I've not managed it completely yet but something that decimated (oo, literal usage) my social usage was to get rid of all the apps

The mobile web interface equivalents are usually decent enough to sate the addiction but the quirks and oddnesses that try to push you to the apps will stop you falling into doom scrolling

Also of course when you're up against an algorithm, get rid of the data. All the page likes, groups, friend-of-a-friends, etc you don't need - unlike. Or go nuclear and create a new account

Facebook for example has no content that keeps me coming back on my new account -- it even says that I need to add more friends to get more content, nothing at all on the home feed. I gave it up by accident :)
How to Prevent Visual Regressions
There are multiple other scenarios where the virus could become released into the wild again: infection by clearing up old storage sites, a laboratory accident, or some terrorist spending 100k US$. And all of these have happened (although the latter was "just" horse pox).

The idea that European languages or that a sizable portion of their vocabulary descended from Sanskrit is quite outdated. It was understandable that some people in 18th century could hold such views because they didn’t know better, in 19th century it wasn’t held by most if not all scholars, in 20th century it was disproved beyond reasonable doubt, in 21st century it can only be regarded as pseudoscience.
If you live in the north, the sunlight you might get is inadequate.

Also it’s hard to expose skin to sun zero temperature.

I’m guessing northern ancestors ate organ meat for supplements in the past.
You missed the word "almost" just before the word "perfect": meaning there is space for improvementes and any coding has, if you dig deeper, a never ending context. So, you see something "not so or not at all perfect" just name it to improve it. THX

What happens when someone uploads universally abhorrent, illegal, immoral, and harmful videos?
> Stratechery explains why.

I have experienced it myself, and anyone else can theorize all they want, but they can't invalidate my experience.

As an example, I can no longer use YouTube for tutorials, because they have no dislike signal visible to me, and as such, I can't judge whether they are worth watching.

I can not stand Reddit's new UI. But even with the old UI, the massive amount of users attract a lot of heavy-handed moderation, which also turn me off. I use it for "entertainment" and not "research" or "speech".

Even though HN has much fewer users, it is among the few platforms where I can use it for real speech, like deep insight.

Many platforms have such a low signal-to-noise ratio that I am wasting my time on them, and don't find them useful for neither entertainment nor speech. I don't care what Stratechery says I like, when clearly I know myself better.
I assume that Russians know how to film their own porn. Blocking it would just remove any competence and benefit the same mobsters that traffic with women in Russia.
Russian is spoken in many countries outside of Russia.

My former girlfriend is from Estonia and speaks Russian natively.

I have colleagues who are Ukrainian and speak Russian primarily.
How is it not true? Overeating / over-sugaring is at least close to smoking in its aggregate detrimental effects. So many health problems are caused by overweight.

If people feel this is a ridiculous comparison, they need to be corrected. The lowest common denominator does not dictate how I communicate.
i have had some sort of psoriasis in my feet and palm of my hands for the almost 16 odd years now. the feet used to have wide gashes that took years to heal. i would spend months lubricating with vaseline and a sarin wrap style plastic covering to keep the grease in contact with the skin...
over time, the feet started to heal, one foot is completly fine, the second one still has a 2 inch square size piece below the ankle that gets super dry, starts to break and super exfoliation making me go "scratch scratch scratch".

left hand, well same thing. i would get a gash in the palm and it would stay an open wound for 2-3 years, get better and then again on its own.

for the past 6-9 years the hands had been pretty much fine but this year i am seeing signs for skin getting "patches" like you get if you just burn the top skin layer, just a tad bit dark. it gets scratchy very easily and so is the urge.

for the first time in my life my right hand palm is showing "patches" which is totally new to me.

i was diagnosed with "hyperhidrosis" back in 2012, got that aluminum chloride or whatever antiperspirant but that never worked. it made my skin super dry and the base problem got worse with it...

they had told me that this is an autoimmune disease so "you gotta weather it out"...

i will definitely try VitD because improvement in my hands and feet would definitely be a quality of life improvement for me personally. its been to a point i have a slight tilt in my left foot because of all the tip toe i had to walk for years because i could not put my heel down in school/road/etc ...
The weather seal may not have been breached. If you put your camera together in a nice warm house, then it would have trapped warm moist air inside it. When you carried it in the cold, the moisture in the air would have condensed.

Best advice with batteries is to keep them in your coat pocket, where they stay reasonably warm.

