Hi! Being able to scroll through messages quickly has been a core design goal for the Zulip web application from the beginning, and we're not aware of any significant regressions here, so I'd like to get to the bottom of it.

I'd love it if you reported what you're experiencing in #frontend in chat.zulip.org. We'll want to collect a profile from your browser, so we can figure out why you're seeing choppy scrolling.
These all now are virtual state machines, which store some state and convert all kernel/bus behavior to interaction with connected via network devices.

At the moment there are lot of such devices - exists for sure many full featured, like Raspberry; but also there are network connected ATA drives, network connected sensors, RAM, ROM (Flash); BTW IEEE 1394 FireWire is serial interface, could been used as networking bus; exists adapters ethernet-usb (and many commodity devices work well with such connection), so virtually anywhere could been considered as connected via network bus.
Even exists USB 3.0 to PCIe adapter, to use PCIe device throw USB connection.

And in reality exists problem, that FireWire so distributed, that it where possible on Macs with FireWire interface, to read memory via this interface.

So hardware and software exists, but need some steps to make it's usage safe.
>Ethereum applications will now be able to access liquidity on Serum, the decentralized exchange built on Solana.

This might be a ridiculous question, but doesn't every layer that abstracts further from the blockchain lead to further centralization?
I mean, you can buy a Mach-E, a ID4, or any of those bigger cars for folks like you in the 95% height percentile?
wonder why we don't have a plat a tree tax credit?
Seems obvious; like, did someone expect all the extra abstraction would make Go faster?
There is a huge amount of research about distributed OSes (really, they were very fashionable at the 90's and early 00's). Plenty of people worked on this problem, and it's basically solved (as in, we don't have any optimal solution, but it won't be a problem on a real system).
Hopefully governments do what they do best; get out of the way.

There will still be plenty of jobs for drivers for the next 10-20 years. We'll see a mix of people retiring early, retraining, and switching into support and operational roles.

Out legal system is extremely flexible and will easily accommodate self driving cars. It already handles more complex ownership issues related to product liability.

There won't be a problem with fake taxis just like there isn't problem with fake mail delivery (delivering bombs for the "lols").
It is not just UAC though - when your daily driver is NOT an adminsitrator then how is most ransomware or malware or whatever going to run and install itself in the first place?

UAC still pops up whether you use an admin account or not - it just requires the admin password when you use a standard account (which is, of course, still more secure). But the real advantage is that the account you are using does not have those admin privileges in the first place.

The other big advantage is that if this account is compromised in anyway (say if you used the same password to login to Chrome and Windows on your standard account) the hackers only get the password to your non privileged account. Of course this can be mitigated as well by really good password policy but I find for the average user they often re-use passwords and separating the two accounts forces them to often re-use the one that matters least.
> We know the rational truth is that the AI drivers are millions of times less likely to run us over than human drivers

Thank you for a textbook example of begging the question.
I know the answer is "yes" because the majority tends to have a point.. but are there good reasons, beyond backwards compatibility, for languages to be using IEEE 754 floating point arithmetic nowadays rather than just storing decimals "precisely" (to a specific degree of resolution)? Or are any new languages eschewing IEEE 754 entirely? (I'm aware of BigDecimal, etc. but these still seem to be treated as a bonus feature rather than 'the way'.)
Interview with Brian Kernighan: Wisdom from 50 years in software [audio]
That is sadly often true today, but not inevitable! When you are overwhelmed with complexity, a natural defense mechanism is to restrict choice. But with better tooling, you can better manage and reduce complexity, which allows you to say "yes" to developers without compromising on reliability and security. That is what we are trying to enable with Dagger.
Climate action messaging is less effective when driven by guilt and fear
> "In March, a Ubiquiti employee warned that the company had drastically understated the scope of the incident, and that the third-party cloud provider claim was a fabrication. On Wednesday, a former Ubiquiti developer was arrested and charged with stealing data and trying to extort his employer while pretending to be a whistleblower."

This does not seem completely obvious. He uses "Ubiquiti employee" as the source of his first story, and then "former Ubiquiti developer" as the guy who was arrested when it was published. These are two different descriptions used just a sentence away from each other, making it sound like two different people were involved.
It has always been permitted to not make your code as clear as it could be, and always will be. Each of us may choose to help the person reading our code, but not all of us care to.
my prediction is that, as more cloistered elite continue to abdicate themselves from the responsibility of paying taxes, the states desperation to backfill the shortfall will inevitably result in filing reforms including legitimate free filing regardless of lobbyist efforts as the alternative --tax reform for the wealthy-- is much less popular.
> It wouldn't work because what would happen would be a mass reapproval of all regulations.

