I'm of a mixed opinion. I think lootboxes for kids could actually be good. Kids are in a position where they can spend every dollar they have on useless boxes and still have a place to live, food to eat, and resources for school. And I think that these games eventually give them a realization about how much of a waste of money it was. I saw people I went to school with spend all of their after school job money on loot crates and then realize they got very little from it in the end so they stop.

On the other hand, if it turns out they don't cause many kids to have this realization and it instead turns it in to a habit they don't grow out of, then yeah it could be pretty bad.

But without knowing that, it seems like kids are the only ones able to safely gamble since they can't truly lose.

Yes carbon steel cookware is seasoned almost exactly the same as cast iron. Although it's sometimes thinner, it's still quite dense and heavy cookware that's comparable to cast iron stuff in use and seasoning lifetime in my experience. It cooks just as fantastically well too--I love carbon steel pans.

You can support with a subscription, but it's not a scammy "we hope you forget to cancel this", you literally get the credit from your subscription to buy the full thing.

You don't have to buy anything! The code is free as in speech and in beer, but if you actually use the software for what it is used for, you get a lot of amazing benefits from doing so (ie; I'm a programmer, but if I'm making music I don't always want to be making presets, sometimes I just want to hear a bunch)

There's (less) danger of the company just going backrupt and being locked into their bitrot because the code can be forked and maintained (can is not will, but makes me feel better)
> Take this example

That's an example of a reply that is "unsolicited" and "also irrelevant", by your criteria.

I'm not trying to defend that combo here. You said such a screed is "also irrelevant", right?

That means even if a reply wasn't irrelevant, even if it was a useful response, it would still be unsolicited. Right?

Is that what you intended to say? Am I misreading something?
Yep you can, though a lot of systems that should know better also assume they don't have side effects. For example postgrest GETs happen in readonly transactions which would cause a problem if you wanted to use a system like this to keep an audit logs of hits to a certain endpoint or whatever.

I think you can use a standalone VALUES statement to avoid side effects? Those aren't well supported even though it's part of the SQL spec, but postgres does have them.
Chinese smartphone shipments to Russia plunge as rouble collapses
The Russian flag isn't Putin's exclusive flag; the Russians who don't support Putin and the war do not have a different flag from that one. A national symbol such as a flag isn't simply some signal of agreement with something that is happening.

> how would a Ukrainian dev feel having his project showcased in this list, under the Russian flag?

In any number of ways depending on their attitude, and in some cases, it might not be enough not to have the flag there; the dev in question might simply not want their work to be aggregated in a Russian's link farm repo, period.

Protein intake that low is just insane if you’re doing exercise that much. Your body will accumulate injuries fast, unless you’re defining exercise as lifting 1kg “dumbbells”.

Cutting carbs that much would mean you’re getting virtually all your calories from fat. Most natural sources of fats (nuts, meat, milk) also pack in protein, and you’d quickly be over 0.5g/kg. The only other option is chugging grease.

Not sure how a high exercise, no protein, frequent fasting diet is going to work. It sounds worse than a North Korean laborer’s lifestyle.
The Huberman Lab podcast recently had Dr. David Sinclair [1] and talked about food causing aging due to it's relation to mTOR. I don't remember the details that well but they covered it very well. My takeaway was if your priority is anti-aging fasting and limiting protein is better, but I personally prefer wellness and that generally means consuming higher levels of protein.

Honestly you’re right to point this out. And it’s because you’re right - and the reasons behind that - that I’m gradually working to abandon the Apple ecosystem entirely over the next year or two.
It doesn’t make sense for Apple’s shareholders to allow for past-useful technology to continue being used when their business model relies on new hardware sales, and they can just force you into buying a new machine. Because hey, what else you gonna do?

What are your alternatives, realistically? No access to older OS versions, no access to older App Store releases even if you could, and they won’t allow you to use any other App Store either.

You could try to jailbreak the device and see if you can find an alternative App Store (i think there used to be one called Cydia? Not sure if it still exists), but that’s a hell of a lot of work.

It’s just a little amazing to imagine that people doing the same work in different places of the country have such huge gaps in salary caps. I think the national average for a high-level software engineer is less than $150k per year.

