I'm pretty sure that as a society we realised a very long time ago that for things that matter, tying votes to money is a really bad idea.
and has a name - "gell-man amnesia

It's actually better when stated without this 'name' like in the GP because then its weird nihilism and tropey-ness is more obvious. "Gell-Mann Amnesia" elevates a funny warmup bit Chrichton did in a talk once to something that sounds sophisticated and scientific.
No bicycle lanes. In fact, passing while completely in the other lane violates the law because the vehicle cannot be greater than 10 feet from the bicyclist due to how narrow the road is. The bicyclist's presence means they are, according to law, deciding the speed all traffic shall flow at. It is odd to me how bicyclists find this to be an acceptable situation and anyone disagreeing to be in the wrong, so much so they will downvote someone expressing direct experience on the matter.
I don't read that comment as blaming or smug, and certainly not abusive.

I ride my bike in city traffic and that's exactly the attitude I adopt: every one of these car drivers is going to kill me, and it's my responsibility to do whatever I can to prevent that. Laws and courtesy are great, but physics has no mercy.

The fact that most of the time we can rely on each other to pay attention, drive well, stop at stop signs, etc. is really wonderful, it's a daily affirmation that, despite all the rhetoric, we actually do care about each other.

But consider that more USA-ians have died in car collisions than in all the wars we've fought. Mixed car and bike (and pedestrian) traffic is insane. I call it the "mayhem lottery", but it's an imperfect metaphor: you don't have to buy a ticket to play, just be anywhere near the street. (Even indoors! People routinely drive off the road and into buildings!)

Anyhow, yes, of course bad drivers should have their licenses revoked (or even go to prison? Seems extreme to me but then again some of these drivers are downright homicidal, eh?) But it behooves you as a bike rider to defend yourself if you're going to run with the multi-ton high-speed metal. It's just common sense, eh?
In which country are you? Each country has it's own different incompatible set of rules about parenting.
That's Vimeo, not Patreon. I heard that Patreon already solved that issue by working with Vimeo.

And you can't post member-only videos at Youtube. Also, Youtube is just Youtube - you can't monetize your presence in other platforms with it.

That's an interesting hypothesis, but the linked article is not science news, it's an academic paper.

The title shown here is unfortunately editorialized, but the actual paper's title is "Covid-19 vaccination BNT162b2 temporarily impairs semen concentration and total motile count among semen donors".

I attempted to submit the link with its actual title, but unfortunately it just sent me to this thread. Aside from the title, this submission doesn't seem flagworthy to me.

I work on cloud infra in a healthcare setting. Basically a combination of on and off prem kubernetes (so multiple instances of the k8s provider) and other resources from the gcp and aws providers.

Really what a codegen would want to do in this case would be to make a terragrunt.hcl file that would make the accompanying terraform files callable.

It really wouldn't nessesitiate anything else unless you want to make it easy to parameterize values per CI environment. Then you want multiple terragrunt.hcls

Toward a Formal Scholarly Understanding of Blockchain-Mediated Decentralization
How many real world experiments do we need to run before people accept that governments aren’t self-regulating? Why do laws matter when the government can get around them and change them whenever it wants? Eliminating alternative means of exchange is just cementing the opportunity for governments to implement their own digital currencies, and if you don’t think they’ll abuse the power that gives them, you need to read more history.

Alternatively people can use uBlock Origin and simply block all remote web fonts. It'll break some sites which use fonts to replace icons, but the add-on can easily be disabled for those specific sites.
Since this was happening to a lot of people, I added a few paragraphs to the blog post to help explain it:

"One common experience for new players is they start the game, prices creep down, one orchard goes bankrupt, then the other ones quickly fall like dominoes and unemployment goes to 100%.
This dynamic is exaggerated in SimCB. What happens is that when an orchard goes bankrupt, that's ten percent of the economy going offline. Not only that but if that business had loans, those loans get reversed by a negative dividend imposed on people. In a real economy this would happen through banks or other lenders who would be forced to take the hit (since you can't default on the central bank). In any case this results in an instant shrinking of the money supply. The negative dividend acts like a one time tax, people have less money in their bank accounts, spend less on apples, prices drop quickly which makes the other businesses less profitable and go bankrupt.

