The problem with severe caloric restriction is that your metabolism slows down. This isn't true of water fasting up to 4-5 days at a time where your metabolism increases ~10-15%, and your body produces significant quantities of HGH which help you burn fat while preserving muscle.

Severe caloric restriction diets are actually not particularly effective if your goal is to permanently lose significant quantities of weight and keep it off - once you plateau it really sucks. Of course I mean if you power through and keep at it you will, but IME, periodic fasting is a much easier way to lose weight and keep it off.

Not hazardous, really, as you point out. The whole point of stored fat is to be used.

Citations available on request, I have NCBI links for each of my points but it takes a while to dig up.
You can plan your fasting days around it. If you have some crazy social schedule, maybe this doesn't work. But I don't go out every night.
Significant GHG reductions could be made by simply converting the engines to natural gas. This would allow existing vehicle assets to reach the end of their useful lifetime and allow for battery electric tech to catch up.
Xfinity's app is a web wrapper anyway!
I just spent several weeks of some spare time learning how to bootstrap a gnu cross toolchain from scratch. It was absolutely atrocious. I’m excited to see zig pushing the envelope on it
Can somebody explain the niche or role of Dragonfly BSD? I'm only vaguely familiar with BSDs. So far my impression is that OpenBSD is the secure one, FreeBSD is the fast one (for servers). What's DragonFly good at?
Have you tried half life Alyx? I’ve yet to see someone say that after they tried the state of the art experiences.

Also, I hear people say that video games are dumb and pointless sometimes, which reminds me that I might myself not realize when something has incredible potential. I think a lot of people might never see the potential in VR, when it’s already there with millions of people using the Quest already

I think that battery vehicles with substantial batteries (and so could be run on lines without ANY overhead infrastructure in a pinch) but that usually charge via overhead lines on a portion of the route is the ideal option. No charging time, no massive new infrastructure (the catenary only needed on a small fraction of total served lines) but also full flexibility. Actually better than fossil fuel variants which need usually to be refueled at the end of the shift at a depot or whatever.
At least most of the decompiler logic comes from formal methods, thus reducing possible edge cases compared to statistics. There's a room for AI in reversing, but it should be a specifically trained model with a carefully extracted features from binary, not only disassembly output: graphs, debug and demangling info, types, IL analysis results, etc.

All these GPT-based plugins are just toys. There's more serious research like this[1][2][3]

There can be no such thing as a real free market. It's an inherently contradictory concept because it necessarily relies on a government strong enough to impose a private property rights regime but at the same time act against its own interests.

Congrats for the author. Though I wonder: what's the catch when it comes to perf? I can't imagine QEMU devs leaving much performance on the table either.
That's how I thought until I started going deep into some technologies that have very strong technical foundations:

- Databases: Postgres, ClickHouse
- Back-end frameworks: Ruby on Rails
- Front-end frameworks: Elm

I lost count of the times I was reading the documentation of these projects and had my mind blow thinking "The person that came up with this concept was a genius! I'm glad I get to learn it."
to be clear: you're calculating embeddings based on the timestamped transcript, yes? or are you doing something with the actual video content? what are you using for the embeddings?
So according to the link, you would have to have android 2.3.5 or earlier for it not to work (circa 2010. The final release of that branch was 2.3.7 which should work but maybe your phone provider didnt provide updates for your phone)
This isn't true for 99% of business out there. Almost every mobile app is worse than its website in a mobile browser because most business can't afford a web dev team, an android dev team, and an ios dev team. The exceptions are the few apps built by the mega-corps that have the resources to build a good mobile app. Nobody want's to install some broken app with a fraction of the functionality of the web site, but that's what 99% of the apps in the app store are.
Yep. Thus my assertion that the author's claims are wrong.

While I do resent a lot of Apple's lies and anti-user, anti-developer actions, I would give them a pass in this instance because they were inventing an industry-changing development ecosystem and they did so very, very well.
Honestly I love the AHK documentation.

Some of the scripts I use daily are in Python, and some are in AHK. The AHK documentation is much easier to follow than the Python documentation IMO.

Almost no diet can sustainably make you eat less than you burn, though. We don't know of a single one that does it reliably in everyone. Sometimes, some people find a way to do it, temporarily.

That is why no known diet or exercise program "works."

edit: feel like I should clarify, mostly to help formulate my own opinion further.

I strongly disagree with "every diet works." Practically no diet works for most people most of the time, which is why "CICO!" is such a frustrating distraction from actually looking for a solution.

For example, I've done 3 months on carnivore (lots of steaks!) and I lost no weight at all. On the other hand, I've recently lost over 30lbs on a custom diet. Will that diet continue working? Would it work for others? Who knows.

