The main issue when it comes to using Debian or most conventional package managers (nix really deserves its own mention there) is that you also pretty much distro lock your software, which may not be always beneficial. Another problem comes now in the form of distribution; packaging is one thing, distributing is another. Debian isn't too bad about this but depending on your choice of packager[0], you could suddenly need to spend another couple days trying to figure out how to even host the thing unless you want to spend time running wget on your production machines to pull in deb/RPM/makepkg output/pick your poison files.

Nix deserves its own mention because while it pretty much singlehandedly tries to solve all major issues with dependency management, it also... does so by abandoning almost every assumption most people have about how the OS is supposed to work (not to mention that writing nix files is basically learning a whole new language which is... doable but not exactly accessible). It's definitely the stronger solution compared to dockerfiles, but you can translate any program for any distro into a dockerfile as long as it runs on your kernel (alongside the fact that a dockerfile is a really good way to deal with the "documentation abandoned 5 years ago, but it runs on Dave's machine if you follow the README and change about 50 different small settings in your OS" projects which are done a dozen with FOSS projects).

Docker is a mess technically but when it comes to software you want to use/deploy but don't want to understand all the fine details of the source code, it is often a lot easier to work with compared to Nix, which if you have something not in nixpkgs, can result in you needing to start making upstream patches to genericize build directories and generally change peoples CI flows in ways maintainers don't necessarily appreciate.

tldr; nix is good, docker is easy.

[0] It's been a few years but the worst package distribution system I've had the displeasure to use are Ubuntu PPAs. It's a system close to the Debian specification but it requires a whole set of separate commands and weird signing steps before you can upload anything, none of which is properly documented because they expect people that want to use PPAs to shove it in a makefile, which isn't useful if you don't use a language that relies on Makefiles, but I digress.
On a life insurance form, I was asked "Has a doctor ever advised you to stop taking any drugs (including prescription medications)?"

I called up and asked them what to do about this question, because obviously the answer is yes if you include prescription medications. They didn't even understand what I was asking.
We get something like ten of these a year.

Yeah this project is still pretty early in development. The main algorithm described on the site is implemented but there's a lot missing that developers would expect from a system like this. Trying to make a version control system and hosting platform in my free time while working a full-time job is not exactly an easy task haha. I plan on adding more features in the next few months.
I find it very hard to believe that the ambiguity isn't deliberate.

I imagine at least 90% of people, upon seeing an option to enable privacy protection, would enable it. But by making the option confusing, you'll end up with people that want it on and inadvertently turn it off.

It certainly wouldn't be Facebook's only dark pattern.
That automated weather frequency relies on METAR data from the Aviation Weather Service here in the US, and that's where ATC gets their information from as well when they're advising pilots of surface winds when giving landing clearance.

Per the source, 167 airport weather stations are not reporting correctly (either due to a highly unlikely concurrent fault with the stations, or more likely an issue with the system they report to).

Local weather is always used, but that's precisely what is unavailable right now.
If you lose your U2F security key, are you sure you'll be able to remove it from your Google account? Because what I'm experiencing right now is that they support TOTP and you can't remove it if you lose it..

Shouldn't this be a discussion about how law enforcement search powers are getting out of control, then?
Your average heat pump doesn’t burn wood, and wood is, in several respects, an excellent fuel. It’s renewable, it’s easy and safe to store, it’s dense, and it’s easy and safe to transport.

(Yes, on a large scale, it’s better for everyone to use heat pumps. But heat pumps plus wood for backup in unusually cold weather may also be a good choice.)

On an industrial scale, some form of nitrogen-free combustion may simplify CO2 capture. And, if a CO2-capturing plant needs to remove nitrogen from a gas stream, removing it from the intake stream instead of the exhaust stream may eliminate the need for catalytic reduction. Also, the intake gas is clean and cool, and there’s no risk of contamination the zeolite adsorption bed (or whatever gets used) with soot.
You really think we'd be better off with such sites flooded with Nazi propaganda and Conspiracy theories?

