No, I do this because it dramatically increases my safety without imposing much personal cost. It makes me mad that our response to an overdispersed airborne virus is so ineffective this many years later, but that just helps me move a little more weight.

Altitude adaptation can happen passively, so it's technically better to train low and recover high. You want your training to be limited by your physiology, not by oxygen availability.
I think the key takeaway here is that people are allergic to that word.

I tend to think that social media deserves to be ranted about

Maybe. While I dislike a lot of social media, I'm tired of the rants because they are the definition of echo chamber. When I see such a rant that actually acknowledges why blogs and social media were useful and more attractive than building websites to most users, I'll have time for it. Until then, I think the complainers are not much less out-of-touch than the Gemini scene. (But at least the Gemini people are doing it deliberately.)

The worst thing about the rants, though, is that they come from people who act like they have just discovered that Chrome takes them to places other than Facebook. Like they think that these are unexplored new lands for them to claim in the name of a hipster-esque pose.

There's no web "revival"; the web never went away, it never stopped growing, it never even slowed down.

There's no "indie web"; there's just the web.
In a nutshell, as concise as I can muster it:

Drew didn't like Rust very much, and criticized it a lot for it's complexity. He is also a very vocal supporter of open-source, going so far as to disable NVIDIA's non-free driver support in his wayland window manager/compositor Sway.

On top of that, he made SourceHut, an alternative to GitHub/Gitlab and some other innovative projects, like Gemini.

EDIT: Drew did not make Gemini, but he is still one of it's most vocal promoters. /EDIT

Recently, he even disclosed a new systems language, much simpler than Rust and more flexible than Golang.

Suffice to say, he's made some enemies that don't want him and his team to succeed.

Yeah, you're right. I think it's time for me to turn on "noprocrast" and get back to work.
Excellent point, thanks. I could easily imagine that going into a downward spiral, where the lack of non-homeless leads to more discomfort, leads to even fewer non-homeless, until it becomes a no-go zone.

I would imagine that Debian (with the benefit of community+repository size and inertia) or Fedora (with the benefit of community+repository size, and something adjacent to commercial support) might be the best bet for such a distribution. Rolling anything different is likely to fragment avenues for support. IMHO, even Linux Mint / Pop OS feel too niche. Rolling a custom distro is almost surely a bad idea.
What industry do you wish to deregulate? Also, software is not unrestricted "progress." It is unrestricted "change," which is not always a good thing.
Ask HN: Tools for mitigating digital addiction, any suggestions?
I know this is an oft-raised subject on HN but I find that none of the tools I've come across thus far have solved any of my problems. As someone with poor impulse control and decent digital literacy, I find that I ignore any tracker app that tells me I'm on my computer too often, and I will circumvent any blocker I set up to disallow me from accessing media that I had earlier decided I should consume less of.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a tool that exists that will force my devices to shut off at a certain time and cannot be disabled with a few shell commands. I know this is a bit absurd but this is the reality of my situation (working from home, sleeping at 3-4AM for no particular reason) and I can't think of any effective solution that doesn't gimp my actual work routine in the day.

I also have an issue with constant alt-tabbing and ctrl-tabbing when I'm on the internet, even when I'm literally in the process of reading an article or watching a video (both in recreational and educational scenarios). Curious as to how many others do this as well, and if there's some sort of tool that someone has written to disallow this kind of behavior (perhaps adding some sort of "cooldown" to an alt-tab or shift-tab).

Sorry for raising this topic once again but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
The following are only my lax feelings. There was a time here on HN a few years back were Drew was often on the front page. He seemed to be a growing Open Source star. He had opinions, but also projects to show. I don't know if he changed or I changed, but for me he got some attitude problem. It certainly is not easy to be impartial when you are in the spotlight, but his opinions took a bit too self-righteous turn for me. It could be just miscommunication on his part (or misreading on my part), but I felt many times that I mostly agreed with him, but was not a fan of how he put it. I like what he does even if I don't really use any of his software.

