For me it's not only "Am I going to read this again", but rather "Do I want to have this available for my children to read"? That makes the pool of books significantly larger.

The Internet broke the information firewall between nations. Today we just need to watch the TV for 45 minutes and to get an unhealthy dose of death and misery across the planet. The same thing goes with just about every news website.

Social media not only deliver this information to your front door, it also carries the other reader's comments that too often comes in forms of outrage, disgust, sadness, which then breeds more negative feelings.

> completely disgusted about what I've done

Sorry to hear that. I sometimes eat out of boredom/anxiety too; it's almost unavoidable. Don't feel too bad. It helps me to simply not buy the things I like. You do have to do your shopping every day, though.

But remember: this internet stranger isn't disgusted by you.
It's a fairly new hypothesis, coming out of recognition that plant oils with exception of olive oil, maybe some others, are fairly new thing in human diet and their usage (as replacement for animal fats) kind of correlates with raise of modern diseases and obesity.

There are also some molecular pathways that might be triggered by substances in plant oils but there's not much systemic research into this yet.

But I think it's all plausible. There's really no harm in restricting yourself to just olive oil out of all extracted plant oils. And since it cuts out most processed foods available on the market it might help you in other ways.

You can still eat plant oils with the whole plants they come from becuse you won't be able to eat even remotely close quantities of them this way.

Plant oils are not inherently safe. Canola oil for example is just rapeseed oil extracted out of plant variety that contain as little as possible of the poison that makes rapeseed oil not safe for human consumption.

The fact that we were able to breed the plant that doesn't immediatelly kill us doesn't mean it's fully safe to eat.

Omega-6 vegetable oils as a driver of coronary heart disease: the oxidized linoleic acid hypothesis

I like that one and it has good references. I could find more (Crisco and trans fats... duh) but I mean come on...

Seed oils like canola oil are manufactured and did not exist before 1900. They're totally unnatural and heavily manufactured with solvents, preservatives, high heats, deadorizers, coloring. Seed oils go rancid so fast without chemical processing and preservatives before they're bottled.

Do you want to cook with stable saturated fats in ghee that has been used for generations after generations - Or manufactured seed oil, first sold to the public as Crisco by P&G? Seed oils do not occur in nature, they are manufactured. Do you want to shove it down your gut until good enough studies prove it's safe or unsafe? Not me!

Vegetable oils. Good history here:

You made the tower yourself, no? Not to sound snarky but by making sure that (1) you do not lock yourself into any dependency and (2) you keep the use of dependencies to a minimal you do prevent most of that pain? At least that is my opinion. As a temporary workaround (sometimes permanent) I opt for a fork, which when kept to the bare minimum is usually not more then a minor annoyance.

That’s at least my experience…

Show HN: Aurum79 – Create AI/Bot for MetaTrader5 in Node.js
In the past I had a job where some contract required a trained body to be on site 24/7. The company hired EXACTLY enough workers to fill the position, with _zero_ slack for anything.

That lack of slack is hell. It makes any disruption, even minor ones, require the other workers to work more time. Major disruptions mean soul-crushing crunch level hours to just get by.

Slack _must_ be planned into a system, otherwise there won't be any safety / recovery margin, and you're seeing the results live with Southwest's implosion.

TodoTree: The nested todo and note taking app for Android
Hello HN, I have been working on this app for some time. I was using it for myself, however I thought that maybe more people would be interested in this.

I was frustrated with the slow UX of other todo and note taking apps. This made it very difficult to explore complex ideas and tasks.

I have never seen this approach being done before, where all the parent nodes are directly accessible for quick navigation and context awareness.

The app is fully open source under the GPL-v3 license and available on f-droid and the play store. I try to keep the app as simple and flexible as possible. If you have any cool suggestions or contributions, feel free to let me know.

Well, the option is to rewrite the entire stack yourself. So sure, let me spend a lifetime doing that instead of things I'd like to be doing. I already opt for minimal dependencies. The problem is that every piece of software I have ever interacted with has had bugs that immediately surface, and nearly universally, there's only a handful of people that can fix them. I can't possibly be expected to reimplement or even fix projects that have taken decades to develop.

You say don't lock yourself into dependencies. Well, to create a window on an OS, you have no choice but to have a dependency, because that's how the real world works. The only option is to write your own OS, but even that has dependencies.
Reading your comment and the answers, I have a hard time telling if you're being ironic or serious here. I'm going to be charitable and assume yours is some very sharp wit that flew over the heads of some that replied to you :)

Indeed it is a terrible idea to optimise any piece of software that's put online in the rare occurrence it becomes the next Facebook. No, it will not happen overnight. No, you can run on an autoscalable k8s on AWS setup and it will still break, you will have to completely re-architecture and write a lengthy "what went wrong" post-mortem anyway.

I feel the "premature optimisation is the root of all evil" mantra is not yet being taught in DevOps school.
>And the scary thing is, this came out of nowhere, one day everyone online is for freedom and freespeech, the next day everyone became against it

I don't think it came from nowhere. Specifically, I'd say a lot of it started very specifically after Trump won the 2016 election and a whole obsessive craze struck the progressive media and wider communities that follow it (among them, many programmers, techies and other academically educated, otherwise supposedly intelligent people) who rapidly also started to follow the line of this same craze over supposed "misinformation" and other "harmful" information.

Rapidly, the notion of free speech became something that needed to be modulated, coordinated, controlled and carefully allowed because it might lead to another case in which something disliked by the media/academic/cultural ingroup happens.