Sunset provisions are an idea I tentatively like until I consider what happens with the fucking stupid, pointless "debt ceiling" crap Congress has decided to make themselves do. I imagine how fun it'd be watching months of idiotic brinksmanship over keeping murder illegal, because one group of legislators wants to grand-stand about abortion. Then repeat for practically everything else.

No thanks.
Look at your experience in the worst possible way - because that is how hiring companies may see you. You stopped coding, so your are rusty at best. You haven't had a job in 4-5 years. You have no actual managerial experience. So to hire you as a manager, they basically would be giving someone with 5 years of rust on them a shot at doing a job they have never done. That is why they are giving the jobs to other people.

I know that take on your history is unfair. But the question you need to answer is how to fix that perception? Did you lead people when freelancing? Did you manage budgets and payroll? Were you accountable for business results? If so, show those things in your resume.
Also they want to lure you into using their own app by hiding the little link that allows you to get a normal OTP code.

That bugs me more than anything, I don't want another app! I have over 30 codes in my open source OTP app, how would that even look if everyone wanted me to use their app?
> Suspension failures are not particularly common

Only because we regularly service them by replacing bushings, CV joints and ball joints regularly. And shock absorber failures are still commonplace.

> EVs aren't that much heavier

They're much heavier. It's obviously hard to make a direct comparison because there's no such thing as "equivalent but with an ICE engine" but a Golf E weighs about 250kg more than a Golf GTI.

> there are plenty of crazy heavy ICE vehicles that work without issue

And they have heavier duty components which require more servicing and are more expensive to replace.

> None of those costs matter, compared to ICE.

Can you show me some evidence for this? I am not making the claim that EVs are more expensive to maintain than ICE cars, but you made the claim that wear and tear costs (aka maintenance costs) on EVs are "negligible". You will need to show some receipts for a claim like that.

You can get programatic access to keypass databases. Not sure if there's out of the box support though.
The challenge here would be getting all those miscellaneous hardware drivers to be ported to SerenityOS. Some hacker might write Serenity drivers for their particular desktop, but that won't do you any good unless you have the exact same hardware. A Raspberry Pi might be a good target, but Serenity OS is currently x86 only. So realistically, Serenity on random consumer hardware is unlikely to ever happen.

Fuchsia is in a similar situation. Google may start pushing Fuchsia on some limited set of hardware, but I don't see a reason for them to start writing drivers for anything other than hardware from Google or Google partners.

Now, I could see SerenityOS as an option inside of something like Qubes OS. Here, the hardware is abstracted so you could run it on whatever. There may be some limited security through obscurity benefit to running an OS so far off the beaten path.

Like you, I'm dumbfounded by the achievement of Serenity OS. According to the Readme, Serenity OS is "a system by us, for us, based on the things we like." I don't know that making Serinity OS a daily driver for anyone who isn't interested in hacking on it is an actual goal for Andreas.

Not at all, because I know that if the driving conditions change and I have a feeling the car won't do well, I take over. In other instances, where I know the car is going to do just fine, like driving on the freeway, I enable it.

FSD/Autonomous driving isn't an all or nothing scenario for me. I use it when I deem it safe to be used, and drive manually every other time.
I agree with you about the project being a joy for the developers.

But as a user, in no way I would rely on a browser started in 2020 written in c++ (or in zig, given other comments about its security characteristics). Keep in mind that gecko/webkit were written initially in c++ because c++ was the best language available at the time for these projects. This is not true anymore.

They were cheering it on a week or two ago when it was against Russians.

My favorite was when they were licking their lips and reaching ecstasy over Parler getting deplatformed but then throwing a tantrum like a week later when Terraria dev got banned by Google.

Terraria guy and this guy simply need to build their own Google, Gmail, Play Store, and Android, easy! ;)
In the Apple TV series Foundation they do that, including extending beyond the family to any kind of connections, friends and etc. Eventually including something around 1500+ individuals tied to one person. The point being to eliminate whatever impact that person had on the universe.

