Tbf, last time I was shown this blog it was to highlighy on their detailed arguments to the effect that eating less in general and less processed food in particular and exercising more wasn't an answer to obesity (a remarkable piece of analysis which concluded that the average American eating 20% fewer calories than a time when Americans were less obese was no big deal and couldnt possibly be causal)

Quite why they have chosen to abandon their diet-scepticism in favour of anecdotes from a guy who literally promoted potatos as his day job and a guy who sells courses on how to eat potatos for $199+, but I guess contrarians gotta be contrary...
Yeah, right.

But we have known since always that one does not take serious life decisions in a storm.
Show HN: I built a fun video meeting app with 2D physics and proximity chat
Hi HN!

https://flat.social is a web video meeting app for organising fun online meetings & social events. Each participant can move around and talk with others in their proximity.

Here is a quick demo if you wanna see it in action: https://youtu.be/Y2yH3twjrx4

I’ve been on it solo for around a year right now. Tech used is Next.js, Typescript, PIXI.js on the front-end and Node, Mediasoup, Socket.io and Matter.js (physics engine) on the backend.

Feel free to jump in into the demo room (https://flat.social/f/Flat.Social-Demo) to say hi, I’ll be hanging out there throughout today.

Would love to hear your thoughts on it!
And a large problem of individuals wanting the money for running a business, but being disinterested in any of the work such as answering emails, showing up to give you the keys, or taking dishes from the dishwasher after your 100 EUR "cleaning fee".
I think this guys are doing something similar but for the JS stack - https://twitter.com/flatlogic
19% faster with Bionic Reading. I'd like to try again with different source articles that are not already part of my field of expertise. I felt as if I could answer the comprehension questions without having read the articles.
People lived normal happy lives for thousands of years on varied diets, not sure what else you could possibly want.
In the category of laptops I thought I'd see the Frame.work in the first place (as it has the best iFixIt index), but instead the place is taken by the P775DM3-G, a Clevo laptop, a brand I had never heard of (the brand is listed as a "Why" but that's an error, this is the reseller's name).

cool, it is good to know but, at the same time, it is weird. I would use x convention to deliver that message. That comparison table is there for a reason and that is to deliver a marketing message. I'm sure there could be some better ways to deliver that message.
This is basically what S2 the library I use in https://wherewords.id does, except I don't use the pgp word list because it is too short and would lead to requiring too many words per place.
That was far more complicated than I would have imagined. Thank you for linking it.
Im seeing ads now for "create content faster with GPT-3. So expect quality to go down even farther, to meet the demands of capturing eyeballs as cheaply as possible.

I've also started seeing review websites that are clearly ai generated these days.
2200 kcal of potato gets you over 60 grams of fibre, I don't reckon that is the issue with an all potato diet.
You'd think "very smart" programmers would be equipped to consider additional factors such as the cost of getting reliant on a tool controlled by a single vendor as well as the effects on other things that they care about. You'd think they also understand that people are not machines and reducing a task by a certain time does not neccessarily mean that they can get that much more work more done overall.
Every week, there is someone whose lottery ticket wins millions or tens of millions of dollars. It's not fair, but such is life - some people are just more lucky than others. The smartest thing you can do about it is to not dwell on it too much, other people's extraordinary luck does not affect your life in any way anyway.

That also applies to crypto - at any given point in time, plenty of people are investing in crazy speculative schemes. A minority of them win big, while a majority loses some or most of their money. The crypto crowd who bough 10 years ago just happened to select the right lottery ticket, while other people who at that time invested in equally far-fetched ideas (AR startups, synthetic meat, whatever crazy fad that died in the early stages before even reaching mainstream media) lost their money.
I feel like I've seen this. Can you check stuff like capture settings?

Off topic, but any interesting destinations that had reasonable AirBNB's that you want to share? :)

I plan to do something similar this year, hopefully.. wondering where to go, though.

