The default colorscheme is a mixed bag.

On one hand, you have a quite reasonable syntax highlighting and highlight groups that mostly use the so-called ANSI colors of the underlying terminal emulator, which are all good things.

On the other hand, the highlighting of UI elements is clearly a second thought, a light background is assumed by default, the highlight group are inconsistent, and Vim's own heuristics for determining what features are supported by the underlying terminal emulator are beyond broken.

Some of those issues could be easily fixable at a high level if the default colorscheme was actually a colorscheme like blue or desert but it is not so, as we focused our efforts on the latter, we didn't try to fix default.

It is on our radar, though.
In Australia, all Group 8 universities (most are in the World Top 100 rankings) will accept mature age students. It's not your age, it is your research proposal that earns a place. Typically you need a prior research Masters in a related field and bring a substantial amount of industry experience and connections. Universities are encouraged to increase their collaborations with industry.

In order to prepare a successful proposal you need to read 20-100 recent papers in the field and cite at least 10 of them. Going to conferences is good for social networking, but you will only get a briefest summary of the research being conducted. The purpose of a presentation at a conference is to raise sufficient interest for some of the attendees to read the presenter's paper(s).
Because web3 decentralization is not the solution. The web when it started out was pretty decentralized. Consolidation and centralization happened because of economies of scale and it was convenient for the users also as compared to self hosting.

Even in web3 there will be a similar cycle. In fact we are already seeing this.

When dealing with filenames one has to get used to always using '\0' separated output instead of newline separated output, as filenames in Linux can contain everything except '\0' and '/'. Luckily most tools are prepared for this and have options to either output '\0' separators or accept them as input.

Dealing with all the files in the current directory would look something like this (for demonstration, can be made shorter by using '-name' or '-regex' option from 'find'):

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -print0 | grep -z needle | xargs -n 1 -0 echo

Looping over '\0' separated output is possible as well with this:

find . -print0 | while read -r -d $'\0' filename; do echo "$filename"; done

It stops being brittle when used correctly, but can take a bit getting used to and can get a little verbose.
I suppose there is always archive.org and wikipedia, but the more we rely on those to keep old content around the more worried I get about single points of failure. I remember when I first went online in the 90’s the vision of the internet was decentralized content, where information would never go away once it was pushed online. The reality is that the internet is now a decentralized network of central depots, with information rarely jumping between those central depots, and with old layers of content shedding off the edge of those depots and falling into the abyss.

Gatekeeping is essential to the modern web. Content is valuable and/or dangerous and therefore (b)locked away instead of freely copied. Some exceptions exist, of course, but we are very far from that 90’s vision.
> …which makes it all the more baffling why many on HN decry decentralization and web3 as scam artistry

Because "web3" is a scam. Claiming to solve this problem is not the same thing as solving it or solving it well.

The native TV experience is the lesser experience in this case though, and even my non tech peers agree. These devices are so underpowered they scarcely change the volume without input lag. Most everyone I know uses something like an xbox, apple tv, or fire stick, because chances are the vizio netflix app is terrible, and they might not even offer an app for some other streaming service you buy. The only time I've seen someone personally use a smart tv native app was when it was a tv actually made by roku that integrated the roku device.
I've always wanted a chess client which provides dynamic heat maps to help you assess the board. Highlighted squares could represent threats from opponent pieces, colored by how many pieces that are attacking a square, or could attack a square within a move.

Obviously, this isn't really needed, but I think a little AI help which guides you towards better understanding of the board would be nice.

Show HN: Deps.live – On the fly “tech tree” visualization of dependencies
OP Here, Considering how much I've played it, it still doesn't surprise me at all when I'm wrong. Glad you enjoyed it.
We need a series of books which would chart out all of the software, innovations and the people involved during that era. I would definitely buy and read it.

The history of that era is really interesting.
Hi HN!

I made a small tool to help myself reason around dependencies. It parses simple text input and generates a tech tree-like visualization on the fly. The visualization can be interacted with to allow evaluation of relations, and assess potential courses of traversal.

Some backstory: I found my way to a large hospital construction project after a pair of health tech startups that didn't take off. The complexity of the project is huge, and I was missing a tool to help me grasp and assess the operationally dependency-heavy scenarios I was encountering. There are many tools to visualize dependency trees already, sure, but I needed something that was sufficiently accessible to where I could jot things down in meetings, and that could immediately communicate, rather than something requiring more careful modelling of relations.

