You can disable the checks if you want. Any application that uses the operating system API/DBus to evaluate network connectivity rather than building its own bespoke online check will probably break if you do, though.

Because all of these have to use HTTP, you can also easily override the standard network addresses in your hosts file and pick your own server if that's what you prefer.

> (1) Hue was not a good dimension for encoding magnitude information, i.e. rainbow color maps are bad.

Your inference doesnt follow from the first point. Hue is bad for magnitude because you dont see a different hue as 'more' or 'less' just 'different'. Hue is great for representing difference without defining one as a focus or preference over the other.

For ctest to work, it's necessary to start your User-Agent string with "NX NIFM/" (the console itself sends "NX NIFM/00" as an User-Agent string).
It's certainly true at all EAs aren't bad people. I'm just arguing that self identifying EAs are disproportionately bad people due to the attraction they have towards being labeled as such. Good EAs are less likely to be vocal about the label.
As I recall, the Big Deal with CVS-to-SVN migration was that many teams learned to creatively exploit the fact that CVS does versioning on a file-by-file basis. As late as 2008, I had to work in an environment where checking out different versions for different parts of the company's CVS monorepo was required to get anything to build.
you can just skip enabling internet. weirdly, on some machines this results in a reboot, but it's fine
Democracy is generally an appeal to legitimize the decision making process. It is less about allowing individuals to influence the outcome and more about PR.

Whatever the outcome, it looks better than the perfectly legitimate, "This is a private company and I can do as I please". Compare to, "I took a poll because I care about your views".

Obviously when conducting a poll the questions can be loaded or a set of false alternatives. The framing of the question is also important. Bots may also be a concern here, but the premises are more important than the minutiae.

By now Cloudflare is more of an obstacle to the free web than it is helping. A centralized entity, whose scripts from randomly named subdomains you must allow to run on your machine, or be stuck at their obnoxious "checking your browser" page endlessly reloading, because some web dev decided to put their website behind Cloudflare. Cloudflare is one of the most prominent reasons for me to simply close the browser tab and leave the site.

Well good thing regular people don't ever need to use ICUs.
It should exclusively be handled at the school district level, assuming Google provides the ability to do so. Some schools, including private one, may want to allow full Internet access, and some not.
Something I've learned about the ICU and hospitals in general when my brother was passing away is that they are not designed for large families. I have 10 siblings (9 now?) and the hospital would only allow for 3 guests at a time. The head nurse in the ICU would only allow for 2 guests at a time, parents included.

We had to fight, trick, and sneak in order for all of us to be together with him in his last days (e.g. we would loiter outside the hospital picking up discarded guest stickers and pass ourselves off as other people).

What I learned from this is that I do _not_ want to die in a hospital.
If I understand correctly, this was in federal court and they don’t do early release.
Ask HN: How to save/invest/deal with money?
I am a junior developer working at my first job as a software engineer. I'm studying in a part time model so I am studying 50% and working 50% of my time.
I get my salary every month but... What should I do with the money?
I am still living with my parents so I do not have to cover living costs, only pay them a little bit of rent. I never buy anything and I spend all my free time studying which I like. I have nearly 0 expenses. So I thought maybe it would be good to invest this "extra income" coming in every month. But where do I start?
I know nothing about finance or economy and whenever I try to look into it I don't even understand how to get started because the entry fees seem high.
I am in Europe, maybe that's relevant. I feel this money from my job is only a burden for me because all I do is have to pay the account fee to my bank... Highly appreciate any advice!

Looks interesting. I'll have to try it out. I've always liked the idea of topic based messaging. That's basically what Twitter hashtags are.

How does one limit the audience of any particular message in a topic? Are messages just visible to everyone on the server? If it's federated do your messages propagate out forever?
No op, but

I believe that once you put your website behind cloudflare it's really hard, if not imposible to get content using requests. Don't know about scraping tho.

Also, I think it's better to block unknown free domains, because (public) IPs can have thousands of devices asociated with them. Once you block a domain, the "scammer" has to buy a new one.
Right... That is from Gmail. Cloudflare has literally nothing to do with that...