To judge if your steak/diet coke diet "works" we'd need to a) have other people try it, b) see it continue to work for you (i.e. unless you're already at a lean goal weight, would you lose more weight?) so it's not just a plateau effect because you're cutting out fiber and carbs.
This may be a stupid question, but wouldn't connection pooling offer the same benefit?

Golang I've seen code of, but never worked with it. Pascal I've never seen before.
These all feel like cost centers of society: health-care, banking, retail. We need them, they are essential, they sustain us, they have worth, but they are not producers of value. As industries, they are distinctly apart from that which creates. Albeit they themselves can be improved via creation.

Then again, I'm not super proud of what tech has been up to in general. Ursala Franklin talking about work vs control technologies, about holistic vs prescriptive[1]: tech too often lately has been about efficient extraction, about capturing value, rather than creating.

Tim O'Reilly saying "Create More Value Than You Capture," since at least 2009[3], has had a huge huge impact on me & how I assess the world around me, the actions of myself & others. I wish I saw this value-system reflected a little more. Hopefully some of these actors here can co-enhance with their actions, can find some tech value worth giving away, to improve the fitness of the world.

N of 1, but I've gone off it for months and maintained my weight.
I understand it like so: Apple computers are the luxury computers.

Up to the early 90s, most households didn't have computers; but when the Internet became mainstream from mid 90s onwards, more and more people bought computers to "use the Internet".

If Apple wouldn't have an offering/environment which allows for using the Internet (... Network stack, browser, e-mail client, dialup drivers, etc.), people would avoid buying Apple computers.
C, C++, and Python are all languages I've worked professionally in. I'm in the process of learning Rust.
I’m sorry you were misdiagnosed and/or mistreated. For what it’s worth, I’ve taken a moderate dose of amphetamines for years and I’m still obese.
I don't believe these BMR calculators are reliable at all. I am 45 and 6'1" and 1800 a day keeps me locked at 240.
Yeah if your eating 3k calories a day as an average height person it does invalidate what your saying. If your eating 1800 to 2k calories a day and still are obese then id consider what your saying. alot of people make poor food choices and dont eat clean. meals are filled with fats and sugar or they snack all day and dont just drink water

>Let’s encrypt works, it works without attention, it’s free, and ubiquitous.

It's not so easy, since there is always a tradeoff with these things. The exact same argument could be applied to Java as a backend and many people happily do so... until it turns out that some lone guy in Switzerland, who has thanklessly maintained a highly popular logging library for the last 20 years, forgot to sanitise certain inputs. Aaaand now you have remote code execution on Apple's servers and just about every other Fortune 500 company. The world needs more people who scrutinise widely used security relevant software, not less.
> Blink is at least 2 times faster than QEMU

Nice work. But isn't QEMU notoriously slow?
I can't entirely speak for Android, but I assume that Google has similar nonsense (as evidenced by sideloading being a pain to the average user)

For Windows, Linux, and MacOS, there's no real need for them, or not enough need for them to exist. There are no policies or guidelines to follow, there is no 30% tax.

The browsers people use on desktop devices provide everything that developers need and can reasonably expect of the platform. There aren't any usability differences, there are barely any performance differences, and there are barely any feature differences.

In fact, I think many desktop end-users would prefer the app to be web-based because it feels so native.

In addition, it's what another commenter said - if it can't be on iOS, then what's even the point of having one?
> ~20% of the market worldwide

But a much higher percentage of the profitable market, in terms of app income.
I did a module for calculating financial figures and values in work. Knowing calculus was very useful - both to understand what I am doing and to figure simplifications where possible.

Imo, history of mathematics is not interesting unless you are interested in mathematics itself too. It is sort of stuff that some people good in math and interested in care about, but is otherwise completely uninteresting for anybody else.

Unless you turn it into history tabloid. Which you can do in pretty much any field, but also it will loose any meaning. At that point, you can do paris Hilton or Kayne West.
I don't think it's that aarch64 specifically is difficult to build for, it's that adding _any_ additional architecture is a significant upfront amount of work, since you need to set up all the dependent platform-specific things for the first time.
It's a misunderstanding of energy conservation. It's not cheating if you count all the energy in the system.
It's weird that insurance companies won't cover this, considering the cost of treating obesity-related illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, strokes, certain forms of cancer, etc. It's also weird that pharmaceutical manufacturers price this so high, considering the potential size of the market relative to the current size of the market. I guess what I'm saying is: the healthcare industry makes a lot of choices I don't understand. /shrug
Lots of question marks: How do we know what's a forgery and what's not? Did someone take authentic originals and write additional text over them? Where do these forgeries come from? How are all of these fragments not in one place under guard? How are forgeries of this even possible? I need more context to understand.

