I think the word 'principles' is leading to a bit of confusion here. I used that word because I was referencing https://www.ycombinator.com/principles, but I don't mean moral precepts, I mean YC's investment theses. These, for example:

"Y Combinator’s goal is to cause there to be more startups, by helping founders to start them."

"YC’s value is the number of startups we help times how much we help them."

The point is that funding new startups in the same markets as previous startups it funded is a consequence of YC's model. Not to do it would be self-contradictory.
Even for EEG the p-values were 0.02, 0.04, 0.07, and are not significant after applying their preregistered multiple comparison adjustment.

IMO a more interesting outcome to measure is the quantity of bad outcomes. Assuming that almost all poor mothers take care of their kids, and I'd think $350/month would help the worst-off kids of low income mothers a lot more than the average kid. It would also be nice to see how "low income" is defined for this study.
I used to use this when freelancing and a big deadline was approaching, I found it very helpful. It felt like I could get at least twice as much done in a day.

However I stopped using it after getting into a minor motorbike accident. Another motorbike was driving on the shoulder (pretty typical in Thailand) and I didn't spot her while turning at an intersection, even after checking both directions. The tunnel vision side-effect is no joke!
It seems like the devices would insulate the server-farm. That might not be worth it, because you'd need extra cooling to offset the higher insulation.
I managed to make Nova work for some trivial frontend stuff, but not having a built-in robust git client really threw my workflow off. I don't really like using a separate terminal for diffing, nor do I like the default diff viewer for git anyway, nor do I want to buy Kaleidoscope for a billion dollars for that one thing, which would be an external viewer anyway. Yes I want a native mac app, but it doesn't really count as a better experience if some of my interactions are slightly more spiffy and some key things aren't present at all. I do like something that is just a good text editor like TextMate was, but Coda and Nova were always trying to be in this middle-ground area. Macrabbit used to have a great app for thibg called Espresso which I loved for just CSS, HTML, and Basic JS. I'd give Nova another shot in a second if there was a significant feature-rich update, that includes things that other people rightfully get hung-up on.

Nova has something unique in both a product and market. The customer-base is willing to give it repeated shots before totally writing it off, and that's a blessing that the majority of companies don't get.
For example CloudFlare's free tier is not intended to be free transit or storage for other services that are substantially about selling storage and transit. If you make an image-processing CDN type thing, like imgix, CloudFlare does not intend to subsidize almost all of your costs.

I think it's unquestionable that privacy is generally helpful to victims (or rather, the victimized.)

I think what he might be referring to in particular is that the traditional blockchain and even financial system at large is incapable of protecting at-risk individuals (eg activists), as the former is subject to chain analysis and the latter is subject to the whims of whichever regime has taken power.
a SEC approved spot ETF is needed for institutional access, not retail. Several countries have already approved such vehicles, and nobody imploded.

Retail is already all the way in. Institutions have mandates that restrict them to trading venues, types of instruments, jurisdictions (some can only invest domestically, and so cannot use foreign ETFs), and so on and so on.

There is a reason why MSTR was able to raise mountains of debt to buy Bitcoin.

It's all institutional money.
It is a very literal encoding: the colors are the actual colors of the lights (unless you uncheck the "Show real colors" checkbox), they flash in the same pattern as the actual lights, and the radius of the circles is proportional to the nominal visible range (but I think they are smaller than the actual range [1]).

What make it difficult for me very often are bad examples. The set of standard examples for introducing concepts of class, object, inheritance etc (animals, geometric figures, cars) makes things harder in some aspects in my opinion. That was at the beginning. Some time ago I was learning design patterns and again - after understanding the concept I usually understood how bad were the examples. I've never read a good explanation of SOLID principles.
I've only ever had few male friends in my life. I surely have had male "buddies" I've acquainted with, usually around activities. A common interest works with most men but leaves the "buddyship" very much in the shallow side and due to the lack of depth these buddyships tend to fade out as hobbies, locations and activities change. But male friends, except for a couple of childhood friends, no.

