Vaccines to save us from ourselves ? I’m not sure about this one.

Why tackle the effect when we need to address the root causation ? Why is a person abusing opiates to begin with and how can we help them without enabling them further?

I once held a LAN party in my parents three car garage. In the middle of summer lol.

Used Netgear 10/100 switches that we found dumpster diving in a tech park type area. My father (career engineer) even helped me run Cat 5E to the garage and install a jack.

After the 10th person or so showed up we blew the first circuit 15A circuit :) Learned pretty quickly how to fix that issue.
Hmpf, analogies are crutches. Carpenters don’t use them so I don’t use them. Just use the right-sized hammer for the nail in front of you.
"nothing to do" is not true.

Holmes and Balwani were indicted for crimes both for medical claims and claims to investors

It's just that they were convicted only on the financial charges.

Also, I think it's vert likely the medical fraud made the priority of this case significantly higher. It's the kind of thing that makes people mad and prosecutors pay attention.
I’m guessing #ASM does the assembly at read or load time?

Does it desugar to something like this?

(assemble ‘((mov rax %x) (add rax 1)))

Anyhow I think this is a great project. I hope you share it! I’ve often thought bootstrapping an assembler with lisp macros would be an interesting way to build a compiler from the very ground up. Assembler macros are nothing new, but I’ve never heard of an homoiconic implementation.
Except for a small percentage of the population who have coordination problems or find driving extremely stressful, operating a gearbox is not something which extends the length of driver training.

It takes far longer to learn how to navigate traffic situations and maneuvers than to learn how to change gear. Driving standards in the UK are high and a single error when changing lanes or negotiating a junction can result in a test failure.
If you want more pics of LAN parties, the IU Gaming Club has a gallery of events going back 20 years! https://gaming.indiana.edu/gallery.html The club is still going strong and is having a mini-event the first weekend in December.
I took a drivers ed class where we had a steering wheel contoller and pedals hooked up to a computer. It was essentially a really boring version of Cruisin' USA where we had to go from point A to B while staying in the lines and stopping at stop signs. We eventually did get to pilot a real car after several weeks.

This was back in the late 90s in the Midwest of the US.
At the end of the day, people would like to be entertained with as little effort as possible. That’s how we got to the current system. Largely speaking, people are not sick of Twitter, they’re sick of the current ruler. If Mastodon can reduce the friction and be more engaging then it might have a chance. If it’s not possible to do that without becoming everything that’s wrong with Twitter then it may be true that we have the best system already.

This is similar to how some people want a new economic system because they’re sick of capitalism but it turns out it’s very difficult to improve on it without causing a great deal more suffering.
Okay I'll be the first to say it - having a working virtualized DOM and Dev Tools on your virtualized desktop themed site is pretty slick. Well done man!

That is how Twitter worked a decade ago. It is _very much_ not how Twitter works now.
This seems a bit extreme. Historically there have been capable leaders in their 70s. Palmerston, for example, was 80 when he died as Prime Minister: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_John_Temple,_3rd_Viscoun...

My assumption is that the list was automatically generated and contained many pages that met the aize criteria but were error messages, place holders, or other uninteresting things like a curse word repeating down the page, or worse, tiny POCs for CVEs
> It would just be a lousy sequel rehashing the same crap over and over again.

Exactly this. This was the whole point of Musk's Trump survey and so on, to keep the Trump saga on Twitter going.
I tried doing this, but the sheer length of the list completely scared me shitless. It contributed to my endless feeling of not having enough time.
I have never been comfortable with direct eye contact but the funny thing is that I am often complemented on my eyes, which feels kind of weird but also makes me realize how other people can judge you in ways you wouldn't normally consider.
Government spent massively during Covid through borrowing, that's not QE.

Edit: Level of QE does not imply that the government did not take on massive debts as well. It's not one or the other.
I’m firmly in the camp of not wanting to hear anything more from Trump in my lifetime, but I do wonder if there is any ideological side to this from Musk.

It’s not clear at all that Trump coming back to Twitter is good for him, or for Republicans. Banning him I think took a lot of the bad side of the conservative culture out of the spotlight and bringing him back will make it front and center again. A consistent message I saw from Republicans was his policies aren’t bad but could he just stop Tweeting. It will get ugly but if Trump is able to rile DeSantis up into a public fight, it will probably be bad for discourse but good for Democrats.

The ideological piece would be the bad ideas and sunlight thing. Trump, as an important voice in the Republican Party should be visible so people can vote against him if they so choose.
> I'd say that eye-contact is just one of those things you need to train for.