I'm sharing it to give anyone else who might find this tool useful a chance to discover it. I don't have any plans for further development currently, but I welcome any feedback and thoughts on improvements.

Thanks!

Is this why the super-high quality vinyls were also available only in Japan? I cannot remember the name of the company, but there is (was) some company selling increased dynamic range recordings of popular albums, on very durable (as in, regularly replace the needle) vinyl. I had heard an imported (from Japan) Dark Side of the Moon recording on that once, and it just blew me away.
What I took away from GP was that this medicine helps a person learn and integrate truths that their current neuropathways may be blocking or inhibiting at a subconscious level. It's a neuroplasticity aid of sorts and less of something to be taken as a long term maintenance medication. The change in perspective in a therapeutic setting can be a catalyst to permanent changes in thought patterns.

Because just recording a band and expecting the result to sound like it sounded to the people in the room doesn't work for a heap of reasons.

(I have been making my living as an audio engineer)

One of those is, that live doesn't actually sound good, it is just a good experience — the people, the light, the atmosphere, you went there and payed potentially a ton of money for it, you are a little drunk, it is loud, everybody who is there is in a good mood, it happens live in front of your eyes... In short: It sounds better than it actually sounds for psychological reasons.

While this is not necessarily true for all genres of music equally, audio engineers still have to pull a ton of strings and jump through a bunch of hoops to recreate the energy people felt who were in the room. And sometimes it easier to do so in the studio where the band just plays for the recording and you don't have to compromise between coices that are good for a stage and choices that are good for a recording.

>I mean, DO does provide an out of the box WordPress installation. Just click "create droplet" and you have a WordPress site ready to go.

I have no sysadmin/web experience, but do understand the terminal reasonably well enough from my old job as a SWE.

I currently manage a Wordpress installation on a ridiculously performant [1] $6/mo DigtalOcean droplet without issue.

For me, I struggled a bit with their default Wordpress plugin, but there's this fantastic (also free) droplet called Cyberpanel. It's basically an open-source alternative to CPanel, and offers a graphical frontend for lots of common tasks (domain management, auto-renewing SSL, PHP settings, deployment of WordPress and other sites).

Migrating from my old host was as easy as installing a plugin (All-in-One WP Migration, IIRC) on both the old server and the new DO droplet and then updating the domain records to point to DO.

All in all, maybe a couple of afternoons of screwing around, but absolutely a worthwhile (and economically valuable!) skill to have.

My problem here, and correct me if I'm interpreting this incorrectly, is that web3 calls only for decentralization around current authorities and proposes recentralization around new authorities. The web as it is already has the technology and possibility for "decentralized" content creation and publishing, but as with all things it is easier to do so on "centralized" platforms. I don't see what web3 offers beyond that. We will still rely on DNS, BGP, and all host of other technologies to connect our digital world, and within this framework decentralization is ingrained.
Agree. I’ve actually seen an interesting shift in such arguments. People will talk about decentralization being a good thing — but rather than talk about web3 from the economic lens of decentralization the arguments always flow to crypto scams and environmental factors.
If you'd look into most "web3" projects you'll see they are extremely centralized.
The internet was a magical place back in the day. We were all super excited to contribute to something so transformative. I remember my father excitedly putting up his 3d gifs on his GeoCites page.

Then the corporations came with their legions of desk jockeys, all competing with each other for promotions dependent upon squeezing the internet of every last drop of value.

The internet became less human, just like modern society. Everything about the almighty dollar. Human creativity and freedom be dammed.
> locked away instead of freely copied

Remember the slogan "information wants to be free"? I haven't heard that one in a while. Seems like once the Internet was profitable enough, everyone wanted their slice of the pie after all. Happens to every generation, I suppose.
>This suggests that a low cholesterol level should be interpreted as a biomarker of illness severity.

What if we are just looking at genetic variations? I feel like medical science in general does not appreciate the magnitude of confounding likely caused by unevenly distributed alleles of all sorts, which would explain a lot of the conflicting papers. And this comes from a reluctance to assign people to genetic groups - because they would almost certainly map at least somewhat to what we call races, and that would have other, potentially uncomfortable implications. It's a deeply seated bias that is so totally normalized as to be virtually undetectable by those who suffer from it, but in some ways it holds back extremely beneficial progress in medical acience.

>> build a product that I would like to use myself

> Yup, that's a first mistake, no?