Now that he was involved in a new language he seems to get more bad press with it, I think mostly because he is someone that is Internet semi-famous.

I think he has his niche and people should just leave him be. As it is the question of popularity it is sad that work he was involved with also suffers, making this spiral that gets back to him. Probably what would help the most would be to go a little under the radar. It is unfair, but the Internet drain pipe must forget that he's a subject to pin things to. In his place I would limit writing to things not easily consumed by masses or associated with him - like mailing lists. It sucks, because who wouldn't like to be free to express himself and to advertise his work, but there is no spam filter for the public Internet.

A lot simpler than a certificate authority, actually. There's no need for hierarchy, x509, or anything of the sort.

Take SQRL[1] for example. It's a login system where you scan a QR code with your phone, then your phone derives a private key based on the domain and a master key, and use that to sign a challenge. Every other device (including offline backups) will generate the same private key, and hence give access to the same account.

All databases are ephemeral if the person running it don't read the docs. Your comment is hence fully redundant, as opposed to the default single-node install of any DBMS.
Use emacsclient and have a emacs server running at all times. Super fast startup times, you can even use emacsclient -nw (or make an alias 'e' for that) in the terminal for fast edits with instantaneous startup.

You could also make a script that starts emacs as a client only if a server already is running

#!/bin/sh
if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]
then
echo "Starting new Emacs process ..." >&2
nohup emacs > /dev/null 2>&1 &
elif emacsclient -n "$@" 2> /dev/null
then
echo "Opened $@ in Emacs server" >&2
else
echo "Opening $@ in a new Emacs process ..." >&2
nohup emacs "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1 &
fi

I agree so I just started flagging the crypto related news I see. The discussions rarely follow HN guidelines.
I think that’s probably true for some amount of correction, but presumably there’s some amount where the juice just isn’t worth the squeeze anymore, right?

A quick google search says there’s 14b tether in circulation - if that’s true and it falls 50%, who is going to put in multiple billions to try to prop it up?

Firefox is not slower than Chrome. Some things are faster in Firefox (optimized JS, starting workers) and some are faster in Chrome (WASM).
The problem here is that in a perfect world this would not be a viable business model. This device makes so many trade-offs (both in terms of performance as well as eco-friendliness - shipping back spent cartridges for recycling significantly offsets if not completely eliminates the benefit of recycling) that it wouldn't exist.

The only reason why this exists isn't because it's a good product, it's because they can use marketing to mislead people into thinking it's a great eco-friendly product, grift ecology-related government grants or raise investment to keep their sinking ship afloat (this is where the DRM comes from).

The issue here is that in today's world we've normalized lying and screwing people over, both the investors and end-users alike.
Think OP meant $70M not $70B if they just raised $17M in funding.

To calculate your gross $ value today, you need to know your # of shares (10K) divided by total fully diluted outstanding shares (607,500,000) multiplied by the valuation (probably $70M).

Strike price is your cost to exercise the options, which should be deducted from your gross value. You will likely also incur taxes unless you exercise right away via 83B election
It isn't about you-the-project-maintainer, it is about you-the-project-contributor. That criticism seems to come from the latter, i.e. people who dislike SourceHut's workflow and feel that if they want/need/have to contribute to a project hosted on it, that project's workflow would be forced on them. From that perspective it makes sense that there would be people that try to dissuade others from hosting their projects on it.
Big waste for great minds. But I guess it’s their choice.
I think the thing we need to watch out for is using LoraWan in devices. It's basically a free low bandwidth network. Amazon has already included a gateway in some of their devices.

> I think lawyers would argue that by knowingly allowing some to violate your copyright you're left with less legal standing when others do the same.

IANAL, TINLA, etc.

Copyrights aren't quite as strict in that regard as patents and trademarks, but OTOH what's being violated here is primarily trademarks (an independent recreation of the appearance of an AT-AT in model form doesn't necessarily violate copyright in the way that copying or modifying 3D files and producing models from them would), and doubly so if the models are actually sold as "AT-AT Walkers" with or without the "Star Wars" brand.

