Speaking as a 10x dev, this is truth. I have felt underpaid most of my career. After 30 years, I don’t give as much at work anymore. I bought a farm and most of my energy goes there instead. I suggest wishing for a healthy balanced life. No happiness comes from being undervalued and underutilized.
As european citizen, you americans are obsessed with race thing. I struggle to imagine european policy research that segregates people by skin colour or whatever else.

It's Elon's platform. He can do what he wants with it. I disagree with his decisions, and I think they're far more capricious and arbitrary than any previous moderation, but they're his decisions to make.

But the thing I can't abide by is going down this path whilst simultaneously claiming that he's Defending Freedom of Speech. "Comedy is now legal on Twitter", he says, immediately before banning parody accounts. "Doxxing is not allowed", he says, immediately before soliciting his 100+ million followers to identify a video of someone's face and license plate.

Again, he's an asshole, but I don't think he should somehow be legally prevented from doing what he's doing. I just want him and his stans to drop the charade.
PSI is a measurement that can be hard to translate between various items like tires and tanks and foundations: https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/building-foundations-load...

Massive tractor tires can be 50+ psi and when they pop it is devastating.
This post resonates strongly with me. I love the term "a linux evening." This was precisely my experience when I used Linux full time: mostly it worked great, but then occasionally something wouldn't work (some personal examples: touchpad doesn't work after OS update, wifi card stops working etc.) and then I have to spend a few frustrating hours debugging the issue. All I can think in these moments is "you don't get this time back. Is this really how I want to spend three precious hours of my life, when, if I used a different platform, I could avoid this hassle completely?"

I know it's a tradeoff and I sacrifice a lot to live in my current Macintosh rut, but I just don't have the motivation to be my own DIY tech support wiz after a full day on computers for work.

EDIT: as pointed out by others, one headline takeaway from this is that the author was able to fix the problem at all, which s/he may not have been able to do on Mac/Windows (though it's much less likely the issue would occur in the first place).
Sounds like junior web devs working on Javascript pull-in-the-whole-internet code bases. Not criticising your choice, it might be the best solution to your specific challenges; that just does not sound like the environment I work in. If somebody can't configure their own editor and its dependencies, I wouldn't trust them to handle application dependencies in the supply chain either.

Then again, I might pre-date the which editor to use and how to configure it era.
Sounds like you had faulty hardware.
“The French were able to hold their build times below 6 years up to about 1985”

You’d think if the future depended on it, build times could be reduced.

JFK was a proponent of interventionist foreign policy and neoliberal-ish economics just like every US president after him. The US establishment had no reason to kill him. He was one of them through and through.
"It doesn't matter that Elon Musk is silencing his critics on his absolute-free-speech platform, these aren't /real/ journalists."

Please. I didn't realize all of Musk's fans had gone to j-school and are the arbiters of "journalism's higher standard."
I think it actually helps to present M-x to new people as being the "command palette" for Emacs. A modern starting Emacs setup should have a vertical completion setup and fuzzy matching, so hitting M-x and a few keys gives you a list of matching commands with their documentation next to them.
Windows just works without a hassle far more often than any linux distro I've installed.
The basis of this take is "because it doesn't happen very often, it's snake oil". Has DrRobinson considered that the mere fact they think this is proof it works?

The entire point of encryption at rest (on the cloud) is that when any of the following happen you have nothing to worry about.

1. A machine/disk is rendered inoperable and can't be wiped.

2. The data stream coming off of a disk cluster is tapped.

3. An employee steals a disk or is lost.

4. An actor violates their account segmentation and can read raw data from segments of YOUR sectors of the shared disk.

5. SSD firmware goes bad/gets hacked and starts returning incorrect sectors of disk.

6. Memory pointers go bad and return sectors from the wrong area of the disk.

It's incredibly naïve to not use encryption at rest on AWS with how incredibly easy and problem free it is to deploy.
No issue at all on desktop, I can CTRL-scroll on this site like any other, last time I checked, and my monitors are nice and large, so I mostly interact with HN here at my desk.

But I get bored out in public, and as long as I'm paying for this phone, I would prefer to spend that boredom time here rather than watching some silly video. I have books, but I need like ten minutes or there's no point starting to read. The only place I confidently start reading a book is in my doctor's office, and even there, they tricked me last time by calling me into the office right on time. I did not see that move coming at all.
Some people just don't like the Linux (or Unix) way of doing things. I personally can't understand the predisposition against it, but hey, whatever works for them I guess.

