Tell HN: Some antidote against stupidity (part 1)
Clint Ehrlich is sharing on Twitter news about next hilarious stupidity that Russian propaganda machine has produced.

https://twitter.com/ClintEhrlich/status/1501690951323963395

Member of Russian Academy of Military Sciences -- Alexander Bartosh -- claimed America was developing gene weapons in Ukraine targeting Slavs.

That's right, Russian propaganda machine claims that United States developed a weapon specially targeting Slavic people in a Slavic country using Slavic scientists.

So they developed in Ukraine weapons that would target nations that are considered US allies like of course Ukrainians but also Poles, Slovaks, Czechs, Slovenians, Bulgarians and so on?

Yes, of course, this makes perfect sense to do that.

But in all seriousness, there is no such thing as Slavic gene. It is mostly cultural thing and people geographically close to each other share huge amount of genes. https://www.quora.com/Is-Slavic-a-genetic-or-cultural-term-Are-Eastern-Western-and-South-Slavs-the-same-blood

If you want to target Russians, you will end up targeting some Ukrainians, some Belorussians, Latvians, Estonians, Lithuanians, Poles and so on.

It is complete nonsense but this of course does not stop Russian propaganda machine to produce and spread it and it stops even less its gullible followers to swallow it, believe it and spread it even further.

To Make a Long Story Short: do not believe anything the Russian propaganda tries to make you believe.

> Every file in the tests directory is a separate crate, compiled to its own executable. This is a reasonable decision, with undesirable consequences:

Other problems with this:

- You have to link each test file which can be slow

- You get less parallel test running because you've broken things up into smaller parallel batches. cargo-nextest is a proof-of-concept that shows this problem [0]

- Fixture initialization reuse becomes trickier

Projects like cargo explicitly combine all integration tests into a single binary. I'd love it if we explored implicitly rolling everything up into a single test binary except for any explicit test targets defined by the user.

So many multivitamins, etc, omit iron out of fear of iron poisoning, that one can easily err on an individually-deficient side.

(The optimal window also appears narrow enough -- even people with temporary anemia must limit supplements -- that I would not attempt to rely on cookware to supply my iron requirements.)
This. When I lived in London I never got in my car except to make journeys out of London. Now that I live in a village (and not a particularly remote one; London is less than an hour away by train) I need my car to do anything.
If refactoring is causing you to struggle to fix the unit tests, then what you have really aren’t unit tests.

Unit tests should be cheap to write and cheap to reimplement. Otherwise GP’s right and the tests end up shackling you to an implementation, instead of defining the requirements programmatically.
I do not understand why you expect this from the company that tells phone users ‘you’re holding it wrong’. You’re using it wrong. It’s not a problem, just use it right. It’s just a small thing.

Apple isn’t going to change their products just because you can’t remember to charge them. Their target audience can. They aren’t going to switch to inferior batteries because you can’t use the product right, because most people can use the product right with no problems. And they aren’t going to make people use their wireless mouse while permanently attached to a wire. It’s not a better product if it allows that. So they don’t.

And if you don’t like it there’s a market full of wired and wireless mice on batteries or whatever you want. Probably a lot cheaper too.
Yes. You are absolutely right. My family member can afford to pay for it fortunately. It might not be in the budget for majority of people though unless you are desperate and nothing else seems to work. It literally doesn't make sense why insurers don't cover this treatment which might just save them a lot of money later on down if the affected person has host of other issues due to being overweight.

> scripting on the command line (anything bash can do, ruby can do better)

completely agreed. on a linux system, most of my shell scripts are written in ruby at this point, simply because it is much better to work with than bash.
I take a similar approach, but from a different angle: the widespread awareness of deepfakes is useful because people will stop relying on video "evidence" as evidence.

We already do this with photos. We don't necessarily worry so much about what's in the photo as who claims the photo is real and what the chain of custody was.

The same will be true for video evidence, even if or especially if we start stamping videos with tamper-proof signatures.

Under your theory, more respirations would work "in theory." I forget what they say about theory and practice ... Don't get an oxygen tank, "You'll burn your lungs out kid!"