Or (as is more likely) if those sites started restricting who could post things?

Actual freedom requires some restraint. Every "american" freedom recognises this from speech to religion to arms.

And that's without asking why a few billionaires who inherited major newspapers should be allowed to decide instead...
While I have a ton of favorite math books, the two books that I felt really helped me the relevant subject are:

* An Introduction to Manifolds by Loring Tu

* The Elements of Integration and Lebesgue Measure by Robert G. Bartle.

These two books were instrumental to my studying for my qualifying exams.

> They could keep the site menu on the left and stick the TOC on the right (keeping it visible all the time is definitely an improvement, and the thing I like most about this redesign).

Interestingly, the work toward implementing this new version of Vector allows any skin to decouple the TOC from the page content in MW 1.38+. It wasn't possible to move the page-generated ToC out of the content body before without resorting to JS/CSS hacks or implementing a parallel ToC generator in the skin or as an extension.

Sir, in complete humility, you need to take a deep breath and shed whatever bad junk is embedded deep inside you. Your response is both: not about what was said, and re-enforcing negative stereotypes people have about engineers being arrogant and naive.

I get you might be scared for some reason, or think you're the best most invaluable engineer in the world. But let me introduce you to a team of 1000 more engineers just like you that I've lead, fired, replaced, etc. Be humble, be realistic, know how you contribute and do it. Doing the hard work is a big part of the work, not just the whatever you want to do. Of course people value engineering, but they aren't the only thing that makes a product go.
I assume the stink come from chemicals excreted by other living things eating the dead ones. So the stink is not a sign that your trunks are less full of life, just that it got new tenants.
Having watched Apple wrestle with "rumors sites" for decades and eventually develop a symbiotic relationship with them for its benefit, I'm going to posit that nothing's actually changed. Apple "leaked" this news to cool analyst and market expectations.

Apple will (and was always going to) launch this new product line whenever the necessary technology, user experience, and manufacturing dependencies allow them to execute on their 1.0 vision. In the meantime, they continue to develop the platform in plain sight: https://www.apple.com/augmented-reality/
Math always seemed a bit arbitrary to me. Why and how did all those fields and branches develop, why are some so much more intuitive than others etc. What helped me cope with that challenge (and ultimately be a better learner / user of mathematics) was digging into the history of mathematics. Many great books in that genre but a very influential one for me was the Concise History of Mathematics by Dirk Jan Struik
To pick a nit, Iverson did this with APL and I still think it's brilliant. Executable math. It's time will come, I hope.
>The country cares, but a few ultra determined parties care more.

The sooner people realize that the "ultra determined" don't actually care about the issue, the better. They care about acquiring power. Pushing on abortion was a good way to get people riled up to vote for them. The people doing the pushing were using it as a tool to manipulate voters, they do not actually care. A lot of people have been made to care, of course, but the people pulling the strings do not. Any issue that can get people passionate will be used this way.

Well, the people who have Dunning-Kruger don’t have impostor syndrome. Wonder what the ratio is between the two, and the distribution.
Then there is Facebook which won’t let you use your email or phone if hacker changes those. Your email was changed 20 minutes ago? Clearly the one you used for 15 years isn’t trustworthy anymore. Zero way to talk to a human about it.
There’s also a correlation with childhood trauma and attachment.

Unsafe, startling environment demanding a deer-like constant awareness and adaptation? Less control over more scattered attention habits and the related issues with memory.
Elements was a school textbook for 2000 years, up until ~100 years ago. It's a fine book to use for self-study.

I'd argue most of the vegetarian/vegan food is going to be cooked alongside meat, especially burgers. You're not getting a special griddle when it comes to prep. The closest I've seen is cooking the vegetarian food earlier and putting it in a steamer, but who wants anything that was prepared 6 hours ago let alone steamed?.

