Yes. And no. Bro science is more or less useless. But the article isn't super useful either. Calories burned are "adjusted for nonfat body mass." Adjusted how?

Fat stores energy. Food adds energy. Exercise uses energy. Those aren't "myths." The article (not talking about the scientist) is very difficult to understand, but it seems to come down on the "myth" side of that dilemma. Mostly. Kind of.
Frankly, the only good third party recruiters are good because of the human relationships they have with hiring managers are good companies. Likewise they will try to establish good relationships with you the candidate.

It's a severely bifurcated group IMHO. There is a tiny pool of great third party recruiters. Then you have the vast unwashed masses of crappy ones. The ones that are at least decent seem to end up as internal recruiters at least.

In addition, the size of patches can also vary quite a lot on what the author considers a "thing". Some developers fix multiple things at once, while some others think every nut and bolt should be it's own separate commit
I would argue that's a good use of the trigger!

The complication is error reporting. Will your application interpret the error that comes from the database correctly? Will your UI (or API) return a useful error?
Search can help address this issue if you know that people were discussing something you're interested in. However, it's possible (and in my experience likely) for an important topic to come up in a thread and not make its way back to the channel. In that case you may not know that it's something you need to search for.
I see no reason why it wouldn't be. Proton has a pretty good track record with 4x games, the only reason it wouldn't work is if the developers went out of their way to implement anti-cheat or intrusive DRM.

Anyone ever play Outpost 2? I loved the story and world of that game! Something about this game’s slow unit speed, inhospitable environment, emphasis on survival and infrastructure, and the narrator’s voice in the demo video remind me of Outpost 2.

The article assumes all unvaccinated are uninoculated that is on average false.

Some knowledge is really beneficial but it can be really extensive. A designer friend of mine took a text from me, reformated it a bit, changed spaces here and there and little details about the layout. It changed from a normal text document to something that is really nice to look at.

I have several artistic hobbies like painting or modeling, but there is still a difference to someone who had formal training. There isn't just the artistic side to design, there is a technical one too.

That said, what we currently see in software as modern design is paternalistic trash with completely wrong incentives. Yes, apps for everything do empower users so that they can do more than ever before. But that certainly is not due to modern UIs that feature 1 button to make the magic work.

And yes, even non-IT users can grasp the concept of file, the concept of a menu bar (those are awesome!) or a button panel. They are fully capable to use "classic" applications which had a design that is extremely sensible and successful. They didn't need this UI revolution that made everything look like candy.
No, they would need to communicate about the ideas and thought processes behind every individual line of code. If not now, then the next time there's a bug in said lines.

One part I noticed: The backup strategy. If ariadne fucks up this bad, mere mortals have no chance.

I understand her very well, btw, as it took a minor data loss to teach me it will happen to all of us. I just got lucky.

But consider the situation as an end user: zillions of options, but no clear strategy. Simply choosing what to back up and how many times is expert level IT. Choosing a software package and storage location is headache inducing for expert level IT.

Essentially. It could be entirely generated from sources of energy which could not be utilized for any other purpose. There is a world of untapped energy that is only restricted by isolation. So you could entirely run bitcoin without increasing global energy output, if that makes sense. There would be no opportunity cost of lost power to current grids, as it is using power that cannot be used for any other purpose.

In other words, transporting energy is usually the limiting factor. That’s why you can’t just have all your solar panels in the desert, for instance. Moving power is too difficult. But with Bitcoin, you don’t need to move the power, just the product. So think of all the energy currently devoted to printing money, or running the computer systems that prop up the global financial market - if you transitioned to Bitcoin, in theory all of that power could be saved, as Bitcoin would be entirely using power that cannot otherwise be used.

I don't understand. Just please make a good UI toolkit for your desktop OS and stick to it. Wasn't the point of the new settings app to use UWP/XAML?

.NET MAUI is Xamarin Forms with a new name so devs don't get whiplash, UWP is falling apart slowly and apparently now being abandoned by MS themselves, so I guess I'm supposed to use their new built-in edge webview for all of my desktop UI now? I don't want to make my desktop apps in javascript, WASM is too slow to be useful, everything else is a hack.

> Humans learn by looking at existing code and gleaning new ideas, and does the AI although it requires much more data.

Actually I doubt it. There are different ways to learn, the cheapest of which is observation indeed. There's also trial and error, how most enthusiast start with little more than a description of the grammar if it's primitive enough, famously so for the BASIC varieties. Of course this leads to local minima and frustration quickly, Turing Tarpits e.g., but it also leads to independent discovery and rediscovery. At the next step of learning, I believe, it's the differentiation that makes ... all the difference – ie. learning about the development of languages and eventually of computing machines per se. At a higher order of learning it cannot be limited to calculation without a semantic interface (and vice versa).

