• 68% of the total landmass is in the northern hemisphere

• 87% of the total population is in the northern hemisphere

Not surprisingly, the really chaotic wars and such things seem to be happening in the north.

So objectively speaking the southern hemisphere might not be so bad :)

Of course, I have absolutely no doubt Norway and surrounding countries are all generally peaceful good developed places.

But which rules? While Islam does have certain leeway for certain things to be left to society to decide, not everything is. You will not find any Muslim who will make it an offense to celebrate Eid for example.

Anyone who works for a FAANG couldn't have their taxes done automatically - the IRS doesn't know the cost basis of your share compensation. Same for anyone with crypto trades, or more prosaically anyone who's sold anything at a flea market or garage sale.

Conversely if you buy and sell the same stock with two different brokers and cause wash sales, or do anything with HSA investments in California, TurboTax and any other consumer tax product will not get your taxes right, and it may not even be possible to do them properly by hand, so everyone is doing them wrong and the IRS just isn't noticing.

Good thing ignorance is a defense for taxes.
Uh. No. No one seriously works that way. It would be a mess for anything even vaguely complex. Been doing serious lisp for 40+ years and that mode is okay for testing little things out, or teaching.

Ask HN: As of 2022, which are some of the best MOOCs to get into CS/programming?
I agree with you, it doesn't account for the the imbalance entirely. I said it's the root of it, as in this creates the stereotypes from such a young age.

I think it's a fair assessment based on the stories I hear from my friends and the kids I tutor about what made girls choose certain areas of focus compared to boys. It was even more enlightening hearing about my women friends who ended up not completing a major in stem and especially CS to graduation.

I have to admit it's not a hard quantifiably scientific. I still choose to believe it.

It's not going to be one little thing that will fix gender imbalances, but in my opinion, these kind of practical changes is where you see longer term positive consequences.

I have a brilliant friend, finished a doctorate, nurse practitioner. We talk about our journeys and she still talks about feeling somewhat insecure that her "brain isn't made for math" and I always call her out, she finished some of the most rigorous years of schooling in healthcare and she still doesn't believe she would be good at math. I don't think she has to do math unless she happens to find interest in it, she doesn't have anything left to prove to herself or anyone else. I just feel frustrated as an educator by how rigid that kind of thinking is and how long it follows students through their life.
Boy, I really don't know how he feels about the one-time purchases after all this time, but I've been a user of Pushover for almost 9 of the 10 years it's been available, and I absolutely love it.

Nah, we're fine.

The article stresses that the reason the amount of agricultural land is falling is because we're getting more efficient, allowing marginal land to fall out of use.

There's considerably more forest in the United States than there was a hundred years ago, and the same is true for most First World countries.

The wilderness land that's actually under attack is mostly in Third World countries where they practice "traditional", "organic" agriculture of the sort beloved by urban First World environmentalists.

Yes, it is on the Gen 1, but the Gen 1 has a lot of other deficiencies in the HW that make it not so great as a daily driver today.

The OneMix ones have a capacitive trackpoint that's not as good (-> it works like a tiny trackpad area), but they also have touchscreens.

IMO the newer GPD Win ones are probably the best implementation of mousing on a small devices. You have all the options: A touchscreen, A small trackpad, and A joystick that has a mouse mode which behaves like a trackpoint.

Have heard that many times, but in grad school it was determined orthogonally to any funded/published project, with n>3 subjects of various skin phenotypes, that many super-potent small molecule compounds were not active topically in DMSO even at 100-10000x doses regardless of polarity... Read between the lines of course. Would not trust safety to that observation with any non-fun chemicals but still.

Unrelatedly, microwave assisted reactions in DMSO solvent wete found to have some totally gross failure modes that were a pain to clean up and got banned in the lab

What if the company changes name?
That makes it "not a startup"[0] in a lot of people's eyes. It's just a regular small business, and you're probably going to have to bootstrap, investors aren't interested in that type of company.

There's nothing wrong with having a small business, I'm actually somewhat convinced they generate more user value, and can treat their employees better these days.

[0] many people, myself included, define startup as a company seeking rapid growth, using investor capital to do so and will most likely rapidly die if it can't. Versus any new company under the sun that can be sustainable.
Credit cards are popular because of government regulation, namely that you have better fraud protection on your credit card than your debit card.

If they go away it's because their credit product will be replaced by BNPLs, and transactions with trustworthy stores will move to FedNow to avoid that 3%ish interchange fee.

The cold start problem of a new identity on social media
I have my main social accounts that I started over a decade ago. I don't even remember how I started or how I got my first followers, but I don't remember it being a challenge. I am pretty sure I just shared whatever came to my mind and what I thought is useful for others, and one by one, I gathered thousands of followers. Past 10k, if you post something even remotely interesting, you are almost guaranteed to get enough engagement to attract even more followers, and so it goes.

Punkpeye (https://twitter.com/punkpeye) is an experiment – can I build a new identity from the ground up in a new niche?

