Disregarding the supplement regiment, lunch and dinner appear pretty sensible. Broccoli, Lentils, and Mushrooms for lunch every day sounds a little repetitive. Lunch could just as easily be a different soup or stew every day, with a lot more variety. Instead he appears to be blending it into a gazpacho.

The post is entirely useless from any technical perspective. It talks about pure FP languages. Then about OCaml and concurrency without much detail or distinction.

I read a lot, usually history but I've been getting back into fiction

I really liked The Three Body Problem, I've over a thousand pages in the last month in this series. I also enjoyed The Poppy War and Dune.

The best nonfiction I read recently was Blackshirts and Reds and A People's History of the Supreme Court.

It's not quite HN material, but I also absolutely loved The Nix. It's a book I described to my friends as "nothing happens" by which I mean all character stuff.

I’m setting up a system with multiple AAD B2C tenants, so I get the joy of switching back and forth between the primary tenant and the B2C tenants frequently (at least until I can finish automating enough of the B2C provisioning bits).

I don’t yet have enough context to fully evaluate against cognito. It may end up being nice to have B2C as a first class AAD tenant, but until I get far enough along to realize those benefits, there will be a lot more cursing under my breath about the need for another layer of identity and the lack of control plane access through azure resource manager APIs/tooling.

Almost certainly due to Azure's broken policy where we have critical change advisory's that block deployments for huge periods of time towards the end of the year because of Black Friday and then holidays. Every team has basically been unable to deploy since the week before Thanksgiving when a surprise CCOA was pushed out by leadership at the behest of a certain big customer... then there was the World Cup and the winter holidays. Nobody could really deploy anything from a week before Thanksgiving until a week after the New Years... almost two months worth of batched changes and every team YOLO button pressing as soon as they could in January.

And now layoffs so everyone is super unmotivated! Excellent stuff going on right now from Microsoft senior leadership.

> I get to benefit from lower prices that these places can charge

In theory. I have no illusions that other people tipping will lower my prices. The business owner will simply see an increase in revenue in most cases. In many cases, it would even be used as justification to pay their employees less unless they can bring in tips; this already happens at most restaurants.

I'd much rather hold the business owner to the expectation that they have a viable business strategy and pay their workers an appropriate amount while also charging their customers an appropriate amount.

The money that paid for my flat came from a startup, that startup was set up in one of those small European countries where the state taxes people heavily and pays for many things.

In the years when I earned less than the average taxi driver, we we wrote our code and didn't worry about health insurance. We received no subsidies, but the the state^Wpublic paid a lot, and then later the public paid for the products we developed. Unfair?

Those same small European countries have a lot of successful businesses. One might suspect that paying for innovation brings profit — on average. I personally think it does.

It's great that Moderna exists IMO, even if its existence involves paying both before and after the product reached saleability.
Right; which is why all the things on that list are so important. We can’t seem to stop the endless flood of memory bugs in C/C++ code. Iirc 65% of security issues in chrome are due to memory bugs. But we can move to Rust and friends, where those bugs are a lot harder to write.

We’ll never get the bug count to 0. That isn’t the goal. The goal is to get the number of in-the-wild exploited vulnerabilities as low as possible. And there’s all sorts of ways to move the needle on that, which don’t require humans to suddenly become infallible.

I think some of these issues stem from the paid subscriptions part (especially the lack of an RSS feed). I'm not very familiar with RSS, but is there a solution for authenticated RSS yet?

The authentication could be used to validate that you're a subscriber, and push out subscriber-only content, allowing creators to monetize in more ways while also keeping the platform open.

If you are open to fiction - I came across an entire genre called LitRPG which is combination of RPG-game style elements in the form of a book. It is mostly written by young gamers so the writing quality is pretty basic but various authors explore different gaming-related creative elements very well. Couple of books to start with in this genre are "Defiance of the fall" and "Dungeon Crawler Carl". The latter is even better as an audiobook vs regular book.

It's not like most Android vendors -- or their SoC providers -- aren't ignoring GPL anyway. Inside these drivers, there's nothing world-shatteringly innovative, except by not publishing the sources they are not showing the low quality job they do, and make reuse, updating of their devices more difficult.
> Factory farm companies have known that anti-biotics, hormones, and pesticides are causing increased rates of cancer and other (cough cough) disorders in the same way big oil knew that it was contributing to/causing global warming.

I feel like 2 out of these 3 are not like the other (i.e. pesticides are by definition usually pretty toxic and hormones can mess up living things in all sorts of ways). And even then you need to get more specific than the broad groups to say anything intelligent about them.

First step to being rationale is to be able to talk about it. You wont even say which field of science you don't like. Is it biology in general?

Ask HN: Is there such thing as “too many layers of error correction codes”?
I mean stacking of hardware and software ECC – like storage medium having own ECC layer, file system own ECC mechanisms and later file format stored with additional ECC data that later gets verified after loading data into ECC capable memory. Are there any patterns that would cause cascade effect of the level that would render scale of introduced errors so harmful to integrity and validity of data that it would have been better and less harmful to not layer any more levels of ECC?
Awful app. I tried using it because you can use it with the Apple Watch to listen to podcasts without a phone. This is essential for me, because I have a wifi Watch and like to run sans phone.

Apple Podcasts for the Watch apparently will not download any podcast over two hours for offline playback. This limit is not documented anywhere on their website or in any forum. I'm not even sure it's two hours. I just noticed episodes under two hours downloaded, and episodes over two hours didn't.