When was the last time 98% of scientists got something important wrong?
I'm sorry, but you're just mistaken about how JSX works.

<Foo /> does not translate into a call to Foo(). It translates into React.createElement(Foo).

And Foo will only be called if the element returned from that call winds up being examined by some renderer like ReactDOM, mounted as a component, and actually rendered.

Here:

function UnrenderedComponent() {
console.log("UnrenderedComponent does not get executed");

React.useEffect(() => {
console.log("this effect never runs")
});

return "This won't get rendered"
}

function RenderedComponent() {
console.log("Rendered Component running")

React.useEffect(() => {
console.log("this effect runs")
});

const x = <UnrenderedComponent/>;

return "This will get rendered";
}

ReactDOM.render(
<RenderedComponent />,
document.getElementById('container')
);

I'll save you copy/pasting - here's a jsFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/gr4kxq81/

That code unconditionally includes the evaluation of <UnrenderedComponent/> in the context of a render method.

But the UnrenderedComponent() function does not get called, its useEffect call never happens, its effect code never gets executed, because the resulting element doesn't make its way back to ReactDOM to be mounted.

someBoolean && <MyComponent/> is not control flow, it's a simple expression that conditionally evaluates to an instruction to either not render anything, or to mount and render a MyComponent. It's cheap and side effect free.

My comment about 'assuming well behaved React code' was more directed at the fact that technically you can plug in a custom JSX pragma so you might not just be handing it to React.createElement, in which case all bets are off for what happens. But React doesn't call render methods for components unless they're mounted.

Another example of a product that commonly has a full refund clause is books.

But pay-per-scan is much more common. Examples include everything from trading cards to makeup to sandwich bread. The supplier will often restock these products themselves, so the store doesn't even need to track inventory.
I understood it was about statistical significance, but my point remains:

Who says Mac users aren't gamers? It's a self perpetuating vicious cycle: gamers use Windows because that's where the majority of games are, so developers keep targeting Windows, so gamers use Windows, and so ad infinitum.

But people who use Macs enjoy games as well. They would rather not dual boot to Windows.

It's not true that Mac users don't play games. Rather, it's that most games are on Windows, which is a shame.

> There is no all sides.

There are always "all sides". Always. To deny this is to deny reality.

> a big fat kid beating up a skinny kid when that skinny kid did NOTHING to the big fat kid.

Nobody believes this. Even you don't. So why do you say it? Russia didn't all of a sudden invade ukraine for no reason. There is obviously a reason. Whether you believe the casus belli is justified is another matter.

> you lose all moral high ground.

There is no moral high ground in war. Only winners and losers. And the winners will decide what the moral high ground is.

> i don't understand why people believe there is any sides to this war.

Because it's a fact. Every war has multiple angles to it because every war has different sides. Denying the obvious isn't going to help. Maybe it'll convince the uneducated. But you aren't going to convince intelligent people with such a zealous argument.
Seems to me like this is squarely Feedly’s responsibility, and everybody should be impressing upon then the need for the RSS Reader to behave sensibly.

I didn’t know about breakpoint(), which landed in 3.7, about a year after I stopped using Python regularly (I considered myself an expert at the time; now, the ecosystem has moved on enough and I’m rusty enough that I’d rate myself below expert, but able to become expert again in a very short time). Until hearing about this, if I were needing to debug Python stuff I’d have been perfectly happy continuing to use pdb.set_trace(), but breakpoint() is nicer now that I know about it.

This reveals something important that is easy to overlook: while you’re actively working in an ecosystem, you may hear about new things that come along, but if you spend some time away, things may well happen that you didn’t hear about, and so in some cases beginners may even surpass you in current idioms. It’s worthwhile, in such cases, at least skimming over some materials and especially the release notes since you were last an expert—if I were going back to working with Python/Django extensively, I’d read at the very least the headings of the release notes for Python 3.6–3.10 and Django 1.8–.
Google suggests fortnite skins cost at most $20

This doesn't seem like a very good benchmark. First, they appear to be recompressing jpgs rather than starting from the original input image, which seems incompatible with the idea of a compressor that spends the time budget where it does the most good. The places where the high quality is needed the most have already been compromised by the original jpg compression.

