RN here who’s used a VeinViewer in practice. Technology is neat, but intimidating to a lot of staff who are the “influencers” of a nursing unit.

It was useful to sight deeper veins you couldn’t normally find using your usual techniques.

However, the projected image had a bit of lag to be annoying, and you had to position your hands a certain way to be out of view of the camera as you worked.

The version of the VeinViewer I used had a bright green projected image, which made too much of a contrast and made it tricky to work with the projected image. Newer versions have a white projection which is less annoying.

After a few uses, I adapted my technique to use the VeinViewer to sight a vein, mark the vessel with a pen, and then, with the VeinViewer out of the way, proceed with my usual technique.

If a patient requires a lot of bloodwork, they will usually be referred to have a PICC inserted anyway which takes away the muss and fuss of peripheral IV draws.
I don't want to dispute your experience, just add that in my experience, the game pad was perfect* for Batman: Arkham City. You would look down at it in the same situations where Batman would look down at his gadgets. So even though the game pad wouldn't work well for every game or every person, I think it had undeniable inherent benefits in some situations.

* They bungled the audio aspect, though. If you played with headphones, you couldn't route game pad audio through them.
You should be more concerned about a “Project Mayhem” attack in that case.
Still learning about the tenets of this philosophy here, nor do I have a position on it yet, so might get this wrong... However, isn't there a more charitable argument you could make that looks something like this:

4. Unlike with cavemen and Socrates' time, we now have decisions to make that could lock us out of continued proliferation of human life in the future. As such, the longtermists are bringing attention to those, and trying to help us to make the right decisions, instead of focusing resources on short-term returns.

A good example they might support would be spending more money on space tech and less on food for Africa. Resources aren't limitless, and some aren't renewable at all, so we have to use those wisely to position our heirs such that they could take the next step.

They might also make the slightly more tenuous claim that since we know more about the nature of the universe, there could be some invariants that we'll certainly need to see through this vision (e.g., establishing self-sustaining life off the planet). Those will be true in the future, just as the caveman could have assumed we would still need food and shelter of some kind in present day.

Main thing I used mine for was continuing to play a game when someone else wanted the TV; I could just switch to "display on controller" and keep going. Not such a big deal these days but back then it was pretty nice!
Windwaker HD and Twilight Princess HD both let you have the map on the tablet while you play, and while I haven't tried it myself I'm told it's better than switching from one screen view to another.

On the Wii U only the tablet has motion controls, the pro controller does not, so at a minimum the game was designed to have you hold a tablet and make motions with it while Link holds his tablet and acts out that motion.

Valid point. I wasn’t thinking about carrier aircraft.
> Why are they still fundraising so aggressively in such a situation?

They've got many millions of users and billions of page views, so if all it takes is a little banner to bring in millions of dollars, and a little, slightly deceptive tweak to the language to bring in millions more...do you really expect them to decline that opportunity? What real, measurable incentives do they have to not fundraise? You can hardly blame those grant applicants when they ask their really, really rich friend for some support or a day or two of fundraising to achieve that support.

There aren't financial or legal consequences, especially for the smaller group doing the asking.

It's really hard, especially in 2022, at the level of a global multi-million dollar, multi-billion page view organization to make decisions on vague, difficult to measure concepts like ethics and reputation.

It also has a positive impact.

I think people are way too quick to "throw the baby out with the bath water" when it comes to prison reform.

Yes, private prisons are bad (although, worth noting that private prisons are like 8% of total prisons - a relatively small problem).

Yes, over-prosecution of non-violent crimes is a problem.

The solution is not to let murderers and rapists go free. Over half of all inmates are in prison for violent crime. There are bad people out there. I think it is sickening that people would prioritize the happiness of a murderer over the safety of society. Violent offenders are very likely to re-offend and to escalate their violence.

The Wikimedia Endowment has amassed $100 million in five years, half the time anticipated, and there has never been a single audited financial statement or Form 990 disclosure, because the money is stashed away with the completely opaque Tides Foundation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2...

The public has no way of knowing how much Tides is paid to host the fund (and the Wikimedia Foundation refuses to say when asked), nor is there any way of knowing whether and to whom any money from this fund has been paid out. Even if there is no abuse, this sort of set-up is so clearly vulnerable to abuse that one wonders why anyone would choose it.
I wish the Left experienced the same, then. Large, influential accounts calling for white genocide and education camps publicly with no consequences or media backlash is a travesty.

