I hadn't thought of cannabis consumption as being unequivocally associated with cancer risk.

I haven't paid much attention, but there was a pretty big JAMA paper a decade or so ago that didn't demonstrate much risk at something like "a joint per day for 40 years" level consumption.

Vaping may well have its own -- perhaps even greater -- risks, but I hadn't assumed propylene glycol to be particularly carcinogenic. Is it? CDC says doesn't seem to be raising major red flags: https://wwwn.cdc.gov/TSP/ToxFAQs/ToxFAQsDetails.aspx?faqid=1...

Certainly not an area of expertise for me, I'd always thought of it as closer to a fog machine at a Halloween party than inhaling burning pieces of ash. Other than the vitamin e (?) associated illnesses a few years ago, is there good reason to think otherwise?
I think the census bureau has formal definitions at least here in the states
Ask HN: What Is a “Crypto Bro”?
I’m aware of the term and hear/read people use it all the time. But sort of feel the term doesn’t mean anything now other than negatively refer a “male involved with crypto currency”. It seems there’s a pretty common “bro” stereotype (fraternity/so-cal/etc) while Sam Bankman-Fried is being referred to as a crypto bro.

Does “bro” often seem to convey negativity now?
Yeah I'm gonna call bullshit on that one. I work daily with everyone from startups and nonprofits to big banks. They use OTel because it solves problems for them. They don't all use it the same way, but they use it.
People at Twitter with more information than either Musk or me are telling us all that he isn’t well-informed and is guided by his whims and conceit, not by facts.

I can see it being useful to type and chat between each other if we aren’t seated together on a plane.

Yeah, but then we can just fork it and, uh. Oops.

No, but really, Matrix isn't quite there yet in terms of those nice and easy community management features, but what you listed isn't quite accurate, as others have pointed out.

I would recommend: "Designing Elixir Systems with OTP: Write Highly Scalable, Self-Healing Software with Layers" ( James Edward Gray, II, Bruce A. Tate )

Erlang, and its simplified Elixir wrapper language can allow a OTP child process to continually crash while remaining operational for other users.

Some tend to get irritated by the idea of graceful fail back code. Again, something a dead-letter queue in RabbitMQ handles rather trivially.

Have a wonderful day. =)
From Jeff Bonwick, co-creator of ZFS, in 2009:

>> Apple can currently just take the ZFS CDDL code and incorporate it (like they did with DTrace), but it may be that they wanted a "private license" from Sun (with appropriate technical support and indemnification), and the two entities couldn't come to mutually agreeable terms.

One of the oldest music DBs (Last.fm) is 20 years old today: lost opportunity?
I always thought the power of last.fm is underused. For me, it is not for reviewing my top music and showing it in social media badges or doing useless analysis and visualization on my music history data. I'm not even using their recommendations engine!

Apart from musically connecting with people, there is a wealth of hidden possibilities in there (for the next 20 years !). I will share two:

- if you find a certain obscure song brilliant, you can find people who listen to it a lot, convert their top loved tracks to a streaming playlist (+ filter it by genre) and maybe find some completely unrelated gems!

- if you are in "explorer mode" or tired of hearing songs you already know on playlists (like spotify's discover weekly) you can filter playlists to only show artists or tracks you did not listen to in the last x months (and similar filters.)

You can't do this with discogs, or musicbrainz.

Do you have any last.fm hacks, hackers ?

> Our diagnosis is that individual developers do not pay for tools.

I know this first hand, building a developer tool startup and failing to reach any level of revenue. In the end, the tech was bought out by a larger company to recover a fraction of our VC investment.

The challenge is that when you're building software for developers, they already know how it must work.

It's like trying to sell magic tricks to magicians. Sell magic to regular people, and you'll see some significant revenue.

I've used Kite before. It was ok. But I am a SWE. It's entirely possible that Kite would have seen major adoption if the push was towards non-technical folks trying to get their feet wet in software. Eg: Data scientists or business.

