Thanks for doing some digging.

Unfortunately the default gateway/router (A Nokia GPON terminator) does not support adding static LAN routes - it's more of a 'fit and forget' home-grade product and isn't too sophisticated (the available documentation's pretty rubbish too!).

The problem will go away in about a month when the Nokia is replaced with a GPON bridge and a Draytek router, then the current 67Mbit VDSL service will be decommissioned just leaving the gigabit FTTP WAN connection.

I was working on a compressed air energy storage system for a marine application many moons ago. It was a rubber bladder reinforce and shap-constrained externally by Nylon fabric that would assume the load under tension. I can't recall the operating pressure, but what's vividly burned into my memory was the large fear the fabrication shop had of testing the setup (that if a unit ruptured, it would send large/micro projectiles hurtling through the walls of the facility). The solution was to test under water. We never ended up building the design, but storage under water is plausible safety mitigation I think, though that seems a bit unwieldy.
Not sure why this reply is being downvotted. Is downvotting a way of saying that I disagree with your point of view?

You reckon we'll have AGI, or at least something resembling it by then?

Brain implants + near-AGI would essentially make us superhuman
And even for Linux,

- you still have to take C ideas in account because you don’t know how much stack a syscall wants

- vdso are C-ABI objects
I’m going to now admit that I don’t know enough to know how valid the testing is.

But, I can say that on an individual level it is easy enough to test whether a blood pressure regimen is effective.

Blood pressure is easy to test at home and the effect of a blood pressure regimen can be observed almost immediately - within 24-48 hours. So if the doctor recommends that I change drugs and measure my blood pressure daily under the same conditions, we can judge its efficacy.

In other words, I would be more comfortable with experimenting with different approved high blood pressure medicines than something like cancer medicines based on a startups recommendations.
Like the ETL tools, computer languages are basically the same. It's (usually) more important to learn how to do something new with a programming language than it is to learn how to do all your old things in a new programming language.

(The exception to that is that a professional programmer is frequently a maintenance programmer or problem solver and it may well be you have to learn a bit of language X in a hurry to solve a specific problem in a system written in language X.)
I can envision a system interfacing to advanced language/image models using genetic algorithms to spit out candidate outputs and using biometric readings (in the vein of an FMRI, or maybe just a polygraph) to judge how satisfied a user is with various outputs in different categories, then rapidly using the feedback to develop an output that most satisfies the user's desire. How well this could work, or if it would work in practice, seem to be the biggest questions, but I think we definitely have avenues worth exploring using existing technology. I have to say the idea of such a technology is a little disquieting if it were used the way things like polygraphs already are, and optimized for something other than the user's preferences.

EDIT: Now I can't shake the mental image of Alex from A Clockwork Orange strapped into his chair for his "treatment". And certain scenes toward the end of The Men Who Stare at Goats.
Ask HN: Development/Engineering Epiphanies from your experience?
Would love to hear inputs on less technical epiphanies you've had during development of a new thing, especially at the human interfaces (dev teammates, customer, management), but machine interfaces could also be interesting (something you learned about your computer/workbench/mill).
In the case of curl it can happen if the server did not use Content-Length and the connection gets closed.
If you build hundreds/thousands of boats with little to no effectiveness to prop up your numbers for the domestic public then it's easy to claim large navy sizes.

My previous comment was with respect to actual effectiveness. China has no significant blue water navy.

Taleb makes a good point about philosopher kings like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, etc (those who lived much life of comfort due to riches). That they were kings before they were philosophers.

Goggins on the other side grew up more like Epictetus. Where the philosophy drove them to sagehood/being kings of their own categories.

This blog falls a bit short on what pain and suffering can do to a person. The whole stoicism movement is more akin to the myth of Sisyphus. Like Camus’s book:

The struggle itself ... is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

AI-powered technology sees big improvements in UK stroke treatment: analysis
Software from our group (cij[1], qha[2]) were developed when numba seems to be the best option for JIT. It generates more pain in the hindsight. It generates a lot of depreciated warning due to unstable API, locked numpy to a certain version (i remember 1.21) due to compatibility issues, and when M1 Mac comes out, there were for a long time lack of llvmlite porting to the new platform, so cannot run on these new Macs.

If I had to do it again I would just use plain numpy or use the JAX from Google if JIT is really necessary.

Cold showers have very real effects on the human body.

> Deliberate cold exposure causes a significant release of epinephrine (aka adrenaline) and norepinephrine (aka noradrenaline) in the brain and body. These neurochemicals make us feel alert and can make us feel agitated and as if we need to move or vocalize during the cold exposure. Cold causes their levels to stay elevated for some time and their ongoing effect after the exposure is to increase your level of energy and focus, which can be applied to other mental and/or physical activities.

