Raw USB is a Chrome-only extension, Safari and Firefox don't support it because it's an awful idea. Even so, it's much easier to make a meaningful permission dialog for USB than for a TCP or UDP connection. With USB there's a limited set of devices you can connect to, and they somewhat human-readable names or vendor IDs that can be translated into names, and there's no way to do something like a DNS rebinding attack with them since the browser can detect when the device is unplugged.

It is entirely possible to make a secure SSH or IMAP client in the browser, just proxy the encrypted data and do TLS or the SSH protocol in Javascript.
> Capitalism's "winning" of the Cold War was one of the biggest humanitarian disasters of our time.

Whoa. You're completely ignoring the fact that USSR's collapse allowed a lot of nations, comprising of easily over a hundred million people, to gain independence. A lot of them, since freed from Moscow's yoke, are thriving in an unprecedented manner. It's basically the opposite of humanitarian disaster for them.
To add to Peyton's comment:

"On June 27, 2022, the United States Supreme Court ruled that doctors who act in subjective good faith in prescribing controlled substances to their patients cannot be convicted under the Controlled Substance Act (“CSA”). The Court’s decision will have broad implications for physicians and patients alike. Practitioners who sincerely and honestly believe – even if mistakenly – that their prescriptions are within the usual course of professional practice will be shielded from criminal liability.

...

The Court’s decision will protect patient access to prescriptions written in good faith. However, for the government, the Court’s decision means prosecutors face an uphill battle in charging, much less convicting, physicians under the CSA. Indeed, the Court’s decision may have a chilling effect on the recent surge in DOJ prosecutions of medical practitioners and pain clinics. "

> The malpractice insurance of a family doctor is $13,000 a year, while an obstetrician’s insurance can cost $71,000 a year.

This is flat out wrong. No one is paying $71,000 a year in medical malpractice. An average OB/GYN is at $5k / year in insurance costs [1].

A really good source for medical malpractice claims data is the National Practitioner Data Bank which posts data on all paid medical malpractice claims since 1991 [2].

A summary of the data for the U.S. as well as for each individual state is here [3]. All of this is to say, the number of paid malpractice claims has been dropping since 2001, and the total amount paid on these claims has also dropped by 23% since 2003.

What is the real issue here? Defensive Medicine.

Doctors are terrified of being sued so they order batteries of unnecessary tests on patients and make unnecessary referrals in order to avoid lawsuits. These unnecessary tests drive up healthcare costs, not the direct cost of medical malpractice.

This is a problem with the healthcare system and how patients can initiate lawsuits. I don't think it is entirely fair to blame the physician in this instance for covering their bases. Any doctor who has been sued for medical malpractice will tell you that it was a humiliating and degrading experience even if they won their case.

I agree that buses are cramped and that trains are way more comfortable, but I think we can also agree that whatever space you don't have in a bus, it will be even worse on a plane...

Also, let's not forget that the experience of traveling by bus got worse mostly because of the popularization of low-cost short-haul flights, and that has killed the market for "premium" bus traveling. If short-haul flights were out of the picture, I wouldn't be surprised if someone started offering bus travel with larger seats (in 2-1 configuration) and even more sleeper buses for night travels [0]

FWIW, for me HIIT was the catalyst to exercising.

As someone who wanted but struggled to motivate myself to take up regular physical activities, the short duration of HIIT was what sold it to me. Sure it's "intense", but I found it way easier to just push myself for ~10min (20min door-to-door) rather than finding time for a 1-2h regular exercise - which I personally don't enjoy much more anyway.

Weight loss has never been my consideration. However, what I've found over the years (and is also supported by research afaik) is that a practice of regular short HIITs greatly contributes to endurance too. Anecdotally, by doing HIITs almost exclusively I am able to keep up pretty well with my triathlon friend during longer runs.

Absolutely.

I've seen teams evaluate multiple revision systems before starting projects and each one has decided on Mercurial based on its technical merits.

I'll take it on trust that git is a perfect solution for linux kernel development, but the number of teams who work the same way as them is a rounding error from zero. I see people on here complaining about cargo-culting from the cool kids (k8s, spotify's team structures, etc., ect.), but I see git as exactly the same.

