> 1. I didn't want to be the boss, I just absolutely HATE being told what to do. The only way to not be told what to do, then, is be in charge.

I'm surprised you say that this is the #1 secret to your success - in my experience, the worst managers I've ever had were people who became managers just because they wanted to be in charge and "make hard decisions".
The best managers have been the ones who leave product decisions to product specialists and engineering decisions to engineers.
For you and me, yes. Corporations, however, decided to never promote people that can code and to create new positions, like product owner, scrum master, all kinds of managers, that will be filled with cheaper, unable to code people. My experience is that a lot of very important questions never get asked until it is too late: until a developer has to write the code.
Epigenetics is to do with how genes are activated and DNA is folded around his histones. I would be very surprised if DNA could survive digestion and influence human genetic expression/epigenetics. There may be other mechanisms I guess (and things like abnormal protein folding like prion diseases can influence other nearby proteins) but I think I’m grasping at straws.
I assume financially this would probably not be feasible or sustainable everywhere but I really wish malls could lean further into theme parks rather than shopping hubs

Most of them are half way there with movie theaters, arcades, etc. I recently went to one with an attached Medieval Times.

I'm curious how much filling in laser tag, rock climbing, and other in person only activities would generate turnout.
Congratulations and best wishes to Andreas and his team. His work is very inspiring.

My question as a systems programming newbie:

Could a compiled binary of this project with HTML and CSS be used to create cross platform apps like Electron?
Why should North Korea be allowed to steal and hack from other country’s people and organizations? It should be shut down immediately.

I feel like your trying to say NK and Tornado should be able to do illegal activities that harm people. Just because you don’t like the police or something.
Interesting, I'm currently running Windows 10 with a Ubuntu desktop in a VM and multiple web browsers open with lots of tabs. According to Ryzen Master, my 3900X is consuming ~25-30 watts.

Edit: Libre Hardware Monitor shows package consumption around ~55 watts which looks suspiciously close to CPU + chipset power consumption.
I don’t follow your logic. Isn’t the whole point of mixers that everyone can see dirty money go in, then the forensic trail stops?
I can’t see anyone forcing SQLite into WP just an informed discussion of the pros and cons.

On the other hand you seem to be completely against the idea on principle despite any advantages.
I am not. My comment doesn’t encapsulate the entire idea of mathematics. And, that’s kind of my point.

I agree that math is much more than a tool. Much much more.

Regardless, it is a language. Not just to describe reality, but also abstract ideas. And I believe this encapsulates the entirety of what math is, unless I left out something major.
It's one of the reasons why running without swap can have even worse pathological behaviour than running with swap. With swap the kernel can prioritise keeping code in RAM over little-used data, wheras without it when RAM fills up with data eventually the currently running hot code gets swapped out and performance completely tanks, meaning the system doesn't actually hit the nice OOM error you hope it would. (hence userspace utilities like earlyoom to kick in before the kernel's absolute last resort strategy).
If it can be abused, it will be abused.

All it takes is one TikTok video of someone projecting their rap video on the road, and the streets will be awash with them.

Or better yet — Coca Cola delivery trucks projecting Coca Cola ads on the streets in front of them, and behind.

Or supermarket delivery cars projecting the latest specials on the streets for everyone to see.

Or road-spam-as-a-service, where you can rent a car to project your ads on the streets.

Combine it with a little bit of "AI:" Car sees someone walking their dog on the sidewalk, and projects ads for dog food at their feet.

Welcome to the dystopia.
An F250 generally has a GVWR of 9900, which is essentially 5T. It could be spec'd with a 12400 limit, but most are not. Far more common on an F350, though, to see 13000+.

I expect you're talking about curb weight. 6500 pounds for a gasser F250 is pretty typical, a bit north of 7000 for a diesel (which is 3.5T). But it's impractical to go by curb weight, the real number is GVWR. Can't tell what someone might be carrying and it all goes to the road.
I'm an electrical engineer so we did a lot of math in circuits class where we used Euler's identity. We did stuff like e^(i * theta) = cos(theta) + i * sin(theta)

Then our teacher said "that part is imaginary" and just crossed out the isin(theta) part so e^(itheta) = cos(theta) and use that to solve circuit problems. I kind of laughed but some other people have told me that it is more of a math shortcut rather than "i" having a real world impact.

As I said I have taken a quantum physics class but I'm not a physicist. But it seems like "i" really is necessary for quantum mechanics and manifests itself in the real world.

I’m not saying HUDs are great, I’m saying they’re relatively simple compared to this tech.
> the last attempt to do so didn't go so well.

