Personally I don't support countries which locked people outside under some false pretense of protecting anyone as Australia, NZ, Canada or Japan is doing and LATE reversal on such policy is even more reassuring me to not visit (out of those 4, only Japan is a bit interesting for me and worth visiting (as someone who lived for years in Eastern Asia)).

If you didn't fully open by spring 2022 for everyone, then you don't deserve my money and can wait at least 1-2 extra years before I even consider spending money, since you didn't rush I won't rush either.

Same reason I didn't even consider this year holidays in Spain (maybe not one specific harsh restriction but overal sum with locking children inside, wearing mask outdoors and other nonsense), Italy (work ban for unvaxxed takes the gold) or Greece (fines for unvaxxed seniors takes the gold) this summer in Europe, because of what they did to own citizens.
The only game I really enjoyed in the past 15 years was an adventure-type interactive fiction game called Vespers.

Everything else might be good enough for a distraction but I wouldn’t say I was actually intrigued.
Banning books that talk against the Holocaust and promoting books that talk about gender-related surgeries are nowhere close in the damage they can potentially create even if you take the most pessimistic stance possible about the later, a sense of proportion is needed in any discussion.
Adventure games have always been a somewhat specific genre. Whether through text , 2D, or 3D, they're generally puzzle-driven, choose-your-own-adventure style narrative outings.

Timescale doesn't charge for any of its software. Revenue comes from providing hosting services that are optimized towards TimescaleDB and PostgreSQL at scale.

That includes the HA implementation, and I think someone else shared the docs for that. Hope this helps.
Prior topics on HN about those speed tests (eg[1]) also show ISPs prioritize them which gives a misleading representation of typical speeds.

Same story with directus, thought it'd be cool to no code easily create a db table, and generate the subsequent api.

However, it's actually much faster to use something like Laravel, where most of the work is boilerplate cli commands.
Not really, as we already have a bunch of regulations that limit publications in cases of defamation, hate speech, incitement to violence, harassment, cold pornography, videos of rape etc. and society is safer for it, not indeed a dystopian nightmare.
No website I use does take 6 seconds to load. And I have 50 Mbps downlink. Can anyone name a website that does take that long to load? Github for example does load in 4.37 seconds with cache disabled in developer tools. CNN does take 3.58 seconds.

But I'm using uBlock origin …
For my fedora people,I just want to remind them that whenever anyone says docker, you can safely use podman (or at least that is the goal).

It won't be rootless in this case as far as I know because you will need privileged ports 80 and 443 but good habit in general.

If you're a developer that doesn't use AWS, what are the reasons you avoid it?
Excellent collection of reasons for not using AWS.
So Docker gives you Dockerfiles that show exactly what's installed. It then leverages kernel namespaces introducing that extra level of security. Or so at least that's always been how I see it.
"Full Time Executive"?

Or Economist. Both are probably correct.
This interpretation of the terms is straining it almost to the breaking point. The section you quoted says explicitly:

"We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your Personal Information for their own purposes and only permit them to process your Personal Information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions, unless the data is rendered fully anonymous."

You didn't quote this part.

To me, the most straightforward reading is that Ditto does their own advertising, and targets it to specific users by using third party advertisers (Ditto paying the advertisers to place an ad, not the advertisers paying Ditto for the information), who are contractually bound to only use that information to deliver the ad that Ditto placed and not to use the information for their own future benefit.

The only possible reading I can see where this can be interpreted as selling personal information is the fact that the "Advertising and marketing partners" bullet doesn't use the phrase "service providers", and that thus, the contractual restriction on "service providers" could thereby exempt that bullet. Is this what you are hanging your interpretation on?

(Reason for my interest: I regularly read privacy policies, looking for loopholes; there's a huge range not just in privacy practices but in how clearly they are described. Ditto's could be clearer - perhaps by including an explicit statement that they don't sell personal information, as some do - but Ditto's privacy policy is not what that of a company who sells personal information as part of their business model looks like.)
HDR (HDR10) is the high dynamic range data. HDR10+ and DolbyVision are additional metadata on top of that.
I also do think Tether is dodgy, but even if they weren't, the illusion would be the same – real money enters the market through the usual fiat onramps, then it gets traded for BTC. Since BTC/USDT is one of the most liquid markets, this often can result in new Tether being issued to trade with (potentially in a transparent way to the user) and as long as the other party does not redeem these new USDT they inflate the market cap

The question then becomes whether the fiat going in matches the new Tether being issued, and that can't be answered without a proper audit.
Yeah I really wish there was something built in for project tracking. I know it's kind of pretty huge scope push but it's something that basically every project needs- or could at least use- and having it siloed into other tooling is hard to sell.

