That's not how it works at all. Not drinking water will damage/kill you real fast, not eating food on the other hand is pretty safe for most people. The longest fast was ~380 days [0]

If you have some fat (75% of westerners are heavily overweight or obese) you can easily fast on water only for weeks, of course you're not going to be able to exercise heavily every day or run a marathon. But if you're an overweight office worker with no other health issues you'll be just fine.

For anything over a week you probably should get medical assistance to keep an eye on vitamins and electrolytes, but you're not going to drop dead/unconscious/destroy your DNA

What's dangerous is starvation, aka fasting until your body starts giving up, but for the average westerner that's going to take a long time.

You see such stories in media (and I would wager in practice, with any lady that enters a male-dominated group and ends up actually fitting in) frequently enough.
?? No it's not. The US's GDP is higher than the EU's and per-capita massively so.
Serious answer? Because boards of companies have control over many parts of those companies. Ensuring companies have a variety of people on their boards ensure a variety of viewpoints, and make sure female issues are represented. Are there are a wide range of other viewpoints still not represented? Yes, but let's try to make progress where we can.

Can men represent female issues? Of course in principle, but in my experience they often don't do well at it.

There are plenty of policies, including ones where governments spend chunks of money, to get women into (as you call them) "lower level men dominated jobs", these often involve advertising, and helping people get qualified to do the job. As there are no qualifications for company boards, that type of thing wouldn't help there.
Apple gets a cut of the subscription fee. So it's in their interest that prices get hiked and this "feature" is their subtle way of telling subscription services to slowly start hiking the fees.
Agree. I notice zero lean body mass loss while fasting.

At least no more than I would just sitting on the couch doing nothing.
Tesla is averse to any integration with iOS/CarPlay/etc and insists on their shitty walled garden being the only solution.
Self-hosted runners at scale are a nightmare. Random failures all around, exit code is whatever it wants to be... you'd think with the runner code in the open all that could be fixed, but no, it's a very confusingly written MS C# codebase that has clearly grown over the years as TFS Pipelines. Even the GitHub developers get confused when they tried to implement ephemeral runners and then figured out the scheduler just pipelines new jobs to runners and drops them permanently (shows as "waiting for runner for 15-20 minutes, then cancelled to the user) if you kill the runner anyway. And the worst: The component failing most often is the scheduler, and that runs at GitHub. It feels like it was written by an intern. It doesn't even do FIFO. Old jobs generally wait _longer_. We also have stuck jobs all the time because the scheduler lost it. GitHub Premium Enterprise Support just keeps saying to contact them whenever it happens and they're "working on it". My team has been working on making this entire crap work for almost an entire year on and off, and things only got marginally better. To the point we'll be using the new hosted runners with fixed egress IP and custom sizes instead.

Good job, you filled a hole in your spec sheet with literal shit and then sold us the only alternative a year later when it is unfeasible to migrate away again ("but we have a large Microsoft contract" politics keep us from doing that anyway, but that aside).
what makes code totally unreadable for me, is when people think adding more smaller classes and more smaller functions is actually simplifying the code. NO! NO! NO! You are splitting up the code and spreading it around so i cant see the whole picture and make it very difficult for me to track which function calls what function. After 20 goto definitions... i mean. common. abstracting your code is making it more complex. or. maybe im just working with terrible developers that dont know how to abstract in a simple way. Anyway, i dont like it. Procedural programming is best in my opinion. And if you are going to abstract, dont use too many layers. e.g. A calls B calls C and D, and D calls also C and C sometimes calls E and E calls B. etc... TOTAL NIGHTMARE.
Only if the pure function have a few parameters and do not need to carry the world.
If I'm going through the effort to do BLE relay.. then I can probably go through the effort to watch you enter a PIN through a camera lense though, right? (I'm not familiar with how Tesla's actually work)
Java – Project Lilliput
All boards are like this.
Because it is a rare, malleable, and chemically inert metal, humanity attached a special significance to it.

Since it preserved value for millennia, there is a good chance it will keep doing so. Unlike government-emitted currency, which devalues at the behest of politicians.

Central banks are relying on gold for its scarcity, especially relative to said government currency.
Oh, let's all go back to farms without electricity and horse and buggy, shall we? God forbid anything should change. Status quo is God.

