Ask HN: Fast machine, unlimited traffic, what's the catch with this server?
I'm looking at these servers, 20 cents per hour, 1Gigabit network, unlimited traffic, fast machine, lots of local storage.

https://www.ionos.com/servers/storage-server#packages

So I wonder, what is the catch?

Why could I not use this as a really nice video server for example? Sounds too good to be true compared to major cloud hosts.
80? I'm at 600 already, fuck me.
Here in Brazil HR has a similar setup of group tests that they call "Group Dynamics". They would give a task and let the group figure by itself how to solve it.

After some experience with it I figured out that it wasn't the task or who had more "mic time", but who would show leadership skills that mattered.

As usually everyone wanted to talk, what I did was just to orchestrate who said what, making no point on the matter, just controlling the turns and asking "what do you think about Anne's point Dave?". Worked like a charm.
I also got "banned" from twitter. (They actually just told me I couldn't use it again until I sent them some form of government ID - no thanks.) Never even posted a comment, only used it to read and like tweets periodically. Had it for maybe two years before they pulled this shit on me.
This has broadly been my experience of secular meditation also, I haven’t explored any other schools.

What did help me though was a book called “Constructive Living” by David K Reynolds. It talks a lot about what you mention. The importance of “doing what needs to be done”.

I got quite into meditating, but I found it just made me go far too inside my own head. It’s easy to feel compassion inside your own house.
Does he define what a social technology is?

The Popping of Bubble Stocks: An Update
The explanation here is much more clearer. but it doesn't seem humanly possible to play this game without a computer? what am I missing
Any time, it's all a bit arcane really I'm not sure how anyone is supposed to figure it out without having been told themselves.

Love your username by the way!
Sell locally on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. You'll avoid scams from fake buyers that way also, if you limit yourself to in-person cash sales.
since this is a fair assumption (that they will humanly miss a combination when true) the next inference is they have access to a perfect calculator
Activity of dying brain shines light on near-death experiences
A meditator is a someone. That someone is a product of duality.

The wounds are part of the body and personality. They are not you.

To come out of the duality we can leave the meditation open. It doesnt have to take any particular form and it should have no goal in mind. Objectless. It is this sense of beingness or presence that is a true meditation. It is the sense of existence which is the background of every other thing itself not perceivable to the senses. It remains constant throughout while everything else fades.
we just need an online trading system where money can only go in never go out
and the quality of the offering will increase over time, and everyone will slowly be able to purchase better stuff OVER TIME

when you buy: you pay real money into the system, zero commission on anything/everything

when you sell: you get money stored in there for your next purchase
Sorry, but is "creative" a noun now? In some of the article it sounds like advertising, but at the end it sounds like a product.
How is working with Tauri? What Tauri features do you use?
Forefront? HA! My experience is diametrically opposite: prolong Buddhism practice often leads to ego-centric behaviors that are swept under the rug and not talked about.

I was warned about it when I started getting "serious" about my practice, but I didn't believe it until I confronted it, face-to-face, on a daily basis. To this day I am the renegate and persona non grata at my Temple, ex except for the Abbot and my Zen Master who know how to tolerate, navigate, and leverage that BS for the greater good.

Samurai training is Buddhism training on steroids.

Regardless, my practice continue with a lot less time at the Temple, and I have relinquished my Center (the Center that I founded).
const foo = [...bar]; is about 20x slower than const foo = bar.slice();

Yes, 20x. It only gets worse the more you do it -- it's both slower and wastes more memory, because it relies on the Iterator protocol, which actually compiles to something like this:

const foo = [];
const iter = bar[Symbol.iterator]();
while (true) {
const it = iter.next();
foo.push(it.value);
if (it.done)
break;
}

Minus some extra error handling with try/catch. Note, that all those calls to .next() every loop have to be dispatched; they can be optimized away, but V8 and JSC are very picky about when they can inline something like this. Also note that every call to .next() returns a brand new object, which means a lot of GC pressure. If you're copying an array of 20,000 items, you just created 20,000 tiny objects of garbage which all need to be GC'd.

Last I asked around, everyone said escape analysis would solve this. But in the 7 years I've been writing JS, I've never seen a single engine correctly elide this object creation. Every so often I boot up d8 with its assembly dumper and confirm, that yes, it is still creating a heap object, even in simple cases, yes, even with all optimizations enabled.