The inevitable folly of an engineer is succumbing to that nagging desire to tear down the existing solutions and build your own.
In contrast to the typical mobile user, this is a very niche M.O. Not practical for most I would say.

I find stories like yours much more inspiring that the overnight successes. Thanks for sharing and I wish you well going forward.

Over this time, what have your most successful marketing/customer acquisition strategies been? How has this changed?
I bought a new modem over the holidays. Xfinity required me to install the app to activate it. But their login system was broken. It was impossible to talk to a human over the phone because I had to go through the app. Really terrible experience. Had to lie and say I was cancelling to finally get a human on the phone to do this for me. Still can't log into their stupid web wrapper.
Good point. It had slipped past me.

The latter definitely is more plausible
Do you have in mind something like what happened with tobacco in the 60s, when the Surgeon General documented negative health effects publicly and extensively, but ultimately stopped short of recommending any action against it? In my experience, most people see the little label on cigarette packs as grossly inadequate.
What I've noticed in my career of going back and forth between pure tech companies and mainstream industries with technical needs is that invariably mainstream industry is in at the tail end of "early majority" and usually in the "late majority" or later. This can be frustrating but also an opportunity to be ahead of the game. Also of note, mainstream industry, however dedicated their commitment to technology, will always see the software end as a cost center, and subject to all the constraints implied thereof.
When I first got started with LetsEncrypt, I wanted to do the whole thing manually so I could understand it better. This was probably 4 years ago.

I expected a web form to fill out (e.g. what domain to do you want, paste your CSR here, etc.), but such a thing didn't exist. The LetsEncrypt site didn't have much useful in the way of instructions except to say "Use Certbot".

So I set up certbot, ran it in manual mode, and got my certificate. Cool. The only problem was that there was a little too much magic. What is this "account" that I'm using to renew my certificate if I never made an account (i.e. username password). What happens if I accidentally delete all the files certbot created for me? And a bunch of other questions.

The documentation I found didn't give a whole lot of straightforward answers. Instead I pieced together information from blogs and forum posts.

I'm hoping the documentation situation has changed, but I can understand how someone can be confused about LetsEncrypt. Many people are happy to use something without any concerns about how it works. Others want to understand and when they find that they can't, they get frustrated.
Is human metabolism really so different from other mammalian metabolism?
Don't look up! Don't look up!
I'm trying not to sound all gatekeep-y, but I think this is the downside of a low barrier to entry. JavaScript has attracted a lot of programmers who just don't have the experience to manage things like maintainability, dependency management, or non-breaking upgrades. Some of them go on to create things that are great in the moment and deservedly become popular, but then fall prey to problems in these areas as they age. The same has happened to various extents and at various times with Python, Ruby, PHP, and so on.

On balance lower barrier to entry is a good thing, but it does have characteristic problems too. In fact, I'd say fault lies partly with more experienced programmers and particularly packagers, who often tend toward avoidance (or worse) instead of helping these newer ecosystems avoid known pitfalls.
Hunger is like a one way valve - you can gain weight and your body will not stop you, but as soon as you start to incur caloric deficit, your body will turn on lots of alarm bells.

Hunger is also impossible to compare, as it is an internal sensation.

Response to hunger is trained, but it is extremely hard to retrain.
Another good way to promote that guideline is to flag the bejesus out of such comments. It really needs a bit of a cultural push to stick, sort of like plainly rude yelly comments get swiftly flagged.
No, they didn't.

What happened relatively recently was the DST cross sign expired; but any device should, by that point, have received the ISRG root, or you haven't gotten security updates in the last 7 years.

Additionally, there were/are problems with some TLS libraries (e.g., GnuTLS) that have bugs in path building. (Fixes have been made, since LE not working is pretty obvious.) They'll build a path to the expired DST cert, and then conclude (incorrectly) that no other valid path can exist. (When in fact, there is, to LE's own root.)

(Additionally, I've also seen vendors corrupt the ca-certificates directory, and then OpenSSL fails to do path building. This is sort of a pathological case, and probably not your phone's issue.)
Ask HN: Can you make me a 50 meter scroll saw blade?
I'm turning to HN as a semi-last resort in my attempts at finding a manufacturer for a 50 meter long scroll saw blade (0.2mm thickness, 0.6mm width, approx 12 TPI, hard high carbon steel like 1065).

I'm hoping for both a) direct responses if you can make this (ideally with price tag!) and b) meta responses on where else to look, how else to look, how anybody finds others willing to take on projects that are slightly "out there", etc.

