> Of course macOS uses launchd [0] which I guess is somewhat similar.

It isn't. Systemd has dependencies and many directives to express them. Launchd doesn't, and instead demands that every service either waits for its dependencies by itself or crashes deliberately if they are not met - so the autorestart by means of its brute force eventually brings the system fully up.

Dutch farming is incredibly dense, but that's not the same as good.

For example, emission of ammonia, nitrogen, and phosphorus is through the roof, and pesticides aren't far behind. This kind of farming is wreaking havoc on the environment. And that's not even mentioning the massive deforestation due to imported soy, CO2 emissions for fertilizer production, and greenhouse energy use.

This kind of farming is simply not sustainable, and it will need to be scaled down in the near future.

>What is going on with China's continuing zero-covid policy?

They know Sinovac won't cut it so this is them buying time until they can get their homegrown mRNA vaccine out to the public. I'm guessing they had problems at the clinical trial stage or are struggling to get vials produced in the quantities they need.
Yes, there’s no doubt. They’ve tested multiple devices, several of them failed but the 2017 one didn’t. We know they bought the designs and materials from Pakistan, we’ve seen enough images of the process and equipment to know they were actively making progress, and we can measure the size of explosions via seismographs. We can measure the craters left behind via satellite images.

indeed, it may not be mainstream and yet the double slit experiment confirms it to be true.

Lol @ anyone thinking this is about a virus/vaccines at all. This is the perfect excuse to control social movement, dissent and to ensure their population is so afraid and broken that they can't possibly amass a sufficiently large mass to put the CCP in danger.

No, that transformation is straight-up buggy unless the compiler can also prove that n > 0 (ie by inlining the bar() function into a context where n is always positive).

If you had *p == 0 before calling bar(p, 0) then *p had better not be 1 after!

Ask HN: Indoor air quality sensors and other IoT that's local-first and not DIY?
I've recently been looking into assembling an indoor air quality monitoring system, and so far have failed to found any solution that would meet the following criteria simultaneously:

1. Connected for data logging, but local-first. That is, no mandatory Internet connection to vendor cloud. Ability to point to my own server (in my local network), or at least download a data dump off device every now and then (even if over a wire, as a last resort).

2. Not strictly industrial-use. I.e. one that doesn't require me to become a large corporation to buy some, and that doesn't require some proprietary, expensive, and/or old-school industrial protocols to talk to.

3. Not DIY at the hardware level. I'm not that good with a soldering iron, and with small children, I have neither time nor workshop space to solder and assemble anything less trivial than "plug a sensor into an ESP32 and screw both into a box".

(EDIT: shmaybe I can solder a few through-hole components into a PCB, but can't do SMD nor make a custom PCB.)

4. Quality components. With sensors, I mean measuring what it says on a tin (vs. measuring something else and using a factory-provided lookup table to synthesize approximations), and doing it with reasonable accuracy and precision. If there's a calibration step to be done, it should be one that doesn't require me to incorporate myself to perform it.

I've spent some time looking at available options and past HN threads, and so far I discovered that:

- Most products that fit #2 and #3 fail at #1 - they're predominantly cloud-connected bullcrap, and going by review, they often fail at #4. Occasionally, I find something that fits #2, #3, and #4, but then it fails at #1 by... providing no data export option altogether - apparently, it's enough for the consumer to see traffic lights instead of numbers, or browse the readings from the device control panel.

- The DIY stuff I saw (failing #3 to smaller or greater degree) is weak in #4 - in some cases, I recognize the sensors as rather poor and tricky to use right (infamous DHT11 comes to mind), and in all cases, I don't know how one would go about calibrating anything.

My questions thus are:

- Does anyone here have a setup that solves for these four points, and if yes, could you share some details?

- How one would go about looking for vendors meeting those criteria, if they exist at all?