An independent recreation like this is definitely a derivative work under copyright, but derivative works are often permitted under fair use. Whether this use would ultimately be permitted by a court is unknown, but a case can be made either for or against it, which is why any lawsuit by the competent folks at Disney would largely rest on the clear trademark violation, with the copyright claims thrown in for good measure just to drive up the legal costs; and since the fair use angle is definitely arguable you can't characterize it as a SLAPP and you can't really fault Disney for being willing to argue it in court. Vigorously, and at length.

Anyway, all this is besides the real point, which many many people over the years have learned:

Not really, it just implies that the competition is not modern, without qualification. I think asking for qualification in this case is fair if we are to conclude Redis and Memcache have aged to the point of needing a replacement.

A few sentences earlier, he said

I'm not making light of his situation or addiction, but things had taken a turn for the worse long before Texas.

> How do I get money to pay the dues? I build electric bikes and choppers. I get parts from different places.

"Different places." Smoothed-out, indeed. It makes me suspicious of profiles that weren't published.
There are a large number of things that could kill everyone, but I think the top threat will always be ourselves. It's very easy to imagine some resource war degenerating into a nuclear war. A few self-induced crises like that on top of the climate crisis would be enough to finish the survivors (who might have made it if the only danger were the environment).

Think of the world population's size and global distribution as hedges against disaster: the fewer people who live, in fewer habitable places, the more likely it is that some disaster will affect everyone remaining and leave no one unaffected. We have fewer rolls of the dice, and there may come a day where they're all snake eyes.

This why many are excited about the idea of "making humanity an interplanetary species", as I once was until I realized how hard it would be to make a working biosphere anywhere else, given how bad we are at maintaining one that already works. If we don't figure out how to save this biosphere, we won't have enough time to make more.
Ah, so it gotta be done on the OS level, and the approach would differ per individual midi device (to set which exact midi signals are sent per button) and OS (for automating actions based on those signals received)?

Hum... The Great (Web) Frontend Revamping seems to have passed. Nowadays people are still discussing if React or Vue is better, with a clear intonation of "whatever works for you, I prefer X".

Looks like the field is maturing.

Either that or we are on a fake calm before we see a lot of articles about people migrating into wasm in "whatever language has support for it right now" (AFAIK, currently wasm goes with rust).
So that means if Apple buys their chips from TSMC, then TSMC can now sell Apples chips directly to whoever wants them?

It’s not surprising it’s a dead bill. That leaves a nice opportunity for TSMC to capture a bunch of Apple’s margin without having had to do any of the chip R&D.
I'm no expert but I think one of the big ones is Grothendieck's identification of affine schemes with the dual (categorical opposite) of commutative rings. That is, a "space" is just a commutative ring (of functions on it), but you think about it backwards. So a map of "spaces" A->B, is a map of commutative rings A<-B. John Baez has a bunch of TWF's about this stuff that I highly recommend. Also [1].

"Particle counts increased what looks like quadratically with power/weight and volume increased linearly with power/weight.

The number of virions in these particles was not measured. So I think we have an upper bound of cubic growth,"

I wonder if it increases the overall virus expelled. If it does, maybe vigorous exercise could reduce the disease impact if done early in the infection. Like with people who exercise strenuously on a regular basis and do so during the asymptomatic portion.
Transport for London has a variant of the map annotated with walking times between the stations too - of course at the cost of being more crowded…

All good points. Sadly, there is no perfect solution. Which ever way you draw the map you are making a compromise.

The London map is by far the easiest I have ever encountered for figuring out how to get from station A to station B. On the other hand, as you say, there are sections where the distance is radically deceptive.

With the maps that show the stations in their real locations, they are much harder to read, but you get a sense of distance.