In a real economy, usually not 10% of businesses would go down in one go and the central bank would have more time to react. Governments might also take on debt, implement bailouts etc. to help smooth out the situation. I could have implemented some kind of automatic government stabilizer.
Or I could have made an economy with a hundred businesses instead of ten, so that these effects were more gradual. Some things to maybe try in future versions. "
Did you just read a marketing blurb on their landing page and decide after 5 seconds they don't do unit testing? I guess we can also assume they don't brush their teeth every morning because they didn't mention that either.

In our district we had a parent punch a teacher in the face at a school council meeting over mask mandates. There have been numerous verbal assaults too. Couldn’t pay me enough to be the recipient of that level of vitriol
Wages alone won't do it.

You have the greater forces of an industry that conspires to exclude one gender and all but one ideology. The shortage is self-inflicted. Exceedingly few people are being allowed to do the job.

Edit: downvote away but the numbers don't lie. Male elementary school teachers hasn't passed 18% in decades (it's even worse in K-3 where we're talking low single digits) and there are multiple news stories covering the reasons. If you don't think men aren't being chased out of that profession then you don't know any teachers.
I'm sure this article will change the opinions of millions of people who watched Apple's TV spots gloating over PCs getting viruses and consequnently formed an opinion.
1280x1024 at 60 Hz is 78 million pixels per second. Color interpolation and Z buffers multiplies the number of values you work with by 4. Even if there are no overlapping objects, a 333MHz CPU would have to spend just 1 cycle per value to keep full framerate.

The only way you could update the whole screen every frame on these computers was with hardware scrolling, in the style of Mario or Civilization.
I did the Portuguese translation of this article for Nikita back then and it’s interesting to read this article again in 2022. While things are still bloated, I am very hopeful for the future after seeing many cross-platform initiatives written in Go and Rust. I hope to read this article again in 2026 and see faster, less resource-consuming apps running on our machines.
> this dude who doesn’t have this deal and has their usurious international fees on top of it, it’s definitely a bad choice.

That dude writes as if he is unaware of the existence of the government and tax laws. He is on a platform that is built for non-profits despite obviously not being a non-profit. And he does not seem to have heard of any kind of thing like international digital tax or the like.

When you just ignore the existence of such things, of course ~14% looks like a lot.

That said I think the project developers and maintainers often share a large portion of the blame.
Most projects are very keen on telling you about their amazing new features and the awesome stuff you can build with it. What they don't do is properly document limitations of their software or honest comparisons with competing solutions. Additionally many developers overhype the status of their project. They'll call it production ready, mature, claim it has a vibrant community and ecosystem and so on, when these things really bend the truth.
That builds expectations and running into critical, well known bugs that don't get fixed can be extremely frustrating.

As I pointed out though, endosymbiosis isn’t by itself enough. It can provide many benefits, one of which might be the ability to develop complex sophisticated multicellular organisms, but it doesn’t guarantee that capability.

This sub thread is specifically about developing intelligent life, and of all the branches of multicellular life on earth only one has achieved that capacity, animals. None of the others seem to be anywhere close, or ever likely to be, for all their fancy biochemical tricks. So it seems like the vast majority of endosymbiotic events really don’t help much towards that outcome.
Well I'm not democrat either, both parties do it to a degree, the republicans are just completely insane and super aggressive about it so its a bit more obvious
Best speed reading technique is actually to just skip the boring bits - the fluff that most nonfiction books include to move the narrative between ideas or to reiterate a point. Combine that with note taking and you have a very powerful reading technique. Same thing for most fiction, because a lot of words are spent on exposition and to get a character to/from a scene.

There’s certain kinds of dense nonfiction this doesn’t work for (dense because it doesn’t have filler), or literary nonfiction (that you can slowly savor for the writing or narrative).

I used to relish a choice set of words to describe an idea in a way that just makes it click for me, but I’ve found that (a) this doesn’t lose that because a well written sentence that doesn’t communicate anything of substance is actually a bad sentence (style over substance), and that most sentences (in nonfiction) are pretty bad, and that’s ok. Moreover, I’ve found that simpler writing ends up being more effective, regardless of any personal preferences for Cormac McCarthy-like prose.
What state please, not to pry
I know there was this real money auction debacle, but as I was playing hardcore I did not care.

