$7k doesn't sound like a fairytale, it sounds like a pretty standard ballpark for a logo and custom hero graphic, a discussion about order of homepage sections, and a cart flow with a radio button to select a product from. Easy to spend more time revising it, but that's a situation where the client should feel they're the one spending that budget. The fairytale is doing it with a $46 template and a $7 logo, but even those can have happy endings when the sought-after design is uncomplicated...

And whilst I'm sure there are complex apps and huge sites which are horrendously sensitive to untangling Bootstrap especially where pixel perfect preservation is required, we're talking about implementing three brand new pages of standard layouts plus a handful more black-on-white text pages with existing standard layouts and the new header, font and button carried over. Implementing that in 38 hours is not fast work.
> Every Noise at Once is an ongoing attempt at an algorithmically-generated, readability-adjusted scatter-plot of the musical genre-space, based on data tracked and analyzed for 5,913 genre-shaped distinctions by Spotify as of 2022-07-18. The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier.
>> for certain people with bad joints or other related issues cycling or swimming might be better choices

> Even rope jumping is considered much better than jogging since the force is always distributed across both legs at the same time.

If your joints are bad enough, you have to specifically avoid impact. Rope jumping is slightly less bad than running but still one impact after the other.

Cycling and swimming require cyclical motions that you can perform without having to sustain impacts.

Speaking from close personal experience here (my SO), rope jumping is actually what caused the joint problems. She can't do running or rope jumping anymore. Swimming and cycling are no problem though.

All this just to back up GPs claim that swimming and cycling are great alternatives to running if you have bad joints. As parent said, rope jumping is indeed slightly better than running, but still not a great alternative due to impacting motion.

One more thing: not a doctor.
Same. I generated several thousand images and found it a chore, outside of the daily theme on the discord server, to try and even think of anything to query. It was also discouraging when sometimes you'd hit pure gold for 4-5 of the 6 images, then you'd be lucky to get 1 out of the 6 that was worth saving for several more queries. Now it's down to 4 images and... yeah...

I'm not going to try and profit from the images, I don't need them for any business uses or anything, so to me it was a fun for a while and now just something I'll largely put out of mind.
Yeah tinypilot looks nice but they want money for every little thing even when you self-build. Seriously who doesn't want password authentication on their KVM? This is just a base requirement IMO.

For an out of the box product maybe but when I chose to self build its at least in part to avoid costs. And for €350 a port you can buy a real AAA-brand KVM not to mention the yearly charge ($80) that most KVMs don't have.

I wonder how many people spend this much money on it. But perhaps I'm not the target audience. I want KVMs for my home lab and $350 is something I'd spend on a full server, not a peripheral. But perhaps this is also a sign of standards of living in the US and Europe diverging. When I hear of senior devs making $250k per year when here they would make $50k, it's a big difference that will obviously make $350 a lot less expensive.

But I would imagine that once you get into real businesses with money they would prefer real AAA-brand boxes and not a raspberry pi with a custom HAT in a 3D printed box :)

I did buy a CSI board to try out pikvm. Hope it works well.
Wraps absolutely are a short cut in that every lifter can instantly lift more wearing them due to the elastic tension they're able to provide.

I don't think there is much evidence suggesting training squats wrapped would then result in the unwrapped squat being stronger for an elite lifter. I'd actually be concerned that the technical changes and also the different strength curve for a wrapped squat might throw off someone's regular squat.
Somehow I have another view on the matter, specially on the chaos that happened with sharing computers among family members during early COVID times.
Great point!

That means when you sign a transaction with multiple RFC-6979 compliant wallets, they should return the exact same signature.

So it is possible to tackle the "phone home via the signature" problem.

Wow, just wow! Two threads, 144 comments and we have a complete turn of the situation again!

Are you saying that you believe more lives were saved due to reduced pollution than were saved due to keeping the pandemic restrained? I find that very hard to believe, considering the massive excess deaths that would result from overloaded hospitals, if the pandemic were allowed to rage on unstopped.
Symlinks work as intended, but they cause a lot of unintended security vulnerabilities, i.e. they break lots of otherwise-functioning code.

You can play with your words and redefine their meanings, but the vulnerabilities remain.
I suspect The Spreadsheet Mentality (when it comes to people management) is reinforced by the radical blank-slate/egalitarian civil rights law and enforcement culture relating to employment in the US. There are many legal landmines around Officially Noticing and Considering various differences between individuals, so thinking of people as interchangeable cogs is the most legally defensible approach.
Software Is Eating the World (2011)

Even that’s uneven in my experience. Cheap ‘bulk’ meat isn’t up much, but ‘fancy’ meat (local, organic, grass fed etc.) is up over 30% where I am. Although I suspect that is at least partially due to “price gouging” the more price insensitive customers that buy that sort of product
I've seen your exact same argument made by people who believe the BAC limit should be abolished and it's just as disingenuous to engage with there as it is when applied to seatbelt laws.