I did some brief googling after reading your comment and I did find one article showing clientside protobuf being faster than JSON[0]. However they didn't isolate parsing - the only thing they measure is total request time to a Java spring application, so the JSON slowdown will include the Java JSON serialisation overhead as well as the request size/network overhead. My instinct is that these two will heavily favour protobuf making the JSON parse still likely to be faster.

It also shows a difference of 388ms (protobuf) vs 396ms (JSON) which is pretty negligible. Certainly not orders of magnitude.

Do you have other sources?

Do they detect the sound of a motorcycle coming up on them? The sound of a car near you with a flat tire which simultaneously tells you that they will likely make sudden movements to pull over to the shoulder and also to be aware of road hazards that can flatten your tires as well? The sound of brakes locking up tires several cars ahead which tells you to slow down even before the brake lights on the car in front of you illuminate? The sound of detritus hitting the underside of your car which tells you there's likely a larger object ahead that you can't see? There are all sorts of sounds that you're constantly hearing ans subconsciously reacting to.

> I don't like Rust because it seems overly bloated (the recommended way to parse command-line arguments - "clap" - involves downloading 400 megabytes of dependencies off crates.io, which just seems unreasonable), although the borrow checker is a very interesting idea.

https://lib.rs/crates/clap states that the code itself is 1MB, and the maximal amount of dependency code is 7mb, with all optional features enabled.
Ask HN: How to intentionally throttle CPU on a M1 MacBook?
Hi everyone,

I recently had no choice but to upgrade to an M1 Macbook from an Intel-based one. I did not want to upgrade, as I’m working on a software for which performance on mid-range machines is critical, but unfortunately the previous laptop gave up on me. Since M1 macbooks are so much more powerful than previous generations, is there a way to intentionally slow it down to be able to test my program on a slower machine? One way I can think of, is to run the program inside a VM, but that would slow down the development loop.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Now I have the following list of tricks to try (collected from the thread):

- taskpolicy -b -p [pid]

- macOS low power mode (which can even be enabled when plugged in)

- VM with limited CPU and RAM, and shared filesystem with host OS.

- Buy older laptop (not an option at this point, really)

- Stress the machine by compiling the Rust compiler in parallel :)

Using compression like this for storage is kind of going back to ancient times when songs and stories were passed down through people listening, learning and re-telling them.

I use solarized light everywhere. It sounds silly because everyone likes using a dark theme but I do it on purpose because I'm often coding from a bus stop or somewhere else outside. With a light theme it's much easier to see the screen even with full sun and glare on the screen. This is not possible with the dark theme.

I also have glare coming through a window at work that is in a new office and so there's no window blinds yet. The solarized light theme helps me continue to be able to see what's on my screen no matter what's happening and I appreciate that.

I'll switch back to a dark theme if I need to when I'm on a long trip and it's at night and I'm in the car so I don't disturb the driver with my screen.

I like that I can switch back and forth with using the same theme and that the light theme is so well thought out.
Python (or at least, the implementation used 99% of the time in the real world) doesn’t have a JIT either, so this property isn’t limited to niche, dying languages.
> personally it seems strange they wouldn't send a simple probe

If we detected something we thought was intelligent life, could we send a probe like you describe? Our nearest star is 4 light years away.
The air raid siren he's talking about though, that goes off all the time, I think; I don't keep a phone, so I don't know directly, but I've seen it a number of times on other people's phones.
1) Agreed. I specifically used the word "historically" to indicate that it has been the case in the past, but is not necessarily the case going forward.

2) Unmentioned, but sort of obvious, is that the immigration groups that Europe is adding aren't necessarily the same ones that the United States has. There can be significant differences in how different cultural groups react to different situations so the comparison between America/Europe is still much more complex than just saying "both groups have diversity now so they should be alike in every way".
You have it backwards. NASA is actually really good at exploring other stuff in our solar system. They have sent probes to all kinds of places, recently direct imaging Pluto with New Horizons.