I guess I just don't understand the whole concept. I went to vegan expo thing way back in the day at UCLA and nearly every vendor was pretty much "our fake meat" which was odd because I assumed they didn't like meat, yet clearly do. Very confusing.
Google Research 2022 and Beyond: Language, Vision and Generative Models

No chance the FAA lets people use homemade recycled plastic oil in their turbojet engines. Jet turbines are very tolerant of different fuels, but this is a bridge too far.
You’re missing the point.

There is always some efficiency loss at every stage, but we’re turning something that is not ideal for human consumption (conventional field corn) to something that is very palatable.

Because its a language model and really does not query information but assumes relationships with them. Meaning that "the words" have to be encoded and brought into relation by text.

Now there are different ways to achieve this, but in essence because it has to know everything all at once plus instructions on how to handle that.

You can actually ask it to explain to you how you could create a natural language processing algorithm yourself and it will even give you a starter framework in the language of your choice. But a fair warning, for me it was like a 6 hour deep rabbit hole :D
Interesting. About 10 years ago I got a job offer from a three letter federal agency that would've required a clearance. I ultimately declined so I never started the process, but I was told that past drug use (weed, at least) wasn't necessarily a deal breaker while being caught lying about past drug was an automatic fail.
Thanks for the response. If you haven't already, I'd hit up the author as they've done and continue to regularly do similar benchmarks
Do you have a solution (with your go-to-tools) to put data with coordinates directly into an interactive map, for example leaflet? That is something I really like (and use extensivly) about datasette respectivly the plugins.

Agree, and as a sibling suggested, I think we're already experiencing the beginnings of it.

Only if you create an account and log in, right? I've gotten along without having a Wikipedia account for the last 20 years, I guess now I have to make one. If that was a product goal, it was a very sneaky success.
I have 2FA backup codes! They let me log into my account! But using only backup codes, I cannot remove the lost 2FA. So now I have 8 consumable backup codes and after that I will not be able to access the account.

To remove the lost 2FA, I need a fresh 2FA code. No alternatives given.
spivak calculus
I wonder if there is a gender gap here when it come to self talk. Most articles I've read about affirmations are usually written by women. For me as a man I just don't identify with things like: "you are enough", my self talk is usually some expletive ridden tirade about what I'm doing wrong.
Not necessarily, if he gets a lot of airtime and is seen as identifying and fixing problems he could get a real big boost. Most of the problems the Transportation Secretary has to deal with are the fault of aging systems, a limited budget from congress, etc.
Most, if not all dryers vent to the outdoors.

Some particles make it through the lint trap into the hot/humid air stream into the environment.

Normal wear of the garments will shed micro particles from just rubbing up against them.
Really? At what point do we blame the victim because this is so obvious to me.

I keep the TOTP and only sometimes keep the backup codes

I avoid the issue created from losing my phone, because the next device can generate codes immediately by importing or scanning the TOTP

Right now you pay an extra $1 or more for the Impossible version of a burger, so there was a spike of curious people trying it once, and now it's leveled off to the much smaller number of people who are willing to pay the premium regularly. But getting the average consumer to switch requires competitive pricing. This shouldn't be surprising to anyone.
Ask HN: Creative Sabbatical Yes or No?
My question is concise I been working since Im 16 and in software since I'm 17 now I am 29 and I feel burnt out. I have been considering taking a 6 months sabbatical but Im worried this might look bad on my CV. During this time I wanted to rest and learn new techs, do projects and take care a bit of myself. What do you guys think?
> As I explained in my statement, cows are finished at factory farms

No. They live there from birth to death. A factory farm is not a slaughterhouse. You seem to mistake them for it.

https://thehumaneleague.org/article/factory-farmed-cows

> At no point did I claim anything about how cows don’t consume a massive amount of grain.

