The fallacy everyone is making here is believing that consistency trumps all else. But it doesn't if you're consistently subjecting yourself to a stress which does not result in any new adaptations--then there will be no change.

An oft repeated example of this fallacy is in the case of tanning. If you go out into the sun for 20 minutes and get a tan, what will happen if you continue to go out in the sun for 20 minutes each day? Will you get more tan? No. You've already adapted to the stress (ultraviolet light exposure for 20 minutes) and so the continued daily stress of 20 minutes of sunlight will not result in any new adaptations.

That is why if you are completely untrained, sure, VR constitutes a sufficient disruption to homeostasis that you'll get some muscular adaptations. But the stress is so minimal (and you cannot effectively increase it) that you will quickly adapt to it and subsequent exposure to the stress in the future will not result in any adaptations, it will only maintain what little adaptation you already have.
The whole point of VAT is that there is no such definition of "used product" or "end user". If you buy a book from a store, and have a receipt showing that you paid 1$ + 10 cents VAT, then you later sell the book to someone else for 2$, you owe the government 20 cents VAT on your sale - 10 cents which was already paid, so a total of 10 cents.

The exact law may be more complicated (you may have to pay the full 20 cents now and file for a 10 cents tax rebate; you may not be eligible for this if you are an individual and not a registered organization, etc.) but that shouldn't affect the basic principle.

For example, if you buy a computer for 100$+10$ VAT, and you then use that computer in you back office to keep your accounting, and you sell 1000$+100$ VAT worth of haircuts in the month where you bought the computer, you only owe the government 90$ of VAT even though you are an end user of the computer by any reasonable definition.

If you later sell the computer on to a refurbisher for 50$+5$VAT, and the refurbisher sells it on for 75$+7.5$ VAT, they will only owe the government 2.5$ VAT.
If you have enough space to store the fully decompressed list, then you could in transpose the list of words - so instead of 5 by 12972 make them 12972 by 5, and get enormously long repeated runs of first, letters, second letters, etc. Any lz77 based compression will compress pretty well after that
Nim with ARC works really well for embedded or writing system tools. Compiling to C or C++ is still handy sometimes.
Row-level security, I assume.
I've worked on a real-time dashboard for operational insights for an airport once where they initially used eventstore to do effectively the same thing. We ended up replacing eventstore with a similar setup using typescript and kafka, instead of storing the projections into a new topic we used a mysql and redis as a storage backend. Worked quite well, especially in the cases where there was some more interaction needed with external systems. I haven't worked with Kafka Streams yet, but sure sounds like a worthwhile investment to spend some time with.

True, but I rarely see UBI proposals coupled with land value tax. This combo could work.
The lower body musculature is too large to be effectively stressed by bodyweight exercise in people fostering any decent level of fitness, i.e., bodyweight squats don't make you stronger.

Just because an exercise is hard or makes you sore doesn't mean it's effective.
That's not correct. You can use --force to to create a duplicate worktree pointing to the same commit-ish: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree#Documentation/git-work...
Whenever someone suggests introducing process that could lead to just as much harm as good, I remind them that we should prefer to hire smart people, and trust that they are smart enough to recognise when they've made a mistake so they can, if not outright fix it, at least ask for help in fixing it.

Sometimes an ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure. Often an ounce of prevention turned into process becomes several pounds of prevention and the cure is easier.
Show HN: XR Lightweight debug server utility for PHP
I started with the official cable, but honestly, it's not teenager proof and it's expensive to replace when the USB-C connector on the end is ripped out vigorously.

I'm now using an active booster one from Amazon that was about £20.
I actually prefer expert+ for movement, the cubes are more widely distributed in space and you need to make wider moves. For expert there are many cubes, but too grouped together. But probably depends also on the maps you choose. Anyway, for me only the expert+ maps are fun and challenging physically.

Any exposed information should be exposed deliberately. Although I didn't cover it in this post. In my event-driven setups, events are always wrapped in a message envelope data structure. Where a message is contains 1) the event/payload and 2) a set of headers to carry more "system-y" data, like time of recording, system of origin, and other observability related information. The event ID is one of those values.
For those curious how it compares to existing solutions:

>IMO this is a great time of one's life to discard the illusion of control.

Became a first-time parent back in 2020, and couldn't agree more.
The trend of slowly increasing personal freedom/control suddenly stops, and your freedom is reverted back to near-zero. As in, you will become completely dependent on your spouse and cannot even piss or shit alone when bubs is awake.

