I can recommend the app ColdTurkey, if you use Mac or Windows. You can block sites permanently, in blocks or give yourself an allowance.

It’s a lot tougher than /etc/hosts: Disabling it during a locked block is very hard. That’s perfect for me.

I permanently blocked all news sites and gave me an allowance for HN.

There are also extensions that remove the recommended feed from Reddit, so you can still interact with pages found from search, but can’t discover new content once on Reddit. That greatly reduces my time spent there.
I am not a front end developer, but when reading about these kinds of switches in front end frameworks... isn't that an incredible amount of work? How could it be justified? It must have created some really serious unsolvable problems in order to switch right? You would think it would be easier to improve the existing one instead of switching, but who knows. Either that or the amount of front end code really isn't as much as I imagine.
I'm kind of in between. My main phone is an old feature phone, and I've never had a smartphone as my main personal phone. I still own a smartphone but I don't usually have an active subscription for it, so it's mostly only connected to wifi at home or the office.

The smartphone is useful for banking, WhatsApp (some of my social circle use it for planning stuff), some MFA uses, some rather occasional use of maps or positioning, and some occasional other purposes such as public transport apps. I've never really wanted one as my main phone that I'd always keep at hand.

I've had smartphones for work, of course, but I've kept personal and work devices separate.

I'm not particularly active socially, and I feel I have little need for most social media. I would probably be missing out if I couldn't use the same messaging apps my social circle uses. Other than that, I mostly keep everyday contacts by phone or SMS.

Paul's the top contributor to Redbean. He's always believed in and supported the project, even while I was on my SectorLISP hiatus. He's an artist with APIs and I couldn't have designed the Redbean UNIX module as well as I did without his help. It's very welcome to see his ZeroBrane IDE being used to debug Redbean. It's a multiplatform IDE but if you run it on Windows, I like how it has the classic vibe of legendary tools like Borland Delphi or Visual Basic 6. It fills a similar niche as SerenityOS in that sense.

A little bit dubious about the last one, it doesn't seem like a straightforward progression to me. But the first 2 for sure.
Cost-of-living comparisons get complex, but I can give you my personal opinion.

Let's assume SF vs Tokyo.

To live the same lifestyle and have the same amount of disposable income as someone earning $170-230k in SF, you'd need to earn ¥12-18M or so in Tokyo.

You can live in a nice apartment in the center of Tokyo and still save a lot of money as a single person earning ¥12M a year.

Also the yen is super weak against the dollar right now (historically so). So converting to dollars doesn't give an accurate value imo. As long as you earn and spend yen, what matters is purchasing power parity. Not the exchange rate.

To me, living in Japan, ¥9M still "feels" roughly like $90k despite the exchange rate.

It could be done, but it might be slow.
My first thought from the title was that this result is in the Blum-Shub-Smale computational model rather than the traditional Turing machine model. In the BSS model, arithmetic operations on exact real numbers are done in constant time. That is useful for analyzing numerical algorithms where you are more interested in e.g. convergence speed than things like roundoff errors. But the exact real arithmetic in constant time is equivalent to doing infinite-precision integer arithmetic in constant time. A couple of people already have mentioned the latter as an assumption of the paper as if that were a big error, but in the BSS model it is part of the deal. Thus the BSS model gives speedups for some problem classes and it's not a big surprise that P=NP there.

I didn't realize P vs NP was supposed to be an open problem in the BSS model. I thught that this solution was an early result. The catch is simply that it doesn't apply to the Turing machine model which is what most people think of when they hear of P vs NP.

There is a wonderful and mathematically accessible book from the 1990s about the BSS model: Complexity and Real Computation, by Lenore Blum, Felipe Cucker, Michael Shub, and Steve Smale. I thought it was going to open up into a big field, but I don't know if much happened with it.

Carrefour had lower retail market share than Walmart. It also sold 80% of its Chinese operations in 2019.

