I recently moved over from self-hosting GitLab to instead having Gitea, Nexus and Drone, because the burden of keeping GitLab up to date was cumbersome, given how it's such a large and complicated software package.

I wrote about it in my blog post "Goodbye GitLab; Hello Gitea, Nexus and Drone": https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/goodbye-gitlab-hello-gitea-...

That said, I still find the UI of GitHub and GitLab to be a bit better than Gitea's (the whole organizations/groups navigation feels better), though Gitea is immeasurably more performant when compared to GitLab, especially when the available hardware resources are limited - in the case of 4 GB of RAM being all that I could afford, it's the difference between a really snappy and annoyingly laggy UI.

Admittedly, now it's Nexus that loves eating my resources, though for the most part having software like it for managing most of my container images and other packages is pretty cool and worthwhile, though one might also want to explore the alternatives, such as Artifactory or something else.

Also, personally I find Drone to be a bit less capable than GitLab CI and its documentation isn't quite as good in comparison - though that's a given, since it's an external tool developed by another company. Though I guess even Jenkins would also be a viable alternative (despite it having certain issues with plugin stability etc.), or many other CI tools, given that Gitea is actually decently supported!

In summary, even if there still are a few challenges here and there, the whole setup is a lovely way to self-host your own projects and everything around them in a cost effective manner and whilst also staying in control over your own data. Gitea is an important part of this and overall I'm really glad that we have cool software like it nowadays!

At the same time, I'm more than happy to use GitLab or something like it at work, as long as keeping it working nicely, up to date (and paying for the servers) is someone else's responsibility.
I never expected to find a feature like that in the settings menu of an operating system. Is there any history to this? How’d a white noise generator end up in the official Apple accessibility settings?

The idea of having a setting that makes my phone emit continuous noise until I turn it off is absolutely wild to me.
This is quite interesting. The only issue I see is when you want to stream real-time audio and video over TCPLS. That is when you want packets that are dropped, late or reordered to not interfere with the delivery of other packets. Using TCP as the underlying transport makes that problematic, and even having multiple TCP connections cannot help much with that.
That looks really cool. I wonder how I missed it.
I worked at a record store in the 90's. It was right after cd's took over. I think we had 1 record in the store.

I was shocked over the amount of tranquility music we sold. Tranquility was nature sounds. I didn't know about white noise back then, but we probally had it. It was basically music produced cheaply that supposedly relazed people.

I got it. People are stressed. Did listening to calming nature sounds help me--no, but listening to AM radio on a boring station does calm me down, or keeps negative thoughts away.

My sleepy time music was Classic music. Pretty much everything.

Even then becoming a musician was as hard as becomming an artist. There was just no formula besides 1 in a million talent, like Elvis, or just sheer luck, and that meant exposure.

(I am thinking about leaving an old iphone strapped to a tree to record creek sounds tomorrow, and plop it on Spotify under "Songs to calm. Natural, and organic music."), or never leave my house and produce it digitally?)
Is this the same study?

> At the time of presentation, 18 patients were enrolled on trial.

> Results among the 14 patients with at least 6 months follow-up showed a complete response among all patients (95% CI, 74-100), with no evidence of tumor on biopsy, digital rectal exam, endoscopic visualization, fluorodeoxyglucose-PET or MRI. The other four patients are responding to treatment.
MTX are not inherently evil, for example I fully support one-time unlocks with MTX. It's a fair business model. (Although in these cases they might not be called MTX at all; probably "expansions" or "DLCs".)

And the thing with cosmetics is that they're opt-in; whoever decides to never buy will also never be negatively affected -- which is not true for pay-to-win.

I guess that's why there's this "evilest, eviler, evil and less evil" scale of game MTX.

I personally would prefer all cosmetics be farmable but I'm okay with having those be also available for buying.
Why not steal the idea of Pokémon go? Transfer doesn’t go to a person but to an area or group of people. You could pay to unlock an area and take a group of people on a quest. Or perhaps a boost or buff in an area.

Compared to the kind of games that made Blizzard iconic like SCBW, TFT, D2, and early WoW which were basically pillars in the gaming world, the game, while polished, was a fairly mediocre Team Fortress variant in comparison. It also had lofty ambitions of sustaining a large e-sports scene to the point where investors were paying tens of millions to have the right of owning a team. That never materialized and the game has basically been stagnant for years, waiting for Overwatch 2 (which was recently teased and didn't appear to change much) while other games like Valorant or Apex have made it largely irrelevant in that space.

My father had long term care insurance. He got Alzheimers, and went into a nursing home, and passed after 3 years. The insurance covered most of nursing home fees.

I did some math on the premiums he'd paid for the insurance, and the payout. It was a break even.

In other words, putting the premiums into an HSA would have financially worked out a lot better.

I can only speak for myself. I tried a microdose of LSD during the work week and it was really great.

I didn't do it to increase productivity, I did it to experiment. I was the same me, minus negative thinking for 48 hours. I felt lighter and happier. It was like a medicine.