I assume you're not arguing that humans got it wrong to ever count from 1. So you must mean that when counting things, we start from 1 and when indexing we start from 0. Like, "that dog has 4 legs", but when you refer to them it's the "0th leg, 1st leg, 2nd leg and 3rd leg"? This seems weird. It's true that then the first - sorry, 0th - leg is 0 from the start of the array. But it also means that the last element of the array is one less than its size. You'd also struggle to do the operation of counting. You'd have to remember, am I indexing or counting?

If you say so! Maybe you should start a foundation to encourage humanity to change its counting behaviour. The effective altruists might throw you a couple of million.
Not to be facetious but there are security products advertised as such (intelligent learning of application behaviours etc etc.
but why use _proximity_ ?

You may just as well require a click on the key fob or phone, the cost savings would be exactly the same.
Currently on the front page of HN is a “cyberdeck” that is a raspberry pi neatly fitted into a pelican case. I’d count that as a custom made computer, just as much as any pc assembled from components off newegg.

With synths it’s a little more out of place, since the majority of “custom made” synths involved soldering, and there are plenty with fully original circuits. But I still consider what he’s doing as “custom made” as the modular synth I made for myself by sticking prebuilt modules into a case
You might want to contact the author of Pythran [1], maybe something can be learned from what they do.

I would love to have it. It would mean that I would not need to remove key from my pocket if there was also push to start. It always annoys me when I'm carrying something having to fumble and get it out of pocket. Just to press button and then insert it.
Sorry, i should have said: that's not how money works in modern economies.

I'm not ignoring hyperinflation, but clearly it has nothing to do with Zimbabwe or Venezuela. The only comparison could be the Weimar republic, as this disaster was caused too by production deficits (France invading the Ruhr valley+ loosing colonial income), but obviously similarities stop there.
That's my point: society is lost on silly causes and letting any goverment to rule like an tyrany.
Imagine if we had level 5 self driving and I could from my phone lock the doors on the Lamborghini and drive it straight to the police station
The first amendmend does grant you the right to free speech, which "piracy" is.

The constitution also allows the government to limit that right "To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries."

There are quite a few limitiations in that right that current copyright laws arguably go beyond.
I don't know enough about wasm runtimes, but for example JIT runtimes like nodejs (or JVM via perf-map-agent [0]) allow writing out debug infos via the Linux Kernel JIT-Interface [1], which debuggers and profilers can then pick up to symbolize stack traces. Not saying that it has to be the Linux JIT perf-map interface, but it'd be nice if it's something implementors of the runtimes kept in mind (not implying that they're not, I just haven't read anything).

Betrayal in Antara (the sequel to Krondor) was like Skyrim to me. The reviews mostly focused on the outdated graphics, but we've long since moved beyond "graphics keep getting better" and I suspect it would be more happily reviewed in 2022 than it was back then.

Also, I consistently think about art (music, games, movies, books, etc), that while you may not have massive international fame, your work might still be somebody's favorite.
Correct. Which, for the record, I would never repeat and wasn't what I now consider safe.

Electrolyte supplementation on an extended fast is important, and I drank way _way_ too much water in the early weeks of that fast, which is also dangerous.
In principle nothing prevents doing it for shared libraries too, if you control them.
> Really? German utilities use batteries for day-night supply/demand smoothing?

Yes. https://www.vb-bordesholm.de/batteriespeicher.html

> Are you sure you're not confusing this with minute-over-minute smoothing, which requires ~two orders of magnitude less battery capacity?

Yes, Frequenzregelmarkt (minute over minute smoothing) and the normal electricity capacity trades happen in two separate markets in Germany right now. Allowing battery storage to take part in both markets is one of the goals of the current coalition government. Since this happened before that change and the article mentions it being involved supplying a city decoupled from the long distance energy transmission it is legally impossible that this battery installation just did minute over minute smoothing.

> How many GWH of capacity have they deployed?

4,5 GWh [1] out of which 1GWh is grid scale and industrial use.

> And isn't it the country where a KWH costs 33 cents?

For normal consumers, yes. Industrial users have a lot lower rates. A lot of this is taxes and similar stuff too. I found conflicting numbers on the precise details but 9-12ct are the used for producing the energy (including profits and investments of those companies), 8-9ct are used for the network (including profits and investments of those companies). The rest are taxes or other kinds of levys.