Also it's not even accurate, if you setup the alias correctly that doesn't happen
Her husband is wealthy, her family is too. I'm sure the child will be fine compared to almost every other child who's parent went to prison. To be honest I think psychological development wise it's probably preferable if the child is 0-6 when their mother goes to prison than let's say 6-12.
More than 10 years ago now, I was in the ICU for myocarditis, leading to bradycardia, a very slow heart rate.

During the night, it would drop to 40 (which is still fine), but sometimes below 30, at which point my heart monitor would blare an alarm, waking me up and scaring the absolute bejesus out of me, raising my heart rate immensely. A nurse would walk in, see that I was fine, and leave again.

This occurred nightly for a few days.
https://boxprover.utr.dk

It's an online tool for writing, checking and typesetting Fitch-style proofs in first-order logic, using the Twelf proof assistant under the hood. Its main feature is that it follows the notation from the teaching material 1-1 and offers no assistance in terms of proof tactics in order to help tech the fundamentals of doing formal proofs while still providing feedback when you make mistakes.

I built it while TAing a course in logic about 7 years ago, and it is still being used to this day.

I remember my math professor at university telling me that truth in mathematics was a social construct, and that nothing was true until a social consensus had been reached between mathematicians.

This struck me at the time as a very powerful statement, yet unexpected, since very much not what most people expect from mathematics. After all, it's supposed to be a field where there is such a thing as a (most of the time) reachable truth!
Recently I’ve been using my iPad as a transcription “keyboard” for my laptop when writing documents in Dropbox paper. Open the document on both computers, then use dictate to enter all text, and then correct if necessary with the laptop. I’m expecting to move to iPad only when I can use stage manager with an external monitor.

Dictation is also great when writing in a foreign language: I speak German ok-ish, writing is harder. Dictation helps writing more correct German.
My attempt to solve for a fully decentralized web application: https://github.com/prettydiff/share-file-systems/stargazers

When I say decentralization I really mean that, not federated. It works very differently than surfing the web for content because this application, in addition to being fully decentralized, is privacy focused and never anonymous. The web is extremely opposite on all 3 points.
I spent about ten days in a UK ICU with Covid-19, so figured I'd share a few comments based on my experience. I was in a room for one person, so I've no idea who else was in there. I didn't suffer any delusions/hallucinations, other than my memories of the first night being a little hazy (which can probably be put down to being moved at 3am unexpectedly and possible hypoxia). However, after I discharged, I felt like I could still hear the <90% SpO2 alarm going off in my head constantly for _weeks_ (I spent most of the ten days struggling to maintain 90% SpO2, so it was a noise I became very familiar with).

> There are many consults, but the ICU attending is king (or queen) / Sometimes nurses are the footsoldiers of the ICU regent, and sometimes they’re governors

It's hard to say specifically was making the calls, particularly as the PPE made it a little difficult to recognise people, but it definitely felt like there was continuity of care - treatment plans were discussed well in advance, and usually didn't change unexpectedly. The recommendations from the physiotherapist and nutritionist (my appetite was virtually non-existent), as well as my own requests, were followed by all of the staff involved as far as I could tell.

> Everyone agrees that sleep is important, but nobody has any idea beyond that

I couldn't sleep for the first two nights, but beyond that, I didn't find this to be an issue. I'd go to bed around 10:30, and wasn't disturbed until about 8 o'clock the next morning. As I understand it, HR/BP/O2 monitors could be checked from an adjacent room, and most of the non-critical alarms were muted (I believe they were still audible to staff outside of my room). There were a few times staff came in to check/adjust something, but never more than once a night (that I noticed at least).