Germany on Twitter suspensions: 'We have a problem, Twitter'
And if an organization wants to know, then they must make a single individual responsible. "Organizational responsibility" means that no one is responsible.

It is important to have one person know the answer, rather than making your devs "guess" the answer. "The devs we asked said there wasn't misuse of PII" is not at all a good guarantee that PII is not abused or lost.

The organization cannot know unless there is an individual who knows.
I have modest to high levels of contempt for ol' muskie, but a piece of paper isn't the deciding factor for me, and I'm a formally trained physicist. Heck, Freeman Dyson never got a PhD and you'd have a hard time arguing he didn't significantly contribute to 20th century physics.
Which do you think is more clear? Half a decade ago? Or, 5 years ago?
hopefully soon we're able to integrate Vault + Auth, which will make it easier for developers to make e2e encryption a default for user data.
I heard Jeffrey Epstein had some weird conspiracy theories as well. It would have been fun to make fun of him for those—such a bummer he suffered from depression and killed himself. Double bummer that the security cameras monitoring his cell went out just as he killed himself. Such bad luck.
The JFK assassination is the only conspiracy theory that I actually believe has a lot of merit. After reading a few books on the (underground) politics of the era here is what I believe to a good degree of certainty happened:

* The hit was ordered by the Chicago mafia boss at the time, Sam Giancana

* CIA wasn't directly involved but caught a whiff of the plot and let it happen anyway because they were very unhappy with JFK

here is why the mafia was unhappy with JFK:

* JFKs father made his fortune as a bootlegger during the prohibition era and was very friendly with the mobsters

* the OG mobsters wanted JFK as a president because they were going to have some influence on him through his father.

* the mafia and specifically Sam Giancana helped JFK getting elected in Chicago which was kind of a flip state

after getting elected JFK was not having any of it and completely cut off the mob and actually went against them in a couple of ways

Firstly his brother Robert Kennedy was made attorney general and went after the mob hard. He made his goal to put Jimmy Hoffa behind bars. Hoffa was mobbed up and it was the main financier of the mobs building casinos by providing loans to them through the Teamsters Pension Fund.

The mafia had built many casinos in Cuba. After the revolution, Fidel Castro nationalised the casinos taking away the big cash flows from the mob. The mafia wanted JFK to invade Cuba and take down Castro so they could take control of the casinos back.

here is why CIA was against JFK:

* The bay of pigs invasion was orchestrated by the CIA by training Cuban anti-Castro dissidents that fled the country after the revolution and sending them to fight during the invasion.

* During the invasion JFK promised that he would provide air support to the troops but at the last moment he flinched leaving the ground troops helpless which doomed the operation

What I believe happened:

* Oswald was set up as a patsy for the assassination. His handler from the mob was a guy named Jack Ruby.

* Jack Ruby was a known mobster and the right hand man of Sam Giancana

* When Oswald was captured and during his transport after the initial interrogation Jack Ruby killed Oswald live on television (you can find it on youtube) so he would not blow the whistle

From my understanding the main falling out in the relationship of JFK, the CIA and the mob was when he intentionally botched the invasion to avoid an all out war. This is what lead to his assassination
Java can perform well, and even with all the enterprizey bullshit, it still performs much better than your run of the mill, best practices follower javascript program.

Javascript actually can perform well, not nearly as well as java can, but it doesn't have to be as bad as what you see on most electron applications. But it's not trivial to make it so.
vim has both terminal and gui builds. The latter supports the mouse.
"Honey, especially robinia, clover, and unprocessed raw honey, may improve.."

Scientific papers on the benefits of honey tend to be infomercials for the honey industry.

How do you figure it out? If the suggested "good" honey is limited to a specific geographic region. The local honey industry can benefit from the positive exposure. They don't do these informecials if the honey can be obtained from all over the world.

Where does the Robinia tree grow natively?

> The truly unique feature of US nuclear power is the unlimited power that was given to federal regulators.

> [...] Congress had effectively told the regulator make the rules up as you go. This meant the regulator had no problem changing the rules. A design that was legal at the start of construction, could be declared illegal any time thereafter.

No capital project would ever break ground with these conditions in place. Who would invest billions of dollars in something that could be made illegal any day with no recourse? I'm surprised that any new nuclear power plants were built at all.
Thank you for that response, it did help me understand.