But for why and what if I'm not into martial arts? Just for social norms and studies that say only then I am really engaged and pay attention, which is definitely not true for me?
And then on #14 is another FTX executive that donates exclusively to republicans.
A friend of mine did this too many times. He is in rehab now. His wife left him, his liberal left kids commited suicide etc. Harsh times.
At my company, Homebrew is the de facto package manager for Mac. My team doesn't prefer constant rolling updates, but we do work around them. Have you polled users in any way to be sure that 99% of them consider this a feature, and not an issue they have to deal with?

Yeah but why turn the screw with Horizon? The Swiss input far more into Horizon than they got out - more damaging to the EU than the Swiss - should have turned another screw.
[-] collapses the replies so that you can easily see what's next. On reddit the equivalent functionality is a button literally called "hide child comments."

But as another comment mentioned, you can click root | parent | prev | next to get navigated through the thread. Personally, I prefer the collapse, though, as having the top of my screen move without my direct control is a bit jarring, but there's more functionality from these buttons.
Wheels are coming off the Climate bullshit they keep peddling and this lab grown meat being cancer cells is a fantastic bit of news for me. No way that catches on in the mainstream.
>open up existing home automation systems\

Most people don't have existing home automation systems to any significant degree and have very little interest in same. Devices are not remotely able to do the vast majority of the housekeeping cleanup/organizing/etc. things that I would like someone/something to do for me. I only have a single smart light because it doesn't have a convenient wall switch.

Blaming “Toryism” is pretty odd. You think the economic problems affecting the UK started in the last decade?

To me this seems to be the product of Blair-era Labour, which gutted the country by shipping jobs and industrial capacity to Eastern Europe and China.

Populist nationalism is rising throughout the western world. It’s a reaction to the failings of globalist liberalism, not the cause of those problems.
That is true, but I believe this to be irrelevant for what is happening. Switzerland is not funding the shortfall which means that for researchers the game has changed as a result that topic is hot in Switzerland still, in the EU not.
For some people terms like "Brutally honest", "telling it like it is", "no BS" don't seem to have much to do with truth at all. It's more about not being kind or tiptoeing around anyone's feelings when you say whatever BS comes to your mind.
Ask HN: Is there something like teachyourselfcs for other sciences?
Hey HN, I am currently trying to learn biology and chemistry.

For computer science, there are a lot of great autodidactic curricula like teachyourselfcs.com which also show you open lectures by major ivy league institutions.

Is there something like that for other stem majors as well? I am really lost in combining concepts I learn by depth first searching wikipedia entries.
> I don't understand why they keep bringing this up when they talk about fentanyl.

Because when the lethal dose is 2 mg, it's very easy for a careless dealer to make a bad mix and kill their customers. Fentanyl is cheap so you can cut everything with it to make it "stronger", but then you have some end user that usually consumes weaker stuff getting a deadly dose of fentanyl by accident.
I think the plan has always been - let London grow and let everything else wither away and die.
Yes but evolution took that many years to build humans.
I'm zooming out here and recognizing we are just another outgrowth of nature doing its thing.
Mentions are also listed in the message metadata, in the allowed_mentions field, therefore it should be very easy for Discord to strip mentions of deleted users' IDs.
> Reading about what has been happening over the past years in the UK while sitting in the US is really strange. Sometimes it feels like reading about a cartoonish banana republic in a novel aimed at young teenagers.

that's funny as that's exactly what we think about the US (especially its political system)

this was particularly terrifying to watch: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-us-canada-63417249
I get what you're saying, but Google still fucked it up. If you tell Google "set a timer for 2 minutes" it counts down 120 seconds. If you tell Google "set an alarm for 2 minutes" it creates a clock alarm at a minute boundary between 1 and 3 minutes ahead, and is unlikely to be what you want.

The point being, if you set an alarm/timer for "N minutes" it should be a countdown. If you set an alarm/timer for "3pm" it should be a clock setting. It shouldn't matter which word you use.
Sorry, "temporal reasoning" is not on the table. And if someone is having problem dealing with loops then recursion must be completely beyond them and rocket science.

The examples you give are symptomatic of usage patterns, and the tools you name lend themselves to copy-paste constructs for beginners. That is all.

p.s.

