I credit the Kinesis keyboard for saving my career. I still have wrist and hand issues but nothing as bad as the years before Kinesis.
The companies behind the supermarkets have large back office complexes. The size of the back office tends to be proportional to the turnover of the companies. I’m Australia retail and primary industries make a substantial proportion of that.
One end of the spectrum of reasonable possibilities is that evolution selected for genes that cause and or favor death the older an organism gets, through implicit mechanisms like lack of regenerative capacity, such as heart tissue, or explicit mechanisms, of which I'm not aware of any. Are there any genes that explicitly produce a timing mechanism, and thereby create a built-in notion of aging?

To my knowledge, it's all implicit, resulting from wear and tear, the gradual degradation of DNA because of the nature of chemistry on the surface of the planet, and not because any gene or biological mechanism moves an organism through some programmatic notion of mortality.

This seems true to the extent that given molecular level control of an organism, current knowledge would be sufficient to maintain lifespan to an arbitrary degree. Barring sci-fi nanotechnology, genetics and anti-aging have to figure out more robust repair and damage prevention to extend lifespan.
How so? To me it seems like a general acceptance of things outside of your control. The idealist in me wants to agree, but I don't see a utopia emerging out of the bushes imminently.
You’re not the only ones doing it. The idea is developers do more testing, they think about it upfront and they have assistance from a QA lead who leads and coaches the quality culture across the development team. That QA leads embeds the skills in the dev team and oversees the quality. The QA lead can also be freed up to look at quality from other perspectives like is the product actually delivering value to the customer overall. The devs are already working across the SDLC so have the knowledge and the skin in the game to do a good job. It also works more efficiently with less handover which is better for frequent releases vs a time when releases were once every two years.
> The vast majority have no consideration for a 10 year old PC running a 10 year old OS. The python3.x they write will not run.

Python3 is just under 14 years old.
Do you believe you are correcting an error where someone claimed otherwise?
Different market, but Zone2-1 (a perfectly common commute) is £5.80 return = AU$10.18 in London.

Considering Zone2 is aspirational for many, not to mention those who'd rather live in the home counties (i.e. 'suburbs' I suppose) and get a certainly much more expensive train in (and then the tube) I don't find $12 questionable at all. But markets do differ! Interested to hear if that really is outrageous sounding in Australia.
I use Apple Pay 99% of the time, and with my credit card Apple Pay continued to work even when I had to get a new card number. Didn’t even have to wait for the new card to arrive in the mail before using it. The old inconveniences of a stolen card aren’t so bad anymore.
I can’t link to any projects, implementing network protocols per se isn’t what I focused on researching this. My focus was on optimizing postMessage between threads. They’re not that different but the important distinction is that the user-facing API is in JS, not a network boundary.

My hypothesis was that:

1. Converting to binary data

2. Using facilities for shared memory

Would yield better performance in a language well suited to de/serialize binary data, with a message encoding designed for performance. The latter does perform better! If you need to spend a lot of CPU time wrangling binary data, it’s a clear win. If you have a workload with many small messages, they invariably slow down compared to structuredClone. If your workload can avoid crossing the boundary that’s a clear win still. But the moment JS VM values need to get shuttled around, structuredClone is specifically optimized for structuredClone-able values, and optimizing the JS/native boundary for data which benefits from that is an extremely narrow edge case. The only way I’ve found to win is not to play.

That said I don’t have the cleverness a lot of performance geeks have and maybe there’s some technique I’ve missed! But I honestly can’t imagine how I’d optimize JS/native interop better than the JIT without finding myself getting surprising new career opportunities on a VM team.
I'm a professional sysadmin and I really can't say many good things about most Linux distros except they're open source.

Security, configuration, usability, documentation, driver support... it's all terrible.

BSDs are generally a bit better as they will at least have some level of consistency and decent docs.
One simple reason: too similar & then everything gets ported over, & the OS becomes YET Another Annoying OS Because It's Familiar But Feels Wrong. Yes, it's not great to have to make new, basic tools, but having tools that fit the environment is better than shoehorning in tools & demanding that compromises be made in the environment so that the old tools work more easily.
It's not about the videos. The main point it enforces is that you're supposed to hold hour tongue as your company engages in a kinds of intrinsically abusive and unethical practices (as long as you, personally, are not breaking the law). Still sound like $100/hr of fun?