I try and ban all uses of the iterator protocol (for...of, spread, some kinds of destructuring assignment) in all the high-performance code I write. It's helpful, but it's a huge battery drain. And it's because they just spec'd the feature wrong.
Yeah, man, at least pretend to be civilized and don't confess straight away you yearn for being able to shoot people. I'd say that's pretty good advice for reasonable people, and even for the far-left and the far-right.
It's not very difficult. Just buy a video scalar and slice the screen into quarters. I have a pile of these devices at work. The delay is one frame (or one field in interlaced modes). They are really straightforward devices generally built out of an FPGA or CPLD and some RAM/RAMDACs and old analog ones are cheap.
They both have to know what the other person knows (e.g the product or sum), and that the other person is a perfect logician.
I helped my father with an issue where a seller (not on eBay) sent a PayPal tracking number for the same town as proof of shipment.

Oddly enough, they sent a tracking number for a package that I had seen that morning at my day job... I explained that to PayPal and we got our money back.
The split method: Start immediately, split your work up into parts and finish gradually. If you have a 10 page paper due in a month, start immediately and just write the title in a word document. Then tomorrow, write up a skeleton outline. Then the next day, fill in half of the first section in that outline. Then the day after that, fill in the other half. Then do half of anther section. Etc.

The point of this is: Procrastination psychologically conditions you to hate work, because you do it all at the last second drenched in stress and fear. So massive workload and stressful environment. Sure, there is some reward from making progress towards your goals, but this is heavily outweighed by the negative parts of the experience. Which causes you to avoid work more, which increases the problem and gives your brain another experience causing it to reinforce hatred of starting work. It's a vicious cycle / positive feedback loop, procrastination causing procrastination.

The point of the split method is to train your brain over time to like work. Progressing towards your goals is rewarding! Your brain is built to like achieving goals. With the split method, each work session is much easier. There is no stress of "AAH I HAVE TO GET 100% OF THIS DONE RIGHT NOW". Over time after repeated work sessions 1) are not nearly as stressful, and 2) that leave you feeling good, your brain will start to like work more and more. Additionally, getting into the habit of not thinking and starting IMMEDIATELY on your assignment will help break the habit of procrastination. For me the hardest part was always getting myself to start, so being in the habit of automatically starting has been super helpful. I'll admit though I still don't have some perfect work ethic and I haven't 100% gotten rid of procrastination.

I started this a couple years ago and my work ethic is significantly better. Went from being a 2.7 GPA student to a 3.7 GPA student (moving average GPA each quarter, not cumulative).
Absolutely true.

But in mine and perhaps others' case, not a bad thing at all. See, I've had years of religious indoctrination and because of my way of thinking, I internalised that so deeply, that I lived every moment in a deep well of shame.

So a little "selfishness"; actually trying to be kind in giving myself the things I've wanted = good.
“Why can’t we all just agree to do this specific one thing first?” Because not everyone agrees that’s the best first step.

To build a coalition, you have to get the coalition to agree on a goal and a path or at least the right first step(s). Maybe some of them believe that nationalizing public education is a shorter path; others believe that early childhood nutrition is their preferred way to make fastest progress; still others believe that race must be explicitly excluded because it’s an imperfect proxy; others want race to be front and center in the discussion because they think it’s more than just a proxy. If you think X is more important than Y, you may not want to sign up for “Y first; then after we do Y then maybe we’ll consider X.”

This goes triple when X and Y both require some common resource. If it was possible to fix all of the apparent inequalities at once, it’s fair to ask why hasn’t it already been done? I think the answer is usually that you don’t have enough “oomph” to do everything at once, especially when there’s a risk and low appetite for over-correcting to create new inequalities from the program designed to eliminate them.

Coalition building is hard, even among people who 70+% agree on how things ought to be.
Takes months to rise your vitamin D levels.
Thx, did you find the second máp? :D
The mistake is thinking that there's some objective and correct way to measure eligibility for these finite spots. The reality is much more complicated; there are way more people who would be successful at an Ivy League school than there are slots available for those people. Whoever you pick, every one of them will kick ass, so it's not really about making sure everyone is qualified, it's about making sure the people who are qualified for your school and not qualified for other opportunities (because racism, caste) get their shot.
The whole point is finding the qualified people for whom this is as close to their only shot as possible, and giving them that shot. Poor minorities are more often those people than wealthy white kids, because the white kids will land on their feet.

The poor minority kid might be the first in his family to go to college, might have only had enough money to apply to one or two schools, and if college doesn't work out for them, they're basically screwed.
I don't believe Npm isn't installed on any OS by default?
Yes, it is, used to refer to advertising content.

