officials must respond, and say "True" or "False".

A small number of queries via this process can be used to infer data that makes re-identification possible. And there will be many more than a small number of queries, including from adversarial agents specifically designing queries to maximize information gain based on previous (public) revelations.

This is a game, in the game theory sense, in which the goal is to exploit the mathematical properties of statistical tests and social dynamics to force public revelations of binary assessments that yield information about individual cells or sets of cells and make re-id possible.

Have you actually studied this stuff, designed de-anonymization protocols, developed re-id threat models, thought about privacy budgets in public disclosure mandates, and at last put your reputation and your customer's privacy on the line when asserting that your statistical methods are resilient against attacks? Or are you just a jawboning know-it-all anonymous coward without any actual experience balancing privacy against public disclosure?

To be honest, all of your posts read like "just stop writing vulnerable software and then there will be no more hackers mmmkay?"

What this boils down to is a set of observable factors being multiplied. Probably millions of people got the shot in August. From them, probably tens of thousands were overweight. From them, hundreds had diabetes. Add a few other factors like rough age and gender and you get to that one person along with all of their medical history. If we are not talking about the entire US but can know the state, for example, the task becomes so much easier.
In no way is air travel necessary for anyone to find enjoyment in their life or to seek new opportunities, even overseas.
Something that doesn't really work or make money today, like all the crypto thing, might probably follow the same path. But tech is now, unlike in 2000 or 1973, is holding society by the throat, it is hated as much as oil companies were hated in 1973. So i don't think they are going to collapse nearly as badly.
To each their own indeed. For me, as someone who uses KDE/Plasma by choice and Windows because sometimes I have to, it has been a source of humor for years and years how an environment literally called Windows can have such hilariously bad window management. No point to focus, no configurable window shortcuts, no send to front/back, no minimizing a window when its application is "busy", bad and inconsistent visual indication of which window has focus...

Yes, they cannot. Because the new UI is more or less useless and touches core functionality (i.e. interaction with HW). Maybe they were told by kernel engineers to not touch this part.

I actually work in customer service for a tech company right now. We do some days in the office and most days remote. Being remote is worse for productivity. For instance, when I need to ask a team mate a question, they respond in slack at their convenience. At the office it takes 20 seconds. Communication and collaboration seem orders of magnitude more difficult remotely.

Yes, client services can be done remotely. Yes I like not having to commute every day. Yes, I can see the number of tickets we close and remote is just more unproductive.

This tracks with what I’ve heard. We’ve known for years that cannabis negatively affects children (or at least that’s what I’ve seen plastered on the news for years). If this study didn’t control for age, then it’s not news to me.
Since the article and the study are light on the details of "persistent" Here's the supporting data's in a bit more detail[0].

Overall this makes sense to me as an individually who personally enjoys it. The whole point of getting high is to be impaired (for me). So it's not really telling me anything new. Like drinking, I can't expect myself to be 100% functioning the next day so plan accordingly.

The question is how long is that persistence and how much does it affect? Permanent? Doesn't really seem to be answered in a way that I was hoping.

That sounds like more work. How do bootstrap?
The reason it's not 'simply' is that you could manipulate that pretty easily too.
+1, context matters a lot. In my experience, the Dock alone is pretty terrible for window management. I use it mostly as a launcher and for easy access to files/directories. Its design works in macOS because it isn't the primary utility to manage windows there.

The center of window management in macOS I'd say is easy access to Mission Control (prev. Exposé). All Macs come with either a huge, multi-touch trackpad or a Magic Mouse with gestures to trigger it. I sometimes use my Macbook with a "normal" mouse— I've mapped all extra buttons to trigger Mission Control commands otherwise I wouldn't be able to effectively navigate my way around.

Moreover, full-screen windows are automatically made their own desktop, so one switches between these windows using desktop switching. I actually am just now remembering that the Dock supports window switching with a ctrl-click: I completely forgot since I only use it for rudimentary app switching and for windows it's all Mission Control and desktops.

This, is context at the OS-level and hardware levels, but of course there's also the user base and what they're used to after years of using their computers.

Saying I'm "literally incorrect" just makes me wonder what "figuratively incorrect" would mean in this situation.

You've made multiple comments under this article about how "defund" can only possibly mean removing 100% of funding. Sometimes other people use words differently from the way you do personally. You need to adapt your interpretation to their usage, not the other way around.
I wouldn't assume that it did. I would focus on its remaining extreme plasticity. It seems likely that you could do an enormous amount of self-cultivation via practices like meditation.

Other than this being an anecdote and doesn't mean everyone who drinks heavily will leave to their 90s, the quality of those 90 years matters too!

Though he became Prime Minister for the last time at the young age of 76 in 1951, he was plagued by health problems. He suffered many minor strokes and at least one that left him partially paralyzed for some time. He only stayed on as PM as long as he did because his successor was sick as well (Anthony Eden).

Don't know about you, but I would rather live a healthy 70 years than live 90 years but where the last 20 years are plagued with illness and thus lower quality. In that light, I try to minimize the bad habits that may result in poorer health and thus lower quality life in my later years. Not saying I'm a saint, but I don't need to drink every day or even every week. Currently I'm mostly dry. Saves a lot of money too!
How long do they persist? 1 day, 1 week, a year, ten years?

I used to be a daily smoker and was horribly addicted. Now, at least ten years after I quit, I find myself having trouble remembering things. I lose my train of thought a lot too, really annoying. I don't know if that was attributed to my cannabis use, or just my brain in general.

