> Not using a vanity name of a celebrity is not exactly the same as deadnaming. If Ye would have chosen John as his first name I could see it being similar

ok, so I don't have to respect trans peoples' "vanity" name changes if it's not something equivalent to "John", as per my own judgement? like I get to make my own internal judgement as to whether or not the name that someone asks to be referred to as is a "vanity" name or not??

or, I don't get to do this, because trans people are somehow special in this regard compared to everyone else???

you don't get to make rules like that. you can say, "if someone legally changes their name, then you should respect that and use their preferred, legal name." you can even extend that and say, "if someone wants to be referred to as some name other than their legal name, then this, too, should be respected, you should refer to them as their non-legal, yet still preferred name." that's fine too.

but you don't get to claim that someone legally changing their name and asking everyone to use their new legal name and not use their old "slave name" (their own words), is just a "celebrity" with a "vanity name", and therefore "deadnaming" rules no longer apply, somehow! this destroys your entire moral framework about identity and the right to self-determination thereof.
Liberal Parler wouldn't even match the viewership of MSNBC/CNN. None of them would want to be on a platform exclusively filled with people like them, because they take pride in the repetition of what authority figures have told them and have a disdain for "research," which makes them boring. More liberals watch Tucker Carlson (although I don't know how anyone can stand him) than watch any MSNBC or CNN show.

> It's because he's enlarging exactly one segment, his own political views.

We'll see, but I think that a lot of people narcissisticly project beliefs on Musk that are exactly the opposite of things that they would like to see (and did see) censored (and a lot of fanboys who do the opposite.) Neither Trump, Musk or Putin are symbols meant to equally and oppositely oppose all that you support; you actually have to look up their opinions on things to have an accurate view of the world, rather than simply assume that they designed their opinions to be the opposite of yours. They don't know you.
Yeah, citation needed here. If you feel that different groups are participating in the same TOS violations, but only one set of groups is experiencing consequences for it, you may want to reassess your assumption in the first clause.

For any theory about a common pattern of behaviour, there will be many exceptions that don’t fit the theory. Without hard data, both sides are giving a subjective opinion based on their experience, and both sides are probably right in part.

The most distasteful part about Gitea incorporating is that the overwhelming majority of the code is written by Joe Chen (unknwon) the creator of Gogs (which is where Gitea is forked from).

You could probably do it in FlightGear, and modify the aircraft to model reversed ailerons but correct spoilers.

I wonder if you could do it by dicking around with the joystick inputs, giving "reversed" controls over the first little bit, then a dead spot, then correct inputs once you've moved more than a certain amount?
What an absurdly condescending and inaccurate comment, especially for someone saying just fork it instead of actually interacting with people to try to reach resolution of an issue. “Just fork it” is literally the opposite of working with others.

Splintering an ecosystem can end up with a worse outcome for everyone. A fork that no one cares about, created because someone had a tantrum instead of reaching resolution is not a home run. It will eventually fall so far out of sync with the main project that it will no longer get any of the maintenance or other benefits of a large project.
The analysis of visual art does not depend on the authors intent any more than for written work. But changing the orientation of a piece would better be compared to changing the order of the words than analyzing the work. Hanging it upside down changes the work, not your analysis of it.
On bad days:

Key word is bad days. Expats in China have noticed the same thing, with VPNs sporadically not working during summits, around certain holidays, etc but resuming afterwards. Also, for some reason certain VPNs work more consistently than others even though they use the same protocols as blocked services. Some speculate that the ones that continue to work are either honeypots or the companies behind them have (social) connections

Also, it's kind of poor taste to call those who want free(dom) internet there as "neo liberals"

You really don't need too many intricate contraptions. Your groundwork needs to be reasonably solid (mining, smelting, green electrical), but the later stuff can be done more quickly with botches and tech-debt instead of intricate setups. Insisting on a beautifully laid-out factory that looks good is a surefire way to make your playthrough take ten times as long.

Figuring out which parts are worth refactoring into better solutions as demand increases is also quite fun imho.

California is currently having power outages with no severe weather and rather mild temperature today. Electric vehicles make a lot of sense for driving in cities but how are they planning on providing the power for EVs without building a lot more power generation than they currently seem willing to do?
https://poweroutage.us/area/state/california

I've seen conflicting reports on California's ability to generate enough electricity to sustain the rising demand for EVs and so far it seems the politicians are just wanting to push that problem off until it becomes an unsustainable emergency.

