Ask HN: What probiotic supplements do you use?
Heading to the Zimbabwe bush soon for an extended period of time. My travel nurse recommended bringing a supply of probiotic supplements with me. Any recommendations? I keep a steady diet of fermented vegetables at home, but that's not practical where I'm going. Thanks in advance!
There’s a huge difference between having a distorted world view because of ignorance or knowledge or whatever and being clinically diagnosed with a mental illness. For example, someone that seems very self involved, a trait of immaturity and youth, isn’t the same as someone with narcissistic personality disorder as defined here: https://www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/philo/courses/materials/Narc.P...
This is correct.

Official, meaningful tooling for yaml also doesn't exist. Parsing and emitting yaml does nothing for anyone until you can actually extract structures from the format.

The full yaml standard is also full of features no one ever actually uses in practice, but if you don't implement it, you are thusly not compliant with the specification.

If you read it, you'd go, "Wow, you can do that?" and "That's bad that you can do that."
Yup, but not everywhere
small businesses generally can't launch everywhere. a big drug manufacturer can switch to selling at cost in a region for a few months to kill the profit opportunity of a young competitor. also, once they've done that a few times, it prevents others from trying

Get yourself some DAC like a Topping D10s. This specific model can also convert USB to SPDIF coax or toslink to connect in your receiver, instead of RCA analog.
ccTLDs tend to be subject to much more baroque terms. For example, restrictions on citizenship, residency, or "genuine connection", restrictions on content and speech and other legal requirements.

For example when UK left the EU then all UK registrants of .eu domains were made to relinquish them. No grandfathering. This kind of nonsense doesn't occur on .com

> Further to this Asian / Indian Americans that make it past these filters do quite well socio economically because they are highly selected relative to other groups

Some asian American groups are, and some aren’t. Japanese Americans mostly came here at a low socioeconomic status back when Japan was quite poor. Korean immigration was heavy in the 1970s and 1980s, and had a lot more to do with the Korean war and family reunification than high skill immigration.

Remember the modern H1B didn’t exist until 1990.
The smartphone has actually improved my life a lot. I still have the habit of reading 2-3 books a month but as far as my personal experiences with a smartphone. I could be biased cuz I don't use any social media(facebook/insta/snapchat/tiktok) and I have removed all algorithmic feeds from the information I consume. Smartphone is just a big sheet of glass. What you do with it is your choice and it is a very big choice.
The latest additions (LAMBDA, XLOOKUP, dynamic arrays, etc.) are kind of a game changer.

Also tables and conditional formatting, which I believe were introduced after 1997.

It seems word of mouth has been increasing (I've been using Linux since 2014 and only heard about it in late 2020). Maybe

- it has to do with DLTs like Cardano adopting Nix.

- influencers like youtubers and podcasters have began talking about it

- migration from IRC to Matrix, so people can discover it more easily

- people who are into functional programming cycles often talk about it, e.g. haskell, lisp, emacs...

- with the raise of Flatpaks and Snaps, people have been talking more often about Nix as an alternative. The same can be said about Docker/containers and is often suggested as alternative

- mainstream Linux distros taking inspiration from NixOS to make their own immutable and atomic OSs: Fedora Silverblue, openSUSE MicroOS, Clear Linux, ...

- since mid 2010s there was some push towards making documentation better for beginners. The official website also got a modern look to be more attractive. So also taking into account nixpkgs is probably good enough for the average user and has a good enough ecosystem around it as well, this all means NixOS has become mature enough for willing/passionate adopters (e.g. Arch users who want the next shiny tech), and who will talk about it in every given opportunity.

Well, those functions are called uncomputable because, as far as we know, there is no repeatable way of computing them, right?

So if the human brain was able to compute functions that Turing machines can't, it doesn't mean those functions are uncomputable, it just means the Church-Turing hypothesis is false.

> Aiwa Cassette deck won't play any cassette

If you're interested in fixing this: it sounds like power comes on. So maybe the drive belt has disintegrated? Recently replaced a belt on a thing from the late 1970s. The belt was no longer elastic, which means it had snapped, and you could "cut" it some more by merely touching it. On Amazon you should be able to find packs of cassette rubber belts, and one or more of them will probably fit.