Their budget is actually absurdly large. The problem is they are mandated to engage in vanity projects like Artemis, which don't do anything to contribute to science at all.
Thank you! Yeah, something like bumpalo would work just fine right now but for the future this is a great interface:

let mut v = Vec::new_in(&bump);

Deindustrialization was mostly done in the 1970s, with factory employment as a share of the labor force peaking in the 1950s. Moreover a strong dollar lowers the cost of imported inputs, say iron ore, so it isn’t all bad news for manufacturing. Exports also aren’t the only markets for finished goods.

I’d also point out that the US manufacturers more cars than ever, and makes basically as much steel as it ever has. Sure, no one sees t-shirts anymore.

Take PayPal or Wise. User A sends $100 USD to User B, and the payment network takes a $1 fee. User A now has -$100 USD and User B has $99 USD. If you add -100 + 99 it might seem like money disappears, but that remaining $1 of value has gone to the network as a fee for services rendered, and it was something that both parties were willing to pay.

Even here, both users are short USD, but it is not a "negative sum" system as the users gain some positive value by having the payment processor transfer and secure their funds. If the only metric is how much USD a buyer has left, every visit to the bakery would be a negative sum game.

In the above example, PayPal and Wise are User C. In a permissionless blockchain, User A and B can both also opt to be validators and receive these protocol rewards, so there may not even be a User C that extracts rent on each transaction.

Interesting history, but this article's argument hinges on the assumption that there is an obligation for authors to acknowledge and praise their predecessors in a particular genre, and that failing to do so is somehow dastardly. I don't agree.

I had never heard of the Porter sisters, but I just went and sampled some of their work on Project Gutenberg, and I suspect the main reason that they are forgotten is that their books are melodramatic and not especially well-written. A taste:

> How often, as a cloud obscured for an instant the moon's light, and threw a transitory shade across the path, did her heart bound with the thought that her watching was at an end! It was he whom she had seen start from the abrupt rock! They were the folds of his tartan that darkened the white cliff! But the moon again rolled through her train of clouds and threw her light around. Where then was her Wallace? Alas! it was only a shadow she had seen! the hill was still lonely, and he whom she sought was yet far away! Overcome with watching, expectation, and disappointment, unable to say whence arose her fears, she sat down again to look; but her eyes were blinded with tears, and in a voice interrupted by sighs she exclaimed, "Not yet, not yet! Ah, my Wallace, what evil hath betided thee?" [0]

U.S. workers have gotten less productive – no one is sure why
Not even organise / coordinate, that's not the most important thing that I get from the best manager, actually that's the easy part.

The best managers I had were helping me debug things when I get stuck. When there's a seg fault in a multithreaded program, or the project just doesn't seem to go anywhere for some time because I don't really know what to do or I'm going in a bad direction with my local improvements, somebody more mature than me / person with more experience just knows what to do.
Same. I regularly switch between light and dark mode. For me, dark feels more comfortable in the short-term, but I find that I can't use dark for an entire day. Anyways, I previously used solarized. It's very pleasant for a certain period of time, but like many color themes that I like, it doesn't actually "scale" in the sense that I can't use it for extended periods of time. Gruvbox, on the other hand, I can use for very long stretches.
For me it's mostly been gambling companies that I've abstained from working for.
Developing for "legacy" BIOS is easier at this point because there is less legacy to implement (Windows binaries, Win64 ABI, FAT file system). EFI is a huge pain osdev-wise and thats why nobody wants to do it.
I don't know of any evidence that the Internet as a whole suffered outages due to 9/11, but I can certainly believe that individual web sites and/or ISPs would have struggled.

Maybe your ISP didn't have a fast enough backbone connection to support all of its customers, or maybe one of its internal routers became overloaded. Or maybe it literally didn't have enough phone lines to support all of the customers simultaneously dialing in.
If you put it like that, the other side will then disingenuously argue that this is "tyranny of the majority" and "democracy is designed to protect the minorities". This law just seeks to correct the imbalance of power between 2 groups - the consumers and the corporates - that has developed in modern society. That's the whole point of democracy - the continued negotiation of power between the groups that make up the society. Consumer rights is not a radical new concept in any democracy. Right to Repair is just a necessary extension of consumer rights, and will evolve depending on how the political leadership successfully negotiates between the affected parties.

How are you going to work on long term plans with elections every 2 or 4 years?

Every politician is always looking to the next election, not to the longer term. The lack of "next election" pressure gives sortition the advantage in looking to the future instead of the short term.

Elections are what drive corruption and short term thinking.