You actually did. You said in repeated comments to me and others that in the west the cows consume grass. And showed it as an argument against the food inefficiency criticism.
Presumably the noxious byproducts are released during the oil recycling process? It would explain where all of that missing mass went. But if this is the case you'll still need to filter the gas so there is little benefit.
> these companies are not run by tech people

This is a huge problem, I agree, but it's not why the redundancy and HA get built the way it does. That's still coming from IS in the orgs I've had exposure too. The business side would rather we do things quicker and easier and not put as many technical roadblocks to vendor selection and build roadmaps.

Law enforcement searches aren't the only risk here.
Just use a different 3rd party authenticator app
It doesn’t.

The threat model is someone gets your password, not somebody gets access to your password manager.

If the latter is your threat model then yes having your 2F in there is worse, but really the former is the more common thing to protect against and the tradeoff of not having 2F in your 1Password and getting locked out because your phone breaks is worse than the risk of having it in there.

It’s similar to the tradeoff of having a nano yubikey always in your laptop or a large one on your keys. For most people the nano is better (though you should have a second one in either case)
Why do you need qr codes if a user account can be associated with multiple webauthn credentials on the server side? Surely a user can log in with any device then?

Can someone explain, please?

Who is meant by "big boys" and "bagholders" here?

Bagholders are holders of (smalls amounts of) Bitcoin, trivial.

Big boys are the folks running the shady exchanges that basically borrowed money ("loans") and bought bitcoin with that, is that right?

I don’t really see any evidence of mutiny. Some people who work there are anonymously airing their complaints to a newspaper.

highly recommend replit's 100 days of code course: https://replit.com/learn/100-days-of-python/

it's a 100 day course that takes you from no coding knowledge to being able to work with databases, build web apps, an even work with OpenAI's API to build AI apps by day 100.
Try enrolling another 2FA method while you're in there.
To avoid a situation like this, I keep backup screenshots of the 2FA QR codes stored off-line on an encrypted USB drive.
>The suit argues that recommendations can count as their own form of content produced by the platform, removing them from the protection of Section 230.

Aside from the obvious point that all sites from day one had something similar to a "recommendation" algo, can you sue someone for recommending something that turns out bad? If the NYT recommends a restaurant and I go and get food poisoning, are they liable for that?
Just to add on this `?useskin=vector-2022` will show the new one.
It boils down to a semantic argument. People have differing definitions of what it means to "think about committing suicide". If you're up on top of a tall object and happen to imagine yourself plummeting over the edge even without any intention to do so, some people will consider that "thinking about it", and some people won't.

The useful interpretation is to exercise empathy and put yourself in the mind of the person writing the questionnaire, and ask what definition they are likely using. For example, your therapist doesn't care if you had a random intrusive thought thirty years ago, they care if you presently have actual designs of self-harm. Likewise, in the OP, the person interpreting the security clearance doesn't care if you were accidentally caught up in a silly witch hunt when you were 12.
I'm wondering - how much microplastics come from _bicycle_ tires? I mean, surely it's a lot less, but how much less? Say, per bike km ridden?
Hey, thank you so much for trying to help me.

On what page do you see the Authenticator app listed? I suspect it's on the "Two Factor Auth" page. My problem is that I cannot even load that page. I click on "Security" in the menu, and it's when I click on "Two factor auth" to do any 2fa-related task, that's when I'm forced to log in and provide a 2fa code (which I do not have)
I'll precede this by stating that I'm all for abortion. I'm European and the only problem I have with abortion in my country is that it's a law rather than being coded into the constitution.

That said, the way it worked in the US never made sense to me. The idea of establishing trimesters from a Supreme Court decision seems contrived to say the least, not to mention the way the relationship to the constitution was drawn.

It further baffles me how many people seem to act as if what SCOTUS did was a ban on abortion. States are free to choose, so if the country actually does care it ought to show in the ballot box.

Abortion is only illegal in 5 states of the European Union (Malta, Vatican City, Liechtenstein, Andorra, and Poland) and yet I would oppose a European law establishing the right to abortion on all of its members. It's for them to decide.
