Not knowing that you have a heart condition tends to be the most lethal about them. Once doctors know, they can fix a lot but not before.

Usually the first doctors do (beyond asking questions) is start measuring things. I've had a checkout a few years ago. That included the indignity of having to walk around with a thing that measured my blood pressure for a full day. It actually came in a bag that I had to carry around. All fine in the end. At least as fine as 24 hours of monitoring can confirm. But it drove the point home that those numbers were important to figure out if I had any issues.

It also rubbed the notion in that by the numbers I was on a statistical path to a likely early death and that I had the opportunity to change things. I lost some weight by cutting down on junk food and I exercise a bit more. I'm not sure it's enough but I am undeniably in better shape these days.

But it also made two things very obvious to me:

1) that stuff has got to be very obsolete. There has got to be a better way to measure people's vital signs than carrying around a thing that pumps itself up every minute or so just to measure heart pressure. And what about everything else?

2) Why don't we permanently monitor people's telemetry? I do that for servers I maintain. I set alerts when stuff is about to go bad. Why can't I monitor my body in the same way? More importantly, why is my body not monitored until it is too late? Why can't I give my doctor access to all that when I visit once a year for my checkup. Hell, why isn't he calling me when there's an obvious issue. The status quo is waiting for bad stuff to happen until you even get to see a doctor.

Of course the raw numbers are not that useful unless you know how to read them but they are gold to the people that can. It's one thing to go to the doctor with some vague complaints; it's another thing to go to a doctor with a year's worth of data that make it very obvious what is going on.

And they appealed and then Twitter decided to uphold the decision.

What is wrong with an AI doing some flagging?

I've seen plenty of people say "killed" "kill" etc on Twitter in the context of news stories. Those accounts don't get banned. Sample size N=1 for an AI flagging your weird tweet, even if it was okay, out of thousands of tweets doesn't seem a bad hit rate.

Let's also not ignore the tweet and the thread is a really shitty joke. Then you go on to make a huge deal out of it? Just delete your dumb joke and move on.
> Can you add two more rings and some example sites? It's difficult to evaluate if there is no content to use.

I really should have done this. To be honest I didn't really intend to 'launch' it today. I just saw a thread loosely related to the 'small-web', and thought I'd mention what I'd been working on. I'll put something together to demo the platform.

> Have you considered introducing social features?

I wanted to avoid social features, and instead focus on facilitating other people hosting their own webrings without needing to provide the infrastructure themselves. I figure people can easily provide these features themselves if they need it, and if I can avoid the added complexity of maintaining them, all the better. Plus, the added burden of moderating content is certainly best avoided.

> The clean design is nice.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this.

It is an interesting question:

When we look at the "best" schools really the best since they teach so well?
Or maybe they are the best, since they got a brand early and simply collect the best candidates? Those best candidates would be the best students/more successful in later life even if they went to a mediocre university?

Obviously the better universities probably are better at teaching, but I still wonder how much depends on the quality of students that they accept. Also in the absolute top universities, lots of students come from "old" wealth - and are destined to inherit money and positions from their parents.

Obviously it doesnt make sense to send a kid to a bad university, because it is probably bad (bad teachers, bad students), but I wonder if those "good" universities are really that good due to own actions.
Further to that, most companies are refusing to comply with the spirit of GDPR and pushing the burden of transparency onto the user with those dreadful cookie UX journeys. The intent is clear: to promote negative opinion of what is actually pretty good, customer-centric legislation.

> If I remember correctly they even removed C1 instances thus increasing the price of their “cheapest” option from ~€3 to ~6€.

I went ahead and checked Scaleway's pricing[1] and indeed their cheapest "development instance" is €0.01/hour, which translates to over €7/month.

Meanwhile, Hetzner offers a slightly beefier instance type at €0.0065/hour, €4.15/month, and at €0.0095 you can get an instance type that comes with twice the RAM [2]

tl;dr - famous philosopher died. From the article:

This has nothing to do with "kids these days", and everything to do with redefining ownership.

When these backhaul comms go in this hardware, that "purchase" doesn't convey ownership. I would describe it as a rental in ownership's clothing.

The upper end looks to be about the average monthly developer salary of a poor country with many highly educated programmers (such as Belarus). There will also be a pool with talented individuals who are not yet on an average monthly developer salary, and if either your individual project or the scheme as a whole is somewhat successful there will also be a CV benefit in having been sponsored. And of course many developers all over the world would jump at an opportunity to get a month's funding to work on their pet project and keep the IP.
After buiyng a Yubikey and using it for like one year, I now use 1Password to manage all my MFA.

It can work like Google Authenticator (using OTP), except it's not tied to a single device.

Not as safe as Yubikey, but likely a good compromise between security and user stupidity protection.