A family that refuses to wear seatbelts and doesn't buckle in their children is an individual choice as well in your world, but the end result can be killing someone that didn't have a choice in the first place. And your argument around seatbelt laws seems to assume that the driver is the one at fault, not the one being rear ended or involved in an accident outside of their control resulting in them being ejected from their vehicle.

No AI needed so. If, e.g. NHS, wants to make sure wait times and time to get an appointment improve you can monitor, e.g, wait times in practices (assuming you check in patients when they arrive), monitor when appointments are booked and when they happen... Then, if times are considered to be too long, you do a proper root cause analysis, check your processes, adjust exectations.

Just because people are usually unable to do all that, doesn't mean the spreadsheet is at fault or you need AI.
What's the missing detail here?

There are a bunch of authorities that proof you're a human already. They give you passport and the like. There is nothing prohibiting them from giving you a verifiable credential in addition of a passport.

Also, there are services that proof your humanity all over the internet. Letting them give out verifiable credentials and asking Glassdoor to accept them as trusted credential issuer is the easy part here.

Glassdoor can either check the signature of such a credential or, in the ZKP case, you proof them that you have such a credential without revealing it.
Show HN: Pontoon, one to one meeting tracker
Hey HN,

Very longtime lurker who finally has something to share!

Over the last couple of years I've found it pretty difficult to organise one to ones with my colleagues, and when I do get some time with them, the conversation often feels a little unstructured and not as valuable as it could be.

I built Pontoon to try and solve these problems, and maximise the quality of the one to one time I have. I've only just launched (I literally pressed the button yesterday!), and so there's only a few simple features so far:
- Meeting planner
- Actions
- Video meetings
- Calendar sync

There's plenty more in the pipeline but I wanted to open Pontoon up to everyone and start getting some feedback from real users. You can sign up for a 30 day trial with no card details, and if you're enjoying it just ping me an email at rhys@meetpontoon.com telling me you're from HN and I'll add some credit to your account.

Thanks a lot
"Deaths" from the pandemic have zero impact on inflation.

Oil prices are high and have been climbing since a short-term bottom at the the start of the pandemic. Prices since february are not noteworthy.

Fossil fuel production seems to have peaked in 2018 or 2019 last I saw some charts.

Germany and Europe are shutting down coal and nuclear power plants, and this is having big and wide impact. Dependence on russian nat.gas, and thus the war (with gas prices), are just a few of the consequences. European energy price is raising the price of fertilizer, which is raising costs in agriculture, and so on.

But, for all that stimulus money to not cause inflation, world energy production would have had to double or 1.5x or something. But that's impossible.
That's a great project, have bookmarked for later.

I'm in a slightly weird position of having been a professional dev for many years but have big gaps in my computer science academic knowledge I am trying to make up for. Mostly just for personal satisfaction so I don't mind slow progress.

That “X − designed in the 70s when we had no idea of anything regarding computers − is fundamentally broken” isn't so surprising after all.

In fact, computers are probably the only place in the entire technology landscape where we keep using almost unmodified stuff from the 70s and decided we cannot change it because there's too much things relying on it.

I don't like breaking everything all the time more than anyone, but maybe one time every 20 or 30 years is OK…
Yes, actually that would probably happen first here (Slovakia) as well. And then if you continue to not pay, they remove the car from the registry and take the plates back.

Unfortunately, the previously incorrect usage won and it doesn't mean that anymore, according to major dictionaries: "kill, destroy, or remove _a large proportion of_" is given as the first definition in the Oxford dictionary used by Google. ("Unfortunately" is, of course, for people who have the original meaning activated because of how the word looks and/or know the historical context and feel the tension with the contextual meaning.)
Surely the redeeming thing about the new design is that it led to 40% higher sales?

By the only metric that matters this design is significantly better than “perfect”.
Ask HN: How to keep water-obsessed autistic child from wasting water?
I have a child with autism, who has developed a fascination with the bath and running the water. If we stop him he of course has a meltdown, so what I am looking for is a method for controlling the water easily from another point than the faucet. I guess a plumber can set me up something like that, but I also wanted to see if anyone had suggestions. Also was wondering if anyone had suggestions for setting up a recycled tub, that is to say the water can be set to run back after running out, so that it does not cost excessive amounts.

I am an academic mathematician, who (like most) is an expert in a sub-subfield in my discipline. Outside my specialty I certainly have some knowledge, but I usually can't distinguish a major breakthrough from incremental progress.