It has been running for months now (doing tests). And for these latest delays we should mainly blame the Germans (Siemens) due to their faulty automation systems and steam turbine. Can't put all the blame on the French :(
Does anyone have a link to the suit itself ?
Happy to see new browsers appearing. Up to this day I'm still trying to find a good replacement for Conkeror(http://conkeror.org/), with little luck. webmacs was quite promising for a bit but it just petered off.
If it didn't do anything well, 60% of CMS wouldn't run Wordpress.

You can't run "git gc" sporadically on your repo?
Hormones are sometimes ingested and they have an impact.
Well I read the article and got excited about eliminating internal combustion engines...
I know a lot would have to go wrong for it to matter. But having the ability to crank out huge amounts of corn, dairy and cheese if other food sources become scarce is a good ace in the hole to have if push comes to shove. Look at how the supply chain crunch affected our ability to produce certain goods. It wasn't so bad overall but we don't want to deal with that for calories.
Appetite and metabolism is much more complicated than a thermodynamics problem.

A calorie deficit implies knowledge of metabolic rate which can be highly variable. While calories in can be trivially counted, calories out needs to be calculated and cannot assume a significant level of accuracy.

Regardless, the problem with solving the obesity epidemic isn’t that people can’t lose weight, but is keeping weight off after reaching a goal weight.
The immense marketing around "healthy" vs "unhealthy" food has also contributed to it. Most people consider a glass of orange juice to be "healthy" and a can of Coca Cola to be "unhealthy" but a can of coke has 140 calories and the exact same size of orange juice is 150 - but most people drink a glass of orange juice which is often 16-20 ounces, getting you up near 300 calories.

Sure the orange juice is probably "healthier" per calorie, whatever that means, but you're still drinking a lot of calories.
Metformin never really yielded noticeable benefits for me (neither in terms of fat loss nor any bloodwork metrics) above and beyond other lifestyle changes I had already made, so I discontinued it after a trial period of about 4 months.

The MD I was working with argued that I could have seen a impact on weight loss if taking a more extreme approach to dieting (basically an extremely high protein, moderate fat, moderate carb diet with 300-400 calories of intake every ~4 hours from sunrise to sunset) in conjunction with the metformin, but that approach didn't really fit my lifestyle at the time. If done correctly, this ostensibly maximizes the gluconeogenesis inhibition effect of metformin in conjunction with minimizing fatty acid synthesis by keeping blood levels at a consistent glucose deficit (thus encouraging lipolysis). I was also unconvinced that this isn't a just-so story, and thus I preferred to take a traditional 'keto' diet route (which has a lot more evidence backing it).
> I'm currently looking out the window at a shopping center with exactly this format.

FWIW, I don't think the op was actually describing a shopping center.
I note that your head of state met 15 prime ministers and had them explain themselves. And not once found fault with them.

That's statistically rather unlikely if she were to actually have a choice. (It's even more unlikely given that group includes Boris Johnson and Liz Truss)

By all means, keep your pomp and circumstance. But don't pretend it has a useful function constraining politics when it's so blatantly obvious it doesn't.
> Are we talking about real optimizations?

Yes. The new fixes don't work by turning off features like so-long-mode does. And they remove the long lines penalty almost completely.
Why not use a heads-up display on the windscreen? Some automakers already do this and it should avoid most of the concerns around projecting outside the vehicle.
It should reduce its features, collapse options to one-way-to-do-thing. Undo mistake should be first class citizen, I've seen lots of gymnastic commands here, and they won't work for all cases.

It's kind of fun to see all the new takes on malls. In/around NYC we have a few that I actually use:

- Hudson Yards - a pretty good destination with a small kid on a rainy day and easy to get to via the subway. Big and open, has a Camp store (with slide and play area), good sit down and take-away food options, and surrounded by some fun outdoor city stuff (my son LOVES watching the train yard across the street, and the highline is right there).

- American Dream in NJ - More like an indoor collection of amusement parks, we use the Legoland Experience and the Aquarium reasonably often and when my son is a little older we'll likely use the Nickelodeon theme park and the indoor water park which looks pretty fun. This poor place opened right at the start of the pandemic, hope it survives.

- Ridge Hill in Yonkers - Sort of an outdoor mall... has another Legoland experience, but also a pretty good mini golf and arcade (it's really hard to find a good arcade for little kids in NYC) and a trampoline park we might get to try one day.

What really makes these malls work is they have unique and fun experiences rather than just the typical department-store-anchored "get your daily errands done like it's 1980 and amazon doesn't exist" experiences.