Also:

- 1Pw blocks itself after a few min without use.

- Installing 1Pw for the first time in a device is a bit more bureaucratic than a simple login.

I really think any MFA needs something to protect users from forgetting stuff to be successful. Even if it's something stupid like going physically to a store. I can't stand the idea that by loosing my two keys I will loose access to all my things and there's no one who can help me.
Taking the target audience into account, I think the design is right on spot and successful.
Yes, I (CEO/Founder, DuckDuckGo) left a top-level comment responding to the article here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31557587. Would suggest reading it for a fuller explanation.

In short though, you're right it isn't about our search engine. It also isn't about 3rd-party cookies (another point of confusion I've seen), which our browsers block (including for 3rd-party Microsoft scripts). 3rd-party Microsoft scripts are also further restricted in our browsers with additional web protections, e.g., fingerprinting protection, Global Privacy Control, referrer header trimming, etc.

What this article is talking about specifically is one web protection that the major browsers don't even attempt to do — stopping third-party tracking scripts from even loading on third-party websites. You can see that for yourself at the bottom 'tracker content blocking' section of this audit site: https://privacytests.org/ios.html (scroll to the very bottom).
If you are talking about provisioning dot files and command line applications you want to have available on all you machines then take a look at home-manager.

https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager

I use it on NixOS. It should absolutely work on other distros unfortunately I don't have any first hand experience with that or with what the best way is to set it up on other distos (I think there are few options for how to do it).
Mostly it provides guarantees about your system. It guarantees that anything not in your config is not on your system (for the most part). It guarantees that everything builds successfully before it applies any changes. Most of the filesystem is immutable so it forces you to use the configuration.

There are some other advantages: rollback to a previous state at any time, enable complex system services with one line in your config file, install multiple versions of tools on your system without conflicts, install programs without root (using home manager), build VMs and Docker images, pin the versions and dependencies of all packages for reproducibility, patch software with your own tweaks natively. You can also put a Nix file in a code repo and easily share your build dependencies with other developers.
If you mean why do devs still use the terminal over GUI programs, I'd say a big reason why is because its kind of like its own universal GUI.

Take git for example. If I use VSCode and you use Kraken for example, and you have a problem with git and ask for my help with it, depending on the complexity of the problem I might not be able to figure out how Kraken works or even what the issue is. We could fix that by settling on one GUI git program, but you say we should settle on Kraken and I say we settle on VSCode.

The terminal meanwhile is the default choice, because its on every machine by default and is compatible with any other tool you use.
I agree with you entirely about the issues with the docs, there is no API reference, and Tiangolo has rejected PRs with automated documentation before. I by no means think the project is perfect, but I think it is a better starting point for most small projects. I just don't see any advantage to Flask at this point unless you specifically want to use one of tiny handful of Flask-X packages that are actually worthwhile.
I'd describe nix as "programmatic package management". Nix is a difficult tool to learn, but very powerful. A lot of nice UX use cases with Nix could perhaps be described as "like Docker, without the containers".

In terms of applying configs, ansible is 'convergent', where Nix is 'congruent'. https://blog.flyingcircus.io/2016/05/06/thoughts-on-systems-... (ansible will make changes to get it closer to a target state, whereas nix will reach the target state by constructing the target state again).
There is also an article about how they did submit a score from one of these Chinese "exaflop" systems, for a different benchmark and it turns out it can only achieve the claimed performance at half precision:

> Home Secretary Priti Patel added: "I am proud to be launching this new and exciting route as part of our points-based immigration system which puts ability and talent first, not where someone comes from."

For this visa route to "put ability and talent first", the policy would have to be designed to look for and accept evidence of those traits in whatever forms are available.

But this visa does not place ability and talent first, as most talented people cannot go to Ivy League and equivalent for other reasons, and the visa criteria don't accept other evidence of exceptional talent and ability. I have nothing against great universities (I went to one and have a poor family background), but access to wealth, historical family wealth, and factors such as race and country of birth play a big role statistically in who attends the top few.

As for "not where someone comes from", as the article notes the visa is entirely closed to people graduating in the countries of South Asia, Latin America or Africa. Regardless of demonstrable talent, those at the top of the league in the wrong countries don't qualify for this "not where someone comes from" visa.

In related news yesterday, an official Home Office report concluded "30 years of racist immigration legislation designed to reduce the UK’s non-white population". https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/may/29/windrush-sca...

Call me cynical, but I think today's announcement is another point on that trend line.
I believe the instant pot does have some way to turn off the sounds with config. I managed to turn the beeps off with some magic combination of button presses.
NixOS user here. My experience is that if you track unstable, you will have bleeding edge packages within a day or two from an upstream release. Likewise, due to how Nix works, you can pick and mix from stable, unstable, and your own custom expressions to your heart’s content. My personal preference is stable, with a very small subset of packages from unstable that I try to peg back to stable once there is a new stable release.