I've had success reading less: take a non-fiction book, figure out the parts you care about, and only read those. Use the table of contents, the index. Scan the chapters for relevant parts, and then come back and read them at the normal rate, or even slower. If someone is saying they read 1-2 books a day, and they seem to know what they're about, that's what they're doing. There is no additional, hitherto unknown gear in the human brain that you can engage to let you read thousands of words a minute and understand them.[1]

I've had success reading more: take a fiction book, read it once quickly — even irresponsibly fast — then read it again for comprehension. You get a lot more out of it, and it sounds like you appreciate getting a lot of out of books. But, this way, you will end up spending more time reading, not less.

The other trick I know is to stop reading. If you are trying to work your way word-by-word through a book, and it's not rewarding you, either skip to the good part, or put the book down and pick up another one. You don't owe the author anything, and the world is full of more good books than you can ever read anyway, so why waste time on bad ones? An English Lit professor told me to make a choice after the first 50 pages whether I wanted to continue or not, so that's my rule of thumb. At first you think "Oh no, I've failed, I'm a bad reader," but over time you see how much more you read and learn because reading becomes pleasurable, and not a chore, once you want to do it.

I agree. I’m just saying you were rude too.
One is not like the other.

Art and entertainment are not useless to society, just because they don't have a utilitarian aspect. You can see that millions of people enjoy art/entertainment in some form and pay for it. There are also big scams like predatory IP enforcement and micro transactions, which we should fight against.

Cryptocurrencies were a revolutionary idea which has mostly resulted in crap results. Scams and random ware are rampant. Transactions are slow and expensive, unless you centralize them and lose all advantages of a decentralized platform. The environment pays huge costs with PoW, and PoS is always mentioned but never implemented by any of the big players. Also contributed to a shortage of chips and GPUs which affected the rest of the world.

So no, one is not like the other.
Well all news sucks lately. We are not paying for news but for infotainment.

Me too, so why not do it myself? :) Thanks for the feedback
Even better, the VGA text console can scroll by adjusting a couple of registers in the CRTC. (http://www.osdever.net/FreeVGA/vga/vgafx.htm)
I have a distinct memory of very early Linux kernels being able to use higher-resolution native VGA text modes. This would have been around the early 1992 / Linux 0.12 time frame. After being used to my PC showing 80x25 text in MS-DOS, the skinny letters and information-packed display made Linux look like something from the future. :) I suppose it was just a feature of some VGA cards around that time, and Linus decided to support it for a while. The computer historian in me sometimes wonders whatever happened to it.
So you are saying you think the grass is greener over there?

I've worked lots in both, and it really is not. There's something satisfying about the physical movements, and being in different locations, about the house building work, but that is very different to the issue of completion of work you mentioned and I guess you just never did more than one physical building job?
Keep in mind that our expectations of how much effort we should put into things have changed throughout history.

> We can digest just about any meat there is. We cannot digest any plant. Try eating a tree branch and see how far you get.

While I'd absolutely accept that wild humans are omnivores, your first statement here is false — there are many kinds of animal flesh and organs (tree branches are more like bones than anything else) that are bad for humans, and can even be lethal. Even some meats which are safe in moderation can cause harm if they're the only one being consumed.

But I'd also argue that it's important that we're not wild any more. We may not be able to eat wood, but we can burn it to create an external second stomach in the process we call "cooking".

Now I think about it, it's also important that the environment is, by our actions, radically different to the one we evolved for. Both plants and animals have been changed by many generations of selective breeding to be better suited to our dietary desires. (And other desires, but those don't matter for this topic).
You’re welcome, I learned that here too a few years ago. Love HN.
Can you provide a link to support / verify this?
> Mobile is almost all IOS and Android... and mostly but not all devs use Macs due to xcode.

Indeed and trying to use UNIX for mobile apps won't bring you far.

> The only places that Windows seems to persist are developer markets where tooling choices are limited to Windows (games, medical, embedded) or corporate standards dictate tooling.

The remaining 99% of the market where UNIX GUIs don't matter.

I am pre-diabetic and I very well might be diabetic. My A1C is right at the border so I was able to convince my GP to give me a prescription for a CGM.

It’s very interesting and helpful in keeping my blood sugar levels. I’ve been on carb-restriction diet for about a year and it unfortunately hasn’t had any impact on my insulin resistance. I had a “cheat week” recently and my body’s reaction to carbs was extremely disappointing so I guess low carb is what I’ll need to be on for the remainder of my life.