I mean, etymologies like ominous calx (Latin "pebble", cp. chalk, calcium) for calculation, and symbolical notation show the kind of "code" that we copy from. That said, I'd think at the current state of the art, the ai would have to look at the machine code as the representation of its output eventually (perhaps because I found myself wanting to do that), even if encoded through macros and programming language devices, which it could do entirely unsupervised.

However, understanding the task is a more general problem, isn't it?
What do you mean by 'the Linux model'?
> The North Miami Beach Loop would ferry Tesla vehicles between seven stations along State Road 826 [...] The Boring Company estimated that the loop would initially be able to carry more than 7,500 passengers per hour, and could be scaled to carry more than 15,000 per hour.

Does this check out?

15,000 passengers per hour, with a generous estimate of four passengers per car, accounts for 3,750 Tesla vehicles per hour in a 6.2 mile dual line.

In comparison, the Madrid metro area, with a roughly similar population and 12 Metro lines, transports around 1.5 million people per day, which divided by hours of operation (18), results in ~78,000 passengers per hour, or 6,500 passengers per line per hour, if they were uniformly spread across lines. Total length of the Madrid Metro lines is ~650 Km.

Do you feel like porn prevented you from meeting people in the first place, or just made you not as satisfied with what relationships you had? As also a millenial dude, I definitely have gone through cycles of watching it alot, but always just in the times in between being in a relationship (or in college, just sleeping around in general).

I definitely believe you, and well aware you are not alone in the peergroup, I just personally can't imagine my relationship to porn ever winning out over real sex. Even bad sex is better than the best porn.
Shaibani’s past calls into question Dubai’s claim to be run by the rule of law. He was involved in two of the most notorious episodes in Dubai’s recent history: the kidnappings of the emir’s daughters, Shamsa and Latifa. In August 2000, Shamsa was abducted from the streets of Cambridge, England, not far from the sheikh’s estate in Newmarket. She was drugged and taken to Dubai against her will. During a dispute between the ruler of Dubai and his estranged wife, the English High Court determined in December 2019 that Shaibani was “closely involved” in the “operation to remove” her and, indeed, that he was present when she was seized. She hasn’t been seen in public since.

The UK must be addicted to despot money because these things keep on happening and the diplomatic reactions seem non existent.
Interesting... this raises soooo many questions.

How are "crypto-shredding" actions propagated to the access patterns/layer?

I assume that there is an encrypted partition/cluster/shard key (in addition to similarly encrypted rows/fields) that is invalidated during the shredding causing any predicate matching on these ids to evaluate to false.

---

Now that I've typed this out, i realize that by electing to encrypt individual fields, all and any predicate matching will evaluate to false and has nothing to do with partitioning, sharding, or clustering...

I guess it would also be pretty awesome since you could invalidated entire sets of data by "shredding" grouping ids that are being used as partition/cluster/shard keys.

Now I realize that this implies that you shouldn't encrypt each and every fields of related data the same way (grouping ids), otherwise you're potentially going to end up with unique keys/ids for common attributes across sets of data... potentially rendering clustering/sharding/partition useless (cardinality too great).

While "defragging" or "rebalancing" this increasingly "sparse", old data would be expensive, surely there has to come a point where the storage costs start to exceed that of interaction costs for specific subsets of your prefixes. For instance, partitions that consist entirely of data that has had all of its respective encryption keys shredded.

Illuminating comment that has set my mind into overdrive... Fascinating stuff!
I think a decentralized network that is permissionless to participate in, pseudonymous and censorship resistant is very valuable to society.

I think an asset that can be secured, transmitted, and stored in self custody cheaply that allows people to escape hyperinflation is quite valuable to society.

I think understanding central banking and monetary policy and history of money are not strong points on HN. Everyone here understands that a memory leak causes your app to crash given enough cycles. Being able to print unlimited currency is a memory leak.

>no one who moves to Dubai for a middle class job will ever experience any of the things you’ve listed

Sorry, but that is just not true. You're always one mistake away from losing all your rights and going through a miserable experience. This could happen to anyone who is basically not royalty or extremely high ranks, I've experienced it first-hand.