Glucose is toxic. Granted, even water is toxic at some level, but that threshold for toxicity is much higher than that of glucose. Glucose is a fundamental part of the Krebs cycle, yes, and is not a problem if that glucose is managed and regulated. By default, the human body manages glucose very well. When that system is disrupted either by consuming exogenous carbohydrates as well as consuming carbs and fats together simultaneously, said system begins to fail and that's what can lead to all sorts of problems involving blood sugar.

See Table 1 of "Glucose Toxicity":

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK278934/

Unmanaged glucose is toxic to every tissue in the body.

Amazon has been slowly trending down over the last 10 years for me (but in many ways also improving).

Amazon used to be a shop I trusted, products arrived in good condition, and their customer service was pleasant to deal with. Now it’s full of crap, product nearly always arrive damaged (I mostly buy books), and their customer service is significantly less helpful.

I live in central europe maybe things are better in the US.

I watched a lot of accident videos and that kinda is the common trend. Many of them were caused not only by actual failure but by pilots not understanding what the plane was telling them, or plane sending mixed signals (whether actually or by pilot's misunderstandings)

I remember one accident where part of the cause was that both pilots were trying to yank the plane in different direction, and the system just averaged out both inputs and as it was fly by wire and there was no feedback and "too much to do", pilots didn't notice. That's the reason why many planes have pilot's controls connected with eachother - so one can feel what the other one is trying to do.

> This is probably the only real benefit of devops: designing systems on the assumption people will need to intervene to fix them during moments of highest demand.

I have noticed the interesting trend when it comes to automating and "cattlefication" of everything - the less something breaks the less everyone involved understands it. Because it's automated and because nobody needs to even read anything to deploy it (just add a line in Puppet manifest and you're done) when it does break not even the author has a clue why. Documentation helps a little bit but there is a gulf between "describing what it is and how to use it" and "knowing enough to find where the problem is.

So the engineers' habit of providing details in written materials is indisputable potential forensic self defense.

A closest analogy would be the Babylon Bee making a joke about how you are not bipolar, it's all just in your head, or a satire about researchers trying to cure bipolar disorder instead of cancer, a real disease, and those would be fine, but then they would insist that it is true, your bipolar disorder is made up, and the CEO of Babylon Bee would go on Tucker Carlson's show and they would laugh about you being a whiny, lazy leftist making up things because you never had a strict parent to beat some sense into you.

Feel the difference? Transgender people should be absolutely the butt of jokes, that's how you include them, but then don't go around denying, mocking and invalidating them. Without some semblance of good faith you are not a joker, but a propagandist.
hey HNers, this is sorta related to an idea I have, using a Pi plus an RF transceiver for reading RFID tags. Commercial ones with Bluetooth seem to run $1,000 or more.

I'm helping out with a food distribution org (lfrad.org). One of their gleaners, Steve, would like an easy way to estimate the weight of the food they've collected from a supermarket. The idea we like is to attach an RFID tag to each box of food (not each item), and segregate the types of food, e.g. a bread box, a produce box, a milk box. Steve already does the repacking, in boxes in his SUV. He knows the average weight of a box of each type of food.

The tags will just say what kind of food it is. They can be reused once they're counted.

Note that the boxes don't come pre-packed from the store, and he doesn't lay them all out on the ground before putting them in his car.

SO: the goal is, he just points his homebrew RFID reader at the car full of boxes, and it counts the boxes of each type of food.

Has anyone ever done anything like this?

He's a former circuit designer, so hardware hacking is not beyond him. I also have other friends who could help. I think a funky-looking homebrew product is actually preferable to a commercial one, since who's going to steal it?

EDIT: thanks for the answers so far. I think some commercial units do work with passive tags at that distance (say, 5 meters), but I'll have to recheck.

The trunk can be open; that's not a problem.
I can totally see it happening where someone hits print for the color printer on the other side of the office expecting 4 or 5 pages, but upon arriving at the printer after a short walk sees a stack of pages yet it still hasn't finished.

HR later sends out an email regarding the printing of PDFs unnecessarily. Think of the trees that could be saved by not printing.

Personally, I love my Pentax K1, but I do hope that you don't let yourself not using your "real" camera keep you from taking photos in general. A lot of great work has been done with phones. I will admit that the process of working with an SD card (or film) has a very specific feel to it, compared to the way processing cellphone photos are, but there is merit in each. You shouldn't feel guilt in using one over the other, if that's what works for you.

