Huh? That's consistent, isn't it? No impact on cavities, height, blood pressure, etc. but an impact on GI tract infection and eczma. Well, those don't sound like serious problems so maybe it's not worth it.
Awesome tip. Thank you.
You are not missing anything. The copy-cats are typical spam and is not anything newsworthy, just like the Flappy Bird and the 2048 clone spam several years ago.

Just ignore it. The Wordle hypesquad clones will die out soon and find something else to be addicted to.
I am very curious to get a tad more context about the bank issue, if that's straightforward.

Also, I have no idea if this will work, but: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19418165 - a bit of quote-googling (recommended to verify) suggests this person may use gmail. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hmm, China's coast is a little hard to see.
I use a monitor stand to bring the monitor to eye level and an adjustable desk to fix posture. Avoiding laptop-on-lap and phone screen viewing combined with stretching assigned by a physical therapist has helped a lot. There are some days when I can get a tension headache with only a few minutes in phone screen posture.
They are not mutually exclusive. There're groups that are developing portable atomic clocks, and then we have this group that are pushing the frontiers. While not in everyday devices, cesium/ rubidium clocks which are less accurate but there're already commercial products that are used in observatories around the world. The standard time of your country might already be referenced to one of these.
> 2.4 Bright Lights at Night

This is somewhat inaccurate. Babies only start producing melatonin around the third month - until then their sleep patterns aren't necessarily correlated with the time of the day.

Bright lights in general obviously prevent them from going to sleep.
this is wonderful podcast series.

Correct me if I am wrong, but there is no way VR will bulk up your arms in a way that a simple dumbbell won't do better in 5-15 minutes per day, right?

> exercising parts of my body that running didn't touch

Similarly, running will exercise parts of your body that VR won't touch right?

Maybe not too similar, but still in the same ballpark: The History of Philosophy without any gaps. [0] Especially the series on islamic and indian philosophy is very well researched, easy to listen to and quite illuminating. If I'm not mistaken the author, Peter Adamson is a professor without teaching obligations due to the workload associated with the podcast.

Git could hide this for you and just make it look like you cloned the repo twice.

What happens if you make a commit in dir1 and dir2 is on the same branch. Absolutely nothing, until you fetch, and worktrees could work the same way. If there is any ambiguity left you could prefix the branch names similar to the remotes origin/master, worktree2/master.

The only sane way to use worktrees today is, like you say, with detached heads. Which well…isn’t that sane for many other reasons.
A lot of the techniques, such as these, really seem to be just imitating what a fully attentive mother without modern parenting aids would be doing. ie. carrying the baby on her body all day, and allowing it to breastfeed at will. Pacifier = artificial nipple, isn't it?
500 MB may be excessive for git, but it is a good practice to check in your compiler together with your source if you use perforce. It’s just an extreme case of monorepo.
That coffee was not too hot by independent measuremtns.

There was a lot of BS said about that case by all sides. But, the claim that hot coffee was too hot is one of them.
You suggested them. The only real one I can think of is price inflation, and that's like nothing next to the destructiveness of the fed.

If you don't understand why arraignments for minor violations are awful for the working poor, you've probably never been poor. When I was poor I was lucky enough to not be hurt by arraignments (flexible work hours), but boy did I have sympathy for those people who were relentlessly fucked by that system. There was always at least one of them whenever I had to show up at court, and it wasn't hard to figure out how they got into those situations.
Let's imagine the following scenario. I am creating and distributing a program that, when run on a user's system, will dynamically link with a copy of libc. I am not distributing this copy, but my program will fail to run if no such copy exists. Furthermore, I tell my customers that the only lib C I officially support is FictitiousLibC, released under the full GPL (not the LGPL like the real GNU Libc).

