I had to upgrade my i7 T420s with maxed out memory and solid state, because work video calls brought it to its knees, and it couldn't push 60 frame videos in the browser. I had to use streamlink for practically all live video consumption. (Linux Mint)

Don't get me wrong; I'm proud of how far I stretched it (and it remains a respectable machine for what it is), but I just want to put this out there if anyone's thinking of trying to dump heavy modern web processing on the T420/T420s dinosaurs.
Anyone using this with an end to end encrypted file sync client?

(Preferably, an open source one, and preferably using “storage box”, not “storage share” since Nextcloud routinely has CVE’s)

The key word: TUNING. Every climate model has tons of tunable parameters, many of which are not from first principles. They are empirical, observed some years ago over some remote locations, but now applied globally as the truth.

Not much sadly, it's actual cellular biology and above my skills tbh. It's part of the ideas floating in "longevity" websites and it seemed more interesting to try to monitor/help that part rather than fancier/newer ideas like epigenetic clocks etc. Mitochondria are good old established knowledge you know.. yet everywhere and important so why not investing some time to maintain that side ?
I'd rather that level of abstraction came off the top. Not the bottom tbqh. Not understanding filesystems is one of the biggest handicaps in terms of realizing that all a computer is is an address space management machine. Completely undermines the desktop metaphor, and leads to crap like Android, where you're not even looked at as the primary owner/operator of your own handset.
Absurdity is how he wasn't cancelled earlier for all the vaccine scepticism, but suddenly everyone furious about n-word.
What are you expecting exchanges to do? If you passed through privacy service you need to prove that your money is not associated with crimes. It is completely your fault. I am actually happy to hear that people who are laundering money will have hard time.

On the other hand bitcoin is shitcoin. That is a fact anybody shills bitcoin is possible scammer. Anybody says bitcoin is future is retarded.
> Minority groups are always the ones who suffer from restrictions on speech.

Minorities generally suffer more from any restriction, not just on free speech. As an example, CA is slowly increasing the cost of gun ownership in the state. Rich tech workers won’t have a problem buying a gun, but poor and otherwise less privileged groups now can’t afford to protect themselves. Then crime in those areas tick up, then more restrictions and so on.
> functional but unused oven or stove

Well, we can think about why, and try to to minimize risk.

If it's unused, and they didn't control for diet, then it could be that they're eating processed foods. I would be extremely interested in seeing the diet of a family that didn't use a range/oven, and the relative amount of phthalates and the like.

Assuming they are getting good quality food, then an old stove will always have a pilot light on, even if it's unused. I think it would be hard to ventilate the emissions from a pilot light, since most ducted vents have flaps that only open when a fan is on. But...

If it's a modern stove, then an unused gas stove is the same as not having a gas stove at all, since there's no pilot light, unless you have a gas leak.

In my case, I have a modern stove, and no gas leak (it was tested), so I think my situation is probably different than whatever study you have in mind, assuming everything is properly ventilated while it's on.
Maybe one option would be to host a WebDav share with the Delta-V extension (RFC 3253) backed by Subversion. An alternative to Subversion might me NextCloud which supports automatic versioning and WebDav, but I do not know if it supports versioning through WebDav.

I also desire an easy solution to this usecase.
Very clean, would be nice to have an easy "export" function if users want to host it themselves.
Yeah, I'm still on Spectacle, which is basically the same thing. It's all I need as far as tiling-alike stuff goes and is the very first thing I install after Homebrew, on a new Mac. In fact, Homebrew, Spectacle, and using the Settings GUI to set my caps lock to an extra ctrl, is the entirety of my new-Mac setup routine, as far as stuff that never varies. I've tried "real" tiling WMs on Linux and don't really get it. I just need quick and consistent keyboard shortcuts for send-to-quarter, send-to-half, and maximize. That's plenty.
I completely agree that there's some overhead associated with my proposed route, and really only makes sense if your project is large enough such that this overhead is already being incurred. I believe there is still a large gap between projects supported by large tech companies and companies that fit this bill, and in that gap are projects that can benefit from this change.
i also doubt kids don’t “get” folders, since basically any major file storage (desktop OS, mobile OS, cloud storage) has them in some form. They’re just not using them.
Only 40% of phone users in the US use Android.

Google Assistant is far behind Amazon for home devices.

There is another little company that you might have heard of that sells phones that doesn’t depend on collecting data.

I also avoid using sign in with Google and use a service where I can “Hide my Email”.

Everything that Google does is a sub par user experience festered with ads
Am I strange for disagreeing with the very first example of dry-python? They suggest the second version is "much better" than the first but I sort of hate it.

This interview with Kenneth Libbrecht is wonderful, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao2Jfm35XeE
Where in each claim do you see their proposed "hardware implementation" - the novel device you suppose they've invented - that we might distinguish from, for example, every modern microcomputer ? What I see is a description of the algorithm because of course the intent is to patent the algorithm and not some special hardware implementation nobody will manufacture because it's patented.