The reason why BI tools sell so well at the moment is that you have tons of C-level execs that like the appeal of a business-optimizing tool requiring little to none of any actual software development.

Let that be a lesson to everyone. You can't blow away developers. They're just too damn ~~smart~~ well-informed.

Edit: Another anecdote: A buddy of mine built a bespoke OCR and document indexing/search tool. He has ~60 paying clients (almost exclusively law-firms and banks) that primarily work with printed pages on paper. No Saas. No free tier. The client data resides on an on-premise Windows box, avoiding issues with sensitive data in the cloud etc.

He's a solo dev with support contracts and nets something like $1000/month from each client.

For your average lawyer/paralegal, the ability to locate and reference a single page from thousands of pages in under a second is magic. So they pay for it wholeheartedly.
> I have ADHD and I straight-up don't do silence.

Same exact experience.
I pay out of pocket for a JetBrains license because it makes me a LOT more productive. I don't spend money on a lot of dev tools, but if it saves me non-trivial time, it's a no-brainer.
The bigger issue is the template overloading in the first place that makes libraries like boost possible.

> So when you're designing an observability system, the whole ball game is about capturing and constraining the cardinality of that metadata.

If your world is only time series databases that struggle with cardinality, then sure. Fortunately, there's a lot more tools out there, some of which do just fine with high cardinality data.

I don't really agree much with your entire comment. I think you're looking at observability through the lens of 2010s-era tools, and falling deeply into the trap of thinking that this is the only way to do things.

Since the protocol appears to use adhoc synchronization, the authors might be interested in https://github.com/sipa/minisketch/ which is a library that implements a data structure (pinsketch) that allows two parties to synchronize their sets of m b-bit elements which differ by c entries using only b*c bits. A naive protocol would use m*b bits instead, which is potentially much larger.

I'd guess that under normal usage the message densities probably don't justify such efficient means-- we developed this library for use in bitcoin targeting rates on the order of a dozen new messages per second and where every participant has many peers with potentially differing sets--, but it's still probably worth being aware of. The pinsketch is always equal or more efficient than a naive approach, but may not be worth the complexity.

The somewhat better known IBLT data structure has constant overheads that make it less efficient than even naive synchronization until the set differences are fairly large (particular when the element hashes are small); so some applications that evaluated and eschewed IBLT might find pinsketch applicable.
the use case is on-demand one-off sessions, so renting servers doesn't make sense.
This is good feedback. The game is intended to have a difficulty setting per round, from easy to hard, but yes perhaps a 5% difference on a $1 item is just pure guessing. I'll tweak this.
I reread the article just then and while he does indeed mention that pumping can be done "easily" he never calculates the energy cost associated with it.

In the 5th paragraph of the section titled "what?" He says that "even including pumping and 25% solar utilization, just 20,000 acres of solar panels ... would be adequate to power 100% of arizonas imported water", but he doesn't actually derive that figure. He doesnt calculate the pumping costs.

So yes, I think its fair to say that he neglected pumping costs
Companies Brace for Onslaught of New Activists After Change in Proxy-Voting Rule
If it's not enough for district heating because of the distance and heat losses, it could be enough for a greenhouse right next to a DC.

Economically the greenhouse would have a distinct advantage of using free heat, and already having enough electricity wired nearby.

This, of course, only makes sense during cold seasons, or somewhere like Alaska or Sweden. During hot months, 40-50°C of heat seem completely useless.

Maybe next to a sea such waste heat could help evaporatively desalinate seawater, while cooling back to reusable temperatures.
I think I would leave any platform that added most of these and that it is better for IRC to stay as-is so people like me have places to chat. People like you already have Discord/etc.
> they only survived because they were better at politics than the Aztecs, and made many regional alliances. And because they got extremely lucky.

According to 1491, this myth is inaccurate. I believe Mann's argument is more along the likes of "if Genghis Khan came through Europe during the black plague, none of us would be speaking Romance languages".

