I went to www.localharvest.org and checked out the top three results for my location. They all seemed like a much worse option than my current supermarket (right now I do all my groceries at a supermarket that's 5 minutes walk from my apartment) for a few reasons:

- Delivery: it looks like they have a fixed day of the week depending on zip code, and no ability to choose a time slot within the day. This is a dealbreaker for me since I can't commit to being at home all day and I don't have anyone who could receive and put away groceries for me.

- Selection: they only carry produce, which isn't a surprise, but I'd have to go to my supermarket for some stuff anyway.

- Price: they seemed a bit more costly, maybe because I can't pick and choose individual items I want the way I can at a supermarket.

I think I would use such a service if I had more money (currently I'm a grad student) and flexibility/free time to be able to stay at home. I do like fresh local produce and would appreciate that angle for sure. Thanks for bringing this to my attention anyway!
It's certainly been a while since I looked at the CD for Vocalese.
I have had a few panic attacks before and I 100% can see how a breathing excessive could trigger that. One of the things they tell you to do when having one is slow your breathing and do the 5-4-3-2-1 technique (https://www.bradencenter.com/5-4-3-2-1-grounding-technique/).

So if you usually associate slowing your breathing down with when you are having a panic attack it could trigger one for some people. For example, mine usually was triggered as soon as I laid down to go to sleep for some reason. I could fall asleep on the couch fine, but for some reason in the bed it was completely different.
Yes, we use ClamAV at work.

The reason is maybe the least satisfying of all. Because there is a rule somewhere saying that all workstations have to have an antivirus, Linux or Windows, same rules. Since "apt install clamav" is easier than arguing against the rulemakers again, that's what we did. And it is also not completely stupid, Linux viruses exist, and detecting malware on unaffected system is good too, because chances are that uncaught files will end up on vulnerable systems later. But really, the main reason we installed an antivirus to comply with some corporate rules.
The link between childhood abuse and neglect and mental illness like depression is well documented.
I don’t. I guess I blindly trust the packages in arch and ready the pkgbuilds in aur. Never found and virus issues.
Yeah, we are actively working on correlation. We have metrics, traces and logs in a single app - so we should be able to provide a seamless correlation.

Thanks for the point about Notebooks, we have not thought in detail on how people use that. Is it primarily to collaborate between team members when an incident happens or even when there is no incident, and you are analysing stuff
> you are, of course, at liberty to move along

I am also at liberty to offer a comment on it on this here comment section... If you feel like the point of this site is to offer silent upvotes, you are at liberty to do that.
Most software used comes from repositories. Most of the time the user is not logged in as root. Any virus would have to exploit a system vulnerability, if that is common and serious enough to cause harm then anti-virus software will take longer to catch than it will take to be automatically fixed by updates.
IIRC the City of LA actually has its own elevator inspectors, but if I'm not mistaken CA has inspectors that cover the rest of the state. An elevator inspector told me this directly to my face, but it was some time ago so I could be a bit off. But you get the general point I was trying to make.
Link does not work for me. Says Experimet not available.
But do you expect it as a user? I find that I do behave differently on IRC and Slack just because of my perception of the history.

On IRC, I have a bouncer mostly to receive the message while I'm offline. But I write down the important information immediately, because I consider it ephemeral.

On Slack, I consider that the history is there to stay, so I don't save it anywhere else. Even if I often lose information because I can't find it anymore.
Is there any kind of browser extension that detects this sort of spam?

I know that's a really tall order, but I'd love some kind of tool that tries to do something close to this, even if it's just a listing of other sites that have the same text with a button click.
> at the detriment of the US

Somehow people around here in the balkans have been getting the feeling that pretty much every thing every EU country did in the last year, has been favorable to US and detrimental to european citizens... Be it Scholz, Macron, ursula, etc. Whatever move they do, people of europe lose, and US gains something.
I played hundreds and hundreds of hours of 3, NV, and 4. Multiple play-throughs of each, and then lots of screwing around with mods.

I played 76 for about two hours and gave up. It's just not the same. I guess that's not inherently bad, if people want different. But I wouldn't say that if you liked 4 that it is definitely worth playing 76.
Where I used to work I was asked to automate one very time consuming but relatively simple database swap. Every month we needed to move data from an internal database to one that was open to the public. It was simple but it took lots of time so we thought it could be automated. Well it turned out to be very unreliable. There was always some point were it would fail. Someone had to babysit it. We couldn't ever be sure if it worked.

My suspicion is that most jobs that seem like they can be automated will not be fully automated and someone will always have to make sure it's working right. Real life is too varied and machines are unlikely to cope with it.

