Ask HN: Getting 403 errors trying to access HN
Lately I'm getting 403 access denied errors when trying to access hn :( Anyone else?
Thank you so much!

We have actually put so much effort into developer experience, especially for building new integrations. You can check examples using oauth authentication: https://automatisch.io/docs/build-integrations/examples

If you want to check out all documentation for building integrations, you can use this page: https://automatisch.io/docs/build-integrations/folder-struct...

My suggestion would be that you can copy an app folder that uses oauth and iterate it to cover your integration. Please let me know if you have any questions!
Very good point about harmonic drives and backdriveability. I had forgotten that problem.
The "theory" behind ACV is that stomach problems can be caused by H. Pylori overgrowth due to acid underproduction. H. Pylori and stomach acidity problems are easily testable diagnoses via upper endoscopy on a case by case basis. What is NOT controversial however is the much higher vulnerability of the esophagus to acid (on the way up or the way down), pain from which damage is the "burn" in heartburn. The esophagus needs time to heal regardless of whether ACV would or would not help the stomach, and it'd definitely be harmful to the inflamed tissue up there. As I mentioned above, sodium alginate is a remarkably effective and safe treatment for mild and moderate GERD, which is picking up interest as PPIs are coming under intense scrutiny for possible harmful side effects long term. It's not a cure to anything per se, but this isn't medical advice either - people should root cause their stomach troubles with a qualified doctor.
Corporations are not 100% efficient. I have seen so much favoritism in my short career. It's to be expected. A middle manager doesn't care about the company's bottom line, they care about maintaining/upgrading their own position. That sometimes means working towards the bottom line, but usually means working people relationships.

Those people relationships are affected by race gender etc. You really have NEVER seen someone get on a great project because they're better connected, even if they are a worse engineer than someone who doesn't fit in as well?
Yes, never push and ret. Here is something I wrote (/me checks calendar) more than 15 years ago about optimizing coroutine control flow: https://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/soc/coroutine/coroutine...
You can cut out the middleman and pipe directly to less(1) (or your preferred pager).

Or feed the courtlistener.com URL directly to w3m or another text-mode browser.
How is that a strawman? What am I strawmanning? I am asking if you believe those research papers enough to actually put on the line something you believe in. I am not creating a strawman, but giving you a conclusion based on what the OP posted.

If diversity actually increases profits (and not is merely correlated with it) then that should be a no-brainer.
As far as I can tell DEI is self-imposed. Those who already don't care about discriminatory facets are the ones with DEI groups. The companies without DEI groups have HR departments that handle this.
EEOC can consider any sort of de facto discrepancy in racial distribution in hiring to be actionable discrimination.
The problem with living in an artificial bubble with people around you paid to agree with you is that when you step out of the bubble, you don't know how to properly interact with reality. Prince Andrew seemed to suffer the same problem with his silly defenses of his behavior that only someone paid to agree with him would nod along with.
> The real “myth” of calories in = calories out is that it’s possible to do it by feel. It takes a lot of work and math, like spreadsheet-level, to actually track calories in and out. So even though it is physically true as a concept, it’s not a good weight management strategy for most people.

The real myth is that you can track calories in and calories out.

How do you measure how many calories your body absorbs from the food you eat?

How do you measure your calories out, particularly your resting metabolic rate?

Here's a hint -- the body changes its resting metabolic rate in response to calories in! Probably! Unless you eat junk food, and then maybe it doesn't!
The other difficulty is it appears there is little-to-no support for API/automation:

https://github.com/lastpass/lastpass-cli/issues/602

https://github.com/lastpass/lastpass-cli/issues/624

https://github.com/lastpass/lastpass-cli/issues/604

...their CLI tool is de-facto deprecated (unsupported) and has several unreliability issues (ie: `lpass ls/userls ...` reports differing amounts of values depending on when a user was added to the folder or not). Basically `lpass ls ... | xargs -n1 ...` cannot be trusted, and you can only get an accurate list of passwords (or users) from the actual GUI.

It makes automation, auditing, reporting, near impossible.
Deep cycle lead-acid batteries are available around £100/kWh, and they'll last pretty-much as long as a LiFePo if managed sensibly.
The OP comment can also be seen as an internet trope displaying poor understanding of the topic.