> The web is already open and decentralized by its very design, and that openness and decentralization is a major reason for its incredible success.

> It is the biggest, greediest grift in recent memory.

Strong agree, all around. But I also have strong laments about trying to better distribute, decentralize the technical potential we've already built. There's a couple rare projects like https://yunohost.org doing the honest competent work of making this power accessible, of sharing it. But there's a super toxic mentality that computing isn't worth doing, a belief that real computing is not for users, that users are only interested in highly synthesized Service-as-a-Software-Substitute (SaaSS) horseshit.

I want to say that there's precious few real examples to empower & enable users, to really decentralize the power-base, to make accessible. If I look a little further, I can see endless fields of techies trying hard to make their projects usable, understandable. But so many projects exist in their own particular tech niches. Even if we are talking general software systems, there's still endless fractal mazes of Ansible or Chef or Terraform or Salt or Kubernetes, different worlds & paradigms to compute under, with various points of overlap & disjointedness. I cited Yunohost because it's one of the broader efforts to provide generalized mass configuration of systems, to make a lot of things accessible, in a friendly fashion from a central control panel. But it's still just a super cheap hack, a bunch of preconfigured scripts for a bunch of pieces of software, far from real systems mastery. Overcoming this our expectation that users fear & don't want real computing, that they must have baby-food, is not a real sustainable paradigm, in my personal view, and it cripples our ability to make real advances, real innovation: we need real operational paradigms to begin to have a power base upon which decentralization & distributedness can begin. For too long we've considered p2p & distributed to be app level concerns, things for the app. In my view, the cloud needs to come home, we need real bases of computing to start from, & a willingness to have systems that both have easy-to-get-started paths, but which also go deep & invite in real operational working & reworking. Computing is still closed. We need to re-embrace & make computing work. Web3 is not alone in not fighting the good fights.
Thanks for the response.
I was thinking something similar. This particular cli is a client to an app i wrote in kotlin/java that tracks particular kubernetes pods.

There were a ton of hoops to jump through on both sides and then someone asked why I didn't just write it in go.

Well, this was consolidating some other functionality on both sides and I was extending/migrating the apps as we moved from colo to cloud, and it just... didn't occur to me, and we don't really have anything golang based, so no expertise or infrastructure and the migrations were happening regardless.

In hindsight this might have been better done that way, but I don't know that I've got the bandwidth to rewrite it all.

Distributing a shell runscript to run a docker image works because everyone in my space uses docker, and most of the teams are single language focused and most aren't python.

Its still an issue to keep everyone's run script updated, but maybe not enough to introduce a new language and toolchain.

On the other hand, if a single, foundational project is continually issuing PRs across the ecosystem that, at the end of the day, are not a result of changes that seem to benefit the user tangibly, then I could see it getting annoying for project maintainers.
We’re not producing cola anymore, everyone should use water instead.

SONIA is just one rate - last nights GBP overnight rate. LIBOR benchmark currencies have tenors, the future borrowing rates at different maturities.

They’re different things - so different that a “synthetic LIBOR” rate is now produced in order to help transition instruments that can’t rely only on the historical overnight rate like SONIA.

It’s true that LIBOR is being replaced (although a level 1 submission to ICE LIBOR was already based on value weighted averages from eligible transactions - it’s just that a level 3 expert judgement could override it) - but it’s not being replaced by something comparable. It’s being Replaced by an entirely different benchmark, it’s impossible to change some contracts to use the new benchmark because the new benchmark measures something different and lacks sufficient information to do everything that libor did.

Source: i inherited ownership of the system used to submit libor at one of the libor panel banks when i previously worked there.

I didn't see anything in the full text on the dosage amounts.
I feel like with anything in life, the amount matters. 1-2 drinks a week does not give noticeable long-term effects. 20+ yeah that might be an issue.

One critique is that the documenting must duplicate the name and type when it's right there. e.g.

// Function: Multiply
// Multiplies two integers and returns the result.
int Multiply (int x, int y)
{ return x * y; }

JSDoc, by contrast, uses the code itself and it's not necessary to duplicate the name.

/** Multiplies two integers and returns the result. */
int Multiply (int x, int y)
{ return x * y; }

I might recommend the addition of this feature, if I understood the intent of the project correctly.
I have my emacs config set up so that the left Alt key is meta, while the right one retains its original function. Think of it like AltGr on your typical PC keyboard.

> Worse, I don't think the other people are wrong: being in a different region implies being in a different availability zone.

Availability zones do not map across regions. AZs are specific to a region. Different regions have differing numbers of AZs. us-east-1 has 3. IIRC ap-southeast-1 has 2.

> That is, I've read the comments to say "they're not only in different AZ's, they're in different regions"

So I've read. The earlier example about STS that someone brought up was incorrect; both I and another commenter linked to the doc with the correct information.

You obviously feel very strongly about this. You've replied to my parent twice now. You're right that the parenthetical was harsh but I wouldn't say it's uncalled for.

Every one of these outage threads descends into a slew of easily defensible complaints about cloud providers. The quality of these discussions is terrible. I spend a lot of time at my dayjob (and as a hobby) working on networking related things. Understanding the subtle guarantees offered by AWS is a large part of my day-to-day. When I see people here make easily falsifiable comments full of hearsay ("I had a friend of a friend who works at Amazon and they did X, Y, Z bad things") and use that to drum up a frenzy, it flies in the face of what I do everyday. There's lots of issues with cloud providers as a whole and AWS in particular but to get to that level of conversation you need to understand what the system is actually doing, not just get angry and guess why it's failing.