Certificates, certificate chains, certificate installation. In theory the concepts sound easy and there are numerous guides and instructions online. Once you try to become your own CA the challenge becomes real. Trying to write an automated solution cross-OS feels like running a marathon on your hands.
It is a rather peculiar suggestion, as it is important to note that letters of marque is basically only a thing in international waters. Inside harbors and territorial water the coast guard and military has a lot of freedom, and its a fairly recurring event that boats are sometimes denied permission to leave. Boats can also be denied to use specific water ways, in similar ways that roads can be disabled for general use. Naturally, boats that are stuck because they are not given permission to leave territorial water is still property of their owners, in a similar way that frozen assets of sanctioned individuals are only frozen.

Law of the Sea Treaty, which was signed fairly recent, have United States claiming control of 200 nautical miles from the coastline. In theory they should be able to force any ship to go into harbor and stay there.
Even more minimal is "EZ News" by Alex Kras, it's 85 lines of PHP: https://www.alexkras.com/eznews/
I think that may actually be considered buggy, and the actual definition should be

long add(int x, int y) { return x + y; }

with the caveat of course that `long` is larger than an `int`, which I can't recall if it is valid on all platforms. So mathematical u32 + u32 should be u64, but you can define an `add` function that has strict overflow behavior.
Low-quality playback equipment. Mastering music correctly makes it sound "worse" on crappy hardware. But mastering it for crappy hardware makes it sound worse on quality speakers.

Some people backed the wrong horse. Much music exists mastered for old shitty car stereos and earbuds and the like. Sometimes, the original recordings are lost or nobody bothers to remaster them.
I spent the year coming up to the release of Mac OS X in flame wars adamant that Apple including Terminal.app in OS X would bring down the end of usability on the Mac, and it would bring an Era where all users would end up being forced to use it for certain tasks...
They are, if you dig far enough. The first is from the latin status (state, position) [1], the result of the verb stare (to stand), from the proto-indo-european root sta/ste. The latter is from the latin testis (witness, c.f. testimony) [2] which deconstructs into ters (third) and -stis (the act of stare), meaning quite literally "a third party standing by".

It was illegal but nothing ever got enforced out of my own experience.
I upvoted, I agree that Jobs was lying, but I disagree with your conclusions.

The browser's language is a natural monopoly.

Flash did one thing - animation - really well, and everything else badly.

Simply the inability to bookmark a location inside a Flash presentation meant that you could never use Flash to write your whole site - it was always going to be blobs of Flash on top of a fundamentally HTML structure.

Once we, the programming world at large, saw with Gmail what could be done with HTML/JS/CSS, the writing was on the wall for Flash.

(And also Flash was insecure; and there was no way to throttle poorly-written Flash applications running in the background on some random page, so very quickly the smart kids would only enable Flash on-click.)

Logically, there was no need for Flash to exist. Everyone saw pretty soon that all the facilities Flash had should be put into JS, which has the additional huge advantage of being able to manipulate the DOM.

Adobe didn't help it particularly with some fumbling, but they weren't ever going to win that battle, and they got out of it quite gracefully when it comes down to it.
Yes it is, but what else is left to protect your software?
My macOS peeve: truncated file names.

You can see the problems in the screenshots in the linked article: Files with visible names like "Screen Shot 2021-07...AM.png" and "Screen Shot 2021-0...AM.png" and "Screen Shot 2021-07...AM.png" (again) and "Screen Shot 2021-07...AM.png". The information distinguishing these files from one another has been replaced by the ellipsis.

The same problem exists in iOS. In the Music app, for example, I have playlists in which the list of track titles is something like:

Bach Cantata No. ...

Bach Cantata No. ...

Bach Cantata No. ...

Bach Cantata No. ...

Bach Cantata No. ...

and there’s no way to display the rest of each title. I don’t know how other OSs handle this, but it should be possible to distinguish files from each other at a glance regardless of how long the names are.
When I moved to another country where Youtube Red/Premium wasnt available, when I eventually contacted Youtube support they refunded the past 6 months of the subscription.
As someone that lives in Massachusetts. The trucks make sense. Most everyone knows that the insurance surcharges from an OUI aren't applied to commercial registrations. So it is a way to beat the surcharge.
Casey is great but at times a bit... zealous? I distinctly remember him talking about how worthless having a file system is on a server, or for that matter an operating system.