I suppose it helps disambiguate that from the content around which ads appear. Beyond that, I suppose language is no less subject to fads and trends than any other realm of human endeavor.
Is this not just magic thinking? People used to (and, in many parts of the world, still do) believe in blessings/curses, magic rites etc. People believing in manifestation of thoughts in the body or the external world seems to me like magic just found a way back into our daily lives.
The first COVID wave eliminated my “fear of missing out” but now it’s back again.

I think some people will miss the finer parts of isolation.
I get around a dozen shaves or more from a single feather blade. Bought a box of a 100 for $35 after trying a variety pack of blades and fixing on the Feather brand, and at around 3 shaves a week and just trimming up around my goatee and neck, I think I am somewhere around 1-2 cents per shave and probably golden until the robot overlords take over.

Much better than $15/mo I was spending for cartridge razors. I’ll never go back.
It sounds like there are a ton of confounding variables possible, not to mention your own personal biases in interpreting any potential causality.

Absolutely 100% this. For years I was following the scientific method, reading countless papers on PubMed, binge watching videos from micro biologists and eventually reached the conclusion that if I continued down that path my progress would be paralyzed by the scientific method itself. To use those methods properly in a controlled manor would take thousands of years that I simply don't have.

In summary, I have long since dropped the scientific method on the cutting room floor and instead use the "shoot in the dark" or "shotgun" methodologies. I don't have to tell you this comes with many risks, but I have weighed the risks and benefits and concluded that this was the right path for me. Anecdotally I am very pleased with my progress. I have reversed many chronic health issues. I look and feel decades younger than I did a decade ago. That is of course my own biased opinion of which I hold in high confidence. I would never expect anyone else to do what I am doing nor would I try to convince anyone that I am doing the right thing.

As for the original topic of vitamin D3 which isn't a vitamin at all, I stand by my words that the RDA is far too low for most people today given the lack of sunlight exposure, the poor diets, the high levels of stress and inflammation from bad diets and so many more factors. I should add the disclaimer that I am a doctor though most doctors are not really trained in this and what little training they receive in medical school is crammed into their heads and lost as fast as they gained it.
Would wearing glasses, specially blue light blocking glasses make sun's effect on your circadian rhythm less pronounced?
I use it to manage my dev environment with a bunch of sessions.

One for my blog, podcast, 2 side projects, contract work, etc.. I usually have 6-10 sessions. Although I don't use fzf to search through them. The built in leader+s key makes finding and jumping between sessions painless, you also get the benefit of being able to see a preview of what's in the session.
I think most HN users are not familiar with the pre-silicon verif environment, and so, don’t understand what a testbench is. I am fairly familiar with it, and I think I debugged testbench issues at some point, and I don’t really know what it is either.

But I’ll give it a shot, more informed users please correct me.

The testbench is a wrapper that turns command line options into binary file arrangements consumed by the simulator. For example, you could have a flag like -FORCE_ALL_CLOCKS_ON. The simulator software doesn’t think on this level, you actually need some piece of verilog, maybe compiled into some sort of patch, that makes some enable bits do nothing.

The testbench is a wrapper that determines if a test has passed or failed. There may be complex criteria to determine this, mostly by parsing logs, but it could hook in to the simulator in a more sophisticated way too.

The testbench is a wrapper that can fuse multiple simulators, so if your core is in FPGA but you have an Ethernet model in high level software (probably SystemVerilog?) you need a shim to get them talking.

The testbench is what you execute at the command line when you want to execute your tests.

The testbench is probably more than that. Or maybe less.
Yes I had the same, after about 2 minutes things became weird and cut off.

Seems like a transcoding error for certain devices only then, if nobody else noticed it.

Unrelated, but it was completely impossible for me to put the video on full screen. It seems like the site did something with the scroll that prevented me from scrolling horizontally to click the full screen button.
Well at least tie it to the account name.
> I’ve listened to tens of hours if not hundreds and haven’t ever heard him talk about a single act of kindness or help he or his guests have ever done to strangers.

In that case, you might want to listen to the episode with Will MacAskill (of effective altruism fame):

https://tim.blog/2015/11/22/will-macaskill/

Many other guests who seem to be genuinely kind people come to mind as well (e.g., Derek Sivers, Seth Godin, Debbie Millman) but it probably doesn't get any more obvious than with Will MacAskill that this show isn't about selfish or narcissistic endeavours.
Hello fellow Murt :)
I also only use strictly throwaway emails. If a website finds it fishy, they will tell you while you are attempting to create an account (in which case I just dont use a random string and use random words instead). Back when I was in the coversion process, several accounts were frozen when i switched from a real to throwaway email. Each time I just emailed customer service with the custom email, they realized I'm not a bot and as long as I could pass dual verification (which I can because I'm me), they unfroze my account and occasionally apologize.
hmmm I feel the opposite. The absurd amounts of money a person can lose by just landing on two build houses of their opponent means that even someone who is winning can suddenly start to lose within a few turns.
That is the point of this game : "It was intended as an educational tool to illustrate the negative aspects of concentrating land in private monopolies."