The best thing to do is just acknowledge that this is life now (and more than that, the type of life that human beings have evolved to live in), and the past few years of unrestrained personal freedom were a dream that you needed to wake up from.

I don't understand what use case they've given for SVD. Are they suggesting using it for compressing an image? Because that's a terrible idea, with an algorithmic complexity of O(n^3) and a very bad compression ratio.

[edit]

Just to underscore the point that you should never use SVD for compression except as a teaching example consider a comment here: https://mathoverflow.net/questions/408504/listing-applicatio...

The comment says

That's a very nice way of getting some intuition about the SVD. But this is by no means an application of the SVD. Compression [sic] images this way is terrible by any standard (you get very bad image for still quite large storage and computing the compression is very slow).

This is by an expert.
I hear you, but if I surrender my site to Google, I will always have the risk of being banned for no reason.

If I understand correctly the recent news I can't use Google analytics anyway (both my site and I live in France).
Yes, but their quality was also pretty low to begin with.

Cadbury is the reason why the EU, unlike the US, allows chocolate to be adulterated with up to 5% margarine. If the Germans, Italians or French had their way, only pure cocoa butter could be used, and by that standard Cadbury could not be legally be sold in the EU as "chocolate", so the British put their veto.

Now that Brexit has happened, I keep hoping the EU will reverse that travesty but I guess industrial chocolate makers have gotten used to the profits from selling mockolate for the price of chocolate and are resisting going back to proper standards.
> I wake up at 5:30, and do some deep work; at 7:15 an alarm goes off, which reminds me to fire up my Oculus Quest and start my VR workout.

Not being bad about it, but if you find a gym that's open at 5:30 it's going to be pretty empty, that's if COVID worries are keeping the OP out of these environments.

> I clear out my workout space and make sure my cats aren't in the main play area.

No wife and kids huh? I don't think it's going to scale to having a couple of toddlers running about when you're plugged in and jumping about the place blindly.
Rising baby right now, every tip was familiar, yes we go trough debugging baby cries too. I would only add - white noise. Sometimes it helps soothe baby.

> Yes, but copying a piece of software from a CD into program memory or onto my own hard-drive for archival purposes has been established as a fair-use exemption. So, if I legally acquire a copy of a program (say, I buy a CD), it can't impose extra restrictions after-the-fact through an EULA that only appears when I run it, and I am well within my rights to use my copy (e.g. by copying it into RAM/CPU icache to run it) even if I don't abide by the EULA, according to European Union jurisprudence.

We're talking about the GPLv2 though. It imposes no restrictions that copyright does not impose, so voiding the license is strictly a detriment to the licensee. The people who wrote it were very clever, using the power of copyright that is lobbied-for by the proprietary software industry.
> Also, I feel the biggest obsticle to IPv6 deployment is mostly the Enterprise firewall tech. Many residential users and mobile users have working IPv6 just fine right now.

I agree and I feel a little bit ashamed to be part of the problem myself.

Consumers use whatever they tech provides them by default. Which means devices can go from not supporting to supporting something within span of one generation of devices.

On the other hand, enterprise uses whatever their engineers know. And most enterprise engineers learned stuff a long time ago when IPv6 wasn't the thing and in environments where it did not make sense to deploy IPv6.

I never needed to learn IPv6 because incentives were always against doing so.
Same with Sim Racing in VR for me - the trick is small repeated exposure I found.

After a couple of days it was absolutely fine and I do 1 hour+ races in VR in iRacing without any issues - although the karussell at the Nordschleife still makes me a tiny bit dizzy for a split second.
Both can be true: They might just use ingredients of much lower quality now. You can definitely taste the quality of cocoa and fat - some high-quality brands have chocolates with single-origin cocoa, which can taste wildly different even though the recipe is the same.
I've played thousands of hours of Fortnite. It's not a buggy game. It's a game and it has bugs. It is still one of the most well designed and performant FPS games I've played.

I don't really play it now more because it takes too much effort to be good at it and my friends no longer play. But it's still quite fun whenever I jump on for a bit.