Everyone knows this, so people are quite afraid to mess up, at any level. Ask any foreigner who has lived there (not just visited) for a while.
I'm sorry for your loss. I'm not trying to hammer on you for that. I hope you feel better soon.
I didn't get past a few seconds on the page because of a couple things:

2. Scrolljacking
Exactly, they can't afford it. Mating rituals are expensive.
> Leaving aside the fact that no database worthy of the term should ever be crashing due to a "bad query,"

This simplistic assertion only shows your lack of experience working with huge volume of data / txs.
There is no justification for it.

Indeed the custom scroll reimplementation feels sluggish. In general, it is unlikely to surpass the native browser support.
I tend toward your side of things. In your first 0-n years of experience, you're growing extremely quickly (hopefully). You're working with a lot of new tech, new people, if n is greater than 4 or 5, hopefully at least two companies if not three. But by the time you have n-teen years of experience, it's much more like you've been repeating the same year of experience over and over again.

Growth, especially if you have a decade of experience (and not one year ten times), is hard. I think especially at the upper end it takes dedicated effort.
More tiny steps to transitioning "Windows" to Linux.
This is quite interesting, and I'm curious to see how it goes.

I do think the definition of "fairness" is off, though:

> Because using years of relevant experience is transparent and repeatable, both for leveling and promotions, it carries a strong measure of fairness

Or more precisely, there are lots of ways to define "fair". And in this case fair is defined as "more years in post means more money, whatever your job is".

This is not general fairness (perhaps nothing is) but it rewards loyalty. Other types of fairness (which actually their sales teams get) is "create more value, get paid more". I.e. kicking back for 10 years in a role that's fairly straightforward and hard to measure might reward someone as much as working incredibly hard and transforming the business for 10 years. That could well be considered unfair.

I think rather than "fair" it's just "easy to measure", which accounts for the lack of need for promotion recommendations. I've never known them take very long, but yes, a length of tenure calculation will always be quicker.

I would say also that I am curious as to how competitive this can possibly be for attracting talent. Desirable employees who need incentive to move to a company will generally get more money, as otherwise they won't move. Additionally retention might be an issue, as the same principles apply; market forces will mean that other companies that pay according to what an employee will agree to work for will have extra cash to wave at daily.co employees.

Finally, I suppose that in the short term, powered by VC money, this is likely to work, and it's as good a way to spend VC money as any. I don't think we should call it a revolutionary way of working, as having a pit of money to prop up an idea does not make the idea sustainable for other companies. It might remain automatically workable for years to come if the company raises more money without having to survive on its own merits.
Maybe an unpopular opinion here but I am finding HN to be more and more like Reddit everyday. I normally only read HN articles that have atleast 500 points or more and have notifications setup for it. In the past I used to get only 1 or 2 notifications a week. Now I get atleast 4 a day. I find it hard nowadays to keep up.

Eh, I’ve had responses from pro-crypto people to the effect that the cost is the point, those particular individuals seem to believe that is both a necessary and a sufficient way of making the thing secure and useful.

I was unable to convince them to the contrary on either regard, the necessity nor the sufficiency, despite the existence of all the currencies that work even better without PoW/PoS.

Considering the number of USB-A devices I still own, it would be considerably more than “20-30 dollars”. More like $200, and those are all devices, chargers, and travel/backup chargers I rely on regularly.

It’s not so simple to migrate. Consider:

- Some devices have a proprietary end and a USB-A end, and there’s no USB-C equivalent (my Pebble chargers; my microphone; my webcam). I have tried dongles with these before and left disappointed every time

- some devices have a USB-A cord attached permanently, such as my desk lamp. Again, dongles are unreliable here and thus a downgrade.

- For portable devices like my standalone GPS for bike touring, my lights for my bicycle, my phone, my watch, and anything else small I might want to charge when travelling by car… I still need USB-A for the car itself. Easier to pack one cable for the whole trip instead of a USB-C cord for hotels and a USB-A cord for the car.

- My personal laptop still has USB-A ports, but no USB-C ports. As far as I can tell there are no non-sketchy adapters that go from a male USB-C cable to a female USB-A port. Apple makes a very expensive Thunderbolt2<->Thunderbolt3 adapter that I use at my desk when I want to use my personal laptop there, but that adapter is $50 or so. Already over your budget.

- I don’t have any USB-C wall warts at all. The last phone I bought was the 2016 iPhone SE. I have a plethora of USB-A wall warts from family and friends who didn’t need them. They work well.

Why are some people so hellbent on removing functionality that other people use every day and can’t replace without significant expense and inconvenience? It’s just like the damn headphone jack on iPhones: I understand that a lot of people are fine with Bluetooth only, but I am not. It’s frustrating to lose the option.