His work stands at one extreme of how to architect a program, and is an extremely valuable reference, but he states his opinions as facts and that can be detrimental for the beginners he markets some of this material to.
True. I think that's mostly an edge case though. The vast majority of the time it's the police forcing a person to unlock a device.
Most of the French feeds are actually in English (although from French news agencies). And there's something off about the Twitter panel because half of the feeds are in Japanese.
This happened years ago in cryptocurrency terms.
Doesn't work this way. Might is right. You are talking emotionally. Ukraine is fighting this alone with not much military assistance. Why on earth Russia leaves and pay? Who is the law enforcer and judicial system ensuring that happen? Oh yeah whoever has the biggest gun AND willing to use it. Hey, that happens to be Russia too.
HtDP vs the course by Gregor Kiczales? And why HtDP if I may ask?
Show HN: I wrote a load balancer with XDP and Go
Facebook's Katran looked too scary (and I don't do C++), so I thought I would investigate using XDP/eBPF to redirect packets at high speed and Go to do the control plane work of health-checking backed servers and managing configuration. With luck the resulting binary should be easy to deploy by non-developers.

It's still not mature, but seems to work. Code was written in a very exploratory manner, and I'm not a developer
so it is quite shocking at the moment, but I aim to improve it. It is intended to be horizontally scalable with ECMP and has been tested on service providing 40Gb/s with a single (hardware) node at ~30% CPU utilisation.
Flutter is not an alternative to Qt, not even close. Not to speak about C++ compatibility. If anything, things like GTK+, WxWidgets, EFL are on the same page, albeit less polished and advanced.

Using a wire, at least, makes it less stiff in torsion since a regular «metal tube» will have bending and shear stiffness. But then, it’s a tradeoff which could be worth it for some casual bikers!
Fantastic book, I consider it as the missing link between CS theory and development/engineering. Thank you!
Afaik using the 144p version would be terrible, as YouTube couples the audio bitrate to the video resolution.
The semantic connection is as much of a coincidence as the fact that they're anagrams. Testament is from a Latin word meaning "witness"; statement is from a word meaning "stand" or "standing".
> are not the ones making the decision you're objecting to

No one is making this as a decision. Restaurant owners that have tried to put in place a no tipping policy have customers tip anyway because Americans are uncomfortable not tipping. They then think, somewhat accurately, the restaurant has high prices. We are stuck with a bad system.
If you don't believe in the Loudness War, or think that you can't hear the difference, here is a challenge for you:

Grab Metallica's Death Magnetic. Listen through it all the way.

Now find the Guitar Hero III remastered version of the same album, listen through it.

I guarantee you feel exhausted after the official master version, because there is no dynamic range, it's just a full spectrum of noise.

I don't think there is any reason to believe laws against piracy are effective at reducing piracy. I think the people who paid for Russian language software before will continue doing so as long as they can still make the payment.
Shouldn't you write

return (long)x + y;

to ensure the addition happens after the conversion to long?
Sure, you ignore them and lock on a nearby pole. Those bike racks are useful if you're sitting outside drinking a coffee and just don't want to keep your bike upright, but completely useless if you need to leave your bike unattended.

Luckily cities (at least where I live) are coming to their senses and very slowly starting to provide decent infrastructure.
The tweet and majority of its replies are in Russian. Viewing on web, only the tweet is instantly translatable to English. There is no other source or evidence for the claim immediately available in English. I am not refuting the claim but it seems a little odd that police would be able to instantly unlock a password protected iPhone in person without some kind of other clue or social engineering. If this is true, surely this is a much bigger problem around iPhone security? Seems a little odd.
I once had to reverse engineer a geo IP database file from their source code, and I saw they were using a segment tree to map IP ranges to a location.
>That Apple would criticize Flash for being closed-source is absurd, but that people would repeat that as a valid criticism is baffling.

That's how propaganda works. You need a lie and some newspapers to amplify it. Jobs was a "good" propagandist.
These kind of bike stands should be retired anyway because they offer little protection. It's trivial to take a wheel off the bike, don't even need tools because most bikes use quick release levers.
I was intending offensive Long-Range Missiles. Why do you think guided antitank weapons is a problem for Russia security?
It doesn't have cheaper prices, it just has misleading marketing. They should be fined for not showing the real prices. If a tip is mandatory there's no real difference from a bribe: you're supposed to pay someone, without it being clearly documented in the price.
I'm in a somewhat similar position. I have built and programmed several prototypes. Currently I'm building a website and plan to present the working prototype of one such project as a MVP. Based on what I have been reading on various blogs, I plan to conduct several email and social media marketing blitzes.

I have only recently joined YC Startup School and hope that I will be able to make some suitable connections. If you'd like to connect, please take a look at my HN profile page.
I am genuinely perplexed by your position that failing to give a tip for mediocre service is amoral, yet failing to pay someone a living wage is just kind of expected.