Your question seems to stem from the belief that discrimination is illegal, which it is not. Discrimination is completely legal, including in hiring practices, as long as you're not discriminating against a protected class (either directly or by proxy). That's why the classes are explicitly enumerated, because if it's not in that list you can discriminate based on it.

If you want to open a shop and put a sign out that says "No customers with blue eyes permitted" you're completely within your right to do so. But let's say you discriminated against some other form of eyes, that maybe disproportionately affected groups of a particular race or national origin, that would be illegal.

Hi,

LocalStack is great tool but the difference here is that MerLoc runs your function in local against real cloud services with the same credentials of your real AWS Lambda function. So there is no AWS service simulation, mocking or local implementation here.
> Updates seem to break for odd reasons. I had to uninstall nodejs to be able to do a system update. Why? There should be some sort of automated way to address this.

That usually happens when a package depends on a specific version of a dependency, with e newer (major) version in the repo.

It should only be an issue if you're using AUR packages or other package management systems. Official packages are updated for new dependencies afaik.
That's ok. I'm not trying to track everyone. If a someone wants to opt out, that should be respected. I'm trying to build utility while respecting visitors' privacy. There are certainly tradeoffs, but I'm comfortable making them.
I sanction a brief window of time for the socials at night. I wear special 'computer glasses' that block blue light, and turn the brightness down on the device too.

Recently I've read an article about plane leasing, and it left me realizing that air-companies lease planes from such companies (one of biggest ones are Ireland) rather than buying them.

"Aircraft Leasing Ireland (ALI), members of which include SMBC Aviation Capital, Avolon, Aircastle and AerCap Holdings, which is the world’s biggest aircraft leasing company, said that all of its members have complied fully with the sanctions."

Morally, it may be obvious to us that that's how it should be, but the law doesn't work like that. The law runs on precedents. Taken another way, the law is like code. The "architects" of the code are the legislature who write the laws, and the "programmers" are the judges, who decide exactly what goes in the if-else conditions, based on their interpretation of the law, and those become precedents the next time someone revisits that condition.

The U.S. law on the matter doesn't explicitly mention caste. There are constitutional originalists who take a very "conservative" approach to applying the law, and they might say it isn't illegal until the law is changed to explicitly forbid caste discrimination. When I was growing up, I knew some conservative Indians who would've taken that stance.

The Cisco discrimination suit is the first test of the law, and is likely setting the first precedent. Apple has decided its position (make of that what you will), and chosen to get ahead of the game.
Layout shift feels fairly terrible when you're navigating to an element that is at the bottom of the page (via #id) or simply refreshing the page.

Not sure if properly highlighted, though the science is uncertain about calorie absorption. In other words, not all food-source calories are equal, further a persons metabolism and their GI tract play a role as well. These additional variables have sparked my interest quite a bit, I'm very interested to learn more if others have more information/links about these variables to calorie intake.

He touches on this idea a lot, but most deeply in Infinite Jest where the parallels between between addiction to media and addiction to drugs is a major theme. In that story people have developed 'Entertainments,' basically video segments. Someone makes an Entertainment so unbelievably good that anyone who watches it is immediately stupefied and has no will to do anything but watch the Entertainment over and over. This Entertainment becomes a potent terrorist weapon since it can essentially take out anyone to whom it's broadcast.

It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux x86/x64/Arm64

The main target is enterprise software systems and web backends. Asp.Net is a very mature framework for Web APIs and MVC applications.

Entity Framework is a decent ORM solution supporting several popular DBs with tools for code generation and migrations, and LINQ is a complementary query language that is useful for in-memory collection operations as well as db queries.

And I think the largest value is in the NuGet software library ecosystem, things like MassTransit for service bus and queue communication and many many others.

It’s a well-supported ecosystem of first party and third party software with a lot of modern features, but definitely still in the realm of managed runtimes so not a competitor to C, Rust, etc.

I'm a happy user of another rolling release distribution: Debian testing. It's on my desktop and a laptop for a decade (even more for the desktop since I transferred the OS from my previous desktop pc).