Uncoupling mitochondrial metabolism can actually work with the risk that you will cook yourself to death from the inside out. i.e. 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) Look up the history and stories on this one! New mitochondrial uncouplers are out there now that modern pharma companies have caught on.

Squats and appetite suppression is the lazy person's way. I'd also look into the Country Club Wives' Club secrets. Nature or nurture?
So you are simultaneously arguing that most people are irresponsibly spending their money instead of saving for retirement, and also that it's impossible for them to save more for retirement? Then your example is a manager who epitomizes wasteful spending while still maxing out his 401k? I really have no idea what you're saying in this comment.
Can you comment on the total carbon emission compared to traditional method of producing beef? Assuming you can use completely renewable sources for all the electricity needs, how much more carbon is emitted per kg meat produced?
It's really bad compared to every commercial parametric CAD program I've used (SOLIDWORKS, Pro/E, NX, Fusion 360).

It's pretty bad compared to Solvespace too.

One of those FOSS programs like KiCAD where it is full of features but they've done absolutely zero work on UX, which makes using it a frustrating "ok you don't do it the obvious way, let me spend 15 minutes googling how to extrude a square" experience.
Thank you for a perspective which isn’t rooted in fear. What impact can we expect this to have on the quality of movies?
"You can't outrun a bad diet" - this right here.

Yes, regular exercise is important (lifting + some light cardio like power walking); but the real battle is around your food intake. Find a way of eating that works for you. Many of us find low-carb or macro-focused ways of eating helpful, mostly because of what you AVOID.
Maybe we will finally see the importance of photographically important messages such as government announcements.
I don't have links but it does make sense.

If you have the money to buy, e.g., an Xbox, saving it will not neccesarily return you the same amount of money to buy an Xbox in the future, because inflation raised the console's price more than the extra money you got in return of your investments.

If you buy the console right away, you can be sure that your asset is "One Xbox" in value, no matter the amount of inflation.
Skimmed through the "World Premiere" video featuring Ewan McGregor. It was very cringe. I couldn't help but think that all the tech it relies on creates more problems than it solves. Maybe I'm old school but I don't like that "Electric Vehicle" nowadays seems to be coupled tightly with "Computer-on-wheels". Outside of core car safety system innovations, I'd like a resurgence in physical controls and less digital tech in cars.

The median income in Switzerland is about $125k USD. That's more than twice the median in the US. It sounds like the affordability of $9/gal gas is greatly different. US politicians are actually suggesting things like a stipend or stimulus payment to help people pay for gas. Ridiculous, but that's how it is.
plant based, yes. I think ketosis is positive, but i don't think it's necessary on a regular basis. that's why i put the 20-150g range of net carbs. Fasting alone will handle the benefits of ketosis. But moreover you just don't want to spike your blood sugar.

> Ditto housing. I just can't believe that people are able to afford the prices of the past 1-2 years and must be paying beyond their means?

As someone who bought a house in the Bay Area last year, no. I think I could have spent 2x what I paid but I hate spending money and settled for something more reasonable.

Now I have a large safety net and more money to put into retirement. This is on top of having kids and paying for daycare.

I can’t imagine I’m that unique. I think there is a disconnect with people who don’t work at these companies and understanding how much you can be paid.
As I have argued elsewhere -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29929745

ADHD is a neurophysiological defect, and cannot be changed by just trying to "will" it away or by doing certain lifestyle changes. Granted, they can make it easier, but they do not solve the problem at it's source.

In a general reply to this entire thread -- trying to focus actually makes people with ADHD less successful at concentrating. So if you have ADHD, trying to force work is unlikely to help, and more likely to make the issue worse.

EUFA Wants Ukraine to Increase Anti-Piracy Protection, After the War
I've never been worried about this because I just assume that official outlets and websites will use some kind of verifiable encryption keys. Makes official official and everything else suspect.