Umm... you reactivated your profile because something you don't see or use is toxic? What?
Thanks for catching that! Not living in the UK my familiarity is mostly with the topic as an example of civilian ELINT and the modern “anti-myth” that this stuff never worked/existed and it was a scam by the government since the 1950s. It’s past the edit window so I can’t fix that up in my comment unfortunately
You're applying corporate thinking to this. Wikimedia Foundation doesn't need marketing or branding people, it really doesn't. Communications people I can understand because there will be journalists and others that need to be communicated to. But they don't need a marketing strategy nor do they need marketing collateral.
Not 100% Accurate.

A lot of us who speak Cantonese as mother tongue use "Cantonese" as written languages on online forums / medias. Written Mandarin normally appear on news or more formal environment.
The biggest challenge is in getting the machine to download a modern TLS implementation in the first place. You could just use a different, modern machine for that, but this asks interesting questions about our software/formats/protocols supply chains. How recent does a machine need to be, to be able to upgrade to anything at all? Can you understand what the software you're running is actually doing? With the forked Firefox being hopelessly behind upstream, what are the risks of running an outdated stack - should you bet on being obscure enough to not be a target, or take every precaution, such as just disabling JS altogether?
What would also be nice is an ML or Lisp transpiled to Go. Go has a nice compiler with a lot of money thrown into it, but it's locked into one syntax, and set of language features that isn't optimal for every use case, so it's a good target for transpilation.

It would be fun to see Go with a terser syntax, better type inference, nicer error handling, etc.
What is the downside for a user to have a few minutes of downtime?

What is the upside for HN to add this engineering complexity to avoid a couple of minutes of downtime?
There's nothing stopping you from using it on all sorts of wild-shaped grids. E.g. the townscaper grid isn't a rectangular grid at all. It only happens to use squareish cells. IIRC it's a distorted subdivision of a hexagonal grid.

As soon as your model has nodes and edges you can use wave function collapse on it. Your grid doesn't even need to have every cell be the same shape. Square(ish) cells just happen to be easy to design graphics for.
$60/hr? Maybe in the US, but really uncommon even in western countries like Germany.
For the education oriented audience you need to explain everything, in some good order of revelation. Ideally not all at once. What is it that we are calling "shell"? Why is it called that? Where does it come from? Why are there different kinds of these things? Why do we go out of our way to install some other one intended for some other system? What's Linux?

This author doesn't have a chance in a room full of newbies. You have to have your technical dope straight, and it's not enough.

2: The code does not handle authentification. The code literally just says "Give me this, give me that...".

3: It is still a "a client-server http roundtrip" for every query. It does not open and close the http connection every time. But it sends a "GET / HTTP ..." request for every query. With hostname, accepted formats, encodings etc.
How have universities adapted to copy-pasting code off of StackOverflow?
Central banks have a choice to make. After the insane bubbles they've blown for the last 20 years, and the government debt created along with that, they can either raise interest rates aggressively and basically bankrupt their countries for a while (this isn't necessarily a catastrophe), or they can inflate away the debt by refusing to raise interest rates.

I strongly suspect the only reason the US has been aggressive in rate hikes is because they can do it with the US dollar's reserve status. For the UK, EU, and others, it's not so clear.

It might be much easier on governments just to inflate the debt away, it will take longer and won't mean massive crashes. It will mean completely destroying most middle class and upper middle class savings. I think many governments won't mind doing that.
I probably should have clarified that I meant yearly gains, I can see how that can be confusing to read for someone that doesn't spend time on these topics.
Does this mean using the 2 month free trial they advertise? (Is there anywhere we can go for more information on "free until August 22"?
Read the conditions, entering grants airbnb full intellectual property rights to the idea. A pretty big ask when the "reward" is a job running a BnB.
Not parent but any decent airbnb in Europe is likely also listed on other platforms. Those that are not, avoid.
This is true, but only because none of the systems have critical mass. It'd only need a couple of car manufacturers to agree on a system like this for their gps and it'd take over pretty quick.
Metals are also recyclable as many times as you want.

Recycling is not perfect but I don’t understand the negativity. Do you really think it would be preferable to just send everything straight to landfills instead of trying to recycle what we can, even if only once?
thank you, fixing =)
From what I can tell Bitcoin is irredeemably flawed. No, I am not jealous for missing the train. I don't have money to fling into a shitcoin even if I was brainwashed enough to believe that this is how one should structure society.

