"One of those times I was "convicted" on the word of my bully for something I had not done and my bully regularly did. They tried to get me to admit to things in each case, but even though I denied it throughout, I was still punished."

"Anyway, the point of this is that discipline in schools is mostly unfair, arbitrary, and not clearly effective. In the general case there are no trials, no weighing of the evidence, or anything to protect the student from unfair treatment or abuse."

To be fair, the criminal "justice" system works the same way - abuses of power, arbitrary punishments, recidivism, etc. And, you can have a trial if you feel like starting a law suit, but I don't know how much justice one finds there either. Up to 10% of the incarcerated are wrongfully convicted. I think we should be working to fix both systems, but given this it's perhaps better to learn that this is how the system works when the stakes are detention vs prison.
There was a lot of work on microbiome and cancer immunotherapy... the latest study in the field published in the most prestigious journal there is [1] seemed to show that fibre intake was more important than any specific microbe. In fact they found that eating more fibre and taking probiotics resulted in worse outcomes than just eating more fibre alone. This was recapitulated in a mouse model:

> Together, these data have important implications. We show that dietary fiber and probiotic use, factors known to affect the gut microbiome, are associated with differential outcomes to ICB. Although causality cannot be addressed from the observational human cohort, where unmeasured confounders may exist, our preclinical models support the hypothesis that dietary fiber and probiotics modulate the microbiome and that antitumor immunity is impaired in mice receiving a low-fiber diet and in those receiving probiotics—with suppression of intratumoral IFN-γ T cell responses in both cases.

It would be a bit disappointing if the final conclusion from all this microbiome work was 'Eat more vegetables'...

Well that's why I said "if we assume those are the best metrics". Privacy would be an additional one.

I wasn't trying to make a full and ideal rule set, just pointing out that the one you said is extremely narrow and even really bad free speech rules could pass it. Like one that prevents me from talking about someone in a park playing with a kite.

There's really no evidence that running is hard on your joints, as long as you avoid serious injuries. If anything, studies have shown that those who run regularly have better mobility in old age.
Totally understand your viewpoint, sometimes I do feel the same way. It tends to feel a lot like programming because in a sense, it is. It can feel very deterministic and absolute, especially when you are fatigued and stressed out from work/studies. Sometimes you have to take a step back and reconsider what is possible. If handled the 'right' way (there is no right way, just what sounds good to the creator) you can create some quite unexpected stuff, almost feeling like you are distancing yourself from the absolute, deterministic and hard-edged nature of it.
Interesting. Do you happen to know which ones or have an example?

I'm not into osteopathy or homeopathy but my concerned about GMO are because I don't trust that the scientist really know what they are doing, or can fully understand the impact any changes they might make, not only on humans, but on the environment at large. Nor do I trust our government to be able to police and regulate the industry. Nor do I trust big farma to put health before profits.

As a quick solution, rent a commercial grade ozone generator.

Run it while you’re not in the house as in the concentrations they can put out it is damaging to lung tissue.

This is how hotels clear out smoke smells in rooms for instance.

Once you run it for a few hours, you can open things up and air it all out and the smells should mostly be gone unless there’s an active source of smell.

I did it while restoring an old house previously occupied by a smoker and hoarder. Would just run it at night when nobody was there and open the house in the morning when ready to get back to work on renovations.

It worked wonders.

Yes. Like any application architecture, the Hypermedia Driven Application architecture has strengths and weaknesses.

In the case you outline, a canvas-based application, a hypermedia driven application is not going to be a good choice. However, that being said, it may be a good choice for parts of your application (e.g. the settings page.)

Thankfully many SPA libraries are now embedable within an broader application, so you can use that approach when it fits best, and other, simpler approaches in other parts of your application.

Author of the tweet here.

I don't think that companies do this consciously, but I think the problem with your take is that your comment seem to assume that performance anxiety is somehow related to being "triggered" when people do the actual work. I can recall no situations whatsoever when something like that affected my performance at work. I am on an on call rotation, I deal with various production issues and incidents frequently, here and there I'm working on the infrastructure where mistakes can have very bad consequences. None of this is in any way comparable to the interview.

Another point here is that I've talked to a friend working at Shopify and he said that if he puts me in the system they would skip the coding interview, because then they don't need to check if I really can code. So no, in this particular case I don't think that this was a way to filter out people with performance anxiety.