You can't teach someone who is unwilling to learn.
Clearly, the correct move here is to replace the entire team with Looker and let every department head create their own dashboards to track arbitrary kpis with no understanding of the product or underlying data model. /s

Here's some constructive feedback to make this more trustworthy:

- Include a "View source" link to the source code for this document. Everyone makes mistakes and new information comes to light. You should provide a link to the GitHub source file used to generate this page, so that your readers can see the version history and all changes for the lifetime of the article since publication.

- Include the actual sources. A number of your sources, such as #7, are links to secondary sources, that have dead links to the primary sources. You should copy any primary sources and include them in the repo with your article.

"But Breck, the WSJ, NYTimes, CNN, WaPo, et cetera, don't do anything of those things!"

Yes. Exactly. You can't trust them either.
But that's the extent of the argument, and if you take away all the unsupported claims, it boils down to, "Google has more employees than it did, those employees cost a lot, Google should fire employees to lower its cost"
Hi! Alex here, Product Manager at Tinybird.

_peregrine_ is right, we do have control over the linker_workers value for every agent. Agents are not exposed to our users, everything is transparent for them.

As a user, you just need to create a new connection to your Kafka cluster providing your credentials, and then choose the topic you want to ingest into Tinybird. We take care of everything for your, we balance the worker using the approach explained in the blog post.

We can also fine tune it for specific users, or relevant events such as Black Friday.
It's a bit different for Enterprise customers, in those cases we can set up dedicated agents and fine tune linker_workers and other parameters to optimize for their use case.

If you have any further questions you can reach us on our public Slack channel or via email.

Thanks!
Originally it was the job of browsers to provide good readable non-eye straining, user controllable default styles. In the browser wars it was decided few websites "wanted" good defaults, they'd rather "no defaults" so that every website could be styled as its own special snowflake (to meet brand goals or design team whims) and so default styles became a lowest common denominator trapped in the 90s.

Eventually browsers rediscovered that need to provide good defaults and now call it "Reading Mode" and force users to opt in to that behavior on a page by page basis.

Something lately I've been wondering is if there should be a way to signal to a browser "this is an intentionally minimal HTML page, please style it by default as if the user chose Reading Mode".

Sounds good but I'm curious what's criteria (need) to architect like this in the first place.
Why are we allowed to assume they didn't make the decision lightly but not able to assume just maybe it is extremely unlikely they have credible evidence of guilt.

You play the "oh I don't know anything game" while simultaneously saying we should assume your viewpoint. Clearly you do think you know something and the know-nothing defense is some kind of Schrodinger's cat scenario where you know something when it's time to make assumptions and don't know when someone else does.
I wondering if one country stepped in and called for standardized package (and fined those that didn't use it), would it be a tipping point?
parent comment said "not good at the moment" so just responding to "at the moment" its actually not as bad as the haters would imagine (e.g. its well above the 2020-era ceiling of $16k despite much tighter monetary policy and crypto institutions failing all over the place)
Just because they don't hypocritically claim they care about their employees and only laid them off because they HAD to, doesn't mean we shouldn't criticize them and (if possible) use our leverage as workers to influence them to make better decisions. Just because we know corporations only value profit, to the detriment of human quality of life in general, doesn't mean we should accept it
Keychain is perfectly fine if you're all in on Apple stuff. I am, so I could start using it today. A downside is that it doesn't have much in the way of a dedicated UI, especially on iPad/iPhone. Compare the 1Password app to Settings > Passwords on a phone. Keychain also only handles passwords, and not TOTP, notes, software licenses, etc.
ADS-B Exchange used to have another incentive to feed in the form of free API access, subject to certain limits and for noncommercial use only. They stopped that a year or two ago, I believe because various commercial operations kept abusing it.
OTOH I've got a close-ish relative who's had a very successful career in HR in multiple large orgs and now does some résumé consulting on the side, and she always re-writes things way beyond what I'm comfortable actually claiming and insists that's for-sure the right thing to do when applying to most bigcos—just part of playing the game, and if you don't play, you can't win.