It is a dealbreaking defect that it cannot download long podcasts. It is also user-hostile and absurd they do not document this limit or at least show an error message.
Well points for honesty, at least. :)

What we need is to have ML inputs judged as they're being ingested. Like PageRank for data and sources.
The cabin air pressure requirement (psi) is more or less a constant, but the cabin air flow rate requirement (lbm/min) is a variable which depends on the number of passengers on board, the air temperature conditioning requirements, the cargo being carried, the altitude (outside air pressure), and the age/condition of the aircraft. (Things like rubber door seals are not perfect and develop leakage rates over time. Sometimes you can even hear it if you are near the door.) The engine pressure regulating/shutoff valve and the cabin outflow valve position are regulated by the pilot (legacy aircraft) or by the digital cabin pressure control system (current aircraft) to maintain the required flow and pressure (cabin altitude setting).

In ye olden days before a DCPCS, not only were the flow requirements not as stringent, but there was culture of "cheating the chart" when manually setting the system. More airflow = more fuel burn, and at one time pilots were compensated for minimizing fuel burn. Anyone can see that this is a perverse incentive from a safety standpoint, just look at what former astronaut Hoot Gibson did to the passengers on his 727 trying to save a buck and playing flight test pilot with paying passengers onboard.

Also, from a cabin crew perspective, drowsy passengers are conveniently compliant passengers.
I wonder if those two facts are connected.
Would You Pass the Google SQL Interview? Test Yourself with These 7 Concepts
>At a deeper level ORMs exist because SQL isn't what people want most of the time.

Definitely true. ORMs allow an on-rails experience for, I dunno, 80%? 85%? of what people want a DB for. The RDBMS is mostly treated as a durable storage system.

The real magic of an RDBMS only comes through when you get really, really complicated, and then you need SQL to manage these complex relationships. ORMs try to make that easier, but beyond a certain level it isn't less complex, just differently complex.

The ORM written in your preferred language means less context switching during development. Great idea, and a great tool.
We rely heavily on Redirect components, to support a "legacy" URL structure being forwarded to the current URLs. We are able to resolve these forwards server side during SSR. That whole feature was ripped out, with the suggestion that everyone just use the history API to redirect users, or write a whole bunch of separate controller logic in the server process. This, of course, was not a suitable substitute. When we looked at the "compatibility" plugin to help v5 users migrate to v6, they didn't include this feature in it at all.

Why is society better off when I'm allowed to drop bands on the truck stop stripper instead of buying toys for my kid?

The individual should not be forced at all steps to selflessly act in the benefit of society. There are a non-zero number of scenarios where unregistered securities have paid off to investors. Individuals should not be forced at every step to prove their acts benefit collectively society.
Oh what BS. If you are going to say something have the guts to say it. I honestly have no idea what disease you are referring to. Acne? Erictile dysfunction? Could be anything.
No. Error correction does add some cost, but never makes errors worse.
Do you use any of them regularly? I do. They're very different UX-wise.

My point is that users don't really care about the common rendering engine. It doesn't have much impact on the day to day UX.

Here's two books that will change the way you understand the non-Western world.

1. Coup d'Etat A Practical Handbook. I know, you never intend to organize a coup, why would you need a practical handbook? Well, coups or attempted coups are surprisingly frequent. Wikipedia has a list [1] of 60 attempted coups worldwide since 2010, a stunning 18 of which (30%) were successful.

2. The Dictator's Handbook. Yet another handbook. I think these titles, with their weird attempt of humor, are quite unfortunate. It's a shame. The content is great, but I wonder how many people don't buy the book because they feel insulted by the idea that they'd ever need a handbook to be a dictator. I know I felt that way. Well, don't take that title as an insult, just ignore it. The majority of the countries worldwide are led by dictators. It's quite important to understand how they think. This way it's easier to understand what's going on in the world.

> I was kind of hoping this was something based on MacOS 9-.

I miss proper spatial navigation sometimes. As a Windows owner I was often envious of MacOS up 9's spatial navigation. I briefly had my own spatial navigation on devices I owned in OS/2 WARP and that one time I was running Gnome-based distributions when Nautilus still had a somewhat buggy spatial navigation mode (which I admittedly compromised some of the design reasons behind spatial navigation by eventually switching to a tiling window manager). When I was old enough to finally own a Macintosh and a PC I was disappointed that Mac OS X had dropped some of the things I liked when working on a Macintosh such as spatial navigation.

Right I know what a C++ ABI is but I still don't get it. To write C++ apps on Linux you need to match the ABI because there are lots of raw libraries that are just straight compiled C++. On Windows it's not like that outside of the VC++ runtime itself. Everything is C APIs or COM, and wrappers around that. MS never documented their C++ ABI because as far as they're concerned it's not something anyone needs to know, in order to write Windows apps or have components/libraries interop with each other. They never expose raw C++ objects in Windows. When they have C++ APIs they come as source or headers.
They do add up. No, you're not going to be able to afford a house simply by dropping the $8 lattes, but your chances improve greatly if you avoid the overall lifestyle inflation and always-be-spending mentality. A major symptom of lifestyle inflation is paying people to do things you can DIY. I work with perpetually broke people who pay a nanny/housekeeper, pay people to fix their car, pay plumbers, and so on. The unnecessary cost of always defaulting to "pay someone" really does add up. Plus all the eating out, streaming subscriptions, gym memberships, and so on add up to a significant chunk of savings.
Google / Deepmind has already done this last year. They published the paper at the end of 2022 I think. (searches) yep: https://www.deepmind.com/blog/competitive-programming-with-a...

It relies on test availability of good test cases to verify the code functionality: they generate many, many possible programs, throw out all the ones that aren't syntactically correct, compile the ones that are & then test them. This works reasonably well for programming competitions & the code generated will probably improve over time.

The issue for "real-world" problems is that you can't verify the code without the test cases & writing good tests that ensure the code does what you want can be as much work as writing the code itself in the first place - the tests form a kind of mathematical co-domain to the code after all & only a small subset of problems are so simply defined that you can pin them down with just one or two tests.