Is this too simplistic an outlook? Are there different options? I'm not sure but I know that third party unverified content is always suspect. First party content less suspect. Verified content is ... verified. Still could be deepfake but then the risk is on a loss of trust.
that was my thought, as well.

curious to see, though, if popularity of other statically-typed compile-to-js languages will suffer if TypeScript syntax is adopted into the js spec (presumably causing TypeScript to gobble up more market-share).
"Crystal has a wonderful and extremely ergonomic macro system that Rust could learn from, one that doesn’t require ad-hoc reinterpretation of language tokens and that integrates seamlessly with syntax highlighting in editors".

What about zig, where there is no macros per-se, and you just write zig code which is then interpreted by the compiler...
I was looking for an example of using locals() to "fill a data class from kwargs" or something similar to that. The example here doesn't use locals().

That aside, I generally wouldn't use the kwargs approach shown in this example either. I'd use https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html or https://www.attrs.org/ instead.

Honest question. Why make meat? Why not use your resources to create nutrition bars? You have to source everything the meat needs to grow anyway (and what are those sources/impacts?), why not just press it in a bar and be done? If you're afraid folks will really miss their meat, so you want to ply them with meat, let me just say - folks who love meat will find the meat they love. They won't likely shift to reactor meat for environmental reasons.

Conscientious meat lovers will invest in regenerative agriculture, lobby for ending corn feeding, reclaim all that land, return it to natural grassland, and let ruminant animals do what they do best -- feed the soil and make meat.

I always say that Types are not there for the truly expert programmer. They are there for the rest of us. It's a lot easier to pick up code and understand it when you at least have an inkling as to what a variable or parameters needs to have to function.

Can interfaces be confusing, and generics become difficult to read? Yeah of course, but that's not really the problem of static type system, that's a problem with the code. I've generally found if you're doing something where you're thinking "this is just getting the way", you probably need to rethink your approach. Clear is always better than clever.

That guy is... Well, he was a large contributing factor to the previous Solvespace lead maintainer quitting. I find him both useful for bug reports and some feature ideas, but he can also be one to overstep (to put it kindly). He goes under multiple user names, and it's not entirely clear if he Ukrainian or Russian - he did contribute one of those language translations, but I forget which one.

Kable has been super helpful for my company so far! Our billing is pretty complicated because it's usage-based and we're customizing pricing for every single customer at this point.

The integration with Kable was very simple, took like 15 minutes to get a basic implementation working. It fires "billing events" automatically and then these can be applied to custom pricing options for every customer.

Love it!

You’re missing the long term. The inflation went down after having changed buying patterns, and that inflation didn’t disappear. Hence, it is (in general) always better to operate on debt than on cash as long as your interest rate is low (which has been the case for 30 years now). This drives up consumption patterns over-all.

Next, while this does drive the purchasing of investment class assets, those are not necessarily high-return. The reason the stock market keeps going up is not that everyone is suddenly making double the revenue. The stock market has turned into a ponzy-esque scheme where the higher and higher valuations are driven only by people seeing the numbers go up. The actual returns per share are not rising as quickly as the share prices.

Funny you should mention housing, as the housing market predictably crashed in 2008 (Ron Paul called it quite well, as did those who bet against the market). It will happen again as many of the same mistakes have been made. Even without derivatives on property, or even the easy lending, people have been taking massive loans due to interest rates, and this has driven a dramatic rise in housing costs. As more and more people are priced out, and rents continue to increase the potential buying/renting pool shrinks which will eventually cause another crash even if nothing else does.
> The commandments are targeting anybody deals with databases, not just DBAs.

Someone who is green to databases will probably not come across this article before finding other resources. If they did, they would probably learn more about The Notorious B.I.G. than databases.

I think that you are the intended audience for your own article. There's nothing wrong with that, but it should probably something that's posted on your own personal site rather than your company's blog. Otherwise, I would fear that the heavy-handed niche humor and topic conflation would confuse or put off potential customers. Thankfully, this seems to be an exception to the blog's typical content which is more focused.

Get your hormone levels tested by an endocrinologist. I interpreted weird, as "unusual". Most people will have hormone levels which are not contributing to weight issues they feel they have.

