For historical reasons my team uses Makefiles for executing data science workflows[1]. They are auto-documenting which makes it not just helpful on me when I forget an underused target, but it's perhaps even more useful when onboarding new team members. Rather than directing them to some out of band docs, it's convenient to simply direct them to use make to get the help they need[2].

1. There are reasons, like consistency of interface which I value even more than autodocumentation, but that is outside the scope of this discussion.

2. For small orders of help.
Not sure if i can believe that story...
I remember the research being done on Ivermectin and found that the reasons a de-wormer helps fighting against Covid was due in part that many of the places that the study was performed, were in non-Western Europe countries. Places where worms and parasitic diseases are common, where getting one of two fights removed from your body will incredibly help the other fight.

So I either have to picture Joe as someone who's been infected with worms to the point that he needed a dewormer to help him, or he's giving a poor amount of anecdotal evidence. While the first is certainly able to exist, it's highly unlikely given his chances of having the parasitic infections are incredibly reduced in the United States.
Unknown Security Pitfalls for Python (2021)
One of the reasons that there's not really a "dumb" car anymore is that backup cameras are federally mandated. So you have a camera for backing up, and you need a way to display that. So auto manufacturers say "Hey, we have this screen, people are used to touchscreens due to their phone, and it makes manufacturing easier if we put everything on a screen as it means we can just put a flat piece of plastic where all the buttons used to be, so lets make it a touchscreen!"
The "smart" stuff on my Sony TV is pretty damn good actually. It has all the major streaming services I use and the remote isn't half bad. It's actually taken over most of the functionality we used the Apple TV for.
How do you know? Did you get CT scans every month when eating and when not eating only meat? There are a bunch of things in your body that can be inflamed without you knowing anything about it unless you get scans and other tests.
From my understanding, looking into making an open source version years ago, a human will actually listen to the audio clip and verify, plus there is some triangulation going on where they can determine the speed of the bullet and direction for at least high powered bullets using multiple microphones.

It's simpler than that. It's accountability.

Whether you communicate, or do without communicating, there needs to be accountability.

When there's no accountability, it boils down to power games, which is what we've always had, because as soon as you start playing accountability, you have to justify why you have power and I don't, and that makes people in power extremely nervous, because most of them are really not that bright and any requirement to use rationality exposes it all too clearly.
I have yet to find a vegan/vegetarian "cheese" that even resembles actual cheese. I'm not a cheese expert but even my unrefined pallet can tell the difference between "cheese" and cheese. It is ridiculous how bad some of that shit tastes.

I don't think "cheese" will get anywhere close to cheese until it's made from vat/lab grown milk. Then it'll just be real cheese just not coming from animals.

If that were the case, then you would expect to see degraded service, not total loss of service. And anyway what should be getting overloaded by lots of subscriber use is switching equipment, not cables. Cables have ridiculous amounts of bandwidth, and fibers are so cheap compared to the fixed installation cost that you're out of your mind if you install a cable without running 10X the glass you actually expect to light up.

My son plays Krunker, in which trading cosmetic items is a meaningful part of the experience.

On one hand that's a model for how tradable items can be part of the fun but it also shows that it can be done without NFTs.
I think it's a nice thing to do, in any occasion (except when it's urgent) (friends, coworkers, family,…), to call someone (by saying their name or with a gesture, or something), let them take time to focus on you (and possibly write some note so they can come back to whatever they were doing easily), and then speak.

I know multiple people who need some time to switch to you when they are focused (either they can't listen before, or they can but would lose their track). And that's fine. And they are probably not autistic. They usually don't need to be called multiple times though, that would be a bit annoying but hey, what can one do. I'd probably get used to it.

I don't usually need time to switch to someone interrupting me but certainly don't like it when the other one assumes I'm listening before I showed I'm listening.

Twitter can be exactly this, but you have to put in some work to curate your follow list. You also have to be quick to unfollow anyone who turns out to be spammy or picking fights all of the time. If you just let your follow list grow unbounded, the quality of Twitter goes way down. If you follow and unfollow all the time, you can get a fairly interesting Twitter feed full of people sharing projects and discussing ideas.

This is such a crucial point that I think many people are entirely overlooking. Even the case examples in the article moved because they needed to find affordable places to live. It wasn't really a free 'if I could move anywhere in the country...would I pick rural Kansas' kind of choice.