> The ICU is a good place to not die, but a bad place to recover

I'm not sure I can agree with this. I was moved back to a ward for a few days before I was discharged, and felt that I would have recovered better had I stayed in the ICU (though I understand why that's not practical). The room of eight had two dementia patients who would yell out for most of the night. Obs were taken about every three hours, which woke me every time (BP was taken with a pressure cuff rather than the arterial line which was used in the ICU, and I wasn't routinely wearing a finger sensor). As a result, I got very little sleep until I was discharged. It was also much more difficult to get the attention of staff at times.
The beauty of Windows is that everything is configurable through the registry if you look up the documentation. Usually you don't want to configure everything so in these cases Windows comes with sane defaults, but Microsoft has a way to override the URL that's being checked. See this article from eight years ago: https://www.ghacks.net/2014/02/07/disable-customize-windows-...

If you need some complicated algorithm, write a quick simple web server that runs on 127.123.45.67 and does all of these checks for you when the magical portal URL is requested. Then update your registry to point to that IP (or use hacks like editing your hosts file) and you've just added your special logic to every WinHTTP application on your computer. You can even point Windows to an endpoint only reachable over VPN if you want so the Internet check becomes "is my VPN operational", though that may break the VPN software itself.

Microsoft did a good enough job for all normal use cases of the Internet. Bespoke use cases need bespoke solutions, and they provide the ability to set that up without hacks if you want to change the standard behaviour.
With my wife, I built two kids both in college now. That's definitely the most impactful.

In the online world, I've contributed bits and pieces to open-source here and there as far back as the late 90s. I think my first contribution was to the shadow package, but I've contributed to Apache, Radius, git, random packages that I use that I discover bugs in, etc.

A python script I wrote to allow folks to bypass AT&T's residential gateway was used by more people than I ever expected:

Buddhism is not mentioned by GP, but there are many big differences between vedic religion and modern hinduism. for eg. animal sacrifice vs vegetarianism.

These ideas probably gain traction from the Sramana traditions which also gave rise to Buddhism and Jainism.

It is hard to tease apart the influences exactly, esp in the case of IVC where very little is known about the culture. But some iconography bears a striking resemblence iconography found in indian religions at a later date.
This is how CI systems have always behaved traditionally. Just install a Jenkins agent on any computer/VM and it will maintain persistent workspace on disk for each job to reuse in incremental builds. There are countless other tools that work in the same way. This also solves the problem of isolating builds if your ci only checks out the code and then launches a constrained docker container executing the build. This can easily be extended to use persistent network disks and scaled up workers, but is usually not worth the cost.

It's baffling to see this new trend of yaml actions running in pristine workers, redownloading the whole npm-universe from scratch on every change, birthing hundreds of startups trying to "solve" CI by presenting solutions to non-problems and then wrapping things in even more layers of lock-in and micro-VMs and detaching yourself from the integration.

While Jenkins might not be the best tool in the world, the industry needs a wake-up shower on how to simplify and keep in touch with reality, not hidden behind layers of SaaS-abstractions.
Yes I was talking about a pr (i.e. a collection of small diffs usually presented without much context). The smaller the pr the easier to review, but conversely the harder to see the big picture, and most tools don't give nearly enough context around the changes - I prefer to see the entire file.

Thanks for the links.
The code is so simple to read. Thanks for the inspiration.

Different ecosystem but we share Typescript type definitions between frontend and backend. That's not so bad.
>Imagine there’s another one of you. Wouldn’t you want to be friends with them?

Yeah but finding the other ones like you is incredibly difficult. People in their 30's and 40's with zero friends looking to make new ones are basically non existent where I live.
> I didn't realize that people just stop making new friends after 30 (outside work)

Nah. This is just a self-made bubble. Even without any activity outside work, you can still meet friends' friend and family's friend. There's always new people to talk to.

I've made a lot of friends outside work since adulthood, from various sources. Just last week, I made a new friend at a mutual friend's party, and played a duet together. We've scheduled to play another next month.

Another friend of mine just made 11 new friends outside of work last month, as he joined a baseball amateur league.

Just go do what you enjoy, and talk to people. If you share a common interest, and have no big clash in personality, that's probably a budding friendship.

