My mother had Lupus. It's kind of another "American medicine failure" story. She'd go to the doctor's office and get berated for being a painkiller junkie even though she never once asked for painkillers. Doctors would just look at her record and assume. When she finally did get a doctor that tried to help, she got put on this weird steroid that made her body a little stronger but at the cost of some brain fog.

She was on that drug for 10-odd years before going to a different hospital on a whim. The new doctor concluded that actually the Lupus wasn't even active. It was in remission and had been for years. Turns out, the previous doctor was skipping some routine tests because the results were always the same.

Mom got off the drug and her mind got better but her body didn't. Off the drug, she was basically in the same physical state as she was on the drug. Couldn't walk or even sit down for more than a couple hours without pain. So what's going on? She started getting her bones checked to see if there was some kind of alignment problem. There was some old film of her as a toddler that showed her walking funny, and she also once had a bad accident doing sports, which seemed like potential evidence for something skeletal.

Before she could figure anything else out, she found a lump and got diagnosed with cancer. It originally looked like regular breast cancer but the breast cancer chemo didn't work. Turns out it's this super-rare "meta-plastic" cancer that nobody at the hospital had ever seen before. She just went through palliative care and hospice then died only a year after finding the tumor.

Turns out there were some studies saying the drug she was on for longer than necessary is correlated with rare cancers. Unfortunately I don't have the name of the drug or the details of the cancer on hand right now. Anyway, it's cool to see some research that might eventually help Lupus patients avoid getting yelled at for popping pills (even when not actually popping pills).
Photoshop (and others, I'm sure) allow you to convert an image to black and white, but control how the colors going in contribute to the output. I wonder if trained black and white photographers would be able to recognize when this was taken advantage of in non-obvious ways.
Wheel-steering or axle-steering perhaps? Some actual locomotives have linkages to consistently steer individual axles to match the overal curvature of the track.

The part that stands out to me, as someone who writes software for a living:

> Tech companies: Do you want to help put your users behind bars by handing over the data you hold about them in response to legal demands by law enforcement? Do you not really care if they go to prison, but do care about the bad PR you’ll get if the public finds out about it? Then start planning now for what you’re going to do when – not if – those demands start coming in. Data minimization and end-to-end-encryption are more important than ever. And start worrying about internal access controls and insider threats, too: don’t assume that none of your employees would ever dream of quietly digging through users’ data looking for people they could dox to the police in anti-abortion jurisdictions. Protecting your users is already so hard, and it’s going to get a lot harder. Update your threat models.
> But any time businesses say: "We support cryptocurrencies like XRP", plain people hear first 3 words, and become more likely to invest into cryptocurrencies, which are statistically most likely to be Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Maybe that is why Stripe (a business that needs no introduction) made an investment in Stellar, ditched 'Bitcoin' for payments and opted to use greener alternatives? Even with them using something like Polygon that still did not stop them either.

Not all of these cryptocurrencies are the same as Bitcoin, and Ethereum and at least the latter is open to moving to greener alternatives to mining.

> So if you care about environment, or lack of ransomware, or anything else the OP talks about, the responsible thing is to reject all cryptocurrencies. The small amount of innovation and financial tools provided by XRP, Stellar etc.. is not worth the huge negative effects from bitcoin and ethereum and all the other PoW, [pseudo-]anonymous cryptocurrencies.

Perhaps one should also reject and stop driving any vehicle on the road because there are too many diesel and petrol cars emitting CO2 and not that many electric vehicles on the roads today, such that: 'The small amount of innovation in these electric cars is not worth the huge negative downsides from lorries, buses, trucks and all the other petrol and diesel vehicles.'

It does not make any sense to generalise against others and outright reject all of them just because the most used one somehow also happens to be the most inefficient. It's the same reason why many companies rejected Bitcoin over alternatives for on-chain payments, especially for Stripe's use-case as well.

It is also why sweeping generalisations really does not work.

> “There's no battery degradation. You always get a healthy battery.

Simple economics says that’s probably not (going to be) true.

But at a broader level, I don’t think the tradeoffs are going to be worth it to most people:

1. For most people, most driving is well inside the (range/2)-radius circle, where home charging is sufficient

2. High speed charging is already very competitive with gas cars, and only getting better. Yes, ICE cars can make a trip faster, but in real life you’ve gotta eat and pee sometime and supercharging 10-80% is pretty quick.

3. There are necessary tradeoffs to making a large component of a car replaceable, doubly so autonomously replaceable. Now your connectors have to be hot-swappable, with all the safety hardware that goes with that. Fasteners have to be rated for hundreds of cycles rather than dozens. Battery and car frames must be structurally sound without eachother. All of these increase weight, decrease energy density, and decrease that circle of everyday-driving range.

It may make sense if you’re doing long trips regularly. Even so, I think I’d rather plug a car in and walk away for a few minutes than have a robot tinkering with structural parts every few hundred miles.

Aluminum is renewable. So is glass, of course. And no, Apple is actually doing all they can to keep old iPhones from being tossed in landfills, including designing custom robots to disassemble them so that the components can then at least theoretically be recycled.

You don't need to mine more aluminum if you're able to use recycled aluminum in your products. And Apple does.

So Apple is perhaps not the best choice of a company to pick on in this particular part of the argument.

Does Vue offer relief from React's continuous accretion of hooks? The big point of confusion for me with React, as the number of hooks just keeps on increasing, is how do I hold in my head all the ways these hooks can interact with each other? And don't get me started on that array as the second arg to useEffect. Maybe Redux is just generally a better approach to developing with React at this point in time.