The question is now: am I breaking any laws by delivering my program this way? According to the FSF, which believes an explicit linking exception to the GPL is needed - the LGPL - for such uses, then YES, I am breaking the copyright of FictitiousLibC, and so would need a license from FicititiousLibC to be allowed to distribute my code. But, if copyright law actually says "no, your program is NOT a derived work of FictitiousLibC", then the license is not needed. I don't know if this has ever been tested in court, but nothing would stop Congress from explicitly legislating this way and basically removing the difference between GPL and LGPL.

For an example of where this sort of logic applies is building programs to be run on an OS. If I build a program that only runs on Windows, but don't include any of Microsoft's code in my program, it is well established that my program is not a derived work of the Windows OS, so I can freely distribute it under any terms I want (not that Windows is special, the same is true of Linux or iOS or any other OS). I am not claiming that running on an OS is the same as dynamically linking with a library, just that in general something can be related to a copyrighted work without becoming a derived work by virtue of copyright law, not license terms.

Edit: note that if I want to distribute a bundle of my program + FictitiousLibC, that may infringe on FLC's license even if my program alone wouldn't, as FLC's license's terms of what constitutes a derived work could, in that case, go beyond copyright law definitions, and I would obviously need that license to be allowed to re-distribute FLC.
Github also has a code-search feature. It's returning two orders of magnitude more results for "boolean isCyclic" than is grep.app:

It's obviously something services have to implement for each type of ID. When you have to interact with the real world that things get a bit messy.

Companies can abstract this away and be certified by each government, e.g. like Stripe. It's nothing special.
OSHA recommends having the top of your monitor at or below eye level. I used to do the opposite - I figured having a higher monitor would force me to look up which would keep my neck straighter, but it seems that it's actually better to keep your head looking a bit downwards - perhaps it's a more natural and relaxing position for your neck? In any case, lowering my monitor did seem to reduce my neck pain.

I also got a split keyboard which I think helped me improve my posture by allowing me to sit back more comfortably with my arms apart. I got a Dygma Raise but there are plenty of options and they're probably all fine.

Exercise also seems to help, especially shoulder/back exercise.

In case people don't know, Mark Nottingham (the author) is the chair of the HTTP working group at the IETF. He isn't just some guy with opinions on the internet. (Sorry mnot!)

I've never found pub/sub quite the right abstraction, because almost every implementation I've seen has race conditions or issues on reconnect. Usually its possible to lose messages during reconnection, and there's often other issues too. I usually want an event queue abstraction, not pub/sub.

I met mnot a few years ago when we (the braid group) took a stab at writing a spec for HTTP based streaming updates[1]. Our proposal is to do state syncronization around a shared objects (the URL). Each event on the channel is (explicitly or implicitly) an update for some resource. So:

- The document (resource) has a version header (ETag?).

- Each event sent on the stream is a patch which changes the version from X to Y. Patches can either be incremental ("insert A at position 5") or if its small, just contain a new copy of the document.

- You can reconnect at any time, and specify a known version of the document. The server can bring you up to date by sending the patches you missed. If the server doesn't store historical changes, it should be able to just send you a fresh copy of the document. After that, the subscription should drip feed events as they come in.

One nice thing about this is that CDNs can do highly efficient fan-out of changes. A cache could also use braid to subscribe to resources which change a lot on the origin server, in order to keep the cached values hot.

Of kids I've always thought "maybe one day". I can see how it'd be a tough, but extremely rewarding and meaningful endeavor.

But reading this article made me think for the first time "actually, I think I don't want kids."

So many "mental CPU cycles" spent learning about pregnancy, babies, why they cry, how to care for them. It just doesn't appeal to me at all - I think it'd resent it taking me away from spending time on the topics that legitimately interest me - stuff like space, technology, fiction, stocks, politics, philosophy, hobbies. (I realize how much this comes off as a young white tech nerd... But that's exactly what I am!)

And all this just of the knowledge gathering. We haven't even touched on the truly hard part - executing it!

I guess this article made raising a kid real in a way that none other have before. Took the high ideal of "raising a family" and shined light on all the tough, hard realities.