What is supposed to be shady about it?

> Still, the way energy is circulating in the food chain, you need a lot more land and water for raising X calories of cattle than for the same calories of plants.

We need more than calories from food. As is well known, some micronutrients that we need cannot be obtained from plants alone and so a plant-based diet must be supplemented either with fish, eggs, meat or dairy, or with artificial supplements.

Which means a) meat, or at least animal food products, is not a luxury, rather it's a necessity and b) for everyone on the entire Earth to go vegan we must make sure that everyone on Earth can take at the very least B12 supplements, and probably supplements for other nutrients also.

I have not seen any study of the costs of supplementing everyone at a planetary level with B12 and whatever other micronutrients are missing from a vegan diet.

> Open ended question, is there a solution?

Well, let's find out. Ads suck all of the air out of the room. If you provide your content through another business model, someone else can just copy your content and slap ads on it and make a few bucks. And because search engines function on those same ads, they're incentivized to send you to the spam sites instead of the real source of the content. If we kill ads as a business model, then we can start to explore other business models and find out what actually works.

> Inherently people trying to make money from their website either have to charge people directly with money for access or indirectly by having them see/hear ads.

No. There are other options. One example is the Patreon model. I pay for several creators who do not gate their content to payment. They make their content available to everyone, for free. I could view their content for free, but I want to encourage them to continue creating, so I pay them for it. Is it a viable option for every situation? I don't know. But the mere existence of ad-based business models means it's very difficult to explore non-ad-based solutions. For this, and a whole host of other reasons, using an ad-blocker is more ethical than not.

> friendly community (Code of Conduct, blogs, chats, podcasts, etc.)

In my experience, most of these things negatively correlate with stuff I actually want (like software quality or stability). It indicates a software ecosystem that exists mostly as an ersatz social outlet for a certain kind of person. The best softwares I use tend to have none of this stuff - maybe just a mailing list and a bug tracker.
The blog's code works (with gawk) if some whitespace errors are fixed.

$ gawk -f temp.awk temp.dat # echo inserted into command
gmetric -t uint16 -u Celsius -n GPU_1 -v 50.5
gmetric -t uint16 -u Celsius -n SYS_1 -v 31.0
gmetric -t uint16 -u Celsius -n SYS_2 -v 43.0
gmetric -t uint16 -u Celsius -n SYS_3 -v 38.0
gmetric -t uint16 -u Celsius -n CPU_1 -v 36.8

I think they are a design flaw in Awk; I'm going to look into that and recommend changes to POSIX via the Austin Group mailing list if it still exists.

Awk has some newline sensitivities due to the following ambiguities:

condition # condition with no action allowed: default { print } action
{ action } # action with no condition allowed
condition { action } # both

Therefore, this is not allowed (or well, it is, but codifies a separate condition with a default action, and an unconditional action).

condition
{ action }

There can be no newline between a condition and the opening { of its action. And actions must be brace enclosed.

And thus (IIRC) the awk lexical analyzer (in the original One True Awk implementation) returns an explicit newline token to the Yacc parser. In any phrase structure that doesn't deal with that token, a newline will cause a syntax error:

function( # no good
arg
)

function("string " # no good
foo + bar
" catenation")

When the lexer produces the token which is the opening brace of an action, it could shift into a freeform state, in which it consumes newlines internally. Then when the action is parsed, it can be returned to the newline-sensitive mode.

The newline sensitivities don't seem to serve a purpose in the C-like language within the actions.

That language also occurs outside of actions via the function construct:

function whatever(...) {
}

here the lexer would also be shifted into the freeform mode, as appropriate.
Holy shit, everything about that Tesla experience is a nightmare.

> and how would this disrupt the current hegemony.

You would immediately see many more billions spent on making it illegal wherever it's feasible to do so. And, of course, an accelerated push to 1) neuter the ability for browsers to block content, how they block content, and what content they can block and 2) a push towards big bundles and blobs of content that can't feasibly be adblocked in realtime with the way current extensions work.