I just spent the first day trying to build audience on Twitter. I figured that since now I have 0 followers, I need to curate a list of high-relevance Twitter users and DM them something useful. The goal is to do something together that would allow me to leverage their audience, e.g. write a thread together. I spent a few hours doing it. I got a handful of responses and even a few followers. At least 1 thread will come out of this and hopefully will kick off the growth cycle.

However, not long after I started my first dozen conversations, I got a message from Twitter saying that my messages were being blocked because of suspicious activity. Hopefully, that is a temporary measure until someone manually checks my conversations. Long story short, starting a new social identity is hard because platforms like Twitter effectively penalize you for going above and beyond to build an audience.

It is an interesting experience. I've advised others who are just starting to build their audience many times before. However, I am learning that advice from a decade is not directly transferable to the current times. Growing your audience, especially the first handful of followers is a new game, and it does not look easy. No surprise then that most Twitter users have 0-2 followers.

Somewhat surprising that, at least in the case of Twitter, they throw you into the social network without any rules or suggestions on how to acquire your initial network – I would bet that the success and retention go one-to-one with user ability to attract some audience.

Tomorrow I will try to reply to relevant threads that are gaining traction.
In the above example the user saw they were on an Org A page and clicked Create intending to create an article in Org A, but sometime after they loaded their Org A page their “current tenant” session variable had been switched out from under them by a different tab.

One solution is to always pass the intended org along in the POST, but requires something disciplined and nesting POST /org/A/articles is one way to do that.
Question for the crowd: I read HN often but rarely comment, so I'm curious what I did wrong in my comment to merit the downvotes.

I was initially excited to see someone asking a question about a topic that I had _just_ read a book on (I also discussed the book for a few hours in a book group). It seemed like sharing that was a goodwill thing to do.
So, I generally do it the nested way: organizations/:organizationId/blogs/:blogId

The other post on this thread are accurate, in that normally keeping it simpler is better, but in this case I disagree.

With the nested approach you have the ability to do multiple levels of validation and mitigate a lot of key guessing attacks.

Imagine a different scenario:

facility/:facility_id/provider/:provider_id/patient/:patient_id

Vs

patient/:patient_id

In the first case there are three tokens I'd need to possess or guess in order to access a patient record. In the second, there's just one.

The implementation will still only grab the patient id for the query, but it'll validate that the two other keys are correct as well.

It also makes role scoping easier. I.e. my role grants admin access to all patients in a facility. Middleware to validate the access is a lot easier to implement if you have all those keys in the query string. Declarative permissions on the routes are a lot easier.
Titanium is a common biocompatible implant material, widely considered safe in this context. One of the primary benefits of titanium implants is that that they readily form a TiO2 passivation layer. TiO2 is also common in many topical lotions and sunscreen, where it is considered safe.

TiO2 also has a signficant body of evidence demonstrating that it is a carcinogen when inhaled in particulate form. Just because some compound is safe in one context does NOT mean it is safe in all contexts.

> Do you understand that when you eat PTFE it comes out exactly the same way it went in?

I bet if I asked you to eat shards of glass, they would leave your body pretty close to how they went in :) Whether your body would remain unchanged is another question. While this is an extreme example, there are more subtle ways a compound could interact with the body. For instance, glyphosate has long been considered a safe compound because it "leaves the body the way it comes in." However, recent research has revealed substantial evidence that glyphosate may adversely interact with the human microbiome, which is linked to many various health conditions. This is an active thrust of a lot of new medical research that wasn't strongly considered 20 years ago. It is simply not enough to say the compound remains unchanged, the real question is whether the body is unchanged, and the body is pretty complex and our understanding is very incomplete.

It's not clear which version of the scientific method you subscribe to from your posts, but in general proving a negative is ~really, really~ hard. This list of all possible interactions in the human body with arbitrary chemicals is quite long. The list of things that have been 'proven safe' only to be considered unsafe when studied more carefully is quite long. To suggest that our knowlegde of the safety of ~any~ compound is complete is impossible.
At the risk of being hung, drawn, and quartered on hackernews, I actually agree. This seems like such a fringe idea among the "hacker" culture but I find Windows to be significantly more tolerable than the not-so-organized chaos that is modern Linux. And BSD tends not to focus on the out-of-the-box experience, but more on the "customize it exactly the way you want it", archlinux-y vibe. Which is cool but I'd rather have something that just works. Windows checks all the boxes for me, was free through my university, and if I get tired of Powershell I can use WSL.
Looks very inconvinient

In India, the duopoly is already broken by UPI (Universal Payments Interface). UPI provides zero-cost transfers and mobile payments between linked bank accounts and every little streetcorner store and sidewalk vendor accepts UPI payments. Also 2FA using SMS is required and enabled by default.

You can pay by scanning a QR-code, or a mobile number, or a UPI ID. There's also an effort to allow "scanning" an audio-signal to enable non-smartphone devices.

Hi! I'll try to speak to this a bit. Disclaimer: I work on Cypress.