If you have some novel arrangement of gears and levers to propose, or some recipe of doping material A with chemical B and then doing so-and-such - that's a classical hardware patent, but the whole point of these "an apparatus" patents is that they aren't trying to describe a novel device anybody invented, they're describing the algorithm the patent is for the algorithm and phrases like "an apparatus" are just a wafer thin excuse for this to be waved through by people whose salary is paid for by the endless flood of such software patents.

As a parallel comment is explaining there hasn't for many years been any substantial difference between what seems to be very much "hardware" and what common folk think of as "software".

The patent application even spells it out, explaining that "A general purpose computer [...] can execute the invention in a single instruction cycle [...]". What "invention" do you suppose is being "executed" here? Is the general purpose computer... making a special circuit? Maybe your laptop is now selling DVD players to Best Buy? No. Their "invention" is just the algorithm, they successfully patented the algorithm.

Nobody would "stop you writing that algorithm", but if they wanted to, and if you've got enough money for it to be worth taking your money, while that patent was valid they could sue you for infringing on their invention and unless you've got deep pockets and proof you invented it first, you are screwed.

I won't argue with your mistrust of psychological 'findings'.

But: If psychological research is not conducted with scientific rigor, and we treat it as an art, then where does that leave the phenomenology of mental illness, study of social dynamics, etc? Mentally ill people still need to be treated. And historically they have been treated in very, let us say, 'artistic' ways. If we abandon the scientific aspects of psychology, mental illness will still need to be dealt with, but without any framework of rigor or understanding.

While landmark findings of psychology (such as the marshmallow experiment) can be questioned and debunked, a lot of what you'll learn when studying psychology as a science is how little we know about psychology. That's an important thing to learn! Does approach X work for people with debilitating anxiety? In all probability, we don't know, or it does work for some people and has the opposite effect on others. That's the day to day of psychological research. When something exciting and novel comes up (like the marshmallow thing, or the Stanford Prison Experiment), it represents an island of false certainty in a sea of uncertainty and suddenly all the laypeople know about it. Such understanding of our lack of understanding can form a bulwark against, at the very least, political, social and religious ideologies that make sweeping claims about behavior and dynamics.

It's important to quantify what we don't know as well as what we know. Otherwise we'll be taken over by people making extraordinary and sweeping claims based on no evidence, rather than people at least publishing their evidence to be possibly later debunked. In the linked article's example, if psychology were purely art, there would only be the authors' book, not a paper with actual math to debunk and a journal to interact with. I am probably overstating my point, because when a specious claim is backed up by scientific trappings people may be more likely to believe it, but I am increasingly less certain of that.

When it comes to critiques of 'soft sciences' I often come to this. Those fields often came into being because there's actual day to day issues that don't go away even if we have arguable theoretical foundations behind them. Absent said foundations, people still need to make sweeping decisions about economics and psychology that affect millions of lives. The scientific part arose from looking at the history of such interventions and wondering if things like exorcising people with visions actually worked any better than not exorcising them. For many of the people being exorcised, it was a 'landmark finding' that exorcism is not the most effective method of helping them with their issues.

I had this reddit thread in mind https://old.reddit.com/r/vuejs/comments/s3595h/the_new_vue_b...

That, and also that categories like offensive can be so subtle and context driven (eg "Get out of here" could be a jokey play between friends, serious advice in a generous situation or a rude retort).

And then there's the sheer volume of training material which makes dealing with it a huge challenge, which is why researchers are exploring ways to shortcut the processes as they do here using additional LMs to help with their main LM.
The page won’t load for me so forgive me if I’m missing context for this analogy. But on its face it’s clearly not analogous: training on how to wear a mask is an action taken on one own’s body, strip searches are performed on another person.

Granted, out of context I find the quoted reasoning equally unconvincing: servicemembers (presumably military?) may also sometimes trained on how to commit suicide in the event they find themselves in circumstances with greater risk of peril, but that doesn’t mean it would be lawful to arbitrarily order them to do that.
I've used 1Password for the better part of a decade, but I've slowly been weaning off of it. I'm in the Apple ecosystem, and have switched to using keychain for all my passwords.

I was pretty unhappy when 1Password switched to a subscription model, which is partially why I chose to leave.

1Password's mobile experience also isn't great, especially when compared to iOS's native keychain syncing abilities.

All in all, I'm fairly bearish on 1Password for the personal use case. If you're not in the Apple ecosystem, Google has similar capabilities. If you want to be agnostic, then there are free alternatives as well.
> the IQ for being a soldier is between 84 and 90

I am extremely skeptical. As a judge advocate, I see the personnel files of every accused service member and the majority of witnesses in any given case that comes through my office. While IQ tests are not routinely given, the GT score (a rough proxy derived from the ASVAB/AFQT) is in every personnel file. I have seen an 84 once and below-84 once.

What's your source for this implausible claim?
Flexbox Froggy is a great starting point, but nothing helps you solidify this info better than building layouts and components.