Second, they're only considering the output size but not the output quality. Sure, they're all using "quality 90". But why do we think that "quality 90" means the same visual quality across all these compressors? (And what visual quality metric would it be constant for?)
Test setup, as "suggested" by Intel marketing to anandtech consists of:

MSI Z690 $400

You have to be positively insane to spend ~$700 on motherboard and ram just to plop 4 core CPU in there. Remove the advantage brought by pairing this CPU with fastest ram and chipset available and you end up with Ryzen 3600 competitor.

There are plenty of Russians on Youtube commenting under pleas posted by Ukrainians asking them to help stop the war. And there are plenty of videos taken by people on the ground in Ukraine that show what's going on.

Lots of Russians actually believe that the strikes are precision and only aimed at the military targets. There's a video recorded by a woman in Mykolaiv walking among the rubble and cursing at her Russian relatives for not believing her while her city is literally under shelling.

But due to the way Youtube works, the Russian users are not very likely to come across those videos. Ukrainian Youtube users are trying to interact with them by replying with links to the videos.

If somebody from Youtube is reading this, I understand that you need to curb spammers who post a lot. But if you could somehow help with this effort, it might actually help change the public opinion in Russia. Maybe figure out a way to let the Ukrainians interact with the Russian commenters without getting shadowbanned?

Very cool work, congratulations on the launch! Can you comment on how you see the trend of edge computing evolve in the future for SBCs?

I'm just a hobbyist so I know very little of what people actually deploy in industrial settings - which would be your target customers.

A good programmer uses the right language for the task. A good language is one that doesn't need a community and a beast of an editor just to code something that compiles and runs.

An "ecosystem" is usually a sign of costly entropy.

> The first mRNA vaccine experiments were carried out by P. Felgner, J. Wolff, G. Rhodes, R.W. Malone and D. Carson. P. They completed a number of mRNA vaccination studies that resulted in nine patents on mRNA vaccination with a shared priority date of March 21, 1989. One experiment documented that NEF (an HIV protein) mRNA vaccination in mice, followed by HIV challenge reduced positively stained cells by 2-fold and p24 expression was reduced by 50% at eight weeks

Is that accurate or not?

I wonder how good the Chrome/Android PDF417 reader is? Is it just ZXing, or something else under the hood? For PDF417, ZXing is only OK. Unfortunately PDF417 is a pretty crappy format to decode with a sensor/camera compared to DataMatrix and QR which have much easier alignment targets and are designed for the sensor/frame based use case (instead of a 2D scanning laser). I wouldn't expect great performance out of BarcodeScanner / Android Chrome if it's just using Zebra Crossing under the hood.

Hackernews, I know not everyone here will be comfortable sending money for weapons.

But you can donate to direct humanitarian relief efforts here: https://kse.ua/support/donation/

The person that helped organize this left his university position in the US to go back to Kyiv days before the war started. He's there now. The war is not abstract to him.

To help the army with military supplies (first aid kits, bulletproof vests, etc) — but not weapons — donate here: https://www.comebackalive.in.ua/

And to support Ukrainian Armed Forces directly, go here:
https://bank.gov.ua/en/news/all/natsionalniy-bank-vidkriv-sp...

The National Bank has a separate donation drive for humanitarian aid; you can choose here: https://bank.gov.ua/en/

Then there's the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders (which, sadly, will be needed more and more in the coming days).

And even if you don't have money to spare, I hope you can find a place for yellow and blue for others to see.

To us, it's hope.

It actually means the opposite - never trust, always verify.
I work in the medical field and my brain cells have been constantly assassinated for years by bad presentations. Every once in a while I find unicorns - people who tell a story, teach and present using Powerpoint/Keynote slides as support - conveying information that is hard to put into words -> a photograph, an animation, some simple flowcharts to refer back to whilst talking about what is really the subject of the matter.

I've seen Powerpoint since medical school evolve from trying to squeeze as much information as possible on slides to utter nonsense and hundreds of words per displayed page. Heck, just stay home and automate your presentation to display the slides and mail them to your students instead, don't do this.

I've also been guilty when having to turbo half ass wing a teaching session of stuffing a lot of text in my slides. But I was aware this was not appropriate and I always tried to not be "that person". However, when you have 30 million presentations per day around the world, this is almost impossible to do.