My probably perverse takeaway is that Barbara Streisand might have been wrong: people who need people (to appreciate their work) may not be the luckiest people in the world. One can enjoy one’s accomplishments without needing to have everyone else appreciate them. Or you can find other people with similar interests, and enjoy shared appreciation.

In the extreme, the need for external validation seems to lead to people like Trump and Musk. Perhaps a shift in how we view this would be beneficial for society?
Japanese companies have been great at other things like manufacturing and decent at stuff like software. What gives when it comes to nuclear plant operation?

Yeah - though I would argue he is also exhibiting capriciousness, “improvident” is a great description. Basically I agree with all of that.
This is an important list.
You conclusion for your second point seems to include a lot of unstated assumptions.

Which principles do you think are at play?
The "conspiracy theory" is that the CIA invented the term "conspiracy theory". It's both false and a conspiracy theory.

"plausible-but-unproven accusation" is annoyingly janky for use in everyday conversation, and there are plenty that are implausible as well.
Many spices apparently have high levels of heavy metals, I don't know that it's specific to India. There was a study, I think maybe on HN, where they analyzed a bunch of grocery store spice brands and found heavy metals in many.

I know it's not helpful but i get the impression it's not something easy to analyze at home.

With all this stuff (mercury in salmon, toxins in liver, radioactive potassium in bananas), my take is that too much of anything is probably bad an everything is probably fine as part of a varied diet
How about a Twitter alternative?
Pāṇini's Machine is a term used to refer to the grammar of the Sanskrit language as described in Pāṇini's Aṣṭādhyāyī, a highly influential and detailed work on Sanskrit grammar that was written in the 5th century BCE. The Aṣṭādhyāyī is considered one of the most important works on linguistic theory in the history of linguistics, and it has had a significant influence on the study of linguistics and the development of modern linguistic theories.

Pāṇini's grammar is important for several reasons. First, it is a highly systematic and rigorous description of the Sanskrit language, which is one of the oldest and most important languages of ancient India. Second, Pāṇini's work represents one of the earliest examples of a formal, generative grammar, which is a type of grammar that describes a language in terms of a set of rules and principles that can be used to generate an unlimited number of well-formed sentences. Third, Pāṇini's grammar has had a lasting influence on the study of linguistics, and it has served as a model for many other grammarians and linguists who have followed in his footsteps. Finally, Pāṇini's work has had a significant impact on the study of linguistics and the development of modern linguistic theories, and it continues to be an important reference for scholars and students of linguistics today.

It sounds like OPs life is already an utter nightmare there. Can only go up after getting some relief.

> I can't concentrate at all. It's not like it's annoying, I simply cannot work. I have been spending 10x more energy since I started to just keep above the water but now, after 10 months, I'm simply drowning and my tickets are all piling up.

How depressing to think one shouldn't ask their employer for an accommodation for a legitimate medical condition after almost a year of suffering 8+ hours a day. More empathy please.
Different instances have different limits. If you want even more constraint you can use oulipo.social where you're not allowed to use the letter e.

Saturated fat increases LDL by increasing the particle size, whereas it seems to be increases in particle number that are associated with increased cardiovascular risk. This is likely why studies fail to find any real world increase in risk, and the saturated fat heart disease theory, while still under debate, is mostly out of favor nowadays.
Used Pocket for ~10 years, and I know Readwise is superior.

Here's the issue I had with Pocket, and one I'm sure you will run into as well. Around 2018 or so, I noticed Pocket stopped going to the offline version of the article, and would load the awful full web page, with ads and popups and everything. I would have to keep my phone in airplane mode to force Pocket to default to the offline article. I imagine they did this due to complaints from site owners.

Pocket at its peak probably had millions of users more than Readwise does. How will you handle similar requests when you reach that kind of scale?

FYI, my system now is to simply "save to PDF" in a labeled folder and keep devices in sync with Syncthing Fork.
Honey contains a few percent of "misformed" — not joined by the usual 1,4-saccharide linkage — disaccharides and oligosaccharides such as nigerose, kojibiose, etc. These likely persist into the large intestine and affect the balance of intestinal flora. Another significant (0.5-1%) component is gluconic acid, which supports mineral absorption. But translating these into anti-diabetic activities still requires some, er, creative thinking. There are also very small amounts of polyphenols — "antioxidants" — which are believed to affect insulin signaling, but these are present in other foods as well and no particularly strong candidate has been found to show an effect.