Story of the idea: On May, 2020 I have developed a strategy on tradingview for an automated trading bot which work perfectly on Futures (1H timeframe) & Spot (15min Timeframe) trading, i have tried this strategy on exchanges like binance, coinbase and bybit. It's been almost 6 months now using this strategy and i couldn't beleive that it is literally working as unexpected, yes unexpected results. What i mean is i was expecting is the Maximum win rate of total trades per month 65% but i was shocked when my total trades results win rate is minimum 70% and maximum 85%. So i already thought about launching a trading signals service for Binance traders either they trade in Futures or Spot. So i have just launched a new Telegram Channel which i integrated it with Cornix Bot for automated trading due to many signals provided from my tradingview alerts. The Channel is private (Paid) but i can't just expect people to join this service without letting them try it. You don't have to spend a cent to use my service as well as integrating your account with Cornix bot in order to not miss any trades as Cornix bot also provides a 7-Days Trial so you can benefit from it, just link your Binance API Keys "Only Enable Trading Option" to cornix and enable auto-trading with my telegram channel and then let Cornix Bot do the rest. After 7 Days cornix will stop working, but by that time you will already have an idea about our Signals and decide if our service worth paying for it or not.

Okay the server issue is one server and I'm pretty sure it's a configuration problem between the DNS and active directory controller and I simply haven't put in the time to get to the bottom of it. Probably the sort of thing na experienced sys admin could fix in 5 mins.

Your response is reassuring that it'll get better. That this is a symptom of the lack of love our systems have had in the past.

I still want to get to the bottom of these crazy freezes.
We can learn a lot from Ukraine. High peer connectivity and node

I dunno if they'll accept it but I might actually submit a PR to add this to n2, because I also would very much like "ninja with jobserver" and it being written in rust it should be fairly easy to add since the code cargo uses for jobserver support is broken out into a very simple library.
Any data to support it?

There isn't any "data" on these things. It's a qualitative, holistic assessment of the risk-benefit tradeoff between two choices. Like much of life in general, in fact.
Could you (or someone) summarize some important points? I greatly appreciate the link but I can't read 360 pages right now on a topic I have almost no background in.
Neither of those have IBIS (stabilization) which is a big deal if you're shooting such large images handheld. Fine in bright daylight or on a tripod though.
Upload is a pretty good series on Amazon Prime right now that explores that. It's both amazing and horrifying.
I wouldn't be surprised if it is, article is a nice blend of philosophical and pragmatic. Though there are also several different mathematical objects called varieties (oddly enough algebraic varieties are completely different from varieties of algebras)
This brings me joy -- a problem well expressed, and a quick and helpful response

Well, that didn't age well.
The problem with your argument, which has been pointed out to you already, is that these allegations are based on nothing more than circumstances that look abnormal. Overselling or underusing seats is not proof that bribery took place. The shear $ amount of unused software looks particularly bad until you realize those are all the licenses that were purchased for all of the schools, and all school government related work for a country with millions of people. What's more, those licenses could have been purchased as part of an initiative that ran out of funding before it could be completed. Poor government planning is so ordinary as to be boring.

This so called whistle blower is pointing to virtually public information and saying, "but I think it's obvious!" The problem is that it only looks obvious to someone who hasn't thought about what else could be going on. Maybe it's impossible for so many suspicious events, but it's at least equally possible that if bribes are going on, Microsoft has no knowledge of it.
Not to be overly cynical or patronizing, but everybody should really know better than to trust zoom, or any for-profit company really, on things like this
It's really an elegant design, which is nice, other than the way that information is passed into the child process (roughly: MAKEFLAGS=" -j --job-server=3,4"), which requires you to argparse out the fd numbers.

It would be nice if a new, less cumbersome, environment protocol could be adopted.
Kidneys and Bollocks, that's the four-n-twenty pie right there.
The page you linked should but doesn't reference the actual study. The mortality reduction from non-golfers changed according to golf handicap not just according to playing golf.

"Golf: a game of life and death – reduced mortality in Swedish golf players" by B. Farahmand, G. Broman, U. De Faire, D. Vågerö, A. Ahlbom.