The main reason there are lots of articles about Playwright is it's newer and solves some issues people have with E2E testing in Cypress (like multi-tab support) and is more idiomatic JS (using async/await instead of how Cypress does it, which is waiting for each `cy` command to finish before running the next one (it queues them up and runs each one sequentially, so await/async isn't required)).

Cypress has also invested heavily in the developer experience; it has a UI that shows all the commands that executed, and lets you do "time travel" debugging, where you can go back and see the state of the test/DOM after each Cypress command ran. From what I can tell, Playwright is more focused being a solid, cross browser automation tool first. I'm not aware of any kind of interface that exists that is similar to Cypress (I haven't kept up; it's possible something similar exists).

As far as the tools go, Cypress has a lot of opinions and recommendations about how best to use the tool; Playwright seems less opinionated. Some people like tools that come with a lot of guide rails; other people prefer to take a tool and use it how they want.

Another thing to consider is target user; a lot of JS engineers who understand async/await well will have no problem with Playwright; some QA engineers I've worked with who don't come from a JS background found the Cypress API more intuitive.

To answer your original question "What are some good reasons to use Cypress over Playwright in a new project" - I think if you value the Cypress interact runner with the snapshots and command log, or if you value the style of test that the Cypress API encourages (take a look at API) it's a good choice. If you prefer a less opinionated tool, or you value certain features Cypress doesn't have (multi-tab, etc) Playwright might be a better fit.
> I believe Amazon also licensed Silmarillion from the Tolkien Estate.

Actually it's worse (or better depending on your pov) than that. Amazon only owns rights to the appendices of LOTR so they are extremely limited with what they can or cannot do.
Man pages were a Un*x thing. GNU wasn't supposed to have bifurcated documentation: its official doc format was (is) texinfo, from which info pages and printed manuals are generated. People kept writing man pages anway, of course. But the proper question is "WHY do we need a separate man page system? Just put the relevant information into the texinfo manual".

Particularly: man pages were fine for PDP-11 Unix utilities, when they were formatted with nroff/troff and the printed versious usually literally fit onto one page (a few of them ran over into two pages). So they don't have any navigation features, TOC's, indices, or whatever. That fails badly when the man page is large: I see rsync's is 4341 lines (72 pages) and bash's is over 100 pages. There are many other large ones as well.

The only way you can find stuff in a large man page is search the text, which is a pain because there is no metadata to distinguish the search hits. Texinfo on the other hand produces navigable hypertext doc and an organized printed manual with an index, TOC, cross-references with page numbers, and so on. So it is a much superior format.
About 40 years ago I boarded my horse with an old cowboy who used DMSO as a horse liniment. He had been using it for years any time one of his mounts was worked pretty hard or when someone brought a lame horse to him. He would rub the joints, calves, and thighs of the horse down good with DMSO for a few days and then they were good to go again.

He also used it on his wife. He told me that she had type I diabetes and neuropathy as a result. Her feet were always cold from poor circulation. That was true until he happened to rub her feet one day after treating a horse. Her feet warmed up in minutes and became normal pink again. After that, he used it on her feet and legs since it improved circulation.

You can say what you will about it being reactive and possibly not good for you but she was able to dance again and get back on her horse so it definitely does have some benefit. They did this for at least 30 years and both of them were past 75 years old when they passed away.

Like another poster said, it is used as a carrier for some medications since it pulls them straight into the bloodstream. I don't think it's magic but I also don't think you'll suffer much using it even with bare hands.

As far as lye is concerned, the sodium hydroxide in this paper, you can easily make that yourself with wood ash and water. It is pretty handy if you are tanning hides since the treatment of a raw hide with lye causes the hair to slip right off leaving a smooth skin ready for the next step.

I was recently tossing up between a ThinkPad x1 nano and a M1 air. Got them both second hand for a steal and had some time to play with them.

If the nano had the battery life of the m1, and didn't sell for 50% more than the m1 was worth, I would have kept it. It just felt like an inviting machine, like a well worn paper notebook. More at home in my actual lap than any desk, no matter what position I was contorted in. And felt fine to toss around and treat rough, with the slightly cramped space only enhancing the experience of a light, portable machine. All making it something I carried around, just in case. Helped that it barely weighed anything at all.

The air isn't too bad, but there's something sterile about it, and it doesn't fade in the background, or even a backpack, quite as well.
It's worth noting that hierarchy itself isn't the problem, only hierarchy that isn't necessary for identifying a resource. If you happen to start comments on every post from 0 -- something like a (post_id, comment_id) primary key constraint on your comments table -- then it's natural to have a `/posts/1/comments/2` structure for your URLs. Under this data model, if you just had `/comments/2`, you wouldn't know enough to actually identify the comment -- just that it's the second comment on some post.

Whether it's a good idea to use this kind of composite key is a separate question, though.

NaOH is only unsafe because it's highly alkaline, but it doesn't stay highly alkaline after it encounters buffers like bicarbonate or hydrogenphosphate, which are abundant in the natural environment. After it's been neutralized in this way, it's just sodium ions, and while enough of those will indeed cause environmental damage (witness salinization-induced desertification in much of the Middle East) it takes truly massive quantities.