It’s wild how we’ve completely forgotten the fomite hypothesis that was assumed for the first couple of months of the pandemic. Remember the guy who wanted us to bleach our vegetables? Remember all the distilleries making hand sanitizer because touch was the only thing that mattered?

You don’t have to assume the CDC was full of lies if you remember that they were working from an inaccurate hypothesis at a time when reducing transmission rates seemed like it might be the most important thing in the world.
It seems to me that most of the arguments about beauty go in one of two directions-- mathematically measurable symmetry factors (including everything from the average length of a flower petal in a given blossom to fractals & the golden ratio) or "it's all subjective".

Personally, I have never seen a flower I didn't find beautiful that I recall. I just did an image search for "ugly flowers" and I didn't see a single one I didn't like. Perhaps the subjectivity argument carries more weight in the end.
> I understand how life could have eventually evolved to where we're at. But how did life _start_?

Evolution doesn't explain how life started (or attempt to explain), just how it changes over time. How it started is obviously a really interesting question, but not one you can use evolution to understand. Evolution explains a specific thing, not everything.
This abuses the word conspiracy theory, which implies a malevolent plan (at least in the common use of the word) as opposed to a benevolent plan. Your argument is incredibly disingenuous.

Regarding "treatment for homosexuality is deemed torture" is a strangely anachronistic view, in the full meaning of anachronism. It isn't just outdated. It is outdated in a specific way to an era of white churchgoing conformist America that is both out of step with current practice and ahistoric in terms of how fluid sexuality has been over the broad sweep of history, or even not that broad a sweep.

And it is a current bugbear of far-right extremists: "For the children" is the most deceptive flag fascism flies.

That's unfortunate. Perhaps one albeit clucky work-around would be to have your Wifi connected to a Linux router, that then routes to your Nokia? By Linux router I just mean a cheap Linux box with ip forwarding enabled and set the routes there? Beyond that I am out of ideas.

There are different definitions of simple. I found wordpress simple because I could access the UI to post from any device. I could upload images, save drafts, and preview posts. My static site, basically requires a desktop/laptop PC and to preview I have to build the site. This is far less simple to use even if it's simpler to run
Originality Is Not the Only Way; It Sometimes Pays to Copy
How is the title misleading? Facts from the CDC itself was suppressed when it didn't fit the narrative. Even here on HN where titles are supposed to be the original unless clickbait the word "rigged" is changed to "moderated".

Moderated implies it's unbiased while it's clearly not.
In 1953, people looking back at the first 50 years of powered flight imagined the wildest things to happen in the next 50. Today we have B-52 built no later than 1963 scheduled to fly well into the 2050ies. To me, the modesty of the article's predictions was a pleasant surprise after the expectations set by the headline.
Author should not be packager. Distro users/maintainers should be packagers.
Look at FreeBSD ports: there are more than 25K packages, most of them with latest upstream versions. How much of these packages are prepared by authors? Maybe, 1 in 1000 (I'm optimist, I know). NetBSD's pkgsrc is the same. It works.

Authors better stick to traditional UNIX-style build system, which allows to pickup dependencies from local system without problems, and all distro-specific thing will be done by distro guys.

I've ported 10+ software packages to FreeBSD ports in last 20 years, on principle "I need this, it is not in the ports yet, make new port for it". Typically it takes 2x-3x time to single source build, i.e. one day top, if it is not something super-complex like KDE and it is possible at all (i.e. not very Linux-specific when FreeBSD doesn't have required APIs).

Modern build systems like npm and maven, which want to download and build all dependencies by themselves, are problem for this, I admit.

I see a lot of the same thought process when things go away. But , take meta for example , spending billions on the metaverse - most lean towards that being a fools errand and a waste of money. Research and investment doesn’t always lead to where the final destination was expected. Personally I’m glad some companies like meta still push money to research and development because it can lead to cool things in the future that were not intended.

> Given the language's many high level abstractions, I think it's likely we'll see a repeat of the C++ situation above.

The goals in the OP seem to suggest that the objective is not to have a bespoke ABI that encapsulates the entire Rust language, but rather to build a relatively minor shim on top of the existing C ABI that supports some useful Rust patterns (e.g. Option, Result) which should be possible to express straightforwardly in many languages. If this effort succeeds then I can absolutely see it supplanting the C ABI for at least the dynamically-loaded-Rust-from-Rust use case.
Indeed, you can add a Featherstone articulated body algorithm implementation for such cases, or direct solver with good performance (see Maciej Mizerkski talk on Roblox solver here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=P-WP1yMOkc4)

Here is the text from the declaration:

There is no climate emergency

Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.

