That’s crazy. I can’t even fathom that, given that here in Australia tap to pay was almost universally supported before Apple Pay was even announced, an now swiping your card has been phased out for years, because literally everywhere has supported contactless and chip+pin for so long. So you can pay with ApplePay basically everywhere. You even see buskers now with Square readers!
> he looks really good for his age

That's anectodal and also quite subjective. The fact that he uses this as an argument for his studies (I've heard him saying exactly that in interviews) makes it very hard to take him seriously.

> depends if it is due of his lifestyle or not

Most likely genetics. I know plenty of people who look great for their ages whilst eating what Sinclair would probably consider a bad diet (mostly beef and processed meats, with some grains, vegetables and fruits interspersed) and taking no supplements. I'm talking about senior people who appear 10-15 years younger than their ages.

I'm not using these anecdotes to promote not taking supplements or eating that kind of diet. Some of these people are but they're not in the business of selling their lifestyle and are not scientists at all.

Also, looking good for one's age doesn't mean they're not going to die of a heart disease in 5 years time.

That's the point: Ctrl-C shouldn't just gracefully kill the process, it should interrupt the current computation and let you resume your work without exiting the application. The use case here is interactive applications (think a REPL, for example), not commands you run, simply expect an output from and then they just exit (like, say, curl).
If they never break down then how do they react in the bodies to produce any effects?

"Thank you for the suggestion. I have decided not to implement it."
> Anybody with a political motivation can ‘take down’ climate change, vaccines, or even a tound earth.

And this is a good thing because the first two things on that list, given the impact it has on the living style population, must be discussed publicly. Politics exist precisely to address those kind of broad impact topics.

The last and lasting blow done to scientific credibility was precisely about the so-called vaccines. A barely tested medical product based on a tech that never worked previously released by a big company known for corruption was decreed to be "science", all while changing the definition in dictionaries to make it a "vaccine". No discussion on the subject even by experts was tolerated, the big internet companies erased opposition and some governments went as far as stripping basic rights (movement, expression, business) to citizens, all in the name of science.

The fact is, this isn't a data-based or scientific approach at all. It's only power-tripping. A data based-approach would have shown clearly about 3 months in the crisis that the population at large isn't even at risk. Explaining to the population the risk ventilated by age would have been 100 times more scientific than the fear-mongering broadcasted continually on TV. Science needs to be used as a justification carefully, and using it dogmatically for pushing something that was ironically not even scientifically proven to be effective nor without risks (I'm pretty sure the newspapers in my country never reported the thousand or so dead directly imputable to it) is the exact opposite.
On the flip side, people need to be okay with "No."
As a user of "Hacker" News, you are potentially .... a hacker, who is quite likely to care if it is possible to hack on it in general (hence it matters that its open source) and you also likely care if it is easy for you to hack on it in particular (hence the implementation and plugin languages matter too).
If you have no special requirement in mind, the Pentel lead that is available practically everywhere is nothing to sneeze at. I probably use more of Pentel than anything else. The benefit in choosing other brands mainly comes when you want a particular effect or want to optimize for a particular situation.

For example, Pentel leads run a bit harder than other Japanese brands. This makes them a bit more brittle. For a 0.3 mm pencil without a sliding sleeve to support the extended lead, I would choose a Pilot or Mitsubishi lead to reduce breakage.

Sometimes you want to make really bold and dark lines, so you go for a 0.7 or 0.9 mm with the darkest lead you can find. Those sizes are only made as soft as 2B, but the Pilot Neox Graphite 0.7 & 0.9 mm 2B is actually more like a 4B. It's the darkest lead currently on the market in those sizes. (I have some long-discontinued 6B that I use sparingly.)

When I'm writing on index cards, I usually want a harder than usual lead, writing with a sharp edge to make clean lines that won't smudge. I like Faber-Castell HB in 0.9 mm for this because their harder leads don't feel as gritty as other brands.

I have a variety of other graphite leads that I use for specific situations.

Getting into color, for its variety of hues, the Mitsubishi Uni Nano Dia Color in 0.7 mm is usually my first choice. It makes bolder lines than the same brand in 0.5 mm, because the greater thickness allows a lower percentage of structural polymer in the mix.

A big problem with the Nano Dia, though, is that it's not lightfast. Most of the colors will fade away after a month on the bulletin board. The most lightfast colored lead is the Staedtler 0.5 mm in red/green/blue. It is extremely brittle, though, so you need to use it with a sliding-sleeve pencil like the Pentel Orenz. (https://www.jetpens.com/Pentel-Orenz-Mechanical-Pencil-0.5-m...)

Aside from situation, people have different preferences in how the tip feels on the paper. Pentel feels rather slick, Pilot has a more chalky feel, and Mitsubishi to me feels rather gritty. I like a chalky feel when writing on really smooth paper and doing math, but the slicker Pentel suits me better when writing longhand on cheap office paper.
How does one even get contacts to consider this (in a safe manner)?

One thought about this and I'd actually consider myself fairly in tune and at peace with my inner self already, so I'd be curious to see how it could help me deal with some of my ruts I get in from time to time.

If only the US had something as convenient and normal as SEPA Push, which recently-ish got extended with SEPA Instant (takes ~10 seconds for the payment to go through/finalize; charge backs are not a thing (unless the bank messed up)).

And even normal SEPA Push doesn't have money-claw-back, the charge back process for that after the money has reached the recipient (usually next bank day) starts with asking for the money back and escalates into a lawsuit if the recipient doesn't give in.