Honestly, American restaurants shouldn't even bother putting prices on the menu. Between the tipping culture and the taxes it's impossible to guess at the true price of an item.
It's more the case that the wider the aperture, the more the thing needs correcting for aberrations. A fixed focal length prime lens is much easier to correct than a zoom lens, because all the aberrations can be optimised down in the design. For a zoom lens, the aberrations need to be controlled while parts of the lens are moving around in weird ways.

I have a 18-50mm F/2 zoom lens. It's a really nice piece of kit, but I noticed that at the extreme wide end of the zoom range, it has quite catastrophic coma. Zoom lenses are hard.
This isn't true, at least in Israel.

"Faith" is a big word, but for many/most haredi people "community" is the more operative term. Leaving a sect means becoming an outsider. All their family and friend relationships are insider-based. Regardless of the severity of luteral shunning practices, the nature or haredi lifestyle makes these aspects severe regardless. There's a lot of variance between communities though.

In any case, people do leave. Often, it's relatively early in life. This is why haredi communities are so leery of military service, college lifestyles and such.

People also join. A lot of Chabad adjacent communities are largely converts and 2nd generation members.

I would also emphasize that lifestyle, community, belonging, mission and such tend to play as big a role as belief in convincing converts.

Judaism doesn't always emphasize belief in its definition of "faith." At least, far less than Christianity and Islam. This a philosophical tradition going way back. Faithfulness and even spirituality are often seen as concerning practice (ritual, but also moral) moreso than concerning faith.

Belief follows practice, and if it doesn't... at least you have practice. The Christian Brothers pinched this line from an old rabbi.
I wonder if this will be the end of the "software market." Wars tend to kill silly things.
Yes! I don’t “like” it in the same way I enjoy Crystal or Ruby syntax, but I like it as a pragmatic choice: it’s fast, it’s simple, it’s predictable and boring. I have extensive experience with node.js and would choose Go over it most of the time. It reduces the mental and maintenance overhead significantly.
That's only a choice for Putin and his inner circle. The wast majority of Russian people have nothing to do with what the state is doing.
As other comments say, duration of exposure depends on time of year, distance from equator, level of skin pigmentation, etc.

One other factor I didn't see mentioned (or I just missed it) is amount of skin area exposed to sunlight. Generally it's recommended to protect sensitive skin of face/neck. Exposed limbs, trunk are somewhat less vulnerable to sunlight injury (but varies with skin type). When sunlight has little penetration of layers of clothing it obviously doesn't cause Vit D synthesis in skin.

In northern US/Canada, European countries, vit D supplementation is more reliable, possibly safer re: cancer risk. However a lot about Vit D remains controversial. It's still unclear what the optimum target range is (as measure by blood level), and just how much Vit D is too much. As it is now, lots of expert opinions but no consensus in in sight.

Finally Vit D accumulates/declines gradually. High doses (50k units) are used in deficiency states, normalization of blood level typically takes a few months. Well worth doing for sake of bone health, and other body systems too. In Vit D insufficiency (low but not as low as deficiency) OTC Vit D is probably enough, but people should ask their healthcare providers about what form and dose are best.
You can't say "you went into an establishment with cheaper prices and knew this was a requirement" when there is no actual choice - it applies everywhere as far as I've seen; it's not like I can pause my business trip to the US and go to another country for lunch.

in that vein, is there a list somewhere of American eateries which pay non-poverty wages and therefore adopt tipping practices which are less morally reprehensible to us foreigners? I'd happily go out of my way when in the US to avoid this particular cultural norm.
Never said that. I meant to get across that a systemic issue doesn't excuse you making it worse.

Yes, this is essentially the case I'm making: if this implementation of binary search is buggy, then so is the addition operator in C (and many related languages).
Long time ago a friend from a country I am not naming, told me, that it is also important how to bribe the officer. While they want your money and bad things will happen if you do not give it, bad thinks will also happen if you do it too blatently, since this could be considered insulting. The only phrase I remember is that one can ask 'could I pay the fine on the spot' (in case they want to book you for some imagined traffic violation).
>Wars tend to kill silly things.

That silly thing that has provided a good living for me and my family for the last 25 years.
I will not tell you how to do anything that can harm Ukrainian people.
Depending on the complexity of the task, I often listen to podcasts like twit or lan which I can tune out if concentrating. Factual podcasts are best, like news or history, nature, etc. A lot of programming tasks are really repetitive and boring (like waiting for this to compile, testing..), so having something to listen to does help

Sometimes you just need silence though!
Not just for a job but people also pay (or made to pay) high price to get 'transfers'. If you a are govt. school teacher or doctor you'll likely be posted at a place which is very far from your residence just so that you'll be ready to pay a hefty sum to get transferred to a nearby location.