Wish I could try it again but it's so hard to find.

There is nothing inherently wrong with modern TCP for long distance data transfer. You do need to use the right congestion algorithm and some extensions enabled to handle large window sizes to get high speeds at long distances. But UDP does not magically solve anything; if you want reliable data transfer over UDP you have to basically implement almost everything TCP does on top of it. The main benefit is that you are no longer relying on the operating system's implementation of TCP, the drawback is that you won't get any help from the OS or even hardware.

Lots(most?) comet discovery is now done off of sequences of images and looking for the dots that move in relation to the background stars once the stars are aligned.

Many good suggestions in here already, so I'm just gonna add Space Engineers.

It's a voxel-based spaceship building game, where you can quite literally design your spaceship from scratch. If that's not enough for you, you can interact with your creation by writing c#-scripts that are stored in physically accessible programmable blocks.

There's also a large modding community you can get into.
Whether you peg it at 1995 or 2008, you’re talking about a phenomenon that’s just a couple of decades old. That dramatically limits what the explanation could be.

Blaming the 2008 recession is odd, because other indicators of crime continued to decrease during that time. Homicides also decreased from 1929-1939 as the Great Depression wore on, so there is no basis for the theory that recessions cause violence.

It’s also probably not guns. Since 1975, the share of households with a gun has fallen from half to about a third. Childhood poverty has fallen dramatically over that time as well when you account for social safety net transfers. America was a less violent place in the 1950s, before the social safety net and when many more households had a gun.

People really don’t want to believe that culture matters. But blaming poverty instead is just inconsistent with the facts. Many poor countries don’t have the social dysfunction America has. And it’s not the combination of guns and poverty either. Countries like Pakistan and Yemen have many guns and homicide rates lower than the US, despite being very poor.
Presumably the excess energy can be exported to areas that would otherwise use fossil fuels, but if their success is copied by neighbouring countries, it might make sense to use the energy to produce synthetic gas to fill up the reserves of any country they have a pipeline to.

I'm not in the nootropics community, but I can say without a doubt that modafinil is performance enhancing and not a placebo. There's also things like amphetamine in various forms.

There are definitely performance enhancing drugs out there - effects and side effects might not make them viable/worthwhile for everyone - but saying it's mostly placebo is just plain wrong.
Spoiler - they probably know and don't want to destroy their reliable spam channel. I turn them off and either keep the app open when I've ordered a car, or temporarily turn them back on while ubering and turn them back off when I get a trash notification. This definitely strikes me as one of those comments you see on HN that is wildly impractical at scale, but it's what I do.
Thanks. It’s a good game, but I don’t see a programming aspect to it.
Of course, you could be right.

But maybe not. Firstly, if this is effective against drones, it is already probably worth it. Secondly, it could be that there is a way to heat up the nose (which probably cannot be coated with glass), or the air in front of the rocket, etc.

Anything which might save lives!
There's a difference between hard and feasible though. I love solving hard problems. I want to work on hard problems. I don't want to work on something that I don't believe is solvable. It's a prerequisite for me to intuitively believe something can be done. There was no feasibility question around going to the moon, it was all engineering.
Yah, I was expecting this comment. I'd agree but I see nowadays to obsession on abstract issues around functional programming like clojures, monads, recursion and code is data and function as first class citizens which might be of theoretical interest, but quite often are only code obfuscating technics.

When you use (progn ....) in lisp or (do ...) or (-> ...) in clojure you are pretty near to what I understand as imperative but you are leaving the orthodoxy of functional programming.

What is relevant is idempotence which is easily achievable in functional programming and in procedural/imperative as long as you don't use global variables.

Idempotence generally not a feature of OOP. (OOP quite often is not even deterministic).
That's true, Ketamine is absolutely fascinating and apparently absolutely fire-and-forget for depression. Either doesn't work, or works fantastically well.

I was talking about microdosing LSD, although now I wonder if there is such a thing with Ketamine as well. You might like to hear that the country I live in is taking steps to have Ketamine therapy for depression covered by universal basic healthcare soon.
As just one tiny data point, I recently started a limited company (Aktiebolag) in Sweden and the process of application, opening a bank account, and applying for VAT was _quite_ straightforward. It was not a very fast process and there was a bit of waiting for the various stages to be reviewed (about 5 weeks in total if I remember correctly). But the startup capital was much lower than Germany (25000 SEK) and the whole process was completed online.

For less patient people who need an AB with a quicker turnaround, there are companies that can sell you an already formed company with a registered name and company number for what in my opinion is a pretty reasonable fee.

However, I did this without any intention to raise funding so cannot speak to that side of it.
Yes, hundreds. :)

Here's a few examples:

In Germany, it reduces the overhead of owning a company dramatically (the overhead of a German GmbH is quite a bit more than just taxes, including mandatory registrations, etc.).