If/After the movement seems all right, try cleaning the heads with IPA (try pressing play without anything inserted and then clean the bits of metal that come out, as well as the capstan and pinch roller). There may be other things wrong with it (motor speed, head azimuth (angle)).
> we are starting to trend on newcomers! While the majority have used Nix or NixOS in the 1 to 3 year range (37%), 30% of respondents have joined the Nix community in the last year. Our expectation is that as we continue to improve Nix and NixOS we should be seeing a positive trend that leans towards more Nix users <1 year.

Sonos stuff is also outrageously expensive for mediocre audio quality. I have a really nice home theater from hand-me-downs, friend's basements, and yard sale finds, and sure I had to re-foam some woofers, but it sounds quite a bit better than anything Sonos offers.

But yes, I've always been an A/V nerd. Just like with Bose, it bothers me when there are companies that manage to market their way into getting people to buy a middling product for luxury money.
Name collisions.

There are various fake crypto/blockchain-related fake TLDs you can add to your browser through browser extensions, but the risk of future name collisions is very real. And a domain name that doesn't even work in other browsers isn't useful at all. Having something as basic as "Share URL" not work results in a fundamentally broken (and bad) user experience.

The recurrence is the one reason I don't use Taskwarrior. I use topydo instead because recurrence works better with it. The project may be dead but as long as I can get a few years out of it I'll switch task lists when it finally totally breaks.

If we could formalize "observe the result" we would, and it would require exchanging energy with the computer, breaking its conservation. The only way to avoid it is to say that we were always a part of the computation, but things seem to get very odd from there.

You mention elsewhere that the whole universe might be construed as a computation in which energy is conserved. Why not take the absurd reduction for what it is though, and conclude that it means there's something wrong with calling anything-at-all a computer?

I agree with all of this. Re#2 it’s even worse than pretty generic. It looks like a generic/unbranded OJ, and for some reason it looks like a low quality OJ to boot.

There were rumors about iPhone 14 Pro being USB-C and regular iPhone being portless.

Yes, network cables.

Way back when I was a staff engineer at Motorola, we'd often have network problems from workstations caused by marginal cables. At first, the IT people would come over and replace the cable, and toss the bad/old one in the person's cubicle trash can.

But I noticed over time, they all started adding one extra step: they'd cut the cable in half before tossing it in the trash.

Before the cable cutting, engineers, being engineers, would fish the "bad" cable out of the trash as soon as the IT person left ("it works almost all the time...") and use it for the next lab build-out. And then integration tests would fail intermittently, etc.
I’ve noticed this lately. Found a streaming site and it just has so much more content and the site is so well organized and I’ve found lots of good shows on the front page. Netflix is lacking good suggestions and Amazon video really sucks and is more trying to push paid for videos which I want nothing to do with.
There is no Tropicana in my country, but the design and branding looks like what I'd expect from a supermarket's own brand.
This seems very similar to computer security and privacy concerns. Everyone says "someone should do something about this!" yet very few people, businesses, or governments do anything. After decades of lax security the US gets involved in a war with Russia and now tells business that they better be prepared for being hacked. Right, close all those unknown zero day holes right away! Be prepared to dump your 3rd party software when your vendors get hacked! The author says she suspects there are business and government groups already working on implementations and that this is a worldwide issue, not to be solved by any one country. The chances of getting world agreement on anything seem close to zero. I think she's right and it's going to be a free-for-all scenario. Historically people in China during One-Child sometimes aborted females because everyone wanted their one child to be male. Being able to choose genetic features seems likely to be extremely popular (and will make things like skin color a choice.)

On the other hand, do we even really know how genes work? I thought I read that what we thought were transcription boundaries are not actually boundaries at all, so that greatly increases the number of possible interactions with the genome. And the "junk" dna actually does something. Also, a great many traits and diseases seem to be associated with many more than one gene, which implies interactions between genes which also makes figuring out what happens when you alter specific genes much more complex. The case where one gene is tied to one trait seems to be the exception rather than the rule. And then there is the question of the influence of mitochondrial DNA from the mother, and the recent research showing that certain chemicals can determine which organ stem cells will turn into (which genes control those chemicals? What happens if they get altered?) I'm not convinced scientists really know what they are doing here, which likely means some rather bad experimental outcomes. We can't predict what small evolutionary changes in the coronavirus do, and we're going to precisely control the process that makes a human? I don't think so.
More specifically, bind creates a new function + context, that you can hold a reference to and reuse, but you cannot do this with call or apply.

It hasn't become 'far left', the term is authoritarian. The state knows what's best for everyone.