Buddhist vipassana meditation is based on deconstructing the ego altogether as well as all desires, and recognizing the illusion behind them. So if people are being egocentric, they probably have not progressed very far in their spiritual path.
When I still used Windows, my favorite app launcher was voidtools Everything
Ha! Some of my current favourite artists are barely older than my kids!

What's amazing is that you can hear their influences as being the music I was listening to when I was a teen through to my early 20s.

Example: Nothing but Thieves are my #1 favourite in terms of recent rockers; you can hear the Queen, Jeff Buckley, Muse, Pink Floyd influences in there. I might be hallucinating some of it, but I swear half my teen favourites are in there somewhere.

Another point; some of my favourite bands that were making great music many years ago are still putting out new albums, but they're just missing the edge now, sounding a bit formulaic.
I took 15k IU daily (at the advice of my doctor) for several months at one point to get my levels back up. I don't remember the numbers, but my levels were extremely low.
Show HN: Hacker News Reader using ts-liveview
This is a demo application implemented with ts-liveview [1]. It calls the HN APIs from a node.js server, then responses contentful HTML without further ajax calls.

ts-liveview adopts progressive enhancement. It works as MPA without javascript; when javascript and websocket are enabled, it upgrades to "SSR-SPA" mode. In the SPA mode, client-events are sent to the server via websocket. The server then derive DOM update instructions and send to the client(s) over ws.

In addition, since the DOM is controlled from the server, it is relative trivial to update multiple clients.

This approach enable interactive webapp with minimal javascript bundles to be downloaded, parsed, and executed on the client device. Since the core logic runs on the server, we can use 3rd libraries or organize the webapp as a single root top-down structure without bloating the client.

The demo is hosted on a rather slow VPS so it may not loads quickly. Welcome any feedback :)

You aren't qualified to make this statement, doctor or no, especially considering it's in direct contradiction to consensus medical advice.
> The point was, these people COULD do more than move boxes from A to B, could have been more productive, and could contribute more to the economy, if they were provided training.

Yes, they could, but what does that have to do with Walmart or Amazon?

And, at least for now, boxes need moving.

You persist in your belief that offering someone an "opportunity" that you don't like is exploiting them. It isn't, no matter how bad that opportunity is.

As to people with no good alternatives, that's on you as much as it is Walmart and Amazon.
Exactly, the first thing that comes to mind.

Alas, watching Gilliam's other films gets more and more difficult, even though he tries to make the same movie again and again, for almost forty years now. But ‘Brazil’ was a home run on the first attempt.
scapy is awesome for writing tests of low-level network code. You can sandbox a VM or process and inject packets.
You said the predictions that food was unsustainable just got delayed by doing other things that are unsustainable. So it sounds like you’re convinced we’re still all going to starve. I was just curious when this is going to happen.
Pistols / power weapons + License to Kill. Nothing was more satisfying than catching someone with the shotgun.
I solved Tetris a very similar way in high school. My approach was to treat it as a zero-sum, two player game. One player assigns pieces, and the other player places pieces. Treating it this way allows using Minimax algorithm with any depth (similar to chess or other two player games!). The board evaluation function can penalize "caves" (empty orphaned spaces that have been covered by pieces above them). With a board evaluation function like this, alpha/beta pruning can be used. This gives great results!
Is plausible.io self hostable?
Have you seen the scale of leaks over the past decade?

The point is that nobody would know that a stolen/copied id was being used and everyone gets to pat themselves on the back that the financial system is safe from illicit actors when they would have no way of knowing.
How did you narrow down the issue to sunlight exposure? Seems plausible that, being new to NYC as you say, there could have been an adjustment period that you eventually moved past?

Not trying to dismiss your experience. I just haven’t experienced making one small change in my life and seeing significant benefits.
>> The medical community is full of contradictions.

We added iodine to salt to prevent deficiency, then decades later told everyone to avoid salt. I've found iodine to be a huge piece of the puzzle - certainly not a panacea but one of several go to solutions.
So it's interesting. Looking at the meta-analyses more closely than I have in the past raises more questions about ACT than I thought based on the way it's discussed in the literature. However, in general, the pattern is that it shows efficacy relative to controls but not greater than other treatments (although this is a common pattern in the psychotherapy literature that applies to almost every type of treatment):