I don't want to have to spend time understanding how my editor handles lines in memory in order to use it, why should I have to spend time understanding how my revision control system treats revisions?

Tech is hard enough without having to sink time in to unnecessarily complicated tools that can bite you in the bum really hard.
Well, maybe it's their other company. (Just kidding.)

I noticed the same thing, and decided not to "out" them. I read a different discussion on HN, earlier tonight (can't find it now) about how companies should communicate impending layoffs (if at all), and it is clear that many choose to keep their cards to their chest. This discussion is very different, and made me wonder if it is part of their open source culture, because through the eyes of many companies this "Ask HN" may be perceived as naive or maybe even desperate.

> Advertising and Marketing seemed to be the biggest hold outs.

I'm working in that area on the tech side. Most corporate places these days are dead, soulless paper pushing jobs manned by drones. In contrast, the advertising, marketing and entertainment (movies, music, ...) industry depends on their people not being mindless drones, so they are heavily incentivized to allow their employees whatever they need to get their job done.

Obviously that has led to a number of issues, particularly with sexualized aggression and abuses of power/authority (#metoo being just the tip of the iceberg), so we're seeing some of the freedoms of the holdouts being taken back... but I'm pretty confident the industry as a whole will not be "corporate transformed" any time in the near future.
Different types of exercise have different effects on our metabolism. It's an exaggeration to call it "micro-optimization", HIIT does not need to be complicated, just go do some sprints!

Me personal experience checks out with the author's anectdata. Following a broken leg I gained about 20 pounds over 2 years, and burned it off quickly (5 weeks) once I started with HIIT.

People are going to keep telling me that "calories in = calories out", or that "weight loss happens in the kitchen", and I'll keep not believing them. HIIT is the most effective level I have for raising my metabolism without a corresponding increase to my appetite.
Stashes seem very mysterious to many people. They're one of the most sensible parts of git IMHO. They're just a stack of changes to your files.

This means absolutely nothing

In fact I'd say that that most people fail at fitness because they try to go for meaningless advice like "sweating for an hour"

> The real truth is music should really only cost about 50 cents or less per song to download

How is that a "real truth"?! Surely it "should" cost whatever a musician wants to charge for it. (Musician here)

If you'd said "In my opinion", well, that's better, but I'd disagree with your opinion. I just put out an album with 6 songs on it. I spent pretty much a year working on it. It "should really only cost" $3 or less?

On-topic: thanks for this story, I'd heard there was a "recording ban" in the early 40s but knew nothing more about it.

>>is it really necessary to micro optimize exercise to this extent?

Not sure much for a beginner, but even for advanced beginners yes.

The heart is very hard to optimize machine. More it gets efficient, the harder it is to make it more efficient. Hence every last bit of detail counts.

You will be surprised how hard it is to proceed to make the heart efficient by a linear scale.
I don’t think spinning around useless cryptocurrency into derivatives is a value add to anybody. Most DAOs end up spoiled by whales and are supposedly democratic, but more like oligarhic in practice, with even less transparency than non-crypto organizations.

No, because you often have to make changes to the file to get it to compile after loving to a new location. It's much more annoying to review history with changes that can't possibly compile.

beige because HP and Olivetti. Arguably, Olivetti and CI/Honeywell Bull. Mainly Olivetti and Milan design houses.

Didn't IBM golfballs come in a range of colours? My memory is you could select from a palette.

All of this office aesthetic design predates the window in time this talks about. The skandi design palette was similar, beige was a warm neutral tone which didn't clash. IBM blue was nice but very dry.

Basically, office equipment had been gunmetal, or jappanned black steel for ages before and during the war. Beige was a pretty radical cool colour, if you were used to a gestatner machine or a brunsviga in black.

My now broken teletype asr33 was beige.
I'm speculating that risk aversion is a pretty basic trait, and linked to your sensitivity to certain brain chemistry.

I have a low sensitivity to adrenaline, I need extreme stimuli to feel a "rush" in my stomach.. But like anyone, a good adrenaline rush once in a while is great..
Someone might get that from playing a computer game or watching a horror movie.. or trading stock..
I need to drive a race bike around a track at high speed, or downhill mountainbike or bungee jump or parachute.. When I get back from such a thing, I'm so happy, because I felt "that thing", and then I start reflecting on the risk.. "I'm not doing that again, it went ok this time but what about the next.." months later, I'm planning to do it again, because I do need to feel sometimes sometime.