Also, this kind of anxiety doesn't seem to be connected with actual performance when doing the work, it's just about working with an audience that judges you vs working in private. Here is an article about an interesting study: https://news.ncsu.edu/2020/07/tech-job-interviews-anxiety/
All I really want is a 96x2 PPI monitor because I'm mainly on Windows and that's what widgets look their best at. 24", 3840x2560 (for 96 x 2 PPI, 3:2 aspect ratio), 120Hz, 10 bits per color, topping out bandwidth at exactly two lanes of UHBR 20 of DisplayPort 2.0 would be my holy grail.

I have some odd GI issues so there's a clear impact there. The alternative treatment is some very nasty medication. Effective probiotics restore normality without the side effects the medications have. I'll spare you the details ;)

More anecdotally I do feel generally better even when my GI symptoms aren't present: more energy, better mood, more restful sleep.
Ask HN: How do you get started as independent consultant or contractor
Hello HN,

I do plan onto pursue independent contracting in feature. I would love to hear the thoughts of the community on how to pursue independent consulting. For instance, how do you find clients, how do you pursue a niche and keep yourself updated as a contractor

I use the CRG9. Combine it with the ms powertoys and you’ll be a happy camper. I divide mine in 3 where i have vscode in the middle and 1 column left and right.

I do reccomend getting the one with the 5120x1440 resolution. I still have the old 3840x1080 one and I miss having more pixels sometimes.

One downside tha you have to take into account is that you can never share your whole acreen when using teams when the other persons don’t have an ultrawide. It will look super small on their screens.
That's not a good argument at all. What 'modification' do you think is a risk and how would it cause the concerns your worried about?
Poll: Did you change your Spotify subscription as a result of Joe Rogan story?
Spotify Joe Rogan story shows up 4th in best today on HN. I wonder how the HN crow actually votes with their money on it.

UPDATE: I specifically did not include any option, representing what one “would” or “might” do. Intentions, especially in surveys, almost useless, imo. Also, if subscription status change for unrelated reason, I would bucket into either “I was subscribed before and still am now.” or “I was not subscribed before and neither am now.” because in this case your subscription status did not change because of this story.
I was subscribed before and still am now.

I think it's wrong to generalize from voter id laws to "the types of voting restrictions we're talking about". Other stuff that's being pushed:

- limitations on early voting

- limitations on mail voting windows

- criminalizing helping people return their mail ballots (including disabled people)

- sending mail ballots not specifically requested

- voter roll purges

When these are paired with stuff that isn't statutory (fewer voting machines per capita causing long lines at particular polling places), I don't think it's a stretch to think there would be aggregate impacts that are significant given the narrow margins that we often tend to see.
Most shareware was upfront about being paid.
>> 4k monitor that I use at 2x scaling, and I'm never going back to fewer pixels per inch.

Doesn't that scaling make it effectively 1080? I use a 55" curved 4k TV and will never go back. The ability to "spread stuff out on the desktop" is unmatched.
Though with an inauspicious context. Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toga :

> From its probable beginnings as a simple, practical work-garment, the toga became more voluminous, complex, and costly, increasingly unsuited to anything but formal and ceremonial use. It was and is considered ancient Rome's "national costume"; as such, it had great symbolic value; however even among Romans, it was hard to put on, uncomfortable and challenging to wear correctly, and never truly popular. When circumstances allowed, those otherwise entitled or obliged to wear it opted for more comfortable, casual garments.

> ... the toga's bulk and complex drapery made it entirely impractical for manual work or physically active leisure. The toga was heavy, "unwieldy, excessively hot, easily stained, and hard to launder".[39] It was best suited to stately processions, public debate and oratory, sitting in the theatre or circus, and displaying oneself before one's peers and inferiors while "ostentatiously doing nothing".[

>supermarkets just withdraw their cheapest priced ranges

As an Australian, that's really interesting to hear.

In the past 5-10 years, we've seen an explosion in the availability of cheap, decent-ish quality "home brand" products in supermarkets and our media regularly runs stories arguing that certain foods (notably milk) have become too cheap for farmers to be able to reap a healthy profit.
I wouldn’t be so sure: https://twitter.com/wokal_distance/status/149022042327069900...