I am honestly disappointed that the only cryptocurrency that is worth using is dead. If anything, if I wanted to get into crypto I would have to create my own cryptocurrency which is inherently anti speculative and encourages people to work and trade instead of rent seeking. However, even if I were to do that, I would run into two problems. I don't need a decentralized cryptocurrency for this, a normal bank would be good enough, the only point would be to bypass regulations. Because taxes are payable in a different currency than my own, there would be a constant drain of people selling the currency for dollars to pay taxes for example.

Since cryptocurrency is inherently unusable as a medium of exchange, it is a complete failure.
Addendum, if choice is directly or indirectly decided by user input that code as is allows for array out of bounds.
The transpiled Go code seems to end up having to use lots of unsafe code, as even this little sample shows... it would probably be impossible to translate C without doing that. Is the resulting binary actually memory safe in any meaningful way, or even safer than the original C?
I can agree, in my experience just like with agile, the term is now completly misused.

For most projects I have been involved since DevOps became a term, it is plain sysadmin tasks by another name.
That being true, it could well be that a "Potato Only Diet" is effective for weight loss not because of the reduced energy intake, nor because of some subtlety in how our gut or our metabolism deals with an only starch diet for a while, but instead because potatoes lack micronutrient X or inhibit its absorption and a symptom of X deficiency is losing weight. That could be unhealthy.

I don't have an opinion either way and I don't think this is a likely reason, but it is a possibility.
I'm not joking. You are missing (or deliberately leaving out) context:

I'm not saying event sourcing is a more pragmatic (practical) solution. I'm giving an example from practice.
Same here. I gave it a go for a while, thinking I must be holding it wrong or something.
There is now also mine in alpha https://businessclasskit.com/ focused on Rails defaults (Active Storage, Minitest, ...) with Paddle (important for Europeans to skip on dealing with EU taxes).
People with CompSci degrees have changed the world in the past few decades. Many of those changes are good, but they have also built tools that are being used to undermine democratic processes, to cause wide-scale depression, the violation of the people's rights, etc.

The reason is exactly because people with CompSci already do not study enough philosophy, ethics, sociology and hence do not have any idea that you have to think about the consequences of the tools you build on society. Or do great evil.

Adopting a diet that deprives an overweight person of necessary vitamins and nutrients will not improve their health but will deteriorate it as now alongside all of the health problems they had their body can't function properly.

Adopting a diet that balances nutrients and calories and also provides all needed vitamins will lead to weight loss and health improvement (in most cases).
It’s because reducing your personal footprint feels good but doesn’t achieve much globally.
Yep - I also used to use airbnb without even thinking twice about it in Europe. Last few trips have been getting steadily worse, culminating in a stay where the residence was completely unsuitable for habitation (extremely cold & heating was broken, no linens/towels, mold & damp issues) and airbnb caught us in some sort of bizarro catch-22.

Basically they said: "we can't refund you until you give the host a fair opportunity to address the issues, so get back to us in 24 hours if the host hasn't done anything". When the host failed to do anything and we re-contacted airbnb, they said that the period of validity for us to file a complaint and get a refund had expired, and they would not do anything to help us.

My wife and I fought this, HARD. One of the few times I've basically seen red while trying to sort out a simple issue like this. The host was contacted by airbnb and was livid, and became extremely hostile and unfriendly to us in communications. We ended up getting a hotel nearby and working out the whole thing through travel insurance. Honestly, fuck airbnb.
You don't need xargs when you're using a programming language.
That's a good point.

I don't feel bad about cheating. I was always aiming for a reduction. If we all managed a 20-30% reduction, it would help.

It would also become a lot easier as businesses would have to cater to these concerns. This is how Germany got so vegetarian-friendly.

The C version calls latLngToCell() and the Go version calls FromGeo().

What an amazing tool that can completely change function names when it converts from C to Go.

I'm sure that's it... on a single-threaded microbenchmark not running the same code.