Both left and right can come in authoritarian and libertarian variants. Texas is definitely auth-right despite pretending to like small government.
Yeah, because they're probably using libraries that are heavily using those keywords under the hood, in order to supply functions with the correct 'this' context.
>Name collisions.

This would not be a concern because Chrome has a massive install base. Similar to .onion, no one would register or potentially be able to register the one Google would adopt.

There's pretty decent analysis of levelized costs including storage by Lazard[1].

This type of analysis is pretty difficult though. A modern grid with both solar and wind power is pretty resilient and calculating the amount of storage needed depends on the things like if it has long distance transmission lines (increasing reliance by increasing the geography).

I think this is why a lot of places end up having a gas peaker plant. In terms of running costs it's not great, and the climate impact is bad (although I guess hydrogen helps is that is available anywhere yet). But it's cheap to build ($85M gets you 55MW[2]). These days batteries are cost competitive with that though[3]:

> a 250MW, four-hour (1,000MWh) battery system in New South Wales would be a cheaper option for meeting peak demand than a 250MW new-build OCGT from both levelised cost of energy (LCOE) and levelised cost of capacity (LCOC) perspectives.[3]

We've had this in Australia for a while now under the name "NPP" (New Payment Platform) more commonly referred to by folks as "PayID" or "Osko", and I have to say since it's been introduced I've never used PayPal to buy or receive payment for stuff in Australia.

PayPal is an inferior experience in just about every way; it's not instantly in my bank account (it takes days), there's huge fees, and its an unnecessary third party that adds no real value.
I know some people who are absolutely harmless in person but absolute a*holes online. You often have to picture them to understand the animosity online. And this is not just in 1-1 situation, it can be in large community posts.

If you met them in person, you realise they're physically completely harmless, you could even classify them as 'weak'. This visual / physical context is everything that is lost in online communications. One perceives someone as a threat using a vector of things: online, we lose most of that frame of reference.

One overlooked element is that, online, people lack of empathy and understanding for their audience. Part of communicating effectively is your ability to see yourself through the shoes of your audience. Online, this is lost since you can't picture your audience, so you have to act like it's the lowest denominator; and explain yourself really clearly and politely in order to pass a clear message (being well understood).

Most people, especially younger people I find, completely lack the social skills of writing online to strangers. Not only they're unable to picture their audience or put themselves in the eyes of the reader, but they seem to not give a flying rat about it in the first place, leading to two very different persona: in-person, shy, quiet, reserved, and online, loud, insensitive, inconsiderate belligerent idiot.

It quietly became a thing you could open a spreadsheet from a network share, and so could someone else, and both live-edit it in realtime with markers for where each other is. Not just two people, either. Then gained that with SharePoint cloud backing which means the people don't need to be on the same LAN. And gained a web version which can be scripted in JavaScript instead of Visual Basic for Applications, and so desktop and web users can open, view, edit the same spreadsheet at the same time. With the Microsoft365 backing, someone can @ you in an Excel cell and M365 will email you about it to alert you. Spreadsheets are accessible from the MS Graph API and with a REST interface[1] which means they can be generated and updated from code while on M365, it means Excel can be used as a backend calculation engine in a supported way now (instead of running it headless on a server in an unsupported way), and spreadsheets integrate with PowerAutomate[2].

As I've said several times on HN, Microsoft has quietly made Office Cloud a company wide multiplayer gameworld thing, and hardly anyone seems to have noticed this new category appearing. It's not "store your files in the cloud" or "spreadsheets in a browser", it's something much more deeply integrated. If you thought it was hard to get away from Microsoft Office before because someone might send you a spreadsheet with weird formatting, this is the kind of moat/lockin which will carry Microsoft another decade and over Chromebooks and Android and macOS and Linux desktops.

Depends on game mechanics. Reputation matters for repeat plays. Someone might display their power to prevent being taken advantage of by other players (current/future). YCombinator might let themselves be taken advantage of because founders fear investors, and stories about historic matters matters.

> If the engineers had equity, we would've been high-fiving the sales team for pushing those gargantuan deals past the finish line.

That's a great example of why simple profit sharing or equity compensation is not enough: it corrupts even engineers to economic myopia!

What about the existing customers that need their stability problems fixed? No time for that! Gotta hajj together new features for the next big contract! You should never cheer sales making up vapourware. Any scheme that does has misaligned incentives.

This has been shown before though I don't have a source at hand: focusing on stock market value leads to short-termism which leads to lower stock market value in the long run.