I commented something relating to this in another post, but since in Python/C# the resource and the container of the resource don't actually have tied lifetimes, you can do a different pattern where MyFoo() is a perfectly normal class, with a method within it that actually creates the context manager that loads the resource temporarily.

If you do this, you can move and store MyFoo's around, but in order to access the resource without getting an exception to the face you need to use with, e.g.

myfoo = MyFoo()
# the actual resource is only acquired for the duration of the with block
with myfoo.acquire():
myfoo.read_stuff()
myfoos = [myfoo]

# later
with myfoos[0].acquire():
myfoo.read_stuff()

Lifetimes are loose in GCed languages, so you shouldn't really think of some object's lifetime and the resources lifetime to be tied in any way, nor should APIs be designed with that assumption, even if the object represents the resource (confusing I know, specially since the languages themselves get this wrong).
Yeah I never got that whole "a function can never be longer than X lines". Screw that. Put everything that's relevant in that context in the function and only start breaking things up once it has to be re-used. Which happens a lot less often than many books and guides make out to be.
I don't necessarily think that is such a hot take, but a feeling shared by many of us. And I think that this ties to the title of the post and general discussion - many people (myself included) feel bad when seeing other people achieve something great or extraordinary.
It's so easy to diminish ones achievements, I often do it as well, sometimes without giving it too much thought.

But I think its also easy to forget that people in social media (or in HN posts) usually just present the best parts of them. Nobody talks about his/hers bad sides or vices, so it's easy to think that all the other people are great and better than us.
In reality most people - like you and me - are probably in the 80-90% of normal workers, be it IT or not, that achieve some successes in life and have some screw-ups as well. What we see in social media is a highly curate 5% of people that shine the spotlight on something great they did.
But even when it comes to acquaintances, when I hear about their great new job or vacation, I don't feel envious or bad. I compare myself to other people, yes, and of course I'd like to have some of the things I see, but not to the point that I would feel bad. Does every story about someone being successful make you feel bad? I doubt it, as that is not my personal experience at all.
The question is: is it more desirable for society to have the most competent people running a business or to have a balanced representation of gender, sexual orientation, skin color or <insert other arbitrary way to classify people here> running it? Free market proponents would argue the former is more desirable.
Edit: Just to clarify, in my response I think blacklist != censorship, if a blacklist can be altered by anyone on their own system.

You seem to have interpreted what I said slightly deeper than what I meant. I didn't mean to suggest there could be some widespread censorship. I imagine you could stake to create an account and then you could vote someone as a spammer - voting causes you and the person you voted to have to wait N more time before withdrawing (harms both accounts). If many people vote V for someone as a spammer that account would have V*N delay. I'm not saying they're censored, I'm saying they just have to wait longer before withdrawing to make a new account.

Add to this a simple blacklist system like how some antivirus tools collaborate, sharing hashes. You can pick your own third-party list of spam hashes based on different rules, or modify/build your own. Using your example of an account getting 100k spam reports on-chain; auto-add them to such a blacklist. Realise your favourite person has been spam-attacked in the way you describe? Whitelist that account. Like how you allow some apps you know are safe to run on your computer.

This is super rudimentary and pretty quickly thought of, but I feel like you could get halfway and that's all I'd really care for. No-one here is censored btw, as in like how Trump was kicked off Twitter, they're simply blocked by default for you based on an algorithm you choose and can be whitelisted again if you want.

You could add smarter methods like checking strings for common spammy terms, such as all those fake Elon accounts on Twitter saying the same things, and auto add them to a list. You could have a quadratic spam voting system where if someone is voted repeatedly the wait they have to withdraw gets longer and longer. You could have a reputation system based on the number of people who say someone is spamming where others have too, but who has never been called spam themselves, who then gets more weight for future votes to blacklist someone.

You could even create psudo-private groups on the system by adding your own accounts to a primary blacklist and then whitelisting each other. Obviously not private because someone could just not use a list, but you'd only see each other to make things easier, like a subset of Twitter.