In contrast, female friends - plenty, from good acquaintances to close friends, with some female friendships lasting for decades.

With friends as opposed to buddies I mean the kind of friends I can talk to about anything, share my feelings, ponder about life, relationships, people. And that kind of friendships are also something that you can latch onto again and again even if you had a gap of a few years in between. Friendships are anchored deeper, being less dependent on the circumstances at each moment in life. I wouldn't mind having male friendships too but it has just never panned out as easily as with women, really.

I guess that is because women are grown to being more open about sharing that sort of internal psychological and emotional scenery while men often aren't. But the thing is that we all have that side inside of us and it's screaming to be heard. So I'm very much lucky in having been able to start, enjoy, and maintain friendships with women -- even through my early romantic interests with other women and later my marriage with my wife. I would have been a sad, lone person without them.

It's not a given that real estate has intrinsic value. Sure properties which are in high demand today will continue to do so tomorrow. But not all properties are like that. You can look at several foreclosed properties in 2008 bubble. Many continue to be in rundown state (both commercial and residential). Because the costs of renovation, taxes, utilities, insurances when included makes the property a losing proposition.

Abandoning projects is something I'd connect with other companies, not Panic. I'm using Transmit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmit_(file_transfer_tool)) for more than 10 years already.

That at some point they have to sunset tools that are not used by people any more (Like the Newsnet client, from what I remember) makes sense to me. It doesn't feel like they are just abandoning projects because there's something new and shiny to work on.

Ask HN: Swiss citizen, need job, but have no experience
I'm a Swiss citizen, 38-years old. I've been based out of Southeast Asia for close to ten years. During this time, I've mostly survived on past savings and odd online jobs. However, for various reasons, I'm no longer able to stay here and have to return to Switzerland.
I have little financial resources left, so I need a job fast. I will do anything within my capabilities. In the (distant) past, I worked in IT, but my tasks were mostly confined to simple code maintenance & bug fixing. I also dabbled with Ruby on Rails during my free-time. That said, I didn't touch code in several years. However, I would be totally willing to try and get back into it, even at minimal pay. I would also consider related jobs, like IT support or DevOps.
If anyone has any pointers or tips, that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

>Any reasons (beyond PR) that these highlights are posted on the blog of GitHub instead of on the main website of Git itself?

Probably the most obvious reason is that author Taylor Blau is employed by Github. If Github funds his work on Git, it doesn't seem strange at all that he posts on his employer's website.

Also, if you're referring to "git-scm.com" as the "main website of Git", there may be practical reasons such as TB not having any authoring privileges there to write a blog type of post. I notice that Git contributor Junio C Hamano who wrote the Git release notes doesn't post blog articles there either. JCH's blog-style posts seem to be at a different url: https://git-blame.blogspot.com/

You didn't ask but a related question people wonder about is why HN users (such as ossusermivami in this thread's case) submit Github links more often than the Git mailing list release notes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28207811

I think the animosity is easy to see and I believe it is partially justified, or at least the fear it is based on. It seems it is mostly restricted to online spaces for now.

But I also don't really understand the expectations of people. For tech as a whole to take responsibility?

I believe the SPD in Germany has not been to constructive to dampen negative effects of tech, but I would be very interested in their perspective, especially regarding the stereotypes people have formed.
There certainly would be very few, and likely none, murders to obtain cocaine by end users. It does not cause dependency in a way heroin and gabaergics do.

Heroin withdrawals are quite painful (literally), and many users are also simply suffering from endogenous depression that responds to almost nothing, and in fact used to be treated by morphine.

Same goes for alcohol and benzo withdrawals that WILL give you seizures and quite possibly death.

Psychostimulants (cocaine, amphetamines, cathionines, other assorted alkaloids, including caffeine) withdrawals means being very tired, lethargic and sleeping a lot, they are not life threatening.
Bloody brilliant, and of course will never happen
> is HN "elitist"? 4chan? Usenet? ZeroNet?