Ask HN: Why do adblockers still work?
I have wondered for a long time, but the article at the top of HN as i write, "Adblocking people and non-adblocking people experience a different web" reminded me.
Am I wrong that all a publisher needs to do to defeat ad blockers is to serve ads from their own domain? Or at least make it appear as such? Surely the money at stake would make that an easy problem to solve.
But obviously I must be wrong. Why?
I agree, I think the line between ads and searches are blurred, but I think that point can be made without misrepresenting the statement from Google as an explicit critique of ads placed above search results.

The 90-Day Plan for a New CTO
Have you heard about GNOME's Client-Side Decorations Initiative? The gist is that GNOME does not want to implement/maintain window decorations (title bars, minimize/maximize buttons) in their Wayland compositor, so instead (in typical GNOME fashion) they want every other Linux desktop app to add code to draw decorations themselves (in whichever style they want).

Oh yes, DOS could redirect to a serial link using the CTTY command, like CTTY COM1 or CTTY AUX.

I can only imagine that there is some financial interest here. By forcing people to bundle in high-margin techno-junk, they can raise the overall profit margins cars relative to cost of living / inflation. That, and/or maybe there are high-value corporate partnerships involved.
Plenty of personal variations; when I changed my diet to mostly meat and veg for about a year, I stopped the experiment because my joints got stiff and painful, and because it is not tenable at scale ecologically. Now I eat more like a chimp; mostly plants, with meat as a treat. Eating less and going without calories for longer helps reduce my inflammation.
To me it's not about getting free content, it's about not paying with my information and being unable to pay any other way. If a site wants to use ad networks that track me across the web, too bad for them. And also too bad if they don't offer a subscription model that disables ads AND tracking.

Also, ads can be served in ways that makes blocking much more difficult. It's just harder to do, and harder to track users across sites. (and therefore, probably less lucrative to the site owners).

What happened to serving ads based on site content? How is using poor algorithms that require a lot of tracking and then make bad guesses about your interests any better?
Heck, I think that Dijkstra invented his own notation for numbers for a presentation/teaching system that he was developing.

Ah, you're right - it's more complicated than I thought. The code that generates /ask doesn't exclude 1-point stories (so the point about there being a threshold isn't strictly accurate). However, it only considers the top 1500 stories in overall ranking. Stories with 1 point soon fall out of the top 1500. What this means is that a story with 1 point may show up on /ask for a little while (most likely just a few seconds), and then will disappear from /ask, unless and until it gets more upvotes. That's why so many of the posts on https://news.ycombinator.com/asknew don't show up on https://news.ycombinator.com/ask. It definitely doesn't have to do with title edits, though.
Maybe. But it does work on XenApp, which is their somewhat-deprecated non-vdi offering :D

> large community of developers to hire from today + years from now

I think this is a red herring. The thing that actually matters for most companies is marginal hireability. By the time you're big enough to worry about absolute hireability (because your hiring demands exceed the liquidity at the margins) you can create a hiring pool out of thin air (e.g. if google invents a new language and shills it a bit, tens of thousands of college students will learn it for free).

If you're a small company and you're picking between Java and Elixir (or whatever) your concern should be "how hard will it be to hire 3 developers at a given quality level?", not "are there 1 million developers available?"
I still use NoScript because you can quickly enable bare minimum scripts to get a site working. After a while you develop a good intuition for what is making things not work. At first it is pretty daunting and I generally don't recommend it for the less savvy.

If you just blanket turn off Js the internet basically is not useable.

> You can't even buy appliances designed perform their function well

You can't research good appliances either online, because the SERPs are stuffed with SEO-ed blogs and sometimes industry magazines, monetized with Amazon affiliates or other networks, with titles like "5 best dishwashers in 2022". Unless you know someone in the industry or offline with knowledge you don't know what to buy.

This is noticeable in many other consumer goods verticals, e.g. good luck researching decent home gym equipment that is durable and not overpriced with fat margins.

There's no adblocker for this problem either. Google is complacent with their fat ad revenue and monopoly on search and doesn't care.
No need to go into the debate about veganism. 90% of Canada is unused and owned by the queen. Lets say we take even 10% more. The queen can keep 80%. That 10% is now going to be a giant vertical factory farm, fully automated. Our robot farmers produce more food than the earth can consume. World hunger ends and everyone who used to farm and such can go do something else. Perhaps those people learn to produce meats artificially. That gets automated and we're good. Every human on earth eats as much as they please and can go work on more important issues.