I do miss the malls of my youth (RIP South Square [1]), but economically most of those stores don't make any sense anymore and I don't see why they'd come back. I'm sure not going to start driving to a mall to go to a Radio Shack anymore.

Which it does have threading now, at least.
Ironically, when everything went remote in 2020, it took away a lot of the culture I valued (imagine being at a place full of cool people who arent there because they are forced to come in but because they want to be there). That plus an acquisition and an opportunity to double my pay ultimately led to me leaving.

I wonder how the culture has recovered now in 2022.
I'm very skeptical. I think there are some things that may make us "feel hungrier" but there's nothing changing our metabolism.

If we are to believe this, it would mean that "plastic" is making our bodies so much more efficient that there's extra energy that's being stored as fat.

I like to keep my weight exactly at 155# (as a 5'10 59 year old man).

Once a year, I "bulk" and go up to 160 while doing more strenuous weight training. The math always works exactly -- for every 3000 extra k/cal I eat, I go up a pound. When it's time to "cut" back to 155#, for every 3000 k/cal deficit I drop a pound.

15 years ago, I got fat. I stopped paying attention to what I was eating. Got my weight up to 205#. I lost it by strictly counting calories. The math worked perfectly. I went to 1200 k/cal and lost 2 pounds a week. Exactly. Every week.

Eating no more calories than your body needs works for everyone. You cannot create matter out of thin air, no matter what fat people will tell you.

The Obese and Overweight cost society greatly. The fact that they're consuming more than they need, use more fuel to move around, and get sick and require more medical care costs us trillions. It's time they stopped pointing their fingers at "plastics" and started obeying the laws of thermodynamics.
The only thing missing in that code is a comment saying "temporary fix" that will still be there 10 years later.
He’s explicitly refuting that you need billions. Just because they did it that way doesn’t mean the next browser/chromium has to be that way.
There have been a few articles about the future of psychedelics on HN recently and the potential future businesses around them.

It’s interesting to see that there are already hundreds of ketamine clinics all around the US.

Head-up displays are available in a relatively mid-range BMW 3 series from over 10 years ago.

Heads-up displays were available in cars at least as far back as the 1990's. Perhaps earlier.

These days, you can get an app for your smartphone that doe the same thing. You just velcro the phone to your dashboard under the windshield and the backwards HUD is reflected in the glass.
I generally prefer shopping for clothing in-person over online shopping. It's just too hard to get the fit right online without some luck and the back-and-forth of returns and re-orders. I had to get a dress shirt and pants ASAP for a funeral recently when I realized my old ones no longer fit. I went to the mall, and I had to go to multiple stores to find something that I liked and that fit well, but I found it -- without having to drive all over to visit multiple stores, and without having to wait for shipping and/or deal with returns.

I don't visit malls often, but I can see some value in having them around.
Apparently it's 1981 - RMS started with the codebase of Gosling Emacs, but then quickly rewrote most of it when he replaced the Lisp implementation. Still, the blank-file moment was apparently with Gosling.
If that's the cost of a freer internet that's fine with me. I don't care if it's $10t.
I agree that's what happens.

At the same time if you just take your MVP and copy paste it to production and don't fix it... that's the problem, not what they did for an MVP.

Personally, if I'm hacking out an MVP for something and someone wants to get nit picky ... I'm going to be kinda unhappy. It's an MVP there's going to be A TON to nit pick about, that's the nature of it.

And for me I don’t understand why people think obesity is such a simple problem?

Every single other thing in our body is complex and has chains and chains of reactions and impacts. Why is obesity the single one where the answer is “obvious”?

Anyway I agree that we should change how we design our cities, etc to deal with our sedentary lifestyle.
I used this to solve some complicated calendar scheduling routines for an app I wrote in Kotlin. Originally, I used some brute force/search methods to handle this, but the approach outlined here provided far better results, and it took less time too.
My wife flies internationally a number of times a year, and I'm sometimes with her. We've been using timeshifter for a couple of years. It's current pricing of 24.99 a year is in an awkward spot where if we _know_ we're only flying internationally _once_ that year, it's expensive, but if there are three trips planned, it seems cheap.

I would love to just pay $5 a (round) trip. The price per trip model becomes funky if the user needs to modify their flights at some point.

The first time we used Timeshifter it worked so well we knew we needed to always use it.

My one gripe with Timeshifter is that is assumes I can keep to it's schedule perfectly. What happens if I couldn't sleep on one of my flights, or had to wake up earlier to catch a train to the airport?