Of course this is all from my current perspective. I'm sure it all totally changes in ways I just can't conceive when it's your own kid.

Open to any insights from others who may have been here before!
If you make tee for yourself it will do the same thing.
It did OK. He had one of those businesses that other developers pay to be ‘featured’ for a day so had an easy way to slot his own apps in there and give them exposure. Ultimately mine won out I think. Can’t see his online anymore. I guess copying other people’s ideas can only get you so far (unless you’re Facebook…)
The way you wrote this sounds like you disagree with my sentiment because I misunderstood your original intent with linking the xkcd, but I understood that you felt that the comic was an apt description.
You can probably get better compression by storing the words in a minimized acyclic finite state automaton, since then e.g. shared prefixes and suffixes between words are compressed. Finite state automata can be stored as compact contiguous tables and you can use some of the same tricks as in the article to compress characters on transitions.

The linked post reaches 3.6 bits per byte. E.g. [1] uses finite state automata to reach 1.1 bits per byte for a Scrabble word list and 1.5 bits per byte for an English word list. Both word lists are probably more difficult, since they contain words of varying lengths and long words have less sharing in their pre/suffixes.

> it seems moot to use the HMAC of a shared key for signing messages

It’s because you want to be able to publish that signing key later, so you can deny anything signed with it came from you since anybody could use it to sign anything.
The simplest solution to this I can think of is to use a mail app on your laptop that syncs with your Gmail. That way you will always have a local copy of your emails.
Wow. . not a single comment about what is the most important dispute in EU tech legal matters at the moment.

This is the consequence of the world letting China into the WTO and allowing for the recognition of the Chinese "Legal" system. A country where there is no rule of law and arbitrary decisions may be taken at any point with the codified legal rulings always toeing the party line is no place to do business on local terms.

The EU should have blocked the export of or use of all telecommunications technology by these violating companies until those restrictive conditions were taken off by Chinese courts.

China can't arbitrarily decide to lower costs in their favor as they please and issue rulings to block the companies from suing in other courts under threat of immense penalty.
Quest only?
Hmm seems they don't offer this any more. Or I remembered wrong. But I am quite sure it was part of their offer earlier.

Size of index is pretty low, to be honest. First thing I tried was 0x5F3759DF, and it found nothing. It deletes non-quoted symbols such as + from queries and pretty much ignores parentheses. I tried few more queries and came out disappointed, I don't think it is acceptable as code search at all, especially as a modern one.
I know right? Such an idiotic person.
> The difference is an unemployed persons cost is not a subsidy for profit.

I don't get it. Subsidizing someone's living is okay, but subsidizing someone's living, and then that person deciding to earn a little more money is not okay because profit is involved?

>And are you arguing we simply must pay the costs for people to exist? I agree given not existing is very highly undesirable.

Yes? If you don't want them to starve, then obviously somebody as to pay the cost to keep those people afloat.

>Employed people, getting a subsidy so their employer enjoys greater profit makes sense how? Should a for profit enterprise earn it? Why is our help required?

Would society be better off if those "Employed people, getting a subsidy" were unemployed instead? They'll still get the subsidy. If anything, they'll get more subsidy because welfare tends to be means tested. If anything the "for profit enterprise" has a negative effect on the amount of subsidy that needs to be paid.

> What I am not OK with is so damn many people underpaid and struggling hard with assistance

Underpaid? Maybe they're being paid fairly given the market conditions, and that prevailing wage isn't enough to sustain someone's first world existence so some sort of subsidy has to make up the rest.

> despite arguably too much labor otherwise.

can you reword this? I'm not understanding what you mean by this.

I can't prove this, but I strongly believe that it comes from Active Measures troll farms, that it's part of a directed effort to disrupt society.

The proposed minimum wage hike was $15/hr.

If a job is worth $10/hr to get done, nobody will ever pay anyone $15 to do it. They will just not do it at all - so that’s 10/hr somebody could’ve earned that is just burned.