An underlying condition that affects, say testosterone, can result in much more limited impact from exercise. The situation is going to be very different for every individual. You may only need a very minimal boost to shed quite a lot of weight by getting closer to the middle of the normal range. Lifting weights or other exercise is often recommended as a booster for testosterone, but underlying conditions may be reducing the impact.

It is often unhelpful to search for information online, including Reddit on this topic, if you are not a skeptical type of person. There are people looking to sell all kinds of supplements, those that are abusing testosterone, people who feel like they need to be injecting versus using implants, etc.
Modifying the grammar to support (ignore) new TypeScript-like syntax is more than 'just comments'.
Five hours a week is no small investment. Focusing on calories/kJ in < out is much easier as it can be done incrementally, such as by not eating past a certain time of day, leaving out especially high sugar snacks, etc. There is no getting around obesity being a dietary issue.

That said, it's definitely not an either/or situation.
Yep, exactly something like this!

Implementation is the challenging part: the standard library and community ecosystem is full of legitimate uses of panic, and there are instances where panics might appear in the source code of dependencies but not in (optimized) builds.

the assertion, as I understand it, is that if you lived through a period of inflation your generation will be spending more, and not saving as much, for _the rest of life_, meaning even in low inflation periods like the 2010s
Right now, you can borrow a large amount of money (larger than pretty much any other loan type) at a low fixed interest rate and pay the bank back less than what they loaned you in inflation-adjusted terms. It's basically free money at this point, and one if the reasons I don't sweat my rapidly deflating salary as much as I otherwise would be.
To be pedantic, I think the issue is more with the word itself. "Debunk" implies "expose the falseness or hollowness of (a myth, idea, or belief)" which is too strong when it comes to a study, especially when it doesn't itself claim to "debunk" anything.

Maybe we could say the theory is "weakened" by the new evidence or that it is now more "controversial" than it was before. "Debunk" sounds like blue light having an impact or circadian rhythm is some random "fake news" that could be found on Facebook, when it is still backed by some decent evidence.
Rust's popularity is pure mimesis. C is fine, but it's not the hot new tech, you can't get a cool job writing C because it's "unsafe", so now we have Rust. And Swift.
Type errors are a user problem already, if they make their way into production.
You have to adopt an evidence-based approach, gather evidence from multiple sources and rate the credibility of those sources based on further evidence.

Truth is elusive even in science but that does not mean you can not get closer to it.

Truthful information really is "infrastructure" as well. Therefore government must support it. What if you can not trust the government? That is why we need total transparency of governance and we need democracy to vote bad actors out.
I actually write a lot of Scala and beg to differ. The chances for bad developers to write bad code in Scala are higher than most other languages but what you might call foot-guns are actually elegant ways at solving complex problems.

A lot of these "problems" (implicits, enums, etc) were solved with Scala 3 too. Another example of a language evolving and becoming better based on community feedback and thoughtful iteration.

The physicist's approach is a bit non-conceptual. From a mathematical point of view, a tensor is essentially an arbitrary multi-linear map. Think of the dot product, the determinant of a matrix (which is linear on each column but is not linear on a matrix), the exterior product in exterior algebra (or geometric algebra), a linear map itself (which is obviously a special case of a multilinear map), etc.

The coordinate change stuff that physicists talk about stems from observing that a matrix can be used to represent some tensors, but the rule for changing basis changes along with the kind of tensor. So if M is a matrix which represents a linear map and P is a matrix whose columns are basis vectors, then PMP^{-1} is the same linear map as M but in basis P; if on the other hand the matrix M represents a bilinear form as opposed to a linear map, then the basis change formula is actually PMP^T, where we use the matrix transpose. Sylvester's Law Of Inertia is then a non-trivial observation about matrix representations of bilinear forms.

Physicists conflate a tensor with its representation in some coordinate system. Then they show how changing the coordinate system changes the coordinates. This point of view does provide some concrete intuition, though, so it's not all bad. By a coordinate system, I mean a linear basis.

Hope that helps.