- In a broader sense, how do you go looking for any IoT-adjacent vendor that meets those criteria? It really seems to me that everyone wants me to install their godawful stupid app to connect to their broken cloud, and there's such a flood of those products that reviewers can't keep up with quality testing, and hackers can't keep up with reversing the proprietary protocols and firmwares.
And the compiler could insert additional side effect free computations ahead of time to detect if an execution will hit UB later on.

I think a poker analogy is the best way to frame it.

At this point they are basically face saving "pot committed" to zero COVID.

In a face saving culture you can't just come out tomorrow that zero COVID was a strategy that makes no sense when you went "all in".

Ultimately, people would probably lose more faith in the party if they did a zero COVID 180.

Surely we are over reacting to the few protests we see online. The vast majority of people in China are just going to go along with this.

This sounds really promising, but one thing that worries me is that ketamine is a sort-of painkiller (dissociative anesthetic).

When heroin was first discovered, it was hailed as a wonder-drug, and it was also considered an effective treatment for severe depression. However, after some time, people realized that its addictive properties and high range of potential tolerance make it backfire pretty badly after a certain amount of (ab)use.

Can we be sure that a similar thing won't happen with ketamine?

> Would the increased sales from using DVD have made up for the increased manufacturing cost?

It would have been crucial, but not enough. Sony's hype was strong. Remember the supercomputer status? The only reason the XBox stood a chance was because it had strong specs. People were even more into specs then than they are now. So in answer to the "waiting a year" question: it hurt it a lot. They really needed that year to build momentum and they didn't get it.

> Would launching with dual-stick controllers have saved it and jumpstarted the era of the console FPS early?

No, but I do think the controller needed help. The analog sticks were slippery, the triggers were positioned awkwardly, and the VMU was overengineered. Maybe the VMU costs were negligible but they seemed like a waste.

Isn't the opioid crisis a crisis because it ruins lives?
I guess the idea is that China was studying SARS-like viruses in animals, maybe mutating or genetically modifying them to learn more about them, and at some point, one escaped through incompetence. Especially early on this would obviously give China a big information advantage, as they had all their existing research to look at, and might have a more complete picture than anyone else (regarding heritage and other strains). Now that SARS-CoV-2 has been in the wild for three years its questionable if they would still have an advantage. But they might have better data about long-term effects, if only from animal tests, simply because they would have had more than three years to study it.
I would pay for a third-party service that automatically generated good recommendations based on my watch history and interests.

As someone with ADHD, find a job that works for you.

For me, the way teams are structured where I worked there where 2 sides, build and support.

Build focuses on new builds. One project, until it's launched. That didn't work for me.

Support is projects that are already launched that need new things built out, maintenance, etc.

New builds is usually backend dev, front end and one that can do a bit of both. Support usually has a dev per 5 clients.

I loved being in the support side and floating to new build as needed for my expertise. While most other teams have a dev per 5 clients, I was able to automate parts of the maintenance and by myself I handled 35 clients.

I worked with the leadership at the company. I was able to create my own department afterwards. I had the ears of everyone.

With 35 clients, I was switching all the time. Priorities shift. Goals shift. It was great for my ADHD brain. Blast some fast paced music and start my day.

-----

Find what works for you. Do you need to switch it up often? Do you need things written out and longer projects? How does your ADHD brain work?
I assume you know that reading a bug report, realizing that it's actually a feature request, and changing the label accordingly, is significantly less work than implementing the requested feature. So I still don't understand what sort of point you're trying to make. A healthy project probably has the resources to go through incoming bug reports and fix labelling or categorization mistakes, but not enough resources to implement every good idea which comes in through feature requests.
Why can they assume that? how on earth did "undefined" ever get read as "can not happen"? if the standard meant "can not happen", they would have said "can not happen". but they did not, they said we are not going to define what is going to happen. or in other words, the cpu is going to do something when this happens but we don't know what.