Even just Git-the-project defining a spec would go a long way, people could use their own local tools and eventually Github would have to implement the bridge or suffer the egg as other tools built better integrations. Of course it's all too fraught with landmines and will never happen, for better and for worse.

Github could even end up making git-issues-msvc-edition and we'd get to relive the 90s.

I wonder, are there proprietary VCS's that embed issues, etc?
Honest question. What do you see "not clean" in the original code?
I think that just sort of says, hey share this signal.tube link or use a hashtag on a public channel like Twitter. When they say DM or use a private channel to distribute it my question is, what are those channels? What if those are also blocked?
What I think is that compared to many other sports Chess is less centralized. In for example many athletic sports there is a pretty clear hierarchy : local clubs - national association - international association (socces, tennis, with notable exceptions like boxing, or even the less clear UEFA - FIFA hierarchy; US sports are often very centralized).

So the rules of chess are clear, but the sport is practiced online over many different venues and organizers (like: boxing or MMA) that don't all seem to fall under one set of guiding principles. So there is no appeal to authority, even when the sports biggest star is a part of a controversy.

That being said, based on this article I think Chess.com is just stringing out the controversy for maximal exposure. Again, akin to the controversies in boxing or say MMA.

Ah in that situation, your trouble would be with the Iranian government when you travel back to Iran? Of course countries can generally pass laws that do anything (they can execute people no?). In western legal tradition extra territoriality is reserved for special situations. In places like Iran where the rule of law is weak it does not apply.

But then in that sense Iran can do whatever it wants once they get their hands on you, laws or not
Your network packets are making a round trip between your computer and the nearest server the site is on, so there's always going to be a hard limit on site speed based on distance. That has to happen a few times for DNS, OPTIONS, a GET for the HTML, maybe more for any blocking resources. Add on parsing and rendering and it's probably getting close to impossible to get much under 100ms for for websites these days. 5 times that isn't great but it does seem a little unreasonable to complain.
Ask HN: How do you cope with enviness?
I have many successful friends out there. At some time it was motivating, but not it's disappointing.

I'm pretty sure if everyone will be honest, most of us have the same feeling from time to time.

Sometimes it drives us, gives us energy to work. But sometimes it has the opposite effect.

Any thoughts about this?
> Author denounced the keto diet right there in the article.

No, he only distances himself of fat-based keto. He is a low carb/keto fanatic. He jumps to conclusions from MyFitnessPal data and hand picked things (like the "1997 satiety index"). And seems to be doing mostly experiments on himself. This is garbage.

It makes me sad these kind of unscientific fads pop up constantly on HN.

> I wonder how all of us are not already dead. I guess doctors who understand statistics have more impact than those who do not. That's why.

The reason why is much simpler: in virtually all cases, if you don't bother to see a doctor, you won't die. Doctors aren't killing people at such high rates that most of us should already be dead.
> Is your solution to keep the walled garden systems we currently have that benefit proportionally very few people on earth?

Almost every single person on Earth benefits in some way from the current systems over not having them at all. Yes, they tend to let power and resources accumulate with a select few, which is not necessarily the best or most moral outcome. I'd be interested to know why you think this wouldn't be the case with the alternatives - regardless of the intentions of well-meaning ideologues, the powerful tend to get what they want in the end.

> Why not give the rest of the world access to the tools for economical freedom too?

If the issue was as simple as this sentence, then sure. In reality it isn't, though. I could flip it and ask "why abandon regulations that limit how capital can exploit labor and prevent criminals from evading laws"?

> And please let's not even debate if they work or not yet, I am more interested in the reasoning behind preserving the current status quo where billions of people literally cannot access these tools.

What line of thinking is this? Of course the reasoning behind preserving the current status quo, which is a known quantity, over something new, could well be that you don't yet know if or how the alternatives work? That doesn't mean that they can't be better or shouldn't be implemented at some point, but it's totally valid not to want to run head-first into something unknown and potentially detrimental, just because what we have now is imperfect.
This is art.
If a pile of bricks wrapped in paper, or a lump of decaying meat in a box is art, then this is art.
It's true. I've provided some relevant links elsewhere in this discussion.

As for alternatives, I really don't know enough about the situation in Iran to say what would be safe. After they stated collecting data I personally switched to Jami for secure communications, but I'm not a whistleblower or a journalist or a freedom fighter or anything and to be honest, I haven't found anything as polished as Signal that handles both secure messaging and plain old SMS/MMS. I was a fan. It's been years and I'm still hugely disappointed.

The first paragraph paints a picture, where all skeptics are crazy or idiotic.

It's worth remembering the definition of skeptic as stated here:

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/skeptic

"a person who questions the validity or authenticity of something purporting to be factual.".