YouTube is 99.99% backend. The video player is peanuts to the infrastructure needed to process and serve the vomit-inducing amount of data. A quick search says 183 hours of video uploaded per minute and 694,000 hours of video watched per minute, served globally and rendered to dozens of resolutions and formats, and remember that unlike, say Netflix, this covers a much wider content library. (It's much easier to keep a few hundred gigs of data on global edge CDNs than god knows how many exabytes YouTube has.)
This seems to make claims of a shortage of plutonium for deep-space RTG power systems into lies. It seems like there is plenty of Pu for all the deep space missions we could otherwise afford.
Why not point NCSI to a host that's always reachable, like a local web server? There's a lot of configuration you can do to the connection check service that won't get your antivirus all anxious (i.e. https://www.ghacks.net/2014/02/07/disable-customize-windows-...)
This is exactly backwards.

One person writes the code. Many people read the code. If something is unclear or feels wrong to the reader, they get priority. Reviewers should leave all sorts of feedback; the response of the author should be to just implement the feedback unless they can clearly articulate why doing so is not a good idea. You're right that "it's not worth the back and forth", but completely wrong on who should be the one keeping their mouth shut.
But it’s basically just simple data moving, it should be rather trivial in terms of compute power needed.
Look for local communities in your areas of interest. To some extent, you also have to put yourself out there.

>As people enter middle age, they tend to have more demands on their time, many of them more pressing than friendship. After all, it’s easier to put off catching up with a friend than it is to skip your kid’s play or an important business trip.

The sad part is that it doesn't have to be this way. The notion that friendship is something you make time for (to the detriment of your other pursuits) seems to be very modern, very Western and an absolutely terrible idea.

Just anecdotally, the friendships where people rely on one another for assistance - helping one another achieve their goals rather than hindering them - seem to get stronger and stronger whereas the "let's catch up" friends seem to wither over time.

Somewhat counter-intuitively, doing simple things like giving a friend a lift when their car breaks down, providing them with meals when they're unable to cook for themselves or helping them move house actually cause you to value the relationship more.
I'm 25 and I'd totally take it on, but you're probably looking for an actual nonprofit if you want true survivability. As someone who has used this tool for at least 10+ years (as long as I've known what an IP address is), I'd love to help make sure it stays around.

I remember working on denial-of-service protection code for an embedded device.

One problem was that if the code was TOO aggressive in protecting from a denial of service attack, you could actually help an attack or be the culprit yourself by denying legitimate traffic.

I think this is what cloudflare is doing. They are imprecise and they are denying legitimate traffic.
Could be, the date I mentioned is when I could afford buying a P166, and I didn't bother to check the interwebs for the release date, now I have gone and found it, depending on the exact variation from P5 or P6, it could have been released between 1995 and 1997.

Why would Russia need 17 years to modify their satellites?
The way this does routing leads to quite hard to read code, compare https://www.okapi.wiki/docs/todo-app:

todoAPI conn = getTodo conn <|> getAllTodos conn

with

getTodo conn = do
methodGET
pathParam @Text `is` "todos"
todoID <- pathParam @Int
...

so you need to keep in mind both the order of the alternatives in todoAPI as well as the bodies of the individual handlers. That gets unwieldy very quickly.

It also seems likely to lead to the same problems with error handling that you tend to get with combinator parsers, where you usually only get details about the last failing branch, while the interesting failure might have been an earlier one.

Quiz question (I don't know the answer): What happens to a request for /todos/foo?
No, it's from my childhood. All people i met don't have the same passion as mine. I just accepted the truth and no longer care what others do anymore.

I built a system which would notify VFX artists when their shot would be played during dailies. Prior to that there would be lines of people waiting outside of conference rooms. Afterwards you would show up, get feedback from the supervisor/director for ten minutes and then leave. When you've got a crew of thousands those time savings add up.

Very simple implementation wise: get the media player to push the playlist together with what was being played to a REST API and then have a webapp poll it (websockets weren't standardised at that point).
I don't doubt that if you live in particular parts of London or the South East, you could see 90% fairly new vehicles with automatic gears or EVs. (Certainly not all of London, but if you live or work in one area you're less likely to walk down residential roads in other areas.)

It's probably partly because disposable income is higher in London, but also because those with less money have better alternatives (good public transport) so don't own a car, or own one but don't use it much.