How so? Somebody links to a webpage, decentralized resolver converts it to an IPFS hash, which the client queries for any providers of that hash, and retrieves directly from them. No central authority necessary

Frankly the other platform seems to often be cheaper when the room's listed on both (there's surprisingly little overlap even in the self catered apartments and spare rooms category)

Sure, it has the irritating design patterns telling you that 3 people have looked this room in the last hour to try to encourage you to rush a decision, but manages to be still more honest in displaying the actual amount you pay per night rather than an amount plus 14% fees...
I am a vi user and tried vi mode in zsh but never liked it. For some reason the modal aspect doesn’t fit for me in the context of the shell. I’ve learned enough emacs bindings to work the shell.
Their search now prominently encourages odd stays like this as well. It's puzzling as it seems to be at the expense of other search filtering.

They've reduced useful search filters like 'has a desk' and there is no filter for 'not a tent or van' which is increasingly common. Some areas (Hawaii) contain vans as the majority of their listings. But no filters against them.

Their direction reminds me of the progress of Netflix to be less searchable and more about content they want to push. I guess it works out in the a/b tests but likely misses the forest for the trees.

A tip: use airbnb.com.au instead of .com as you'll get the real full price in the searches as they must comply with Australian law. This works all over the world.
Thank you for this thorough description! I'll keep an eye out for the shortcomings so they don't creep into Avo.

I'd love it if you'd try Avo for a project (not just for 30 minutes) and compare the two. I think having an experienced developer on a real project would yield a real comparison.
I've been using https://libera.chat/ which allows "claiming" Nicks with a registered email account... I suppose it would be possible to "buffer" messages?

I see some IRCs even keep a mailing-list-like record of all messages posted on a channel... so I don't see how it's not possible.
If all you have is a screw and a hammer, it doesn't really matter how hard you hit it.

I haven't seen it mentioned in the post, but it is worth mentioning that (boiled) potatoes have the highest satiety index [1] among common foods.

The highest SI score was produced by boiled potatoes (323 +/- 51%) which was seven-fold higher than the lowest SI score of the croissant (47 +/- 17%)

Amusingly enough, I originally opened with a half paragraph about how the lack of prosecution shouldn’t be viewed as evidence of anything about the existence of the tv detector vans. But I cut it while drafting. Your completely right about the vans never being a source of evidence for a prosecution.

The complete lack of direct evidence tying a ban to a prosecution reminds me of the way the FBI are now treating Stingray cell site hijack tools… But it likely comes down to a combination of the enforcement agency’s limited powers and inherent ambiguities that couldn’t be eliminated from the technology. If they couldn’t prove that their signal couldn’t be coming from a TV in the neighbouring row house with perhaps a meter of separation and mirrored layouts placing rooms like master bedrooms and lounge rooms commonly back to back on the adjoining wall, and they lack the power to force someone to let them in, they effectively have their hands tied… but I can definitely see how it would be useful as a tool to quickly cull down lists of hundreds of potential unlicensed premises and to provide the sort of inadmissible hearsay that would provide internal evidence/justification for investigations using other means that could then actually be used for prosecution.

I suppose it was a hollow threat in the sense they could never just lock you up because some detector van snooped you out driving down the street. But in the sense that it was likely an efficient tool to help the agents doing the enforcement work over a large area, the side effect of selling it to the public was probably a bit of clever PR scam pulled by the enforcement agency, who needed all the help they could get since famously, you didn’t have to let them in which sort of cuts off a lot of ways for them to prove/investigate anything.
That's the "FFS Fund"...

> Where the GPL was vague and exploited, the AGPL clarifies and closes the loophole

It can be easily surpassed. Just create a simple wrapper and publish it. And voila, you are can use everything for free again)

All of these FOSS licenses are just beautiful constructs, not related to how the world really works.

A simple question. How do people, building true FOSS libraries, make their ends meet, if everything is 100% free?

> ethics or enforcement are a distant concern.

The main thing that you are missing is that ethics and capitalism are very distant concerns.

> they make sure that nobody can use it except corporations without morals? What the fuck?

We live in different worlds, man.

The summary of your complaints is that you want to use NC software or artefacts for profit (basically to resell it in some form or another) … and you cannot because you are so moral.

But … just use it not for profit, or pay the authors, if you use it for profit. Simple, right?

> even more so than proprietary software

As an experiment, try stopping to use any non 100% FOSS software (or any software you did not pay for) for a day and report the results.