"Golfers with the lowest handicap (the most skilled players) had the lowest mortality; SMR=0.53 (95% CI: 0.41–0.67) compared with 0.68 (95% CI: 0.61–0.75) for those with the highest handicap. While we cannot conclude with certainty that all the 40% decreased mortality rates are explained by the physical activity associated with playing golf, we conclude that most likely this is part of the explanation. To put the observed mortality reduction in context, it may be noted that a 40% reduction of mortality rates corresponds to an increase in life expectancy of about 5 years." [1]

I suppose you could get a standard point and shoot (and if it's a holiday photo it'll likely be during the day so no major issues focusing).

However if your budget is a bit flexible (I'm probably making as assumption given the average HN user) there are very solid high end point and shoots that are meant to fit in a pocket. I remember Sony made one perhaps 3-4 years back, I'm fairly certain other companies would have also made such products.
There is already an experimental slices package btw. It will be part of the standard packages once the finalize it.

I once worked for a company that had a product which had a fairly complicated and time-consuming build process. Someone had written a distributed build process using the traditional CMD.exe shell scripting language. It was running multiple processes in parallel, and they communicated by writing and reading text files. Later they added PowerShell scripts. All in all, there were tens of thousands of lines of PS and BAT scripts. It was quite a nightmare.

The team was supposed to maintain this mess. We decided to create a compiler that translated .BAT scripts to C#. The idea was that the C# code would be easier to understand and modify. I left before it was complete, so I'm not sure how that worked out. But last I heard, they were pleased that some parts of it now ran thousands of times faster.
It's not explicitly stated anywhere, but this appears to be by the original author and one of the later maintainers of the original ninja, which probably puts it ahead of some of the other rewrites out there in terms of its likelihood of adoption.
It’s hard to work your hands for strength without working other significant muscle groups at the same time—like hanging from things or picking things up.

Likewise, it’s hard to work on muscular strength without also increasing your hand strength. To lift weights, your hands have to grip the weight.

So, there is a pretty strong correlation with overall health.

The one thing I’ll say is that hand strength is hard to get back if you let it fade. The muscles don’t grow very fast or very much, and you need strong tendons (which grow even more slowly) to transmit the strength to your actual fingers. So again, if you’re able to increase hand strength, you’ve probably got some other positive correlations like “works out regularly” and “cares about functional health.”

Rhodes writes that the cadmium solution had opponents. It would require months of work to get back to a workable pile, post contamination. This would have poisoned the 9 9nths pure graphite, it would have to be rebaked.

One slip... and the whole things busted.
Lucky! I had to scavenge them from the exchange boxes after workers visited them. I used to keep an eye out for the workers and return after they'd gone. This was in the late 90s, early aughts, I imagine they don't just leave garbage around like they used to.

It's odd to claim that's obvious when there are alternative explanations - the body is simply not all that optimized for old age because it isn't as much of a priority for passing genes and if such a complex system isn't optimized for it things are bound to give out.
I would say that in this case, it has.

I remember this OS project starting about 20 years ago. Since then, it haven't shipped much.

The idea behind it is to make the whole OS into basically a giant Java heap. Everything is an object, referring to other objects. It gives you some nice properties, because everything can become a capability which can't be forged. Also, everything can automatically be persisted and restored, Smalltalk-style.

The problem here is, of course, garbage collection. When not just your whole RAM but your disk storage is a mesh of pointers, GC becomes a resource-intensive task.

I wish they pivoted to building an OS for Opteron architecture; there the approach might have a chance to shine.
The license change was implied by the boobytrap. Are you saying they didn’t have the right to change the license?
That's what the two CVEs specifically mention, didn't see the README.

I suppose that's the point, it's not just Unicode being quirky, imagine trying to publish a paper on language X and its unique, dead, script. It'd be harder now in the 21st century without it being in Unicode than it would've been in the early 20th (without Unicode existing at all). What would you do? Append an image and refer to the characters numerically?
The PS2 was good enough to run Linux. The Xbox One and Series X run Windows 10 under the hood.
Still cheaper than hiring more developers, it is hard to make the business case for more robust software when outsourcing everything to AWS and throwing RAM at the problem is more cost effective than hiring bodies.
TTS is extremely useful - many people use car nav, TikTok, screen readers, etc even if they don't like voice assistants.