These blades exist on today's market as size "2/0 scroll saw blade" (google-able) and are about 5 inches. I've been looking for the past several months to create the same thing, but with teeth for a continuous 50 meter length. I would use these blades in a manner like a bandsaw, but without being in a closed loop. I previously worked on a "CNC scrollsaw" (google-able) and this new blade would power that machine's successor.

I've brainstormed and refined many ideas on in-house (DIY) manufacturing, outsourcing, and some combination.

So far, I've tried contacting:

* The 3 well known manufacturers of these blades: 1 got a prototype to me before saying no (the prototype had teeth, then gap with no teeth, then teeth, etc). 1 said no. 1 had no response

* A reseller of these blades who then asked one of the same manufacturers, but got the same response

* Umpteen companies on Alibaba, few leads, no winners

* Multiple manufacturers that do punch & die work, varying levels of no or no response

* A manufacturer that does reel to reel etching, still in discussion, but seems unlikely

* Multiple manufacturers that do custom CBN form wheels for grinders. skeptical responses and I would need a good spindle to run them

* A manufacturer that makes a fairly similar product to what I'm looking for, just in slightly larger size, but they said no

* A discord of machinists, who had some helpful tips, but no leads

* Steel suppliers for the raw material (flat wire/ribbon is likely the best), but obtaining small (ie < 1 ton) amounts has not been fruitful

I think the DIY approach is not impossible for someone with more skills and better space+equipment than me. A 50m length has about 25,000 teeth, so whatever process it is (milling, punching, grinding, <something else>), it needs to be repeatable. The best idea I've had is a purpose built CNC grinder with computer vision for wear compensation and alignment, but a major hurdle with grinding is the corner radius would ideally be <150 um (300 um tooth height, so that leaves half the height as flat). I could ramble about more specifics, but maybe that gives a bit of flavor and intrigue if someone is interested in working on this.

Thanks!
Not yet. Litestream doesn't support moving the primary node around. However, we'll be adding support for writing to a streaming back up directly in LiteFS soon. You might be able to get away with using a static primary node and running Litestream on there but I haven't tried that yet.
Artix DC-SCM: An Open Source BMC on the Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA
As someone who had to automate OpenSSL workflows often enough (fortunately, way in the past), the described automated signing workflow sounds much like an automated signing workflow. While I hope that the mentioned 200 character line width is being used more as a literary device (elevating snarkiness) than for an actual argument, I fear the latter.

Having said that, don't all (public) SSL signing workflows use web technologies in some way? To me, using some web technologies (aka 'kool aid') specifically made for this purpose, such as jwk, feels better than having some intermediaries sending back and forth CSRs, keys, and whatsoever using home-made interfaces and data structures.
If so, that's by design in a way.

That's an indicator that your root level certs are not being maintained or updated. That risk is worse than just a few certificate authorities not being recognized.
So, every time that the bus turns onto a non-electrified street, get out of the bus to take the wires off?
Love mine. There's an advanced launcher plugin for "run or raise" functionality.

I've got a little script to do the same for web pages, but I have an extended it yet to search for any open tab rather than just the ones that are currently active in the top window. I deal with this by having websites specific launchers.
I wish Notion weren’t on this list. No offense to Notion, I’m a fan of the product, just that “raising at a $2B valuation” is kind of an anti goal.
The few apps people install are a bit better. In general people don't install apps, but if they do they just install facebook, chat, and streaming service apps. Only those companies have the resources to build a good apps.

Nearly ever other app is much worse than the web site in a mobile browser because most business just don't have the resources to build good apps.
> Larger sites don't have this problem.

All larger sites? Wikipedia uses lets encrypt (although it may depend which data center you hit, i think, not sure). Stack overflow uses lets encrypt.

If its only small sites maybe lets encrypt isn't the problem.
You’ll worry less about what people think about you when you realize how seldom they do.

The city has to then add trucks to cover this downtime. It's not only the 3 hours of charging every day, it's the time the truck takes to drive to a station, so maybe 4 hours a day.

NYC has 2800 snow plows. They would have to increase their fleet another 33% or so. That's 900 to 1000 trucks for a tax-funded service. This extra cost excludes the change in logistics, etc.
I wanted a RAV4 Prime. But they are difficult to get, and without a credit they no longer make financial sense. The TCO is lower just buying the hybrid.
"Snuff out" seems like clickbait. There's no way mobile browsers are going away. That's not the issue.

Meanwhile, I've never used a Twitter, Mastodon, or Reddit mobile app, for example. Also, Android keeps disabling permissions on mobile apps I haven't used for months.

There are a few mobile apps I use frequently. (Mostly from Google.) For everyone else, I'm not going to install your app.