The geological archive reveals that Earth’s climate has varied as long as the planet has existed, with natural cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age ended as recently as 1850.

Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are expe­riencing a period of warming.

Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming

The world has warmed significantly less than predicted by IPCC on the basis of modeled anthropogenic forcing. The gap between the real world and the modeled world tells us that we are far from understanding climate change.

Warming is far slower than predicted

Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as policy tools. They do not only exaggerate the effect of greenhouse gases, they also ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial.

Climate policy relies on inadequate models

CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. More CO2 is favorable for nature, greening our planet. Additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also profitable for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.

CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth

There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent. However, there is ample evidence that CO2­ mitigation measures are as damag­ing as they are costly.

Global warming has not increased natural disasters

There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050. Go for adaptation instead of mitigation; adaptation works whatever the causes are.

OUR ADVICE TO THE EUROPEAN LEADERS IS THAT SCIENCE SHOULD STRIVE FOR A SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE CLIMATE SYSTEM, WHILE POLITICS SHOULD FOCUS ON MINIMIZING POTENTIAL CLIMATE DAMAGE BY PRIORITIZING ADAPTATION STRATEGIES BASED ON PROVEN AND AFFORDABLE TECHNOLOGIES.

To believe the outcome of a climate model is to believe what the model makers have put in. This is precisely the problem of today’s climate discussion to which climate models are central. Climate science has degenerated into a discussion based on beliefs, not on sound self-critical science. Should not we free ourselves from the naive belief in immature climate models?

Signs that you’re in a toxic work situation
When I graduated from Harvard, I started working at a company. At first, my colleagues seemed really nice. The CEO appeared charming. There were some red flags in the beginning like how he talked about screwing over other people to get ahead, but I ignored that because I was naive and accepted his offer to join the company.

Here are four things you should look for when joining a company:
- have you vetted your boss and colleagues - I usually ask my boss questions to make sure that he isn’t a bad guy. You’re not the only one being interviewed, you should be interviewing him too.
- how long have your future colleagues been at the company - the toxic company I worked at had a cutthroat boss who fired easily. He seemed to enjoy making people work like crazy and screwing them over some way some how. Even though I was the cofounder, I lost some of my shares. Thankfully, I hired a lawyer to avoid losing the rest.
- How is your boss treating you? There’s no excuse to be treated poorly. Because I was so naive, I thought it was ok for the CEO to yell at me and go through my emails. After I left, he continued to do the same to other employees. In fact there was an article written about how bad it was working there.
- Are your colleagues collaborative? I’ve worked at companies where my colleagues loved to talk bad behind peoples backs. It’s not cool.

There’s no perfect working environment. Every job has its perks and downsides. Sometimes you have no choice but to stay and try to make the most of it. I decided to leave, but I was able to do that because I was young and I had a great education that opens a lot of doors. Today, I work for a fortune 100 company and I’m doing well.

Don’t like the toxic company get to you. If you can leave, leave. It’s not worth the psychological abuse that you will go through. I felt like I was gaslighted and it took me years of therapy to get through it.

Don’t ignore the warnings signs.

> The problem is WN doesn’t interline with other carriers

I've not had the pleasure of WN, but have used several European LCCs. There are some situations where good travel insurance is possibly the only thing you can rely on.

Fix your own alternative travel (believe me, having been disrupted on Christmas Day this is sometimes easier said than done), demand a refund from your original carrier, and claim everything back from your insurer.
“The” source?

Assuming you were alive and paying any attention the past two years, the source would be your own eyes and ears, consuming the (US) CDC’s official communications. I wasn’t even in the US and encountered them! In fact, I once even repeated one of their false claims about masks very early last year during a recorded zoom call with a friend. Then after looking at the very different claims from my local CDC, I realized the US one was wrong.
(My dad’s grandfather was an imam.) That means that you can’t compel people to convert to Islam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Baqara_256. That does not mean you can’t have binding religious law Muslims are required to follow.

That being said, the religious requirement is modest dress. Some traditions interpret that to require covering the hair or face. Other traditions do not. Hijab was uncommon in Bangladesh when my parents were growing up, but is increasingly common today due to growing cultural influence from middle eastern schools of Islam. That said, it’s worth noting that Islam is not like Protestant Christianity where lay people are supposed to interpret the meaning for themselves. Where relevant Islamic experts have spoken you’re supposed to defer to their interpretation.