I'm jealous of people who can get this from watching a horror movie, luxury to have it available, safe in your living room, as much as you want..

You might engage in some risk taking more often to desensitize yourself, even if low risk, but real risk, and it should be risk you actually take, not just simulate.. Just be aware that it's not damaging you too much. I'd not recommend gambling (or stock), because it could devastate you financially.

The real risk of computer games (which I do love) is bad health and obesity.. I don't believe you can become less risk-averse by doing entirely risk-free activities.

Try something like skiing/snowboarding/mountainbiking. These are still relatively safe activities, you have good control over the amount of risk on a per-second basis. Do it often, push your limits.

I'm no CUDA expert but from what I recall you do need to use different types of memory to write efficient code, or your code might end up being very slow.

And then you have different card models, some share RAM, some don't. Some can process AND transfer data, some can't. Some can transfer only one way while processing. All of this must be accounted while programming.

Wolfgang learns just enough about a topic to make poorly reasoned statements about topics he doesn't understand that use some of the correct words.

He says for instance that he quit using tiling window managers because among other things because of the grossly overstated time required to configure screen locker and volume keys and such. However since he seems to have already sunk that 30 whole minutes there is no savings involved.

He explicates reasonably well the argument for a keyboard centric workflow then casually dismisses it by asserting without argument that users endure the great burden of learning scads if keyboard shortcuts for what he asserts is no benefit after he himself articulates the benefit. How hard is it to understand shortcuts per the name are quick ways to perform an operation? He mentions web browsers as if they were some great counter argument to keyboard shortcuts. Yes it's ok if you both pick up the mouse to click something and use shortcuts too.

He says that GUI apps work poorly with tiling window managers because they will be forced to a suboptimal size.

Nobody is making you open 7 apps on your 12" screen. Nothing about tiling window managers keeps you from giving a particular app up to an entire monitor.

This doesn't require writing rules for every app or manually resizing or indeed anything else but switching workspaces.

If you want 1 window alone on one workspace and 3 on the other do you know what complex operation is required?

You open 1 window switch to the second workspace and then open the other 3.

He claims that you won't be able to employ keyboard shortcuts without resolving conflicts as this was a great unsolved problem. Most shortcuts aren't global and application specific shortcuts just can't conflict by nature.

The traditional method for binding non conflicting shortcuts for actually global things like your wm is to bind windows key + foo to global things whereas applications get control shift alt + everything else.

It's so weird to watch him thinking he's being clever and knowledgeable when he's completely talking out of his rear.

If you like me watched the whole thing you know less than you started out knowing if you took him seriously.

The checkout command is severely overloaded; I'd hardly remember the functions if it wasn't for aliases.

The reset operations are also very inconvenient, due to the mix of: different types of reset (soft/hard); overlapping with the checkout command; different states of the files.

Pushing is also overloaded, due to handling both branches and tags (this is probably due to the fact that both have refs).

There are strange warts (e.g. adding with --patch doesn't include files not in the index; displaying the content a given stash entry requires typing the whole - unnecessarily complex - entry name), which I don't doubt make sense technically, but from a user perspective, they're odd.

There's probably a lot of stuff that one can find, depending on how wide their usage is. For example, I actually didn't realize how convenient patched (--patch) unstaging would be, since I typically perform a reset, then add (--patch) again.

I've personally never got past the feeeling that, not frequently but still with some frequence, git operations have a byzantine UX.

edit: find the merge commit of a given commit is something also very missed; it requires a non-trivial alias.

> Every time I use Git, I see how bad the UX is and marvel at how it ever became popular.

It's a tool aimed at technical people, which at the time it was launched offered features and technical possibilities which was unmatched by most other popular source-control systems at the time.

I remember going from Microsoft's Team Foundation Version Control to Git, and everything just felt miles more flexible and capable.

Especially branching was enormously limited with Microsoft's offer, while Git literally allowed me to merge anything I wanted, across any base, and usually end up where I wanted to be.

In short: Git solved real world problems in a way which more than compensated for its somewhat clunky UX.