Meanwhile, I've been asked to evaluate hundreds of other mathematicians, on hiring committees and grant panels. Most of the applications are in specialities bordering mine, but not squarely in my area of expertise. Usually I can get a sense of what they've accomplished, but in most cases I can't reliably evaluate its depth or importance.

Unfortunately, external markers of quality are needed.
It's never "all these automated license plate readers, phone and internet metadata harvesting, countless surveillance cameras on public property, surveillance drones [1], and facial, voice, and gait recognition are making our job so much easier, we can allow people to keep the tiny scrap of privacy they have left", is it?

They won't stop until every room in every home has mandatory cameras installed.

Being able to incrementally rebalance a tree and keep the set of deltas small each time is really powerful when you are dealing with append only IO abstractions.

My field (theoretical physics) has the opposite problem. Almost all tools support only Linux but university infrastructure and incoming students are Linux-illiterate. A Linux strategy would greatly improve the quality of education.
> HR cannot be the only shepherds of “the people track,” or else it will just get ignored.

Herein lies the fundamental crux. The CISO cannot be the only shepherd of security, or else security will just get ignored. QA, Product, UX, Finance, Legal, cannot be the only shepherds of their domains, or else they will just get ignored.

The fact is that you will not find perfect candidates, where "perfect" means "well-versed in every corporate sub-field." That's not reasonable. What you can do is hire people with the humility to a) understand what they are not good at, b) actively invite the participation of those who are good at it, c) value, utilize, and celebrate their contributions. That's not an HR skill, that's a soft skill.
Absolutely, the entire GN crew are very good at what they do. I just think that they aren't necessarily better than LTT just because they appear to take pc gaming component business very seriously.

Rope (or Cord)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_(data_structure)
There is a way, but it requires 7+16=23 sense wires on the input side. The MCU is acting as the multiplexer. Representing the information about the pressed key is more compact than physically sensing and discriminating which key was pressed.
What about one of those water features you can get for your backyard? They come in a variety of styles, including sort of a standing sculpture/set of bowls. You just need to plug it in with an extension cord.

I'm still personally quite salty at the fact that anything I learned in School to do with Computers (in the 90s and 00's) was Microsoft based.

I had a strong affinity for computers from an early age, but all education was focused on Microsoft Access, Excel, Outlook, Word and Powerpoint

If you could get any programming (only in College) it was Visual Basic 6 or VB.NET (with Access or MSSQL)

There was no curriculum that wasn't a buy in to the microsoft ecosystem, even at the advanced levels.

This is surely amazing for microsoft, entire generations of people trained exclusively on their platform.
Ask HN: Google moving my account out of Europe
I just received this notice from Google

"We associate your Google Account with a country (or region) so that we can better provide our services to you. This association is used to determine two things:

The Google company that provides the services, processes your information and is responsible for complying with applicable privacy laws
The version of the Terms of Service that governs our relationship, which can vary depending on local laws

Your country association will change within 30 days:

from XXX
to YYY

"

where XXX is a country in europe, and YYY is not (is where I often go in vacation)

then

"If the country associated with your account doesn’t match your country of residence, it could be because of a difference between your country of work and residence, because you’ve installed a virtual private network (VPN) to mask your IP address, or because you live close to a territorial border. If you recently moved, it can take about a year for your country association to update. You can find more information about your country association, and a way to request a change if you think that it’s wrong, by reviewing the Google Terms of Service.
Your country association affects the Terms of Service that apply to your use of our services. "

so, basically, I am not protected by EU privacy law, and I cannot reverse it.

Am I the only one?

(btw, I already moved my data out of Google, but I still have an account, almost empty, for some email forwarding)
Me too. The T14s is probably the closest to "classic ThinkPad" that they currently sell.

>> If you try to get better endurance most of your training should be aerobic (instead of anaerobic)

>It's actually the opposite and interval training (mixed aerobic and anaerobic) seems to be more effective.

Wrong and easy to prove that its wrong, just look at a training regiment of any elite runner in any distance. Most coaches agree that 80% percent of your volume should be easy aerobic for any goal. Doing high intensity without a well developed aerobic base means you will hit a plateau with your performance sooner or later.

>Running without shoes (or barefoot-shoes) is probably even better once you have adapted to it.

The Born to Run fad has been over for years now. Consensus is incorporating barefoot running into your training makes little difference to performance except you'll probably injure yourself if you're not careful.

I've been walking in barefoot shoes for 2 years now and I've gotten tremendous benefits, but running serious mileage in them is a completely different story. Unless you want to get better at barefoot running, it's not useful.

Again, if it was useful at all you would be seeing professional athletes doing it. The most they do is some barefoot strides on the grass by the track.