I don't know, there's loads of small tweaks you can make here, but it feels like you could get a P2P application working better than Twitter in terms of spam if you have the ability to pick your spam prevention model and accounts cost a deposit to setup. Maybe you've worked on this way longer and have thought about these all before and they're provably wrong! FWIW I quit working in crypto earlier this year and am far less invested than others, I'm just also less dismissive of it off the bat.
I think we're recognising that this strategy was a mistake and simply didn't work with Russia. If we trade with them, they'll become more like us, was the thinking, and the strategy behind the German government's policy towards Russia for 15 years.
I recall videos from years ago of people opening up a car via relay of proximity keys, recorded via some security camera.

They literally just walked up with an antenna close to a house and the car parked in front of it opened.

It's _very_ different from spying on someone to steal their PIN.
Interdependence has been big since the 90s and seems to have been disproven somewhat by Russia now. But I don’t think so. Russia assaulted its neighbors several times before, so Putin had reasons to assume that the West would not react, just like before. The West neglected to follow through 15 years ago.
I'm confused about why this matters. From anecdotal experience, Nvidia seems to be struggling to meet demand for its products right now anyways. It's hard to tell, but I assume that even if crypto took a major hit, Nvidia could still sell a good chunk of its newfound supply to genuine gamers instead. Alternatively, they could invest more into their ML-focused chips instead, which are also supply constrained.

Granted, this might not have been true in 2018, which appears to be what the SEC's charge is focused on. Nonetheless, I don't think the huge amount of demand from crypto for Nvidia's products should be construed as a bad thing; there's plenty of other demand.
> The EU is not a single united market like the US is

The US is not a single united market. Each state has it's own economy, political and economic agenda, culture, market, legal and taxes, and local issues.

> that's why there are no successful software giants that came out of Europe.

this is just false. There are plenty of succesful european software giants , and there are numerous "unicorns" too; Spotify being the textbook example. There's an absolutely booming video games industry, Fintech and crypto (not my thing but can't argue there's no money in it) have very very solid bases across the EU too.

There's no single reason as to why the US has a stronger software market than the EU, but I would put money on it being "it's where the money already is".
Thats a really cool idea
> Putting women on them can show that they are equally capable

How is that a goal? Putting someone on a board isn't visible, at all. Almost nobody sees board members, and certainly nobody sees their achievements (which is needed to demonstrate capability). And visibility/perception of capability hasn't been needed in the past. Women have stormed institutions that were male bastions once.

> so that other women in the future will also have access to them

That's circular reasoning.

Note that I'm not at all arguing against anyone in a board position. It's just that this seems to be a "feel-good" measure without any reason and effect.
We indians needn't worry and can thank RBI (India's banking and finance regulator) for protecting our consumer rights:

> In accordance with the new rules, merchants like Apple have to set up an e-mandate for customer cards. Customers are also required to use two-factor authentication and set up a fresh e-mandate for recurring payments. The rules also require customers to give their consent each time they need to pay a subsequent payment of above Rs 5,000.

> The RBI’s auto-debit rules had kicked in from October 1, 2021, where it had stipulated that there will be no automatic recurring payment for various services like utility bills, phone recharge, DTH, etc. and additional factor of authentication (AFA) became mandatory.

> We can outsmart, and have repeatedly outsmarted, all sorts of potential disasters.

Unfortunately, the main one we can't outsmart is volcanic winter, which has produced planet-wide famines on several occasions, and is all but certain to happen again.

Geologically speaking, the 20th century was pretty quiet. In the 21st century we've already had two tsunamis (including the 2nd or 3rd biggest earthquake), and the Tonga volcanic eruption, which was fortunately below sea level, but still likely the second loudest noise in human history after Krakatoa, and Eyjafjallajökull which had the potential for volcanic smog but fortunately didn't happen.

We're overdue a Cascadia mega-thrust earthquake which would have "interesting" repercussions for the tech industry, given how much of it is based on the US west coast.

I agree with your point though, we've largely progressed through normal seasonal issues with crops, and dramatically improved yields via science.

This is precisely what I mean by "brain dead". You'll forgive the hostility, but this is exactly what I'm talking about!

Nothing about this list of things REQUIRES proximity unlock. You can still require the user to push a button on their key fob to explicitly unlock the door.

I get the convenience factor, I do. If that's a feature you enjoy, then great! All the happiness for you. But give me the chance to opt out of something that is deeply broken from a security perspective.

Let me press a fscking button to unlock my car, instead of my car deciding I probably want it to unlock.