Yes; very much so, particularly those first two which are widely known for it.
Human beings often perceive patterns and deliberate action, where systemic explanations would suffice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia

A good example is popular discourse on 'elites'. You could perceive this as a shadowy cabal consciously acting, or as systemic flaws in society which perpetuate inequality.

Ryan's account leans towards the former, shadowy Cabal. VCs have systemic flaws in perception and they're subject to a herd mentality (e.g. startups are bimodally hot or not).

The systemic theory can explain Ryan's fundraising experiences more simply than the 'Mob Bosses of Stripe and YC' theory.

It wasn't so much about the design of the tank as I recall. Instead it was about one side using diesel tanks, with the other side using gasoline in their tanks. The dogs turned out to be trained on the smell of the fuel, which caused them to be attracted to the wrong vehicles.
> One difficult thing to accept in programming language design is that what mathematically is simple, consistent, and straightforward is not simple, consistent, or straightforward to people.

The problem here is that most 'people' have already learned the non-simple, non-consistend and bent logic of non-mathematical (aka imperative) programming languages. Because (almost) everybody has learned the basics of mathematics before programming, so for _everybody_ a term like `x = x + 1` had been a violation of all three.

And come on, html parsing is the cheapest thing of all that happen there. The most of work goes into font rendering and jpeg decompression. Every paragraph adds CPU workload incomparable to any amount of divs, literally tens of thousands of calculations, if your system uses hinting, kerning, etc.

This is just a personal preference. At the times of 14.4k and no-images button in the toolbar it was useful, but not today when you can download a megabyte per ping time. I like to see sites as they were intended to be seen and not jump around and change colors with every chunk of html or css. I actually hate sites like that.
Open Swoole 4.10.0 released: coroutine selector, HTTP2 SSE data streaming
working on multiple projects with varied versions of Go from 1.16.1 to 1.17.6. Asdf would switch versions (mostly correctly) for each project, but then the VSCode tools would not and VSCode would refuse to run tests because there was a mismatch between tool version and Go version.

Golangci-lint was also a nightmare around versions, and I suspect asdf was involved in this, too. We had 4 separate instances of it (the one VSCode used on save, the globally-installed version we could invoke from the CLI, a dockerised version that supposedly emulated what the CI engine would do, and the CI engine itself). None of these ran the same versions of the linters with the same config and the same version of tools.

I uninstalled asdf and used a more conventional version manager. Although there was some pain about remembering to manually switch versions, it actually didn't matter that much. Go's backwards compatibility guarantee meant that I bumped into way less problems from working on a 1.16 project using Go 1.17 than I did from asdf trying to match versions. The important bit was that the tools and the Go version used matched.

I used to describe Modafinil as "the best sleep you ever had, in pill form". As someone with chronic sleep issues and ADHD, it allowed me to function during some of the worst months of my life.

The way I eventually settled on to 'dose' Modafinil is two pills (200mg) on Monday morning, then one pill on Wednesday morning; this kept my serum levels at a level where I got the positive effects for a whole work week, yet could still relax on the weekend.

I haven't been in a situation where I felt I needed this for a while, now.

Proven methods are 'spaced repetition' and 'active recall'. Programms like Anki can help you enforce these methods without having to learn an awful lot about it.

If you were talking about remembering things "on the fly", I can't tell you a lot about it. Generally speaking, your brain can be trained to a certain extend. So telling yourself you're just like that might hinder you more than your actual preconditions.
Many 'rules' (like one request -> one file) create limitations in Gemini that prevent it from being capable of web-style corporate behaviour, so even if business isn't content with regular web users and doesn't leave Gemini users alone, their options and the damage they can do is hampered (unless co-opting the entire movement).

I think the protocol being designed around ensuring it's difficult for sites to exploit visitors is a core goal that gets lost in the blinding document minimalism that's hits you when first encountering Gemini, OP didn't seem to get it.

The absurdity is so high that to lower the amount of hate-speech Facebook started banning the word "hate" (and translations).