I doubt that in a few years from now we will see any fully automated fast food places.
No one said we need unlimited exponential growth.
if really enforce this then I'm curious how you maintain high quality of discussion in there. Slack for me is like an explicit outlet for all the low-quality peripheral discussion that causes problems or confusion if it ends up in the ticket itself. There's definitely a question of discipline in ensuring that info ends up back in the ticket, but it usually just comes down to finishing up the slack conversation with "Can you update the ticket with this?" and they copy the useful parts, put a link to the discussion thread if it's useful and we're done.
At work we have to run Microsoft defender on Linux. Seems pretty good. I don't even notice it.
play fallout 4 and then 76 and tell me which is more overmonetized. Even better if you can somehow play the launch fallout 76 before they started taking back their "game design decisions" that removed NPCs and the entire story was told through reading and tapes. Don't forget your premium fallout 76 monthly subscription.
Unless you've specifically disable Defender, you're using it.
That was a pretty good patio11!
HR? It's not HR. It's competition. Unless your company is a monopoly or protected in some way by the government through regulation, if you do not do that, you go out of business. I can tell you aren't a startup founder.
I continue to think people are holding Slack wrong.

The secret is this: Turn off desktop/phone notifications completely. Turn off icon badging. Use Slack as an async messaging tool. Come back to it every so often and batch process messages in your own time. It's great for that. If you let it interrupt you on its own terms, you're going to have a bad time.

Also, turn off @channel and @here notifications on most channels.

To be fair, all the wires he uses are pre-cut / pre-shaped for the video. The videos are meticulously planned and marvelously executed. Normally hobby projects do not have nearly as much thought put into them.
The thing below - one of the links at the bottom goes to its "Show HN" page, where people can check that only received 4 points. Many people discuss REPL tricks here, so I didn't expect it to flop so miserably...

Show HN: Eev and TikZ, or: how to learn TikZ using a REPL (twu.net)

Hi all, I made a video that at first sight is about a way to use REPLs to explore TikZ - and TikZ is a huge (La)TeX package for drawing graphics...

At second sight that video is about a series of tricks for using REPLs in Emacs, and TikZ is just an excuse to present them. As far as I know those tricks are very unusual; they implement a kind of "meta-REPL" that controls other REPLs, and they do that in a way that is much simpler, and much easier to hack, than Org's code blocks and than the cells in Jupyter notebooks.

The page has lots of screenshots and links, and it has instructions for downloading the video and its subtitles, and for reading the subtitles in plain text. I tried to make everything as accessible as possible for the people who just want to watch the the first two parts of the video - "Introduction" and "Trying it" - in super-high speed.

I'm especially interested in pointers to related work. Cheers, have fun, etc! =)

Plus they have (or had, just going off of my personal experience) very unethical sales practices.
Fair enough. Still, after many decades in software, the current ethos feels so different as to be unrecognizable from where I started. I learned to program on an Apple ][+. To start, I was not business driven; I primarily explored software and hardware, without a particular business end in mind.

Later, after studying engineering, I moved more into caring about problems and products. Over time, I found more and more companies wanted the benefits of having skilled software developers, but they seems to primarily want the businessified version -- solve the problem at hand while punting obvious existential problems down the road.

Sure, many Silicon Valley startups say they want "passionate" programmers, but they didn't usually embrace the tradeoffs that go along with it ... time and resources to explore, supporting risk taking, and fostering a culture where some experimentation is its own end (not merely a means).

Worse, these same companies that claimed to be business focused didn't even engineer well.

So often I saw a double failure: a lack of both the long-term exploration and tactical execution. Somehow both got lost.

There are exceptions of organizations that have healthy, adaptive cultures that internalize continual assessment and improvement, ranging across team interactions, software quality, user experience, and organizational processes.

Perhaps I was too naive and didn't fully appreciate the difficulty here; my progression in engineering has generally coincided with me lowering my expectations. I mean this as a trend line only; I have seen some impressive exceptions, but they tend to be unusual and fairly narrow in scope.

For example, the best product vision I've ever seen was coupled with a seemingly distracted CEO.

This is just one thread of my experience, I'm sure others have seen many other things. I for one would really enjoy reading reflections on working in the software industry.

For myself and perhaps other "passionate" programmers, learning to dial down "caring" and attempting to fit in with imperfect cultures is very hard. It would be one thing if the people in control seemed to understand the situation and showed empirically good results.
Ah yes, the pleasures of getting ISO certification.
I won't speculate on the top-level strategies of companies competing with another, so take this as a grain of salt.