> non-programmers will happily write extremely complex Excel spreadsheets, SQL queries and even Pandas/Jupyter notebook

but for the life of them would not be able to troubleshoot if the copy-paste operation had a hiccup.
> On HN, the filtering is done by others (mostly: you can filter by “Show HN”, “Ask HN”, new, etc.)

That's why I read HN via Serializer (disabled all other websites), because I don't really wanna curated HN homepage from certain brigades and I wanna choose what I read and what _I_ find interesting. You can also get your individual URL to share across devices, which I find very useful.

If you think owners have an equal voice with users, then you need to reevaluate your understanding of society.
Yeah this is a common issue for people who move across cultures.

I had a boss who said he only hires a certain ethnic group because they always take on more work and never say no.

He had 2 of these people end up in hospital and a formal accusation of bullying against him... my conclusion was, he'd narrowed on a culture that is averse to social challenge / conflict. Where saying "no" would be socially unacceptable.

But he wasn't aware of the flip-side... that the manager is then responsible for judging the situation and not making direct requests that are impossible to refuse.
FWIW, the Justice Department investigation into Live Nation / Ticket Master was ongoing before the events of this last week. Personally I was heartened by this fact.

I think there is quite a bit of outcry about FTX, it's in every newspaper. The SEC is investigating and I'm sure many other investigations are being spun up. I can't imagine this will be let go lightly.
Those "you're muted"s really help set the mood.
Simulators for driver's ed have been around for a long time - the question here may be why you didn't use one. I learned to drive on a simulator in the Midwestern US in the '80s, and they've been around since the '60s in the UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmCk63f9So4
There's some youtube videos by Dr. Tod Grande. (I know, sue me.)

IQ is about 4% of what makes up your personality. So whatever your intelligence is within a standard deviation, other factors are much more important.

TL:DR; it's better to be a track star with a big d*k than a fat genius in a basement apartment.
LMAO the supply chain attack potential is epic. Oopsie the author of leftpad clicked the wrong button and now an unknown entity owns their package and just updated it with malicious content!
I write synthetic biology software for a living and maintain this open source, Go package for engineering DNA that has high test coverage and a nice little dev community around it.

https://github.com/TimothyStiles/poly

A large part of my project's community are devs that want to get into the field but can't tolerate the ridiculously low pay, laughably bad management, disrespect, and what amounts to 40+ years of technical debt that's endemic to biotech software.

I've had companies here in the Bay Area offer me 100K a year with a straight face. I've had companies during interview tell me they're looking for someone to help, "set up GitHub". I've seen job listings for low paid web dev positions require applicants to have PhDs.

The reality is that except for a growing handful of places management straight up won't know the difference between IT and software engineers. It's what I call the naive buyers problem.

The demand for software engineers in biotech is generated by naive buyers that don't know what they need, why they need it, or how to get it.

Benchling and Recursion Pharmaceuticals have reputations in the industry of paying, "standard software salaries". So do the research divisions at places like deepmind/microsoft/google but in my experience there's even new multi-billion dollar institutes where senior management has never even heard the term devops.

Most places advertise for "data scientist", positions or some analog, instead of software engineers. This is mostly because upper management has never met an actual practicing software engineer in a professional setting. Many come from academia where the culture and work requirements heavily disincentivize standard software engineering practices.

It's also not uncommon for a biotech company to either have a very under qualified CTO whose main programming experience is what they learned doing ML research like stuff during their PhD or not even have one at all which has huge downstream consequences.

This week a software engineer trying to make the switch to biotech actually DM'd me to ask why they were seeing a ton of data science / ML job positions but no software engineering / devops positions.

They were worried that these companies were trying to save on costs by forcing their data scientists to create infrastructure but it's actually worse than that. Most of these companies aren't even aware that there's supposed to be infrastructure.

Despite all of this the future is looking better and I'm starting to find new companies and positions that are well... reasonable. I learned about this thread from a friend at a party last night that works at one of these companies. There's a small, strong new wave of companies and developers out there pushing biotech software forward. Hopefully some (including myself) make it big while pushing the idea that better tech equals better biotech.
Without sugar which sticks to artery walls like little daggers, the cholesterol itself cant stick to artery walls fortunately.
I'd disagree. The use of bogus psychometrics is not socially neutral. It's used to filter applications to university courses, jobs, and so on. They make a systematically, imv disasterous, effect on the lives of everyone they come into contact with.

IQ tests are only a clincally valid test of extreme mental deficits. They do not correlate with objective measures of above-average performance, and have created a "metrical culture" with severe unethical concequences.
Yes, I think loudly messaging that fraud will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law will discourage others from doing the same.