But COVID discussions tend to be extremely black and white, with no place for a middle ground.

The comment about skeptics serves only to keep that black and white picture, which is one reason for downvoting.

What would it cost Adobe NOT to acquire Figma? I interview several UI/UX and product designers every week and without exception the tool they use if Figma.
There are no stupid questions? I’ve seen a grown man ask a pregnant teenager whether she was the mother.
From the experience of my grandmother and her relatives people were not hungry or particularly thin or deficient. Of cause this is still anecdotical, but then consider aboriginal people from Papua New Guinea. Their primary source of calories for the whole life was varieties of sweet potatoes that had even smaller ratio of protein/calories than ordinary potatoes. By various estimates their protein intake was like 40 gram per day or even less. Yet they were muscular and healthy with no signs of deficiencies capable of doing a lot of heavy manual labor in their fields.

Then there were experiments some from over 100 years ago that showed that athletes at the top level can still improve their performance eating 60-65 gram of protein on average per day for over a year.

Then consider junk vegans who eat mostly potato chips. They do have health issues, but those can be attributed to consumptions of too much empty calories from heavily processed seed oils, not any kind of protein deficiency.

“Synthwave multimedia project” would be how I’d describe it.

It’s very good. Made me think of the Jeff Goldblum / Michelle Pfeiffer film Into the Night (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089346/).
I disagree with this. In school I didn't feel much anxiety and didn't try very hard at exams. I didn't think my life would be over if I didn't do this or that. I simply didn't have those thoughts back then.

Now I'm older I understand what stress is and I do feel like my actions (or inaction) could ruin the rest of my life. There have been several key moments in my adult life that I can pinpoint as high stakes and peak anxiety. Yet I still have the school dreams. I had one just last night, in fact.

> No wonder you think open source doesn't work, you're trying to use the stuff open source developers abandoned years ago.

You seem confused and are talking nonsense. And the fact you say open source developer abandon things proves my point.
The first paragraph does not paint that picture. If you're reading that into it, maybe you should look into yourself and figure out why. I said, extremely clearly, that the group of "COVID skeptics" includes all those crazy people, not that those people make up the entire group. There are people who are skeptical of the official narrative but in a non-crazy way; the people who gave some credence to the idea that there might've bean an accidental leak from some lab, for example, aren't crazy, even though they contradict the official narrative.

I think the comment I replied to would've been much more valuable if it specified which groups of COVID skeptics they're backing up. As it stands, it's just playing apologetics for crazy people.
That part of the article rang true and broke my heart a little bit. I only discovered Figma recently and was trying to decide if I should dive in and really learn it. Now I am much less excited about the prospect. The last thing I want is to be “nudged” towards an Adobe account. I would be surprised if Adobe doesn’t mess this up.

That's what doctors are paid to do. Unfortunately, they can't wait for the RCT's to be finished before making a decision, and so we train them well and pay them well to make decisions under uncertainty.

It's rather like software engineering, but with lives/health at stake.
I think Legend of Zelda series is considered an "action-adventure game", not an "adventure game". The former tends to occupy the "gameplay space" of an action RPG with little to no stats or loot/inventory juggling, optionally with platforming (if 3D).

It's a bit tricky because the definition of "action-adventure" broadened as LoZ added more gameplay elements, and more games became "LoZ adjacent" (although it's not as muddled as the definition of "rogue-like", which got all messed up because of Spelunky being a surprise hit).

Adventure games are almost always narrative driven and puzzle-oriented though, and without RPG elements (because if they had strong RPG elements they'd just be called RPGs).
So why aren't you using Btu?

Why doesn’t he just leak his thoughts through a mouthpiece? E.g. “friends close to Carlsen say…”

There is no risk of defamation etc this way.
Just because a thing can be expressed in different words does not mean everyone always has the awareness to choose words that are politically desirable at every single point of their lives - especially when you are trying to teach children to use precise language (family implies a group of more than two people), and when identical similar language is perfectly ok if you have the right set of genitalia.

I am not arguing for teaching toddlers about homosexual BDSM culture here. I just think that particular law is overreaching its goals, possibly to stroke the egos of religious zealots.

> but as a human you need to be available to communicate with others the vast majority of the time

I hope every time you are in public (and even in your private life) that you are accosted by randos who are over eager to share whatever drivel comes to their mind. And if you complain they will retort with "as a human you need to be available to communicate with others the vast majority of the time".

Please answer ever spam caller, every JW/door-to-door salesman. You _need_ this. Please post your personal contact details in every public space. Everyone NEEDS to communicate with you. It's not up to you. It's up to them. They must be able to communicate with you whenever it suits them.