Top two should be available through an ETL of whatever VCS is used. Next two depend on how fine-grained you want to be--either you don't automate because you stay high-level on the order of products, or you go lower-level and use feature flags or even basic logging for when a given feature is used. Not sure how you easily measure the last one though.

Ask HN: Limit HN Browsing to Specific Time or Place?
Inspired by a recent Ask HN poster who mentioned limiting browsing of HN to AM bathroom.

I wonder, have some people tried limiting HN browsing to a specific time or place? And if so did they find that helped improve their focus?

But if they don't browse HN, does that mean that they just stare at code the whole day?

Nothing in the GPL does anything about freeloading; I'm using lots of GPL projects without contributing back funding, bug reports or patches, for eg glibc, GCC and so on.

The only thing the GPL does is give the same access copyright holders have to software to downstream users.

I did a quick Google. Play with some keywords, especially searching for images: drawbar steering-angle turntable dolly Ackerman train

The usual design is to use mechanical linkages to steer the wheels, with varying levels of complexity that have different compromises. A complicated double Ackermann example (scroll down for plan view): https://planindustrie.de/en/products/industrial-heavy-duty-d... and look at other products of theirs from the menu for simpler linkage examples.

Academic papers are about the design of linkages and turning paths, with consideration for tyre slippage, obstacle avoidance, following, etcetera. The more mathematical papers use an idealised world on a flat surface (ignoring: surface tilts; terrain elevation changes/steps; slippery or soft surfaces especially if variable). Some modern systems use computer controlled power and steering to wheels to help avoid the errors in reality of idealised systems. It is a huge industry, but we need a https://ciechanow.ski/ type person to give us a nice model to play with.
Then be shouldnt have agreed to the deal because there is very little he can do to get out of it. He cant simply walk away at this point.

I'm still holding out for an account conversion to a non-GSuite personal Google Account without Gmail.

I've been constantly annoyed over the past few years over features that are missing from GSuite accounts. To name a few: you can't invite people to your Google Home household, you can't start or join a YouTube Premium family plan, you can't add Nest devices to your account. I think some parts of the calendar integration still don't work with Google Home if you're using a GSuite account. It's been pretty frustrating, honestly.

And you can't really use Takeout to download data, delete the account, and then re-create it as a non-Gmail Google Account without it being super lossy. Things like docs and photos sharing settings would have to be manually recreated (or I suppose I could try to write a script that uses the GDrive API, but who has time for that). YouTube watch history and subscriptions can't be imported. The worst bit: Google Play purchases are just gone. Etc., etc.

So if they actually offered the ability to convert my account, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I've already moved my email over to Fastmail, so I don't need Gmail anymore.
Perhaps a meaningless distinction (there will be a global food shortage, and it's going to very hard in the developing world), but the BoE didn't warn of 'apocalyptic' global food shortages. The BoE warned of global food shortages, and apologized for sounding apocalyptic.

If you want numbers, you can maybe take a look at the UN Food Program's projections for 2022 (https://docs.wfp.org/api/documents/WFP-0000138913/download/)

~180 million people projected to be in crisis or worse food security category in 2022. I believe that projection includes the effects of the Ukrainian conflict. That number is also... not very different from the 2020 or 2021 numbers =(

Sorry to hear about the negative experience. When helping a family member through some health problems long ago, I learned that many of the primary care doctors that are easiest to get into are also some of the worst for dealing with complex problems. It makes sense when you think about it - Doctors who provide poor care or who assume the worst from the patients are the least likely to retain patients and therefore the most likely to have openings.

What worked for us was finding a primary care doctor who was recommended by others, even if the wait for a new patient appointment was measured in months or years. From there, the PCP was used as a pivot point to get to specialists who knew what they were doing and as a contact point for basic medication management. Letting PCPs try to manage complex conditions is a mistake, IMO.

I should mention that this failure mode isn't unique to American medicine. The same dynamic plays out in many countries and indeed in many industries beyond medicine. Getting into the experts who know what they're doing is hard because they're in the highest demand. Getting into below-average providers of any profession is always easy because they're not buried under referrals and people knocking on their door.

I think that's what GP meant by preventing freeloading. Anything you do with the source code to GPL software needs to itself be distributed freely. Ie, a company can't freeload off of your work to build and then sell a proprietary project.

The article is the source of the claim and as it points out it's not "bartenders" in the traditional sense of "a person working behind a bar" it's any employee which can takes order for/serves/delivers alcohol or checks IDs or who manages/supervisors those that could in one of the 56,000 establishments licensed to do so in California. I could definitely see that being ~1% of the population, or at least a significant fraction of it.

I used to use it a lot and do prefer it in the abstract. Just, my daily work has shifted to where I spend a lot more time exploring unfamiliar codebases, making small changes and refactors, and pairing in them. I work in a lot of different languages. Maintaining an emacs config that is truly very good at everything started to feel like a part time job on its own.

Plus I work remote and for better or worse vs code has become conventional for remote pairing. So I have a minimal emacs config for when I don't need any particular language integration, and the rest of the time vs code is good enough for the daily work I actually do, which is rarely writing out features from scratch anymore.

My friend you are me. You need to protect your managers better. I had this unfortunate situation 3 times in my career. Third time is the charm right?

Sometimes you get amazing manahers who may not be as informed as you and you don't think to grow their career. Instead of focusing on your task, find out what will make their manager value them more and accomplish that first. You need to be them and your own role, but only to the point where you can supplant their limitations.

As an IC you have to understand the reason people move to management in many cases is they are at their limits in a technical capacity so help them grow instead of forcing them to fend.

I used to ignore monthly sla reports because who cares but my manager was let go because our slas failed. He didn't understand how standard deviations work so I could have saved the job of a person who understood how to allow me to focus on the most important tasks.