From my perspective (maintainer, employed by a vendor), all of us who work for these different companies collaborate very well together. We all recognize that it's both technically tractable and fundamentally user-friendly to make instrumentation be a common standard that anyone can use to point at any of the OSS and commercial tools in this space. There's plenty to differentiate on with telemetry backends, querying experiences, API capabilities, data analysis tools and UX, etc. We have a long way to go to see this vision fully realized, but it's quite far along and I have no doubt we'll arrive at the right outcome here.
Sure, but now you're making the argument that the legal basis may be there but that to you it doesn't matter. A court isn't going to be very receptive to such an argument I'm afraid.

It's pretty thin ice, and if you mess up it will get costly especially with something that sees high rotation.
I thought this was real up until I got to the part about splitting a share with another family..
Igalia is that, in Spain:

Humans could identify the meaning of gestures “more than 50% of the time”. That’s really not a high bar to reach, especially as you’d expect most gestures to involve the parts of the body, or mimic the action the gesture is about.

Furthermore plenty of animals have display or signalling behaviours, and we can often figure out what those mean. Ancestral memory of some kind really seems a stretch.

If we could identify even non obvious gestures maybe 90+% of the time, that might require a better explanation than just figuring it out, but if it was that high I suspect the article would have said so.
Why does everyone find much stronger genetic effects than parental in adoption studies?

“Little intergenerational correlation in education was observed in the absence of genetic similarity between parent and child—that is, among adoptees.”

https://gwern.net/docs/genetics/heritable/adoption/2021-lude...

“By examining parent-offspring resemblance in a sample of offspring that are among the oldest of any adoption study of IQ to date, we have effectively tested for the presence of parenting effects that would have persisted for more than a decade after the conclusion of the typical rearing period. No such persistence is found to occur in our unique sample.”

https://gwern.net/docs/iq/2021-willoughby.pdf

In an adoptive sample of Korean Americans parental income was unrelated to offspring income.

I always tell people looking at Datadog to remember "DDDD" or "DataDog Don't Discount".

Compared to most Enterprise vendors it is a lot harder to get a discount from Datadog. Most vendors will give you 1/3 off just for signing a contract and committing to a spend, Datadog is not like that.
I've used Discord for work chat before. It's not designed for that, but it does a better job than Slack, MS Teams, or Google Chat.
I made a Sudoku game last month for fun:

https://kjabr.github.io/Sudoku/

Just wanted to see if I could figure out how to generate a working Sudoku board on the fly quickly. My target was under 1 second. After the board is built where all the numbers are random, then the code removes numbers also randomly in order to play the game. That randomness turned out to be a nice little challenge :-)

It seems to work okay for the most part. Myself and other family members play it often now.. which is really cool. There are no scores. If you guess wrong there is no penalty. Just low key, low stress game.
> I don't use it on any OS

You don't even leave the built-in Windows Security (or Defender) running on Windows?

I haven't noticed any performance impact or false positives in the years it's been running, and it is supposed to be highly effective. Better safe than sorry I guess.

Although I have never had a virus in 30+ years.
Alternative theory: "humans are pretty smart and good at understanding animals." There's a fair amount of supporting evidence for that theory. I can understand a dog's gestures pretty well too. Does this mean I have some kind of Dune style genetic memory of when my ancestors first tamed wolves?
>Do artists not own copyright on artwork which comprises other sources (eg. collage, sampled music)? It’d be hard to claim that eg. Daft Punk doesn’t own copyright on their music.

Agreed. By that logic, William S Burroughs wouldn't own his best novels:

It already is a new grift. The same AI snake oil scam to be another VC exit scam to the next sucker. DoNotPay is just one of the many AI scams.

This is absolutely true, and I completely agree. When I'm writing code related to git, I have lots of 'repo and 'tree lifetimes, and I think that's much more readable than 'a and 'b.

I think it'd be a really good idea for the standard library to change many of its lifetimes to be descriptive, to encourage others to do the same. With my libs-api team hat on, I'd happily merge PRs that do that. (In small batches, please, not the whole library at once.)
Agreed, the rant about Jira really made it seem like a management issue. At our company tickets are only created for the upcoming three sprints, anything that hasn't been done in three months is deleted as it's obviously not important
I found the Apple Watch breathe exercise in the meditation app more useful and relaxing. Lungy was rather frustrating.
Ask HN: How do I get my own health tracker manufactured?
Hey HN, question.

I have been wearing wearable health trackers (think fitbit) for a little while and have been thinking about what I would like to see in the next one - but that never comes out (actually wanting less).

It got me thinking - is it possible to have custom hardware manufactured?