I can't remember any problem during the upgrades of the recent years. I often apply partial updates through `aptitude` on a weekly basis, and full upgrades once in a while (maybe monthly). There were some rough times long ago, but I think it was related to the transition from initrc to systemd: for a major change like this, it's would be surprising if a testing release was perfect.

I don't think I ever had problems as acute as having no Xorg or alsa. If several occurrences of this kind had occurred, I would call my OS unstable.
TL;DR:

* React Native caused problems for AirBnB because they needed more complete and efficient support for native geolocation/mapping features than RN provides

* More generally, frameworks like RN and Flutter are a good choice if your app doesn't need extensive/precise/efficient access to native platform features and a bad choice if it does

I've spent most of my career in Java and there are certainly some things that C# (I know, somewhat tangential to .NET at this point, but still relevant) does better. E.g. if I want to use declarative style to describe something I want out of a data structure, I'd much rather use LINQ than Streams.
Hi,

Current version of MerLoc is similar to SST except some minor details.

The biggest difference so far is that you can use MerLoc with any deployment tool like AWS CDK, AWS CloudFormation, AWS SAM, Serverless Framework, SST, Terraform, etc ...

And we are also working on an improvement which will let you use the same network with the remote function on your local.
The 25k is not the problem, having to spend 3000€ on setting up the GmbH is.
I was like you before. You need to stop finding software solutions with your problems. Productivity blogs/fads/tools come and go. You need "discipline." That's all.

Productivity is temporary, discipline is forever.
>my experience doesn’t match the common notion that Arch Linux is unstable

Arch is unstable, as in, package versions constantly change and can (will) introduce bugs and regressions. Debian is considered stable because apart from security updates package versions are set in stone til the next release, so there won't be any surprises.

This is stable/unstable difference, that doesn't mean that you can't break your OS and have to reinstall in either Debian or Arch.
no haha I get the point but it's just another example I see someone over engineering a problem where it should be declarative. In what use case would you dynamically provision some arbitrary n number of volumes without knowing the path names to them? for volumes why wouldn't you just use "volume_name:/some/path" ... "another_volume:/another/path" and let docker manage the volume for you? you're going to end up writing in a different file "/some/path,/another/path" so why not just put it in the compose file?Also why wouldn't you just mount the root path and put n paths inside of them instead of making them all volumes? I'm struggling to see that you're use case actually needs such a feature and you're solving a problem for something that's actually broken somewhere else. you're adding some virtual layer that's making things harder to manage or understand because you don't understand all the features of docker compose technology instead of fixing the root of the issue. I'm not convinced that you're "feature" is necessary.
Some people are talking on matrix about how to fix it (i.e. how to go fully p2p)
It looks like “fast_page” is performing two completely separate queries, the first just retuning the id, the second retuning the full row for each id. Then doing the join with Ruby, having to do two full round trips to the db.

The referenced “Deferred join technique” however does a single query using an inner join to achieve the same result.

So, if I’m reading this right, “fast_page” could be made even faster by doing an inner join instead, removing the additional query. I’m not sure why they wouldn’t have done that? It would also ensure both queries were run in the same transaction so you don’t experience race conditions. I’m not a rail dev so maybe that’s a given within a request/response process.

As someone else said, I’m surprised the query planner doesn’t account for this already.

These “deferred joins” where you join in your application code are useful for n+1 type issues. The Django orm has a .prefetch_related method [0] enabling you to optimise down to a single additional query where you would have had a secondary query for each row.

The statement was not a diatribe as it was neither forceful nor an attack, but I see that you perceive it as such and hence recommend re-reading it under a steelman approach.

1. My statement points out to another population that still has class-based bigotry from prior conquests and migration

2. If you note, you brought invasion into the conversation after my initial comment which neither supported nor refuted AIT, AMT, or other migration theories. I really don't care which theory people believe, because, ultimately, however history unfolded, it's today's Markovian state of the world that holds highest weight.