Maybe Google's algorithm is more concerned with being a tyrannical emperor than we think ...
> * cars doing the minimum to stay 'in traffic' to avoid paying high fees for parking

> * far more miles per car because the biggest limiting factor (the presence of a driver) will wall away

> * huge CO2 impact (negative) from all these extra miles

These are all very important. Most cars on the road are single occupancy. Once we can have zero occupancy the problem will only get worse.
Even though I do not use it professionally I think Hyper-V is very underrated - it is built in for free to many versions of Windows 10 and is pretty easy to get a VM running even by the average power user type person.
Waymo and cruise vehicles are much safer for bikes than other drivers in my experience. I've been commuting by bike in SF for years, have a near miss every few days but never even close with a waymo vehicle. Every single time I've been hit has been a door, another bike, or a taxi. Taxi drivers in SF seem to see themselves as natural predators for bicycles.
The question was regarding alerts, not dashboards. We obviously deploy dashboards from json.

But I'm not aware of any way to deploy notification channels, probably can do that now via API. But either way we need to deploy notification channels with webhooks and tokens so that part is done manually. And then the alerts is also done manually.
DOL ~= DMV = RMV
I do wish you luck with that, but I note that there's another discussion on HN today about why most blogs have turned off comments. Most of the posters agree that bots and spammers are a huge problem that outweighs whatever value they get out of it.

Some podcasts I follow have a Facebook page, and make a post about each episode. That lets them use Facebook's systems for moderation, and builds on their existing social media branding.

I'm sure it can be improved upon, especially if you can get it incorporated directly into some podcast apps.
NSAIDs and Tylenol definitely work differently on different people and on different types of pain ime. The stronger ones, like Torodol, can be very effective on even quite serious pain, but you can't even get it _with_ a prescription anymore in the USA.
Thanks for letting us know. Here I thought people were faking my number for good reasons.
Man I have congestion so often and I always took phenylephrine and always felt it was hit or miss. Now I know it wasn't just me!
In essence they pick up on waves. An analogous question would be, "How can a ship detect waves on the sea if it isn't anchored?" - The ship is moved up and down, and that acceleration is sensed inside the ship.

In an analogous sort of way, electromagnetic waves induce movement in the charged particles (electrons) in the antenna. They are swept up and down the antenna by the waves.
That's correct. Tests 23 & 25 require a specific error type that has since been changed in that circumstance: https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/319#ref-commit-94dd371

Test 35 requires root elements to not match :first-child, and the spec was changed to specify that they should match: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1300374
Multiple clarifications -

Antihistamines do not directly dry up your runny nose/post nasal drip. Rather, they reduce the histamine response, which is helpful when something is caused by allergies. It's usually not that helpful with an actual cold (but allergic rhinitis is often mistaken for a cold).

Sudafed is what the parent was referring to with Pseudophedrine; a decongestant. This works by shrinking blood vessels, causing swollen passageways to open back up. It doesn't actually do anything to reduce the runny nose or post nasal drip, but by opening the passages more can help them drain more efficiently, preventing that feeling of congestion (hence the name).

Guaifenesin (Mucinex being the name brand) is an expectorant; it causes you to generate more mucus, and reduces the viscosity, allowing you to cough/sneeze/etc your mucus/phlegm based congestion out more easily.

Otherwise I totally agree; it is worth understanding what each of these do so you can pick and choose what you need. Nyquil includes DXM (dextromethorphan) to reduce cough severity, but the acetaminophen is not helpful unless you have a fever or headache, and the Doxylamine Succinate and Phenylephrine (both antihistamines; the Doxyl is added to Nyquil because it's also a sleep aid) aren't particularly helpful unless your cold symptoms are actually allergy related.

Better to buy DXM separately usually; fewer side effects, cheaper, and you can pair it with what else will help you (if you need something to help you sleep, you can add Doxyl or Diphenhydramine if you want; YMMV as to how effective they are)

Don't take Guaifenesin before bed (the increased mucus/phlegm production will make it harder to sleep), but it's good during daytime.

A common side effect of Sudafed is trouble sleeping; if you don't have this side effect it can be helpful in reducing congestion while you try and sleep, but if you do have this side effect, obviously, don't take it before bed.

The entire concept of "earth" and "ground" is inherently sort of DC and not RF, because RF is when wavelengths get short enough that you expect voltage and current to vary over the dimensions of your system, even if you have a perfect conductor.
can you? anyone in the village is allowed to dump old junk in there. old shoes, dead cats, kernel command lines, politician emails, old diaries and missing tax returns. and then what happens once it's in there? well, it can't really be trusted or used to actually seed the rng. half the junk in there is static. so it just kinda quietly gets mixed into the entropy hash pools... to what end exactly? it's neither ignored nor actually used in a meaningful way, so the whole problem it's trying to solve is ill-posed. this is a distinct code smell, where the problem was very hard and no good solution was found, so there are still remnants of tried and aborted approaches laying around like pieces of disused viaduct after a major earthquake. for something as critical as this, yes, i'd argue that it is indeed, sketchy.

but that's less interesting than generating entropy by exploiting the digital systems equivalent of quantum effects. which has me wondering now: what if quantum entanglement is just rowhammer for reality...
Prices of housing in urban areas demonstrate otherwise.
Sure, but insider attacks have pre-dated 2022 so if your only defense to them is not to hire people with Russian citizenship I don't think your Org is actually taking it seriously.
Since I listened to Cover Story recently, it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this on the front page. I’m curious to hear from you and others who listened to the podcast about your impressions, because something felt really off to me about it.