No. The anti-pattern here is

"Build something you think other people would want because you would
like it."

transforming into ->

"Build something you think other people would want because you would
like them to like it."

(there's a subtle change)

In three or four startups I've been associated with, this was going
on. In psychology it's 'projection', and I think many young
entrepreneurs fall into it.

Indeed it's a common problem in digital technologies - the development
of a feature by one group of people, who've become convinced another
group want it, so push it against all evidence and market behaviour.

Innovators can get enchanted by their own idea, and really want to be
"creatively validated" by what they see as an "audience". This has
gotten worse as software startups took on the characteristics of a
"new pop music" business.

Or, (with existing semi-succesful companies) they get mixed up in
unconscious ulterior motives for wanting people to adopt an idea (such
as displacing another product/paradigm they dislike, or effecting some
kind of control over users (DRM etc).
While true, in Portugal it used to be so that a master degree was a requirement for a PhD, unless one was a prodigy child.

I suspect the same happens in many other countries.

So it already puts one above everyone else that has a classical university degree.
I understand the frustration but as a business it makes a lot of sense to cut back on the plans and simplify things. It's happening all across the board and I myself have done so. Doubled the price, canceled the free plan and rolled out a single plan that covers everything. I was expecting push back and reduced customer signup but the opposite happened.
> who's on the hook for making sure it works?

Well, Devuan people made it work, while also maintaining an entire distro fork. This could easily have been made to work on Debian. The alternative would have been to lean on GNOME, I think.

> every single theoretically possible option at install time

systemd-or-not is not "every single theoretically possible option". It is a highly contentious and political issue. If the systemd proponents would have accepted defaulting to no-systemd, then great, no need for the choice; but realistically, both sides are somewhat adamant, so making the user choose is a reasonable compromise IMHO.
Do you have the source code published somewhere? I'd be very curious. My current implementation uses mmap and send(), so id love to get it faster than that.

Nebula has a 23andMe-like service with 100x WGS and provides traits that are actually polygenic and not just SNPs, so have some hope of being causal and not random associations… but it's still practically useless for all kinds of obvious statistical bias reasons.

$15 or $6 per month is not so excessive.

$6 deal is better when you work for free or can find someone to work on it for $9/month.

$15 per month premium includes:

* Premium Support

* Premium themes

* Sell products with WooCommerce

* Collect payments

* Automated website backups

I think setting these up will cost much more in self hosted version.

I'm fan of self hosting, but when I calculate it to my hourly salary then self hosting is very expensive.

The MIT license doesn't waive any aspect of your copyright and/or moral rights. You still claim to have those rights, however diluted they might eventually become. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense to grant some or all of those rights to other people.

CC0 on the other hand goes like "I don't have those rights. Nobody does." It falls back to the rights-granting model only in jurisdictions that don't allow unilateral copyright-waiving.

In practice, of course, the difference usually doesn't matter. In theory, though, there might be an edge case where it matters, perhaps in situations where the original author's moral rights are involved, or if someone discovers a novel use case for computer code that nobody had imagined before.

> As we know, genetics has little influence on your individual biology or behavior, as race is a social construct and each human shares 99.9% of their DNA with each other.

The first part of your sentence doesn't follow from the second despite the second part being true. (well… the "99.9%" part is pop science bullshit.)

Genomes do run in families, that being the whole point of them. And they certainly do have health effects whether they're shared with everyone or unique to you.
Well... yes. I think that for most HN commenters, who work for a non-hourly salary and provide hard-to-quantify value in a seller's market for labor, it's generally possible to get a day off if you need it.

Many tech companies have gone to "unlimited" PTO, so there's no cost to taking a few days off. But even outside that, almost no managers are following the letter of the law. Last time I changed jobs, my employer at the time had explicit PTO time, but unlimited sick leave, and in practice during COVID (and especially near any holiday) was pretty lax with accounting for "I need to be out on Friday afternoon" as long as work was getting done and you were somewhat responsive to email/pings on the day in question. I wasn't hunting very actively, so it was just the one day of interviews with one potential new employer - I concede that if you needed to do many full-day interviews, it would eventually become conspicuous.
I reckon accounting for generic variation in observational studies is more common then you are letting on, see mendelian randomisation. Also, in this type of research, race isn't the 'elephant in the room' that it seems you are implying, I mean it is already one of the most common stratifications used and disparities across racial lines in health outcomes are well recognised.

The real barrier to a genetic understanding is with few exceptions, the affect of genes is really complicated.