And that the US government will investigate all Centralized exchanges to the extent possible, regardless if it’s within their jurisdiction.

And that Tether will be audited.

Or we can silently pursue the case for 3 years and allow many new forms of fraud to flourish in the crypto space.

A quiet pursuit is somewhat comparable to an implicit endorsement in my mind
Supermarket shelves in the Bay Area are full enough, but many full product lines are missing.
My gut feeling is that media (and other) figures are still figuring out how to deal with the cognitive dissonance between their self-perceived intelligence and the fact that the whole crypto-space is a gigantic freaking scam — which has been quite evident to many for years.
I don't think they're being allowed to leave the Bahamas.

This seems very widely reported in the media, it was the feature story in The Economist this week and had multiple articles in it. Didn't a lot of other new revelations on this come out of reporting by Financial Times and Vox as well?

It's also being investigated by the SEC and DoJ.
The FT journalist Stephen Bush had a great tweet along these lines, although his point was more about how we write about other countries:

'Analysts believe that the return of 'Bambo' Johnson, the controversial strongman whose protectionist policies have been criticised for the country's sluggish growth rates, will bring little respite to the troubled country.'

Actual fentanyl is used widely in medical settings though. I had a surgery last week and received it quite a few times during anesthesia and after. I received Morphine a number of times during the recovery as well, but presumably there is a reason they chose to use the former during surgery & early recovery.
Poe's Law.

If you want to make a serious argument that's understood, then perhaps avoid the hyperbole.

Without the hyperbole, though, the argument seems to fall apart, because there are many car models that are significantly cheaper than Teslas.
Indeed, this labour party does not support strikes, supports clamping down on protest, etc. and when Labour parry was appreciably different, it was piloried in the press.
Your commment reminded me of a quote from The Score, a 2001 film with Robert De Niro.

”You want my advice? Make a list of everything you want now and spend the next twenty five years getting it, slowly, piece by piece.”
Sure, but in this specific case you kind of have to assume that Twitter wasn’t on fire already and was well planned and addressing setbacks. I think a fair metaphor could be that there was a bunch of folks enjoying the warmth the flames on the tree in front of them, but ignoring the blazing forest around them.

I think in that case creating a deadline of “we need to put this fire out before it consumes the entire forest” and motivating a bunch of smokejumpers hop in and bust their ass to save the forest isn’t a bad thing.
I can imagine a whole genre of these, like Madonna and Child.
Peterson got banned from Twitter for attacking a public figure and libelling a doctor. After having recently been temp-banned for attacking another public figure. I mean, while it's not a description I'd use myself (I'd be going more for "Peterson is an arsehole with poor self-control") it doesn't seem that unreasonable.
Recently I dug out the source code for a game a friend and myself made in school in 1997. It was amazing to compile it, which it did flawlessly in a DOS/Turbo Pascal emulation. Playing it with my kids was an amazing experience. The code is definitely something I would be embarassed about from a readability/maintenance standpoint today. But on the other hand it can play back video on a 80286 processor :) And I believe everyone understands that you make progress over the years. So I can recommend it, go for it!

My game is available at Github here:

Hey Aeolun, thank you for your testing! This is the co-founder of ILLA. The automatic telemetry issue was caused by not deploying ILLA builder from CLI.
For the email verification issue, we will support customized SMTP very soon to ensure our users have 100% control of their data.
We will change our password limitation to 30 characters so that our users will have more flexibility.
The most important thing is that showing the message"Credentials will be encrypted & stored securely on our servers. Connect Type Cloud: ILLA servers will securely connect to your database" is a bug. If you deploy it locally, your data will not transfer to our server. We will fix it asap and update a version tmr. I will keep you updated once we have the bug fixed.
Sugar sticks to artery walls like little daggers. Without the sugar to cling on to the cholesterol can't stick to the artery walls.
No you're right, the UK is done. Little to no industry left, they were a nation of bankers and multinationals that exploited their former colonies. But it's not because of Brexit, COVID or Russia. It's because they never adapted and the rich in their country cared more about maintaining status than improving the country.

Look at France and Germany: industry, tech, lots of "producing" businesses thrive. Paris has even overtaken London in finance. There's simply more ambition, innovation and energy.
Rolling updates are the #1 source of "I don't understand why this isn't working anymore, it worked just fine yesterday!" and annoyances when you need a specific package version (n-2) to align with your deployment environment and Homebrew keeps updating to the bleeding edge.