My personal preference is for the London style, because by the time I get on the train I generally don't care how long it takes, I just want to settle back and get where I'm going. Hopefully most tourists to London will get the message beforehand, through guides or advice, that nearly every tourist destination is easily walkable for able-bodied persons.
I think every single large bubble (2008 notably) has used the argument that "since the possibility of this being a fraud been discussed, that possibility is being priced-in by the markets" and yet still the bubbles collapse.
I would be more than happy to give up almost everything if it would stop climate change, but unfortunately even if I make all those changes, everybody else will continue driving cars, so it seems my personal choices have nothing to do with whether global warming happens or not. The way around this is collective (government) action to guarantee everyone will participate, but for a variety of reasons we don't have the political will to make that happen. Besides, I'm not convinced individuals' actions are to blame for the majority of climate change -- I'm not an expert but I'm under the impression that corporate / industrial energy usage is the majority of the problem.
To my knowledge Sourcehut is strictly based on mailing lists and email patches, which is by no means obsolete (Linux still uses them for a good reason) but old-fashioned compared to say, Github PRs, limiting a pool of potential contributors.
Traditional engineering can be done by unlicensed persons. It's just that the final design must be signed off by a licensed engineer. In the same way, open source software can be contributed to by unlicensed software engineers, but if the system will be used in a production product, it must be signed off by a licensed software engineer.

> This somewhat begs the question that there are the same rates of suicides in the two areas you are mentioning.

It’s not hard to find examples; Japan has a much higher rate of suicide. No guns.

Almost universally, men use guns or hanging, depending on what’s locally available.

> So, no, it is not intentionally misleading

They’re juking the stats to be able to make proclamations like “guns are the leading cause of death for children”.

When most people hear that, panic bells start ringing. They assume this means school shootings are killing an incredible number of children each year. This is a crisis!

People don’t realize that to manufacture that number, activists had to extend “children” to 19 years old, and include “suicide”.

It’s intentionally misleading.

If only they’d dedicate the same energy to exploring why our educational and cultural institutions are failing teenagers so spectacularly that they’re suiciding at unprecedented rates.

The only picture of the Pythian priestess is a red figure drinking cup from around 430 BC. She sits on a bronze tripod, holds laurel leaves and a bowl or water or wine.

She would, apparently, listen to the rustle of the leaves— scry into the ripples of water — and feel the resonant vibrations of the tripod. All in order to channel the wisdom of the god Apollo.

I'll agree it feels a little more stable in the past 5 years or so. I do have a sense that a lot of the UI libraries we used on our project are working fine, but are also deprecated and have a doom's day clock on them. Oddly, this is as much from "in house" widgets as it is 'in the wild" ones.

Specifically, I know that if we want to bring in some widgets that were created this year, we have a massive upgrade task ahead of us. :(

One of the big problems in the US is accounting for inventory. If you're buying "tax-free" from a supplier, that part goes "onto your books" when it goes into your inventory. If you don't put that part into a product and sell it relatively quickly, you owe tax on that part as it sits on your shelf.

There are some other issues with inventory taxation like how fast you can depreciate it (ie. for tax purposes, chips are treated like mechnical inputs even though chips depreciate MUCH faster).

This all strongly discourages holding inventory.

And even engineers running companies will come to that conclusion.
You kind of already touched on one of the main reasons: there’s a regulatory framework in place for an IPO in their operating jurisdiction. There is still a lot of ambiguity and regulation to come for ICO’s and they (rightfully) don’t want to risk their company until those get ironed out.
UI/UX is a fundamentally flawed field for a number of intersecting reasons, most of which boil down to not really distinguishing between when it's doing engineering, when it's doing psychology, and when it's doing fashion. And these days, on web apps and mobile apps, it mostly does fashion. Fashion must change for the sake of change. To more easily support these frequent changes, more libraries get invented to make doing new things easier. After that, everything in the article makes sense.
This looks really good! I gave it a thorough look and is definitely something I’d consider using. Maybe as canary in one of our systems.

Youth of product makes it bit scary to use fully in mission critical systems - given how many problems with Redis started to show up under proper load. But definitely on my watch list.