It's best to pretend that RIGHT JOIN doesn't exist, imnsho.

For one thing, in SQLite, it doesn't. Which is a weak argument for not using it on supported systems. The other weak argument is that a RIGHT JOIN is just the b, a version of a LEFT JOIN a, b.

When you add them up it's an extra concept, SQL execution flow is already somewhat unintuitive, and a policy of using one of the two ways of saying "everything from a and matches from b" makes for a more consistent codebase.

I would hope a blue-sky relational query language wouldn't support two syntaxes for an operation which is non-commutative, when order is important it can and should be indicted by order.

> This evidence is actually the creation of historians in the past century...

Academic history tends to refer to primary sources. It is true that what survives in the archive is a curated collection, but curating the archive is not the same as doing history and should be thought of differently.

Historians have absolutely no trouble with the idea that the archive can produce multiple narratives and that no narrative is the absolute truth. A lot of people from engineering and scientific backgrounds find this to be some huge blow to the field of history but really it is basic material covered in intro classes. I find it frustrating to see so many people with no or minimal background in anything resembling the discipline making wide proclamations about the limitations of history writing. We don't tend to rely on what seems plausible to untrained people.
That does not seem to be the threat model for 2FA though
The generous reading, which I'm inclined to, is that it's illustrating OLAP techniques which one would actually apply to a relational database of high normalization.

It's tedious to construct an example database of, say, fifth normal form, which would show the actual utility of this kind of technique. So we're left with a highly detailed query, with some redundancies which wouldn't be redundant with more tables.

I disagree. It's easy to choose this as a position if you intend to argue disingenuously, and therefore you always ensure that your argument positions are logically sound, and complex and abstract enough so as to exclude most others from being able to argue back. On the other hand, if you are steel manning the other person's argument, instead of playing a complex word definition game that invalidates what they've said on account that they haven't explicitly defined for you all of the axioms of their position, (and if they did you can attack their argument with a different set of nit picking fallacies such as "too long didn't read"), you would probably find their argument compelling, or at the very least you would be forced to reveal the true reason you disagree with them. It's much easier to attack somebody else's argument for using the wrong language than it is to present your own position.
Well, I agree there is no planned things & that I am just connecting random dots.

Fair enough, but at some point it is worth asking if their longevity is on their best interest and not on yours. Many old people just want to die since they are not able to take care of themselves, and want to go away with dignity. Their descendants sometimes insist on keeping them chugging along as a weird kind of pet. That is weird and wrong. Just let them go, we are all going the same way anyway.
I would say: "Feel free to open a PR with the proposed changes".

Because if they want the thing that bad... come to the table with an example. Then you can still reject that. It's not like you're forced to add something to your code you don't want. They can fork the code if they need that so desperately.

How to compute with a computer that doesn't compute
The quotation is from a well known paper in the field cited over 100 times according to google scholar: https://doi.org/10.1111/joim.12251

It was an observational study of 30k women over two decades, so very good statistical power.

> As compared to the highest sun exposure group, the mortality rate was doubled (2.0, 95% CI 1.6–2.5) amongst avoiders of sun exposure and increased by 40% (1.4, 95% CI 1.1– 1.7) in those with moderate exposure. We found that the assumption of proportional hazards seemed reasonable.

So at least among Swedish middle aged women, you are twice as likely to die if you avoid the sun, vs. if you are exposed more to the sun, controlling for factors like income, education, smoking, BMI, and exercise.

It was not a RCT, but then almost no studies of all cause mortality are.

A smaller case study of 500 melanoma patients (https://doi.org/10.1093/jnci/dji019) also found that "sun exposure is associated with increased survival from melanoma."

I think sudden and extreme sun exposure, i.e. "staying in an office all year and then going on the beach for 9h on vacation" definitely requires sunscreen, but consistent and moderate sun exposure at a rate that your body can tan and adjust to is probably a net positive for everything from circadian effects to mood and mortality, even accounting for skin cancer risk.
I have to deal with that frequently and would say, it really depends what you want.

Do you think the issue is useful but you don't want to implement it? Keep the feature request open and say you're open to contributions (or maybe getting paid to implement it).

Do you think it's out of scope and shouldn't get implemented? Say that, close the issue and lock it if people keep discussing.

I can also recommend creating response templates for these things. Be clear and assertive, back and forth wastes everyones time and just leads to more frustration on both sides.

Totally feel you on the desire to help your parents take better care of themselves. Both my parents are much further along the aging process than they ought to be; my dad is 67 and in a memory unit. My mom is in bad shape as well.

The main thing I’ve found from trying to help them be healthier: trying to change other people is generally a recipe for increasing your own stress without accomplishing much else.

Instead of trying to change them, I’ve been focusing on trying to enjoy what time I have left with them. It’s bittersweet for sure, but I’m finding that knowing where this is all going accentuates the sweetness of being able to love my parents while they are still around.

Best of luck to you and yours.

This has a lot to do with a simplistic (and wrong) projection of the modern concept of patriotism/nationalism to medieval history.

Jogaila did what was good for his dynasty and himself personally, that's it. As an aristocrate he couldn't get a better deal.

Back then there was no concept of nations and nation-states, which only evolved a couple of centuries later. An aristrocrate inherited lands and a relatively week tie to his patron. No "nation" in the power equation. They could and did switch sides a lot, especially if that meant extra subordinates and a higher aristocracy rank.

Sadly, state-sponsored school textbooks always kind of skip this simple fact.