I will not pretend that there is not a learning curve though, Nix is a bit of a beast.
> To qualify, a person must have attended a university that appeared in the top 50 of at least two of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, the Quacquarelli Symonds World University Rankings, or The Academic Ranking of World Universities in the year they graduated.

> The list of eligible universities from 2021, published online by the government, featured 20 US universities, including Harvard, Yale, and MIT.

> There were a further 17 qualifying institutions, including the University of Hong Kong, University of Melbourne, and the Paris Sciences et Lettres University.

> Some academics have voiced their disappointment that no South Asian, Latin American or African universities have been included on the list.

Heh, horrible Priti Patel[1], implementing in the UK Trump's "No shithole countries" policies.

People who graduated from a top 50 university probably won't have a problem finding a job/visa sponsorship anywhere in the world anyway, it makes me wonder how the UK think this will attract them.

You get used to it. I've had the typical weekly oral exam during 2 years in the French "classe prépa", and it was torture at first. I can definitely say that it changed me, made me less stressed about these kind of situation, even years later at work.
Looking at the screenshot, I wonder where the asymmetry stems from. The word "Details" is not centered in the window. The spacing between the forward/backward buttons and the hamburger menu is different than the spacing from those buttons to the word "Connections". That's why I often find UI elements of KDE so cluttered even since KDE 2.
Yes, definitely. A saw or bolt cutters will go through a wire or cable lock very easily.

Just a few weeks ago I came back to my bike to find the bike next to it gone, with a severed cable laying on the floor in its place. The outer diameter of the plastic-coated cable was probably 10mm but the wire itself was likely only 3 or 4mm. It looked like someone had just used a hacksaw on it. I doubt it lasted even a minute.
I've tried them all: roam research, obsidian, logseq, the Archive, org-roam etc. etc. None of them worked for me until I moved from digital to analog with pen and index cards.

The biggest advantage that I can give is that everything is together in a unified language. To give a trivial, but extreme example, my workstation's colour scheme is controlled via my Nix setup. This includes terminal colours, GTK theme, Emacs syntax highlighting, Matplotlib colours, CSS overrides, window manager, and more. Yet I can change a single line in my Nix file and update all of these without worrying about the myriad configuration languages that are involved. A single change on a different line will update the default font for all these applications as well.
Nah, it is pretty much inertia. You can see it whenever PowerShell comes up, with all its vast improvements over the bash + coreutils ways of doing things, and people are still all "well it sucks because it doesn't work exactly the way I'm used to".

Frankly, software developers gave up on GUI in the early 2000s despite huge discoverability and UX advancements because the money was suddenly in shoving ads down people's throats via the web. Fortunately for them, when users are your product instead of your customer UX is relatively unimportant.

It is not the same because in the case of the coins above a flash crash results in liquidation of the collateral to support the peg. In the case of Luna there was no such mechanism as it relies on people doing the arbitrage required to maintain the peg.

This is in direct conflict with literally the paragraph you posted before it. You could definitely carry the RB-211 on a standard cargo version of the 747, as you yourself stated previously. It could only fit on the main deck, but the standard 747 cargo (aka not needing the guppy) definitely could do it.
Thank you. As someone who uses containers a lot (even to run local programs, shout out to https://blog.jessfraz.com/post/docker-containers-on-the-desk...) this makes some sense to me.

The thing that really bothers me is that the amount of beeping is totally not linked to the urgency of the thing. For instance,

My microwave beeps for a solid 10 seconds every minute after a run. In this condition, it is perfectly safe no matter what.

My oven beeps exactly 1 time when preheated, similar to how FedEx and UPS notify upon package delivery. In this condition, it could burn my house down if left unattended. There are no subsequent beeps.
That "study" has a n=1, a single "73-year-old Japanese woman". You can safely disregard this.
This seems an overly pedantic distinction. Demand is simply a result of belief in an asset’s value. If people didn’t believe an asset was valuable, they will not demand it.
GP's last paragraph seems to imply to me too that trust is all that keeps the pegs. I think the billions of dollars in arbitrage opportunity is a bit more powerful than trust as we've seen a few days ago when USDT lost its peg, but what do I know

Trust keeps bank runs away, arbitrage keeps the peg tight (feeding into said trust).

Really, a stunt?

If I can't change such things what can I change in a retro? It is usually either patting on the back or complaining on things that don't change.(late requirements, we forgot about one more dependency etc.) None of the negative things I have seen on retros in the last 10 years did get changed. So now I see it as a pointless meeting that takes away time to do coding.

Fortunately. With all the WFH in the last 2 years I don't need to really listen to it.