I feel this way because of how the presenters initially introduced themselves as very pro-psychedelic, then over the course of the series made what seemed to be increasingly negative and misleading statements to lead listeners to the conclusion that all psychedelics research is garbage (because everyone involved is either an abuser or motivated by greed) and that these drugs are just too dangerous to be legalised or used in therapy (because they are too disinhibiting or because they break people). They started with ‘psychedelics are great and I love them and they really helped me in my life’ and ended with almost an entire episode of ‘I tell anyone who is interested not to do it’.

The serious and legitimate problems that they detailed are very worthy of investigation and remediation, but they also all seemed, to me, to be failures of: (1) individual practitioners who engaged in unethical/illegal behaviour; (2) study runners who didn’t know, or didn’t care, or even believed that these unethical behaviours were actually fine; (3) the drug war, which stopped reputable groups with stronger ethical standards from performing studies and created space for an underground movement led by sociopaths; and (4) the medical research apparatus itself which is too uncritical and accepting of garbage study designs and data.

Some other “problems” they raised just struck me as odd, like the claim that results couldn’t be legitimate because they were combined from multiple trial sites, or that MDMA-assisted therapy is uniquely bad because it is ‘like doing open heart surgery and then walking away’.

Regarding multiple trial sites: I’m not a medical researcher, but I’ve seen this many times when looking up trials on clinicaltrials.gov. So, either (1) it’s not actually a problem, or (2) they didn’t clearly explain why this study’s multi-site design was uniquely bad, or (3) it’s a problem not unique to the MDMA-assisted therapy trial and should’ve been framed as an industry-wide problem instead but wasn’t.

Regarding the ‘open heart surgery’ analogy: Limiting the number of follow-up sessions was clearly a terrible study design and never should have been allowed, and the practitioners who refused to help should almost certainly be—at a minimum—barred from practice, but basically all forms of therapy have similar risks[0], so it seemed misleading at best for them to frame it as some consequence unique to MDMA-assisted therapy. There was even an article here on HN in 2020 about risks associated with meditation and mindfulness[1].

She logs in remotely on my email. To get her up to speed she watched what and how I replied to things for about a week, until I had her start drafting emails as replies that I would approve (or edit) and reply. After a while she just got it. She's based in the Philippines and works from 11p - 3a her local time. I proactively schedule my conflicts and times in my calendar, and then she can schedule anything in the open space.

I could just not answer for a few hours a day, but I have alot of people who expect a quick response. This solves that and gives me back my evenings to spend with the family.
>What can be done do to prepare for inflation?

Lots of strategies. Gold, Crypto/nft, hypercars, paintings/art, stocks, land. You want to own something that measures its value in the thing inflating. Debt locked in at rates below inflation.

>I've got a job with good income. I save a little monthly and invest in whole market index funds. I contribute decently to my pension, also in index funds.

Nothing at all wrong with that plan.

>What should I be doing to be best prepared for the next few years of inflation?

Seems you're already doing it well enough. Front loading investment and not paying debt is a risky strat to try as well.

>Should investments be moved towards real estate as that seems likely to grow with inflation?

Real estate is typically really bad to invest in while rates are increasing; but that's true only when real estate rates are above inflation. There's certainly going to be a short period where this play works well. You dont want to be holding when that changes, worse yet... when will it? You can definitely see when, you'll see tons of articles saying its time to but reits.

Think as well in terms of sacrifice. Starbucks will be sacrificed. Food cant be. Consumer staples is rock solid.

Forex and commodities might be a play. I'm not super knowledgeable on that.

There's also hedged bets. Businesses who are explicitly trying to do what you want. This is a big berkshire hathaway time.

>For pensions, again, is there something I should do there to best hold their value?

I assume you mean pensions where you get to pick 1 of 3 options. Low, medium, high risk. This depends on your age as well dont forget; but HIGH RISK ALL THE WAY. Those terrible funds are often not truly high risk, it just means they hold stocks instead of bonds.