Nothing in there lets the compiler get to say "this will never happen". but they do exactly this.
Eh, wanting to dogfood the JS tooling you're writing is a fairly valid reason, imo. Would dogfooding on TS cover many JS usecases? Sure. But inevitably some things are different. I'm somewhat sympathetic.
That's not sufficient macroeconomic justification to push the shellfish remains biofilm forward. See Cobra Effect [1].

Sorry to hear that I disappointed you.

That being said I disagree. the CCP going as far as chaining/nailing doors seems more than excessive (remember that officially there has been about 5000 deaths from covid in China) and not as esaily explainable as you suggest.

The explanations you give make sense but they wouldn't be unique to China. A lot of authoriatian countries share the same concerns and want to show they have things under control and to save face. Yet no other country went as far as china did. When you add together the fact that the virus originated from China, that a lab leak can't be completely excluded and that there response to it is unique and seems irrational , I can't blame people for having a bad gut feeling about it. It doesn't mean that the suspicions of the people that find it fishy are founded, just that them feeling that way is somewhat understandable.
There's no controversy per se... I suspect what is happening here is that Twitter has some obligations in order to operate in the EU and they nominate certain people for certain roles. Now, she has obligations because she's in one of those roles and she wants to make it clear any non-compliance by twitter isn't her fault. Obviously in reality Twitter couldn't give a flying shit about complying with any laws (which is why they went around capricious firing people in the first place with no forethought about what would happen), so at some point Twitter is going to have close this gap between "Large company that wants to operate in one of the worlds largest markets" and "Billionaire's playing thing".

I don't think I've seen this described anywhere in an "official" anthropological sense, but given that we all seem to be aware of this in passing, it's nice to discuss terms for it.

I have been using "digital silt" to describe it, because it's self-explanatory, like silt in a river, ultimately settling at the bottom of the abyss.
I wasn't saying that Node itself is a security problem but rather that the community is biased towards rapid upgrades, trading long-term API stability for the ability to use new things quickly. That's a valid trade-off which a lot of people have enjoyed but it does mean that you need to think about whether you have the resources to keep surfing that wave when adding new dependencies. It does seem like the community is reconsidering that balance, too, after years of things like leftpad or worse have been highlighting how exposed most projects are to a single compromised maintainer.
Would of course depend on the situation, and also I'm not employed to evaluate your use of TypeScript vs JavaScript, you usually do this at the start of each project depending on the needs of what you're building.

But if I'd want something that is optimized for ease of install, ease of contributing to and minimal build tooling, choosing JavaScript over TypeScript is a no-brainer.

As a second tradeoff, choosing JavaScript over TypeScript tend to make codebases less complect and more modular, at least in the teams I've been in who maintained codebases with both languages.

I did use the compare button to compare my times to the average times for those puzzles.

My times were all above the average times, which was cool. But, at least with Wordle, I think it spread because people were excited about beating their friends, not a global average.

I know you said your game is different from Wordle, but you did copy the aspect where it’s the exact same game for everyone each day, and once you complete the puzzle(s) of the day, you’re fine for the day.

Initially this sounds like a weird limitation (only one puzzle per day?) but it works because it enables you to say to people “did you figure out the Wordle today?” And to be talking about the same thing. You probably already knew this, but I’d think about how this does or doesn’t apply to your game and what it’s getting you.
I saw nothing in the interview to indicate that you should accept 100% of statements mainstream media institutions. Quite the opposite.

You do need to be able to evaluate relative trustworthiness. Mainstream journalism isn't going to be right 100% of the time, but they have a much better track record than rumors spread over social media. In fact, because so many contradictory stories spread on the internet, it's easy to pick ones we want to believe and reject ones that challenge our assumptions. It becomes easy to reject an uncomfortable reality and substitute one that make us feel better about ourselves. So while you should be generally suspicious of "trustworthy media and institutions" you should be very suspicious of your own biases.

A healthy dose of skepticism doesn't mean disbelieving all sources equally.