The related Russian disinformation mania of that same timeframe also introduced a strong and strangely absurd nationalist streak of controlling foreign influence in how people see information to the debate, this further reinforced the wider argument of free expression and access to it being dangerous for people.

Totally outside one's personal politics, this idea is absurd and hypocritical, but it notably became the case after that specific point in time among many people who previously used to aggressively defend the notion of free speech and online freedom. Remember the whole previous-to-that debate about net neutrality? Much of it faded away because it tacitly goes against the grain of these superseding notions about how discourse should be controlled.

The "trust science and lockdown measures" narratives during the COVID pandemic only expanded the scope of the above, and for similar reasons of partisan politics.

Yes, using natural gas for the things that only natural gas can do would be an excellent public policy.

However that's not the policy we are pursuing. We are pursuing very blunt instruments to try to discourage investment in developing natural gas fields full stop. Which is bad public policy.

The other issue is by raising the price of natural gas, we are raising its price for all uses. And the price of natural gas tends to determine the price of fertilizer, which tends to determine the price of food. So this policy makes food more expensive.

Even worse, natural gas and things like coal and oil are in some sense substitutes. Not perfect substitutes, but what happens when we make oil more expensive is that people shift to coal and natural gas to generate energy, and so these two become more expensive as well. Similarly, if we were take all coal offline, that would increase demand for natural gas and oil as substitutes, and again, the price of these commodities would rise, which would increase the price of food.

What would be nice would be to see if we could de-couple these prices somehow -- e.g. tax usages of natural gas downstream of the price of the commodity itself. Other ideas are also possible.

> If overnight, HN became the new Facebook

Begone, Satan!

> That is why business leaders pick the more expensive 'best practice' setup.

Realistically, how many companies reach the scale of FB? If successful, they'll reach a few thousand concurrent users, which can be serviced by the monolith model, and even scaled traditionally. HN is a testament of how well this model can work.

Building an entire infrastructure around the 1e-9% chance it will have to service a FAANG-level scale of traffic is the definition of premature optimization.

Instead, setting up and maintaining this HA infrastructure is a huge resource sink, which at an early stage of a startup can make or break the project.

It's insane that this model of building for burstable scale where everything is a microservice has become so prevalent in the industry. Cargo culting whatever tech is produced by FAANGs is doing immeasurable harm. These are not best practices.

EDIT: Ah, if you were being sarcastic... Touché.
> Some legacy businesses have wildly out of touch expectations and a cargo cult mentality regarding tech.

Labor stats don't agree. The reason technworker pay has soared is scarcity.
I don’t think the root cause here is excessive trust in preferred sources. What’s actually at play here, is most peoples weakness at perspective taking. Truly understanding a given issue requires the ability to have your own perspective and to give equal credence to the other plausible perspectives. Many people do not pause to consider alien perspectives, and are disoriented when confronted with them. Therefore, they don’t seek out alien perspectives in order to avoid the sense of disorientation that would result, and that’s why they stick to media that share their perspective, and even punish said media when it offers alternative perspectives.

People have always been this way, but the Internet and social media are really not helping.

I wouldn't worry about Coinbase, whilst SBF was the cool kid who had a motorbike and smoked round the back of the bike sheds, Coinbase is the kid sat at the back of the class eating glue. Coinbase is doing all of the things required to run a crypto exchange as if you were actually a real exchange trading items of value.

The problem is there are no crypto assets of value, and so Coinbase looks perpetually behind the ball, because their trading volumes are nothing, their costs are high, and they move incredibly slowly. They've spent their entire time as a company looking stupid because they don't show crazy trading volumes or magical new markets that are going to drive incredible revenue. Instead, they got valued as an also-ran in the market, people thinking "Oh well they're no FTX but they're worth something".

The problem they face today, is is turns out all the guys they looked unsuccessful next to turned out to be bare faced liars. So now people look at Coinbase and realise it's not a business. We thought they were doing a poor job of capturing a brilliant market. Actually they've done a great job building a company to a serve a market that simply never existed and was all pretend.
Proof definitely matters. But at this point, as ChatGPT, AlphaZero, and others demonstrate, NNs can solve any problem provided you can express the problem as a differentiable function and get enough training data to train the function. We may be very close to a breakthrough where we can train models that detect sound, good ideas. And 100% accuracy likely isn’t necessary. Even pruning the search space for good ideas by a large amount would make humans way more productive.

3% to 5% of the entire fucking world's GDP.

Organized crime existed way before Satoshi Nakamoto released Bitcoin to the world and shall, sadly, continue to exist long after that.
I'm not sure why we're still promoting Rpi's. Between production issues and scalpers it is easier to buy a 35 year old vintage machine than Rpi's. Furthermore nothing listed in this article can't be done by a generic Linux box. Like an old laptop mentioned by a poster below, or a thin client pc that can be bought for $15 including shipping. I recently decided to build an old Intel e2200 based pc in an old mini desktop case as a home server. Including case and shipping it cost me around $15 to build(minus hdds).

If one really wants small form factor and lower power consumption why not choose a pine64, orange pi or radxa boards? Yes, certain features like hdmi(on Quartz64), or hardware accelerated video encode/decode is only supported in older kernels, but if one needs a generic network box even fairly new Linux kernels work.

So in conclusion, it is time to sell our remaining Rpi's to scalpers that want them and move to other things.