Neural TTS is so good now it's being used to fake the original voice actors in video game mods.

Aesthetics are important. While over-head poower is cheaper, its also ugly af. think long term.

Build a system whereby we build trenches all over the place - then lay cable. We need a trench-building platform.

Not knowing the cause doesn’t mean much, in terms of valid association, unless the effect deviates as people adopt the correlating behavior. If we don’t know the mechanism but it continues to produce the same result absent other unrelated factors, it’s likely in the chain or determining factors.

I've wondered what kinds of things we're doing both good and bad to our bodies.

For example, with modern society food availability is high. For example we could eat kale every day. Starving is optional. yet I've read that fasting is the way to metabolize senescent cells, but maybe nobody does it anymore.
The one I bought from them 4 or 5 years ago is great. Same with the water boiler. But I made sure to purchase models that are still made in Japan —- not all of their models are.

I bought them off Amazon, do sourcing isn’t difficult, but some research might be in order if you want Japanese manufacturing. You’ll pay more for these models as well — they aren’t the cheap or maybe even middle-priced options... (I believe my rice cooker was nearly $300, 5 or so years ago...)
Still plenty of them for OEMs/prebuilts, it's just people don't want to buy the extra PC around it, right?
True. It made me feel like microanalyzing one of their comments. Here goes:

On:

> What I couldn’t find was a sober, dispassionate explanation of what crypto actually is — how it works, who it’s for, what’s at stake, where the battle lines are drawn — along with answers to some of the most common questions it raises.

They left this comment:

> No technology is "sober" or "dispassionate" in its creation, nor is it neutral or apolitical, and thus anyone who is claiming to view it from that perspective is DEFINITELY selling you something.

First of all, no one said anything was sober or dispassionate in its creation. And it's trivial to come up with a sober and dispassionate explanation of many technologies, even political ones. I'm certain I can find a sober and dispassionate explanation of how Israel's Iron Dome functions if I really wanted to. And second, if you have a definition of "political" that's so broad that it includes literally every technology, it's not really a very interesting statement to say that some technology is political, right?
I'll Cry Tomorrow. By Lillian Roth. Lillian Roth was an American actress who was an alcoholic. Because of some tragic events in my childhood and because of my nature I believed that I would have become an alcoholic as well. The book, along with other influences, convinced me to never take a drink of alcohol. I never did. You can't become an alcoholic if you never take a drink. I have 5 or 6 friends/co-workers/relatives that I know are alcoholics whose lives are ruled by alcohol. They live absolutely miserable lives. My life was definitely changed by that book.
process_create(executable) would be nice start. the current model of cloning the current process creates a bit of a mess about what the parent and the child should share, and has overhead even in the exec case. now that we have threads, is there any utility in keeping the old fork() model?

not saying anything novel here, but just design a sane and uniform api.

there should be a way for the kernel to do a more controlled upcall into process space. that would scrape out quite a bit of rotten asynch implementation.
Im dealing with some python3 crap today on my main laptop.

Primarily, because of a library I compiled and installed, I'm getting other nasty side effects form it. Primarily that protonvpn-cli isnt now running becasue of some broken library.

I've never had bash break like that. Quirks, sure. But never this sort of brokenness.
I'd agree with the lip service, but there won't really be a final end to the commercial real estate because the sector has had a lot of problems for a long time and they haven't put effort into fixing it even post 2008. So it needs to implode to be fixed. The current players are just forcing status quo, but the world snuck up and digitalized. whoops.
If there aren't government subsidies or tighter regulations around donating blood, I unfortunately don't see any major changes happening.
And likely implies that they’re currently working remotely, meaning gas station attendant, grocery cashier, etc are already excluded.
I’ve said this before, but I feel it needs to be said again: working from home should be one of our top priorities when it comes to climate mitigation strategies. In addition to helping individual workers use less energy for commuting for work, we should also be helping existing commercial real estate weather the cost to transitioning to remote work by converting their massive roofs, in areas where it is possible, to solar farms.
Ha! In my initial draft I too spelled it Grauniad. And I agree, it's a totally different newspaper, but as far as I can tell, that's true for all the broadsheets (although in different ways)