I understand it seems hard to describe, because it is very versatile and does a lot of things. But not describing it isn't helping. Even such a broad framework can be described in a couple of sentences. As mentioned above, they have it in their "Docs", but not on the home page.
It's to stop people claiming poor benchmarks without providing any way for people to replicate and confirm. It's the way that basically all benchmarks are done to be taken seriously.
If it is classic games you're after, there is a mini retro-console coming up in March/April: TheA500 Mini . It should provide the most out-of-the-box polished experience. You could pre-order it, but I would await reviews before I'd buy.
It comes with a replica mouse, and a gamepad inspired by the Amiga CD32 console's, both talking USB.

However, games back in the day hade been made for digital joysticks — which (I personally, find) are more accurate on diagonals than D-pads are. So, I think that a retro-joystick (such as the TheC64 Joystick from the same company) or vintage joystick with USB adaptor would be a must for the authentic experience.

A History of South India: From Prehistoric Times to the Fall of Vijayanagara by K. A. Nilakanta Sastri is the go-to 1955 book on Vijayanagara empire..there never was a glorious kingdom like Vijayanagara nor was there anything spectacular like it’s fall…

My first introduction to the region outside of what was then known as Tamil country was via Raja Raja Chozhan ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajaraja_I )from the tamil historical fiction, Ponniyin Selvan by Kalki. I knew he also wrote a first person narrative titled “Naan, Krishna Deva Rayan” of the later Vijayanagara Empire but I never got around to reading it. This post inspired me to look it up and it’s on Amazon Kindle if anyone else is interested. It’s in Tamil.
Ask HN: Short-depth rack server for home lab recommendation
Hi HN, I’m looking for a short-depth rack server to run small, general-purpose workloads and experimentation. Probably not CPU-intensive. A bunch of Docker containers, some microservices, nginx, a small PostgreSQL instance, etc.
It should be short-depth (< 15“) for a wall cabinet and of course run Linux well. Affordable would be great, but not looking for cheap. Any recommendations?
It seems to me bitcharmer was railing against the notion that you would have X MB of dependencies in your project folder. I was just pointing out that this is basically standard practice today(and the alternatives are usually awful) and that even if you do have your deps in the project folder, you don't usually check them into version control, so his entire point is moot.
My wife tried breastfeeding, it was too much for her and wasn't really working how much she tried.

We had all the pumps, techniques, just wasn't worth the stress.

The important thing is your child is being fed.

There have been multiple cases where infants have starved to death after being born because the mothers were convinced only to give breast milk, and couldn't produce enough.

We switched from 50% formula/breast milk to strictly formula.

If u aren't giving breast, there's additional vitamins you need to give aswell

Do what works best... In many cases it's not breast milk for everyone's health and sanity.

When we switched to ready made Enfamil, that was such a lifesaver for me and my wife

Singapore actually has surprising amount of nature (for a dense city state). Big forests are in the north but even in the south there's this coastal hiking trail that mostly stays within the jungle, with occasional parks/gardens etc. It took me more than 4 hours to walk it all.
I took a look at "awesome-dapps" to see if there were indeed any awesome dapps that I could try.

OpenBazaar - Closed Jan 4, 2021. https://twitter.com/openbazaar/status/1346104369566121986

SafeMarket - the getting started link says it's alpha, tells you to go to the subreddit, which is closed. The GitHub repo last had a commit in 2016.

Livepeer - a video streaming service that has no actual evidence on the website of anyone actually using it to stream any content. All the videos they have up on the Livepeer website about Livepeer... are hosted on YouTube. All the discussion I see of it on Twitter and their subreddit is about which exchanges the coin is listed on and the likelihood of it going to the moon etc. The actual utility in transcoding seems secondary to the speculative value of the token.

CryptoPunks - I hope the person who paid $23 million is happy with their purchase.

Thousand Ether Homepage - old school web nostalgia. Okay that's nice I guess.

"An open source sample iOS dApp that demonstrates a practical use-case in biomedical research: sharing location data by interacting with a smart contract deployed on the Oasis Devnet." Trusting a smart contract with your location data sure sounds like one of those ideas that'll end perfectly. Again, not an actual app, just some demoware.

Everything else on the awesome-dapps list are educational resources—books, tutorials, blog posts—not actual examples of functioning dapps.

If these are the awesome dapps, one dare not ask what the bad ones are like.
This is wonderful. Thanks!
I encourage everyone to disregard this article completely. A parent gets to know their baby’s cries naturally and instinctively. There’s no need to use cheats from some other parent’s experiences that really have a little value to the distinctiveness of your own child.
Mobile operators have a lot more client devices, and many weren't around as ISPs in the time when large allocations were being given out. Most adults have at least one phone, and many children too.