Other way around. An app with Bluetooth/Wifi access can determine your approximate location by seeing what devices are nearby. So the OS asks you to grant location permissions since, in effect, that is what you're granting the app.
After moving to Git from Perforce for ~5 years now, I still miss P4V's Timeline view so much when trying to understand when and why some code changes happened.

It's like a kind of blame + log in a single UI, in Git terms, and is just wonderful for quickly moving through the entire history of a file.

Right, I'm not in the US even though I've been there many times including having worked there and I've relatives who live there.

I suppose I should have given that more thought as I'm well aware of the high litigation factor in the US. Where I am it's significantly less.

The trouble with litigation taken to extremes and outrageously high payouts is that it puts a high overhead on everyone who does business. In some ways I'm surprised there hasn't been a significant backlash against this.
I have a few choice adjectives to describe Magnus’s behaviour but I just don’t get how it’s dishonest to be cryptic.
Yeah my local mall is doing this. If they can pull together some tasty and healthy-ish options at the food court the mall could get a lot of traffic just from lazy people trying to get an easy dinner.

The very fact (or assumed fact) that we know North Korea is using this undercuts the argument that we need to shut this down because it allows for anonymous money laundering. (By definition: the only way money laundering can be "dangerous" is if it cannot be detected or the players identified.)
Mini ITX is also insanely more expensive than building a regula tower. Sure, if you're only putting the most expensive CPU and GPU in it then probably it doesn't matter to you but for value oriented builds, miniITX case, Mobo, PSU and cooler add up a lot.

Your argument is akin to saying people shouldn't be allowed to drive cars because a car was used one time in a heist.
How much is that due to clinging to old standard and legacy ways of doing things? If I look at my own code which tracks recent c++ standard quite aggressively, between c++11 and c++20 some parts of the code have enjoyed more than a 10x reduction due to the better abstractions, which definitely reduces the amount of bugs and development investment needed. I also don't remember the last time I had a memory leak/error that my IDE didn't show me inline to the code while I was typing thanks to clang-analyzer. Ladybird starts from these 2022 best practices - I'd wager it can reach its goals in muuch less time and engineering than it'd take chrome or FF with their (inescapable, no one wants to let good code go) legacy baggage, both social and technical
This is definitely a pandora's box type issue. I believe it is different from the "code is speech" series of arguments around PGP because a deployed smart contract is not merely source code / compiled bytecode, but also a wallet containing funds. Of course, you still need the Ethereum "world computer" to make it run, and Tornado Cash is not very helpful without a significant amount of liquidity to sufficiently provide cover for people who want to obfuscate the source of their funds. These issues are likely to arise in court and I don't believe the conclusions will all be favorable to crypto supporters because I don't think the situation is as clear cut.
Humans also rely on visual information for driving and can easily be tricked. For instance, I don't think there is any security mechanism to prevent the placement of a battery powered green light on top of a red traffic light. In that case, an autonomous car's logs could actually help in discovering the tampering.
I agree with you, but I'd like to point out that the same logic could be applied to e.g. game console emulators.

...and as much as I hate to say it, I do think the logic might be correct in both situations. (I say this as a heavy user of console emulators—albeit also as someone who does go through the trouble to legally dump his own games.)
And when in the office, do you chain them to their desks? Never letting them take a bathroom break, never letting them handle family emergencies, never letting them take a lunch break, never letting them step outside to take a walk?

I'm guessing that's not the case.

So even in the office, the team's availability is not absolute. Which raises the question of why would someone expect otherwise when working from home.
Generally speaking, when I'm feeling insecure about my job, I mostly just start looking for other jobs to resolve the insecurity. So if you want people to leave for better paying work, make them feel like they could lose their job at any moment.

I think this insecurity/anxiety is why a lot of people are so interesting in the FIRE movement. It helps resolve the constant anxiety of having to anticipate and prepare for endless job insecurity.

And yet, it's still 'shopping' in a sense. You're mostly just buying experiences vs buying 'stuff'.
I was happy to see them state that influence over their browser cannot be bought. Mozilla taking $400 million+ a year from Google is the elephant in the room when it comes to browser competition. Not to mix metaphors, but this would give us a large competitor not beholden to Google, the gorilla in the room.
Well are dead-ish to dead malls and then there are malls that are doing pretty well and then there are luxury malls. You tend to see mall Apple stores in the middle category; even though they're not traditional anchor stores they effectively are.

Meanwhile, the former category has/had anchor stores like in the case of local mall such as it is at this point like Sears, JC Penney, and Macys.