The idea that nobody organizes to push around political muscle seems pretty naive, like suggesting that there are no guerilla ads on reddit.
Just use a large TV - curved.
It seems kind of optimistic or naïve to call this late-stage capitalism. It can get a lot worse if you really unfetter the capitalist machinery.
What do you mean by "short"? Do you mean like, the monitor support structure is short?

You can put ultra-wide monitors on monitor arms; just make sure the monitor arm supports the weight of the device.
None of those interfaces are user-interfaces, though.
Oh. No, i don't think it's possible - i'd suggest to just use multiple subdomains.

Technically, you can squeeze out some bits: there are 36-37 possible characters of which you are using only 32, so with arithmetic coding you would be looking at about 1 extra bit for 5 characters, but it's a nightmare to code. And after those extra bits run out, you will get the same problem anyway.
I’d second the more 24”@4ks! I’ve had 2x24” 1080ps for years, and I really think they’re the sweet spot for my setup. I think 2x27” will be too large, and the super wide monitors lose too much real estate vs 2x monitors.
For text rendering, 4k doesn't really work for 27" or bigger. It'd work for 24" because you could do true @2x, but there aren't many out there. For 27", besides the UltraFine 5k, I'd prefer just using @1x with 1440p too.
For it to be extruding ice, the top of the railing would need to be full of water (which seems unlikely), and there need to be multiple holes in the railing of the same cross-section (which also seems unlikely).

Because it is snowing an ice cap can form on top of the rail, and if the railing is warmer than freezing (for example if the air is above freezing), then heat can be transferred to the bottom of the ice cap, and water can come out the sides of the ice cap? Edit: leaving a layer of water under the icecap? Although cap would slide off if it were completely liquid under cap?

Aside: I saw something similar recently while I was playing with a Himalayan salt block candle holder, placed on a plate, placed on a wood burner. Wetting the outside of the holder with a sprayer causes the salt to dissolve and the brine pools in the plate. As the brine pool dries due to the heat, salt forms an impermeable crust on the pool, and then the brine dries from the edge of the pool. The dried salt slowly extends over the plate, and it then goes over the edge of the plate and the salt dries on the underside of the plate. The heat of the wood burner speeds up the process. I originally saw the process happen to the salt block over months of time while it was sitting on a dish, sitting in an environment that is sometimes humid and sometimes dry.

That sounds like a cleptocracy IMHO
It's a form of regulatory capture that will enable to FB to do just fine, and have tons of companies pull out of Europe for almost zero benefit to Europeans.

It's a 'nice thought' to have all data and data processing apply locally in Europe, but it also has only very, very marginal benefits.

Just think for a moment: where are the Europeans who are directly harmed because FB has their data in the US under different jurisdiction, whereupon, if the data were all in Luxembourg, their personal outcome would be better?

I'm not even sure that exists.

Were Sven and Francois harmed, distraught and complained to the EU that this data ought to be in Luxembourg in which case they would not have been harmed?

The regulation requires a fair bit of cost and complexity for very little upside and will make it more difficult for companies to operate.

Of the things we don't like about Facebook that the data is in the USA is not the biggest burden.

It's one thing, but not a the most obvious thing.
Not of course, I have trouble finding any citation for that.

Knots and nautical miles are interesting because the nautical mile was originally based on latitude: one minute (1/60 degree) of latitude was 1 nautical mile.

So an airplane traveling due north at 120 knots would cover 2 degrees of latitude per hour.

Most of the US Customary and British Imperial units actually have similar logical definitions or derivations, but they aren't regularly taught anymore.
> Making it harder for people to vote is literally voter suppression

As I said upthread, it's "literally true but dishonest". Barring children from voting is literally voter suppression but calling it that is stupid.

> I don't think you can argue that adding unnecessary steps to voting, and making penalties for making mistakes harsher while making it easier to make mistakes, is anything else.

Reasonable people can disagree over whether showing an id to vote is "unnecessary". The fact remains that voter id laws are not unreasonable, not beyond the pale, most Americans support them, and this whole thing is a manufactured political drama.

No, I hadn't heard of it. Windows 11 also sort of works around it you just have to wait a few seconds for it to rejigger the windows so I no longer need a workaround. I did use it with tiling window manager (stumpWM) on Linux but that just resulted in an even worse problem where I couldn't even use the 2nd monitor after returning from sleep.
I wish I saw this before I started on the road with React Native. Lot's of similarities but seems easier and thinner (i.e. npm is too bloated).