More obviously, honey is buffered at pH 4 (maybe due to 0.05% potassium content), which is roughly optimal for human tastes, and sweeter than sugar on a dry-weight basis (due to fructose). So, use less, etc.
What types of low-level things did you want to learn?

A lot of what seem low-level in Linux are implementation-specific things. For example, how you set up wifi or how you manage your firewall. Knowledge of these things gives you less long-lived and less transferable skills than knowledge of protocols like TCP/IP which is shared by everything that is plugged to the internet. It doesn't make you a better programmer, unless these daemons and tools are what you want to write software for.

Also, your options are not only Arch Linux and Windows/Mac. There are more desktop-ready distributions, too, like Ubuntu or Fedora. Linux lets you still inspect the plumbing if you install one of those.
I'm not sure how that would interact with the mating surfaces in this particular design, I suppose you could paint it after it's already in place though.
Thanks for your feedback.

The database engine is cross-platform and is capable of running in a number of environments, but so far we only build the Windows version of the browser application. The engine has an API that the browser app calls. Any other app could also call it, but so far we just have a few test programs that run outside the browser GUI. We built a Linux version and tested it, but at this point we just don't have the resources to build and support multiple platforms for every revision.

I have personally built tables with over 100 million rows and over 2000 columns, so it scales pretty well.

I definitely need to work on presentation materials so that developers can better understand what it is and where it can go. I really don't mean to come across as combative, it is just a bit frustrating when people criticize something that they have not personally tried.
Gematik co-funded the most recent Matrix audit of vodozemac[1], and is poised to fund 3 more (of matrix-rust-sdk-crypto, matrix-rust-sdk and the whole stack end-to-end) to ensure the E2EE is where it needs to be. So I'd say that the German government definitely cares about E2EE for its civil servants, and we're very grateful for them funding security research.

Meanwhile, BWI is helping fund the work needed to address clientside controlled room membership (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/391...) as highlighted in your paper, as well as TOFU... and they're also funding work to provide MLS as an option for E2EE in Matrix too[2].

Unsure why you're talking about the unexploitable IND-CCA break :)

> Those are are all reductions with 95% certainty. That's somewhat significant, especially combined, is it not?

Depends on how many total things they measured.
Now it sounds like "fossil and biofuel" is only coal. Not quite getting this.

We should all be afraid of nuclear power. The risks are uncalculateable. Whoever thinks he can calculate the risks is delusional. It's not just that "impossible" accidents have happened a bit too often in the past. The bigger problem is that Humans are not that predictable and any nuclear waste stored is in danger of getting blown up by some army or warlord in the next few milennia. Same for active power plants, though for a shorter period.

Ukraine is having this problem right now. What are the chances that Putin causes an incident with one of their plants? You can never say zero, and the situation is very fluid. For any reasonable estimation of risk, you'd have to assume a couple of decades of peace in your region: No war, civil war or major political upheaval. Some are willing to make that bet. I'm not, for any country.
why on earth would marilyn monroe's death be so relevant to anybody that they would support murdering a president. that doesn't make any sense.

At first I thought this is about TikTok
Ask HN: With ChatGPT, is now a good time to leave education?
I've been seriously mulling over this the last couple of weeks. I teach computer science and, while it has always been a balance to teach students to effectively use tools (like Stack Overflow, Copilot, et. al.), I've always been able to come up with obscure and specific enough take-home problems that students can use these tools yet also be forced to solve a significant portion of the problem on their own.

ChatGPT changes everything. Feeding it any number of my take-home assignments yields 90%+ of the answer. In fact, we've already caught a number of students using this to cheat even in the few weeks before Winter Break.

It seems that now might be the perfect time to leave the education world. I'm not sure how to solve this problem (and it is an immediate issue) and I don't really want to spend my days policing students (or giving up altogether and letting them use these tools unfettered).
I recently just built it from source to get ahead of time compiling for ELisp. A little bit of effort, but after 1 long build, now it starts quickly and runs fast.
You put it really well, I think that's close to how I think about it.

Compliance has good sides too though. For example, they force you to think about areas your intuition might otherwise not have gone, so I don't dismiss them but sometimes it makes you spend time on less than optimal things in order to stay compliant.
Would be easier to commit for me if there was a free option or a one-time fee. I know that's a dinosaur, but I can't justify the cost when I can put up with a little friction with Pocket + Joplin + FreshRSS.
That is incredibly wrong and dangerous advice. There were studies that showed coffee grounds could be used to filter substantial but not all lead, is that what you misremembered?