The thing I hate most about CGM like Freestyle Libre 2 is how they purposefully artificially limit the device to keep control over the user and to maximize their profits. I don’t have any data past 90 days, which I didn’t realize so I can’t see my data from before. There’s no reason to not store all my data and it infuriates me. The sensor is limited to 14 days which is also artificial so they are just maximizing their profits. I wish another manufacturer would come out with a cheaper priced one so that more people could benefit from it.
Yes, the universe shall operate on the bicyclist's time and speed. Anyone disagreeing with this is hostile and should receive lashes for being such an angry hater of anything that is good and just in this world.

I think the problem here is there is scarce resources, and you cannot understand or deal with this in any other way than to force everyone to live in the universe as you expect them to.

All people shall travel at the speed of the bicyclists. This is good and just and non-negotiable.

(And your math is flawed - how much time does the bicyclist lose by pulling over and allowing the cars to pass - can you even see your incredible bias here?)
Yes, absolutely true. vs08 was their last fast ide.
I really enjoy trolling the Harvard grads I know by referring to their “time at Yale or Princeton or wherever.” Old school rivalries run deep and are a lot of fun to play up.

The freedoms that republicans care about is the freedom to deny gay people marriage, the freedom to purchase assault weapons before your brain fully matures and without any training whatsoever, the freedom to use your religion as an excuse to shit on people and indoctrinate the children of others

The linux console is still using the framebuffer api instead of DRM. There's not 3d acceleration there yet, so no textures and no shaders. The console is slower than text mode and slower than wayland or x11 with 3d acceleration... which is why konsole feels screaming fast compared to the linux console.
Actually I read the entire documentation and browsed the source code.

https://www.talos.dev/v1.0/learn-more/philosophy/ "Security" section makes no mention of independent audits. It just boldly claims "There are no passwords in Talos" as if that was a panacea for security.

The existing integration tests don't verify any assumptions about security, only that the configuration is valid. Please correct me if I'm wrong or missed anything.

If you're going to call something "secure" you need to prove it.
Why I am highly critical of Nature (and to somewhat lesser degree of Science) I do believe the review process needs much more transparency. I am not yet convinced that making reviews public will make much difference to the better, however saying it will corrupt the review process is completely missing how broken the process is right now, in particular for these high-impact journals. Some copernicus journals [1] (I have no association, never even published there) seem to follow some interesting ideas.

NTFS is the only filesystem that matters for Windows developers.
When I was in university, for my Android course I implemented a speedreading app that worked by a) identifying a pivot character in the word and b) showing each word in the same spot of the screen, with the pivot of the word centered (as opposed to normal center justification), at a rate that the user could increase to their comfort.

Over the course of researching the specific algorithm we were using, I learned about eye saccades and speedreading theory. Even untrained users of the app could break 400 WPM comfortably using our test data, and regular users on our team were able to comfortably maintain over 700 WPM without previous training in speedreading.

The big takeaway for me, which actually improved my reading speed for physical texts, was the thing that slows you down the most when reading is eye movements. If you can will your eyes to move over lines faster, you can read faster. YMMV depending on the nature of the text (deeply technical stuff with unfamiliar words is gonna take more time to read thru, a big weakness of the automated speedreading app) but if you make a habit of trying to read faster, you'll find you improve over time.
I can watch the text scroll on my 4k monitor. I suppose it's a lot of pixels to update...
Came here to say this. Bicycling is absolute madness to me in any location that doesn't have dedicated separate bike paths. You are maximizing all possible sources of risk by riding a bicycle on shared roads.

I've ridden motorcycles since I was 16, and everyone always sees me as the daredevil. Yet, I still think bicycle commuters are the true madmen. Zero protection, can't keep up with traffic, your very presence is a psychological irritant to motorists which causes them to wish you harm, etc.

But don't take my word for it: https://youtu.be/wM8Xli2KTzI

My only advice to cyclists: put your bike on your car's bike rack, take to a bike path and enjoy. If you want to get on a road on two wheels, buy a motorcycle and wear every piece of protective gear you can afford. You (and your family) can thank me later.
A CDN for this? Sorry, but just store the fonts on the same d**n server you're serving the site from. Files are tiny, it's not 1080p video we're talking.
If this were as thoroughly studied as we were led to believe, then we would already have known about this effect. And yet we're just not learning about it, which leads us to wonder...what else are we yet to learn about it?

At least that's my read on the use of the "scare quotes".