As every aspect of the world that humans interact with, the internet too is shaped by all interacting people collectively.

Some sites that are heavily used by people have grown away from their original purpose toward simply generation revenue for shareholders. Google was once a handy search tool, not a data collecting/selling platform.

I rarely use Google anymore and many other people too are fed up with services based upon shady business models.

Facebook is seeing a decline in its number of users .. such exoduses have all the power that's needed to transform even the biggest companies.

The internet is full of striving communities of those who turned their backs on shady business models.
I believe that this striving portion of the internet will always exist.
Only its size will simply depend upon how many people decide to stop feeding the hoarders their data.
Pretty much every high end monitor has that issue. It’s a conflict between idle power savings regulations and the hardware needed for 4K 120hz.

I just disable “turn display off after x minutes” in windows, set a black screensaver, and leave the monitor and PC fully powered 24 hours a day. This does waste power, but unless reasonable sleep modes that only power off the panel become available that’s what you gotta do.
I only made it very recently. I had tried absolutely everything and gotten almost nowhere. I finally stumbled onto everlywell.com tests, took the comprehensive test of 200+ foods, and discovered almonds and dairy were the main culprits. I would ave been very unlikely to eliminate almonds as part of an elimination diet.

Anyway, once I was able to feel better again, even for a day or two, I then was able to try other changes along the decision tree in the problem space. It soon became obvious what caused what. Everlywell says that 18 months of avoidance can often allow us to eat foods we're sensitive to again. I've blabbered about it at length in my previous comments, probably too much haha.
Since everyone is just using this thread to post their own experiences with the monitors they use, I'm curious a bit further...what is actually on your monitors while developing? (Interested specifically in web dev, since that's what i do).

For me, I am fine with 3 windows at a time, achieved by my laptop display, and my 4k screen split vertically. Code and SO/docs on the big screen, and then the testing browser (ptobably with console open) on the laptop screen. I don't really see any use for another monitor or more screen real estate.
Yes, but diesel-electric locomotives have a brake mode where the "regenerative" current is shunted through big air-cooled resistors and exhausted as heat. Often used on downgrades to control speed without burning up the brake shoes. Recovering this into battery charge would be an easy win, though you might still need the resistors after the batteries are fully charged or if they can't absorb the charge fast enough.
> I didn't really believe any of this in 2018, and my meal plan then consisted entirely of everything that I can't eat today.

I suspect you had the same degree of confidence in your understanding of these issue then as you do now. It's interesting that you can reflect on your overconfidence in the past, but don't seem to express any skepticism regarding your current beliefs surrounding nutrition.

By the way, I'm not saying that you're wrong! GMOs may be bad, but I think you would do well to level some degree of skepticism over your current understanding of nutrition as you do toward your past understanding. Consider that perhaps you will be here in 2026 telling us about how you got it wrong today.
Here you go:

For stoicism:

- "Enchiridion" of Epictetus.
- "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius (my personal favorite that I keep reading over and over).
- "Letters from a stoic" from Seneca.

It's not a lot of authors but they're pretty dense and should keep you busy for a long time.

For buddhism, it's a very vast subject, but I'd start with:

- "Siddhartha", this is a novel but will give you an overview on the buddhist system of thoughts. It's also very well written and inspiring.

- "What the Buddha Taught", also an introductory book on buddhist toughts.
- Another introductory book is "Buddhism for Beginners".

From there, and based on your interests that you will discover along the way, go into the "suttas" which are the religious texts. You may even want to go to a time before buddhism with the vedas and the Upanishads that have so much to teach us.

There are many schools of buddhism, some closer to what we'd call a religion in the west while others purely philosophical (without any emphasis on a god). Zen buddhism is yet another category, where the teaching is based almost entirely on mediation alone but it's the exception, even if in the west we often think buddhism = meditation, but it's not so.

So, as you can see, it's more a tree than a line and you'll figure it out as you go if it resonnates with you and how deep you want to go.

Enjoy!

Agreed, ultrawide monitors really just "heighten the contradictions" of non-tiling window managers, and show how unfit for purpose they are.
In what way this is a flamebait?