You have to think of it like that: congressman standing in front of poor single mother, telling her “you’re not allowed to have this job, it’s for your own good”, and then lighting 60% of her desired salary on fire as she looks on in dismay.

Eventually somebody will invent a robot or outsourcing solution that gets the job done for $10/hr.

At no point was any of this ever helpful to that person who was willing to do the job.

These experimental clocks are generally not used for time keeping. They are room-filling atomic physics experiments, which are not reliable enough for permanent operation. It is better to think of them as frequency standards. This means that the clock laser will have the same frequency in a month as it does today (to a very high level of precision).

If you have multiple such frequency standards, you can put them in different locations and compare their frequencies via optical fiber links. The frequencies are affected by gravitational time dilation, so this can be used for mapping the earth's gravitational potential. In the future, it might also allow detecting gravitational waves.
4+ sodas a day seems like a lot. Congrats for kicking that. I stopped drinking soda years ago, and dramatically cut my sugar intake for a while. I was surprised to see how much sugar was in, well, just about everything. Occasionally I’d indulge in a slice of pie or something and usually found it far too sweet to enjoy.

As for coffee, I don’t drink as much caffeinated coffee as I used to, but I do like the flavor. I’ll often kick back a couple cups of decaf in the late afternoon. Like you, I noticed that stopping didn’t seem to affect my sleep one way or the other. Fortunately for me, I didn’t experience any withdrawal issues, I just stopped. I was also very motivated for a few reasons, and may have been a factor.

Mathew Walker of Why We Sleep fame [0] was on a podcast [1] recently describing his caffeine and coffee abstinence experience. He made an interesting statement in support of drinking coffee as it relates the the Western (more accurately American) diet. He said that coffee is the single best, almost sole, source of antioxidants for many/most Americans. Shortly after hearing that interview I reevaluated my stance on coffee (my only source of caffeine) and went back to drinking it. I drink as much or more coffee than I did previously, but I drink significantly less caffeinated coffee. And I stay away from the “hard stuff” like espressos.

I wish I did. One thing I've noticed about most of English-language history is the fact that there's so little African, Asian, and pre-Columbian American coverage. There are so many cultures between them, and I feel like everything is oriented towards the Mediterranian, Greeks, Romans, Medieval Europe.

But having read Graeber, Mann, Diamond, Harari, and Reich among others and some historical cultural stuff, I'm lusting for more non-Western history. Even Russia is a black hole to me pre-realists. Anybody have recommendations for more exotic stuff?
Nice. Could you add a URL-parameter for the search-term, so it is possible to link to a query?
It's actually not the GDPR, but the EU cookie directive[1], which isn't actually in-force yet so "these notices" are definitely not required yet. If/when it does come into force, the current prevailing opinion[2] is probably the best set of clues as to what actually will be required.

Lots of REST systems have ways to denote a deleted resource (e.g. `{ "data": null }`) and some event systems too (e.g. Kafka, empty body and length -1), so I don’t see why you need trigger events to handle deletion.

> decoder using probability information for the output symbol from the previous iteration, the state of the RANS decoder being tracked using a value

> state of the RANS decoder including sufficient information to generate the output symbol for the current iteration if the state of the RANS decoder is greater than a threshold

I am not a lawyer. That reads to me like a 'relaxation'/optimization of the decoder to allow for iterations that don't yield any symbols, but still transforms the decoder state which affects subsequent symbols.

It's interesting, but feels a bit obvious to me. IIRC zstd decoder spec explicitly describes a state machine that is updated as bytes are read and symbols emitted and it doesn't seem like a big leap to imagine some ops taking multiple iterations. Then again I'm not exactly drowning in novel compression algorithms that I invented myself, so...

I wonder if you'd work around it if you it 'transpose' the problem and consider it to be variable bytes-per-instruction but still one instruction-per-symbol.
What about drinking coffee because of taste, not because of coffeine? Then you are pay more attention to quality, not quantity and addiction could be expensive.