I am also sure bringing a disease that wipes out 30-90+% of your enemy should not be considered luck.

I do believe the metaphor is apt, because it's a story of leaders who come in loud, destroy things, but are lauded as civilizers or advancers of humanity. We have no counterfactual for post-1491 in the Americas, but there are reasonable arguments that indigenous people were more advanced in a number of fields.

Why should you push for legalization?
I would add the momentum of resources has not only made programmers lazy, but has produced a cultural momentum for inefficiency in almost every aspect of computing. Personally I've watched the amount of information and functionality in a given amount of screen space plummet in my lifetime. Pull down the quick settings menu in Android 13 and it uses a three inch by five inch rectangle to show...eight buttons. Windows 11 won't show you the names of the windows you have open unless you edit the registry. What the hell is happening to us?

I used it for about two weeks total, over two different periods. Mostly Kotlin, Java, Typescript, small amounts of Groovy. I ended up turning it off. In my experience, it has moments of utility, but most of time it felt like it was getting in the way. The kinds of things it completed well were not the kinds of things that cost a lot of time or mental energy. I found wasting more time trying to fix things that when it got close but not quite there, than it saved in spitting out boilerplate.
Man, that's so cool. When things became quiet around the GPU work and Alyssa said something along the lines of "we are very far away" I lost hope a bit. That hope is back!

In my neck of the woods, it's conveyed negativity for a rather long time.
The key point here that was hard to find is that they and others had a username containing Clyde set already, and now can't update anything else about their profile because their username has come to be considered invalid.

That's pretty poor judgement to not even communicate this to affected users
One major issue to reconcile is the granularity of data and retention. For engineers incentivized to fix problems, they need extremely high granularity, which is expensive to store long-term. Product Managers typically care more about aggregations that they want to track over a long period of time. In theory you could source these concerns from the same place, but it's challenging to do it, since you'd need to process, store, and query that data in different places. This doesn't make it impossible, and I think people should try it - but it may be too hard for a lot of organizations.

Now? It was always a negative image of someone ('bro') who is a stereotypical male overconfident of his (always male) abilities and grasp of reality in contrast to reality. The bro stereotype always existed but an increasing amount of folks migrated to crypto in the past few years leading to the crypto bro.

I might be misremembering, but I thought I read after the previous Scottish independence vote that a lot of those that wanted Scotland to become an independent country that joins the EU voted against independence because they weren't sure than an independent Scotland could gain EU membership, and so voted to stay in the UK so they could stay in the EU.

Presumably with the UK now out of the EU, many of those people would vote for independence. (And I believe Spain, which was the country people were most worried about vetoing an independent Scotland joining the EU because they don't want to encourage those regions of Spain that want to break away has since said that it would have no objection as long as Scottish independence happens in a way that is legal under UK law).

1. Long press doesn't show full history, it limits to 10-15(? Might be more). I've seen the occasional scummy background script that exploits this with numerous scripted redirects (usually pages with seo snippets cloned from SO). You have to disable the network to go back without being re-redirected, then go through a couple rounds of the back button history to get back to your original page.

2. If you're not using a full browser or are set up to keep a short history, you're basically SOL (Materialistic for HN has a built-in WebView, and I've used similar apps for other sites)

3. I shouldn't have to use history just because some site decided that it should add multiple history entries when I tried to scroll down an infinite list. I'm only on your website because it showed up in a search result, I'm not here to browse other unrelated content.
We never know quite who is funding highly innovative dual use startups, or quite why. The govt (CIA I think) funded Oracle and Google into existence solving their own problems but didn't advertise that. SpinLaunch is very dual use. The problems cited go away on the moon; and as a way to launch smart anti-tank missles etc it's already almost there. Smart artillery shells are even more expensive than a highmars missle; there's every incentive to develop something less expensive per shot but with more range than either. I could easily be wrong but I rather doubt the true purpose of this project is to compete with SpaceX.