I've found that separating work from recording that work is the easiest approach. So what I end up doing is waiting the code and tests and making sure things work as expected. Only then will I start recording that work into a sensible series of commits.

To do this, I'll generate the diff of my work relative to the base branch and then stage parts of that work using the git apply command and make a commit out of it.

If it turns out that I need to update what I changed in a commit I already made, I'll just make a fixup commit (by creating a commit with the changes and titling it with

fixup! Exact title of commit

This way, when I run a rebase with the autosquash parameter, git will rearrange the commits such that the fixup commit is listed right after the commit I want to amend.

If I just need to update the commit message itself, I'll do the same thing except that I use the squash! prefix instead of fixup!. I then make the commit using the allow-empty option (making sure I have no changes states in the git index). During the autosquash rebase, this brings up the editor where I can delete the text except for the updates commit message I typed earlier.
The accredited investor rule is not the main barrier to investing in quality startups. The barrier is being part of an insiders' club. A16z will call its network of rich entrepreneurs when an investment opportunity arises. Nobody except the already-rich and connected even know it's happening.

Ask HN: Internships for International Students?
My sister is studying computer science in Brazil and she's looking for internships. She's interested in big data and AI, but open to software engineering internships in general. Most companies in Brazil that do CS internships seem to be banks or other big companies where she doesn't think she'll her skillset as much as she wants. So she's expanded her search to companies abroad too.

Does anyone know of cool companies that host international students for internships? She's open to remote work, as well as part-time (internships in Brazil are usually part-time during the semester so it would be natural; she's also open to summer internships). She's looking into companies of any size, and she's already applied to the Big cos, but she's aware that those host few international folks, especially this late in the recruiting cycle.

Any leads would be helpful! Also, if there are any online communities (eg women in tech, or otherwise) where she could get mentorship, career advice, and find open-source projects to get involved in, I am eager to relay that info to her as well!
Well, accidentally I was watching this presentation yesterday - https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/event/retro_frogfind/ - might actually try it out - e.g. https://frogfind.com/
not being able to understand the concept of a folder structure or a file hierarchy goes way beyond some technical implementation detail. That's a fundamental concept that you find outside of digital systems (duh, given the folder metaphor)

This isn't some legacy artifact, it's more like losing the ability to read an actual map or orient yourself because your navigation system tells you where to go next. Which is something that I've noticed increasingly as well with many people.
Technic hasn't gone away at all.

I think there is a fair argument that React has implemented some useful concepts and Vue wanted take certain advantageous concepts and add them into the fold. It's a decision and with any decision like that there are certainly going to be pluses and minuses.

You're missing the point. 70% of Americans voted for the president in the last U.S. election. Regardless of whether or not my candidate won out, I don't view criticism of my government's policy as a personal assault on myself as an American.

Let's say you have a valid, blistering disagreement with an element of American foreign policy. Do I view this as criticism of my government? Yes. Might I disagree? Sure.

What I don't do is claim that criticism of my government's decisions and myself personally cannot be separated (as the original poster argues) or claim that others are "inciting inter-cultural contempt" as the article cites.
Culture and Media is inherently political, to me it makes sense to make sure that the media reporters, the opinion pieces, and the cultural heritage and lineage remains mostly in control by Canadians for Canadians, and that all Canadians get an equal representation, which considers and encourages minority groups to have a voice.

That doesn't mean that you block and censor media and culture from other countries to reach Canadians. A broadcaster is not a publisher. A broadcaster is inherently a curator, it's a promoter and censor in its own right. If you're the biggest distribution channel, but you are in control of choosing what content gets the most or best "air time", which is what a broadcaster does, you have an outsized control and impact on what content reaches Canadians and what content doesn't.

That means Disney could buy all Canadian TV and radio stations from money they acquired in the US market, and just decide to only broadcast US news, opinions, media, music and film, etc.

Or it means that Canadian broadcasters could choose to do the same because they make more money from big budget American productions than Canadian productions. But it seems wrong to me to say that news, media, and culture should all be driven and optimized purely on what makes the most money, and not on any other dimensions, such as cultural heritage and diversity, equal opinions and voices from Canadians of various groups and affiliations, etc.

Similarly, for online broadcasting, it means what does YouTube decide to recommend you? What do they decide to promote or show first in a search result? You'd want regulations to make sure that YouTube considers what's best for Canadians, by making sure it's equally showing Canadian content from various Canadian groups, and not that it's just demoting and making all Canadian voices and content hard to find while instead only recommending content that is optimized for clicks, revenue, outrage, or representing American, or Russian, or other foreign nations or groups.

That doesn't mean banning foreign content, it just means it can't get priority over Canadian content in broadcasts. You also can still sell and distribute it in Canada without problems.
The problem today is that when what one says doesn’t have the desired consequences of some group, they then attempt to change the rules and stifle speech. This is why the line, which I acknowledge there is a legal line of free speech, should be clearly enumerated (which it is). And any company moving the line should be held accountable.