Wired connections tend to be one per household.
No neck issues, but lower back and core muscles are a problem, simply from too much sitting.

Physio sessions gave me some tips for how to relieve the pain when it flares up, and going to the gym for the last couple of months seems to have helped a lot.

Can't say I recommend a standing desk - I have an adjustable motorised one and while I do use it sometimes, it seems to just shift pain from my back to my legs rather than giving any actual relief.
> For All Things, the big challenge is handling temperamental chocolate in India’s hot and humid climate. Besides the risk of the chocolate melting on delivery, moisture can also compromise its quality, meaning that the company has to maintain just the right temperature in its kitchen. But on particularly humid days, especially during the monsoon season, production simply has to stop.

One thing I have noticed is that Cadbury in the UK is different from Cadbury in other Countries. I suspect they alter their recipes for the target climate - Cadbury in the UK melts if you look at it the wrong way, whereas Cadbury in Australia/NZ tends to do better in heat. Also they tend to have factories closer to their target destinations and they seem to have some trouble exactly replicating the conditions - perhaps background temperature, altitude, humidity, etc, also play a role.

Cadbury (UK version) is perfectly serviceable: it's sweet, milky/creamy, melts in the mouth and is relatively smooth. Some other chocolates may be better, but Cadbury is hardly bad at the price point. Contrast that to some cheap Lidl chocolate for example and it tastes rough and unblended, like all the components are there but they never came together.

If you're doing a bunch of chest exercises (which is great), I highly encourage you to stay balanced by working the opposing muscles as well, lest you end up with over-strung chest muscles that draw your shoulders forward.

Exercises like 15-20x3 lightweight face pulls are perfect. Another is shoulder IYTs. Stretching is also great.
In New Zealand 20 years ago they were a generally loved brand with the majority of the market. Since the Mondelez sale they closed the local factory and started making everything in Australia.

Besides the general drop in quality (palm oil etc) they got rid of popular products or changed their recipes. They still have a reduced but big share but other brands get all the respect.
Would an M1 Mac Mini be a viable option for the aforementioned use cases?
Would certainly be attractive size-wise. Nevertheless, I have a full-width 19“ cabinet.
That's ridiculous. In most game companies the bulk of testing is manual testing which is an unskilled repetitive job that has more in common with data entry than programming. You would get better results by only hiring devs from say visual artists.
What Is the Fibonacci Sequence?
This is fair, but you're only addressing one vector of empire collapse, which is through warfare with external forces.

Empires and kingdoms have fallen through internal systemic failures, both political and logistical.

The modern prevalence of nuclear war has obviously all but removed the risk of collapse via invasion, but there are multiple other credible collapse vectors for the present day 'empires'.
Multi-search-engine addon. Even no-query-interface website as search engines
Big Search is a browser extension (Firefox+Chrome) to use / switch any one or multiple search engines. Source code on Github <https://github.com/garywill/BigSearch> .

Already has 50+ search engines build-in and working. Still keep adding more.

Besides basic features, it is with some special technical features also. For example: some websites don't provide GET/POST interface to public (so-called Ajax-only websites). Visitor need to open their page and input, then they show search results on page via Ajax.

Big Search works with those. Can turn such Ajax-only websites into search engines and add them to browser.

Chrome Extension API doc ( https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/ ) is one of such Ajax-only websites. That's a simple one. There're more such websites with more complicated js involved to do search, which will be figured out in the future plan.

This is supposed to be heartwarming story but I'm personally a bit shocked that this 79 year old man now has to share a 1-room flat with another man (after 30 years of living alone) and has to work as a driver and doing some other low-wage jobs to sustain himself at that age. Give this man a garden.
How long is the average video? 1-2 hours? Then I think the average size of the videos will be 1-2 GB for FHD solution with h.264 compression; maybe double the size for fast compression. But even so, 700+ videos will require a few TB of storage only. You can buy some 1-2 TB mobile HDD to store them offline, just in case. It’s nothing fancy but very easy to handle, cheap and works in most cases.
Most people store their photos in this way, if I’m not mistaken.
You may think of it as a cognitive CPU cycle now, but when you’re actually a parent that’s not the experience at all. A lot of it just falls back on instinct right away, you use skills you didn’t even know you had, and before being put into that experience it probably seems like a steep learning curve, but the actual experience of living through it is different.