I try to think of my phone as my "just in case" camera, and my DSLR camera as my "purpose-focused" camera. I take cellphone pictures for the unexpected or casual moments. I take DSLR photos for specific reasons, to get myself out of the house and into the environment, or at a pretty location, or just out in public walking around. I haven't really had the motivation to use my DSLR in probably a full year at this point, and, although I would love to do so, it's not a purchase that I regret. It will wait until I'm ready, and I'm okay with that.

Similarly, it's entirely reasonable to buy a camera just to have it. Some people in the hobby just like to collect the equipment. If people can do it with dolls, shoes, guns, or comic books, there's no reason you can't do it with cameras, provided you can afford it and it doesn't strain your relationship with your spouse.
Ask HN: A social app for remote workers/ nomads to buddy up for activities?
Hey, I'd love your thoughts. I'm building an app which allows digital nomads and remote workers to find other people who share their interests, e.g., surfing, rock climbing, hiking.
The search works based on location (near me or specific hub, e.g. Corralejo) or interest (surfing, cycling, etc.).

The goal is to find likeminded digital nomads/ remote workers online, ask questions on top spots for activities, and eventually buddy up for sport/ outdoor activities in real life instead of the usual drinks and social hangouts. It's about building a network as a nomad based on shared outdoor interests.

I find that as a remote worker if you move a lot it becomes hard to build and maintain a community, so thought an app like this could help.

What do you think? You can see the beta for free here: https://bit.ly/3zpF4Kq

Thanks!
I'm having trouble understanding why you're so bothered by people having a quick round of communication or two before deciding forking is necessary, when it's possible it may not be.

Ask HN: How to deal with an asshole colleague?
Ex-googler (sorry but it seems there's a pattern with these guys), neurotic, huge ego-issues, never apologizes, insulting and demeaning behavior, completely incapable of _exchanging_ views and a master of destructive criticism. That's my colleague (and team lead) in my new(ish) role.

The manager is doing nothing to control this a$$hole despite the matter being raised. Maybe he's startstruck by his googleyness or some other gaslighting technique of his.

Now, I'm at the verge of quitting because I'm getting tired of needing 2 days to decompress from 1 day at work. OTOH it is a bit fucked up to quit a job especially these days because of a reluctant manager and an a$$hole colleague.

Are there peer reviewed papers or something on Arvix that explicitly dive into the "beyond high school level of biology" where sex is not defined at the cellular level (wrt Autosomes)? I am not interested in debating the sociological version, to be perfectly honest.
I would say, given the sum total output we've seen by the author (a blog with two articles), they have no idea what it means, other than a vague sense that it is some kind of sick burn.

They had to delete the tweet which awarded a specific named transwoman "man of the year award". The tweet was cruel identity-based harassment and not worthy of defense, but it for some reason seems to have radicalized a certain segment of the tech elite. In fact it may very well have been the inciting event that led to Musk's purchase of twitter.

Anyway, having to delete your harassment tweet in order to keep tweeting is not a Maoist struggle session
I think Facebook's issue is more a complete lack of confidence by public investors in its CEO. When a CEO with absolute control takes the company in a direction that results in massive losses that the investors aren't in favor of, the price is naturally going to tank as the liability of the CEO remaining in control becomes a significant cost that has to be priced in. In any traditional company, the CEO would probably be removed by the shareholders at this point, and a new CEO would be appointed to get rid of the massive loss generating projects while enacting policies that support the stock price (like starting to pay dividends). Zuckerberg hasn't made any noises about paying dividends, so the only direction for the stock to go for now appears to be down.

It's hard to convey how and why I am so attached to mechanical watches. I'd say that looking down and seeing the pallet fork dance like a skeleton and the balance wheel spin in perfect time makes me feel like everything in the universe is deterministic and I don't have to worry so much. This tiny bit of ingenious engineering on my wrist brings me great comfort. When I don't have it on I am more likely to feel depressed or anxious.

It is for this reason I wear my favorite mechanical watch every day (currently I am infatuated with the 44mm Zenith DEFY El Primero 21 with a skeleton dial) so I rarely run into the problem this author describes. It also doesn't have any complicated functions that must be set (the sole additional feature is a timing mechanism that uses a separate movement and power reserve), so in the rare case I am not wearing it for a couple days I don't have to spend a lot of time fiddling with it. This guy should get a watch winder though. And have someone install a sapphire glass crystal after market (or do it himself if he wants to have some fun). And uhh, you can shower in that thing bro (just don't press the buttons while you are showering, this can create a gap in the seals). It is fine.