I would love to make a wearable health tracker as an open source project. I can write the OS and basic sensor interpretation but acquiring the hardware to do it is challenging.

People talk about hardware design and manufacturing in China, is that accessible?

How would one even approach this? Is it even a realistic goal for a normie?
Smart Contract Review of the Proof-of-Humanity Universal Basic Income Token
ImGUI is great, but i wouldn't call it "versatile", it's too rigid to be versatile

It's too focused on desktop (mouse/kb), and you can't really theme it other than its colors and shape of the edges, doesn't support animations and you can't style the font, it's pretty basic

Creating custom controls is a ton of work

Then you have libraries like this: https://lvgl.io/ (gh: https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl)

That's what i call a versatile GUI library
I have done the mail switch with fastmail. Now my gmail account is a catch all for websites I don't care about.
If it were open source and self hostable, could you convince people to make emails, internal documentation, slack etc. be the training data for an LLM to make an omnipotent organizational guru who can participate in planning sessions, help onboard people, etc?

This is a bit "circular". Presumably the researchers have determined what these gestures mean, and now they're asking other humans to see if they can get the same meanings that these researcher-humans determined. We don't know for sure what the apes think.

So we've shown that the way a group of human researchers interpret ape gestures is the same way many other humans from a self-selected subset interpret ape gestures.
Yeah I tried using the chatbot function, it said the query would take 17 secs but it never actually showed anything.
But we take full responsibility.
Yes, this is also what I'd say to the author's points about it being distracting. But Slack search and scroll UIs are both really slow and clumsy. I don't think I'm using those wrong.
I wrote Namaste, and the N for that looked more like an R. I tried again with Normalization and it produced correct letters. Then I wrote namaste and it wrote it correctly as well. Wonder why it doesn't like "N" in Namaste. :D

I may be an outlier here. But I strongly prefer not to optimize for speed when building an MVP. Because it just _never_ (at least in my experience) gets a chance to be fully rewritten into something better. The idea of an MVP is to prove the market need and if it’s proven, the wheels are already turning and it’s impossible to resist the pull.

So you end up with a bunch of tech debt or just inefficient stack that poisons your codebase from day 1. I think the initial gain is just not worth it in the grand scheme of things.

So we always are trying to use the best possible production stack. Not overengineer - just use the best solution for the long run. Long term gains beat marginal short term benefits.

Currently our stack for a pretty small eng team is Go, React, GQL and Flutter for mobile. Works pretty well for us.

But as I said, I could be an outlier here :)
Appreciate the distinction in the above comment that they are two distinct questions, but also agree the two questions are very connected.

I should've been more specific: I was thinking mainly of the artists v. stable diffusion lawsuit which makes the specific technical claim that the stable diffusion software (which includes a bunch of "weights files") includes compressed copies of the training data. (Line 17, "By training Stable Diffusion on the Training Images, Stability caused those images to be stored at and incorporated into Stable Diffusion as compressed copies", https://stablediffusionlitigation.com/pdf/00201/1-1-stable-d...).

I expect that if the decision hinges on this claim, that could have far reaching implications re: model licensing. I think this along the lines of what you've laid out here!

That's a nice tip. Personally I want to never get a RealID. They keep pushing the flights deadline back anyway, and maybe the more of us lag, the longer they'll have to delay it.
The worst offender is YouTube which translates all video or music titles to English, but I already understand the original title. Translation often just made it harder to understand and to search.
A hypothetical example: you are the Supreme Leader of Slevobistan, and you want to make your domestic widget industry as strong as possible. Your rival nation Flerovia has a well-developed industry making low cost, high quality widgets with economies of scale.

Case A: Slevobistan is starting from scratch, has no domestic widget production whatsoever. In this case, if you fully open your market up to Flerovia, you will never get any on-shore widget industry! Startup domestic producers will be out-competed by the experienced Flerovian widget empires. Protectionist policies will make it harder for you to get cheap high-quality widgets in the short term, but they are necessary to build up your widget industry in the long term.

Case B: Slevobistan already has an advanced widget industry, and you want to preserve it. In this case, protectionist policies, by insulating your industry from competition, could allow it to fall behind and decline. Free trade will ensure continued competition, pushing your widget industry to innovate and improve.

As for empirical evidence, the historical record shows many examples of countries using protectionism to get ahead. For example USA (Civil War was in part over protectionism vs free trade, protectionist Northern industry won), Asian tigers, China…
In fairness, I don’t think rust in web dev makes any sense outside of personal hobby projects. I’m not surprised there’s lots of abandoned and unfinished projects there. That’s not an important area.