In Switzerland, it reduces necessary share capital from 25'000CHF to 2,500EUR (which can be deferred).

In the US, it probably doesn't make sense unless your situation is very special.

As a digital nomad, it gives you a clear business home while traveling the world (and running everything online is essential).

Estonian accounting and business management is all electronic, so you can essentially run your business 99% in Estonia, do yearly tax reports in your resident, all while reducing the day-to-day complexity of running your business significantly. (No more paper or faxing!)

For non-EU residents, an Estonian entity gives them a clear legal path to marketing and selling in the EU with proper VAT, etc. reporting.

Every one I know has had slightly different reasons while Estonia made sense for them. I'm also purposefully not addressing the intangibles of registering a business in a well-functioning, well-regulated, forward-looking jurisdiction, which is a large component for many of my friends. (We care about Estonia, like its ideals, and want to see it succeed on a global scale.)
I think he means just solid in the sense that it’s not moving cells.
At the heart of every SAAS offering is the core of the proposal: It takes money to make money. The same reason why finance related journals have largely kept alive while lifestyle magazines have shrivelled. If a thing costs money but ends up making you more then it's still a win-win.
QUIC's connection migration feature is really amazing for applications where you switch IPs, e.g. when your phone goes from mobile data to Wifi. Another nice thing is that you can cache sessions and resume them later, so connections can even survive reboots and server failures, or you can move them between different machines.

TCPLS seems like a good proposal but I won't hold my breath for it as the big players like Cloudflare, Google, Akamai, Fastly are already committed to QUIC. There's still significant churn in the proposals and some features like MASQUE are still being finalized, but overall QUIC works really well.

After reading the article, I don't see what's horrendous about it. Yes, having children has a market effect and is even a market unto itself. There's rarely any controversy to think in terms of the financial costs and legal obligations (or lack thereof) when discussing abortions, adoptions, disinheritance, estrangement, etc. All of these actions are connected by a single thread: Generally speaking, no person is owed anything for merely existing.

> Said another way, the compensation is pitiful.

The whole point is that being a parent is compensated in a way that no other choice is.

Parents take on a significant burden. They are compensated for it. There is no choice I can make as a non-parent that will provide me with similar compensation.

I think you're being unfair to yourself if you're calling this cheating.

Also FWIW, I interviewed with Microsoft at my college, got asked the very same question as the OP and actually solved it the same way. I knew the formula for the sum and the rest just came to me at that moment.

I was flown to Redmond, given series of interviews and an offer in OSG. Even though it was my dream to work on Windows kernel growing up, in the last 4-5 years, I had become a FOSS Linux guy so I turned down their offer, much to the surprise of the recruiter whom I had shared this was a life-long dream, and took an entirely different direction with my career and life.

Worked out nicely. I am sure I'd be very happy in Microsoft but maybe I am happier.
hot take: SXSW is pretty much a tech bubble by definition.
Of course they can pull if off. But why would they want to?
You're correct. We'd expect to see more extreme outcomes with smaller sample sizes. The question is does this translate to more drugs when administered early which was the real reason for this study.
This is one of my pet peeves too!

It sounds like we have similar preferences, my perspective is that they basically stopped making usable mice and keyboards 20 years ago, and nearly everything since then (especially via regular retail channels) has stupid gimmicks like extra programmable buttons, wireless, lights, is way too small ("laptop"), flimsy build, etc.

One of my favorites is the Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical:

https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-D66-00029-Wheel-Mouse-Optic...

It does come in USB too, and various colors. Although the model is 20 years old or something, you can still get them occaisionally on Amazon, ebay, etc as new old stock, OEM versions, etc. Whenever I see some, I grab a few to keep me going for the next few years.
Why complex social systems collapse faster - the article doesn’t talk about general complexity but the kind found in social structures.

It also suggests a kind of simplistic mathematical analysis which doesn’t sound super insightful or accurate. Otherwise, Asimov’s psychohistory could already be a thing, if it was possible to mathematically model with accuracy the behaviour of societies.

I've built a few perls over the past decade, and I am not sure I would want to use this build as per its linked Dockerfile as a (universal) starting point.

It does not verify the integrity and/or authenticity of the 5.36 release tarball, specify -fPIC twice (seems sloppy, or is there a reason for this?), and unconditionally compiles threading support (which will cause some workloads to exhibit reduced performance).

Disabling the test suite on a Linux distro that does not use glibc might be a bad idea, too...
Can't help but feel that this approach might not be that cursed after all, seeing how you actually went through the effort of automatically testing all of these.

Because the apple podcast app is free and, while pretty bed, gives me the same podcasts without ads.

It’s not that I want the free version of Spotify to do something, I would rather use other tools that are free or already paid for.

Separately from this, charging a monthly fee for a white noise app seems like a horrible value and something that everyone should avoid and just use an algorithmic source with a one time fee or is just free. I know that people are free to spend on whatever they like but it seems we’re far into “fool and his money are soon parted” territory.