You'll tell her you did X and she'll be like "well it sounds to me like that was Y, so write that down" and you're like "well... kind of? But not really" and she's like "yes, it's Y, you're cutting yourself off at the kneecaps if you don't put Y". Where Y is usually something to do with leading or managing or "architecting" something, and it's maybe technically true but I'd never have characterized it that way and would be struggle to talk about it as if it were that.
I hope it was high six figures, because a product with that much recurring revenue that’s several years old should get at least 5x multiplier unless there’s something weird going on.
I feel like one cause of eye strain might be psychological: I find my eyes mostly strained when I'm overly fixating on something, when the project 'must' be completed, when the bug 'must' be found. My eyes in those moments feel like the fingers of an overly anxious climber who uses way too much power in his grip, and as a consequence tires way too fast.

As the strain comes from tension, the way out of the strain is to let go of the tension, and try not to grip with the eyes but to observe calmly, just as you would calmly observe the water flowing in a river.

Observe how tense the muscles around your eyes, around your forehead are. Observe whether your jaw is tense. See if you can allow your facial muscles to relax while working, and if you can allow your gaze to remain soft. Make pauses to relax the grip (the metaphorical grip on the situation you are in, as well as the actual muscle tension) every time you catch yourself tensing up.
Complete and utterly false my good sir. Not only did you bring up an anecdote as an argument but you also accused me of being indifferent to the plight of others. I've personally known people who were discriminated on the basis of religion, my friend wears a headscarf, and I've been both sad for the discrimination she faced and happy when she inevitably, as a talented developer, got a much better position in the private sector. I went out of my way to encourage her to be more confident and showcase her achievements to our employer.
An EDI advocate I talked to was of the opinion that lowering the bar was the best and only way to include more minorities in tech. When I asked her whether she felt the same about men in nursing, she said that nursing is a critical function and standards can't be lowered.

I'm pretty sure the casual racism and misogyny she displayed are par for the course among genuine believers in the EDI space, most just being better at dancing around it than she was. The idea that 'whatever those people are doing' isn't harmed by lowering the bar is probably a less obvious component of how the ideology perpetuates itself.
Joy. "Men are that they might have joy." (2 Nephi 2:24 or so, in the Book of Mormon). Money doesn't drive it, but is a tool only. I have much more at my web site (in profile), including how I know this for myself. We can have peace and joy in this life, and eternal life in the world to come, starting now, based on our choices.

Sources of joy including learning, and service to others, especially family. In my church we have made promises to do this and it brings the most satisfaction in life, as far as I can see.

This also provides tools to handle the hard things in life (which can become growing experiences, to become our best, now and later on).

Once again, it is necessary to point out the difference between correlation and causation. Is it possible that simply bringing in people of different ethnicities into your company leadership somehow leads to more profitability? Yes.

But it seems far more likely the reverse is true. In a world where corporations want to demonstrate they are diverse and inclusive, and systemic forces are limiting the number of minorities who make it up the career ladders into leadership positions, minority leadership becomes a scarce commodity. The more profitable and successful a company, the more attractive the company and the more money they have to offer the limited number of minority executives for compensation, increasing the likelihood said executives join their teams.

> ...a team of researchers has described the discovery of an obsidian handaxe workshop within a layer of sediment dated to 1.2 million years ago.

What kind of radiometric dating is used for sediment? Is it not possible for older sediment to shift around and cover newer stuff?
Do you think our own brains when they “understand” are also “just” estimating probability well? If so perhaps we’re quite close to discovery of something important.
If you want to see something weird, try Celtic mythology.

You have interesting characters like Math fab Mathonwy, who somehow must rest his feet in the lap of a virgin unless he was at war, or he will die. Or Cú Chulainn, who was amazingly badass to the point that he had to be stopped by mass female toplessness.

I haven't the faintest clue what those are supposed to symbolize or represent, but it's sure interesting.

How do one manage to eat exactly the amount of calories one consumes ? Based on the calories in/out weight gain theory a little error of 50 calories/day would lead to 50*365=18250 extra calories/year ie 18250/9000=~2kg of fat. 20kg in 10 years !

When I worked at Boeing in 1980 or so, there were a lot of contract engineers there. We did the same work. The difference was:

1. full time employees got benefits, contractors did not

2. full time employees got notice before layoffs, contractors could get dismissed at a moment's notice

3. contractors got paid double what full time employees did
Really? I found it to be extremely capable at very difficult tasks. For example, I had it guide me through using the ODBC SQL drivers (C++). It's also extremely good at generating fictional stories. Unlike other AI solutions, it has a lot of context. For example, it generated one story that mostly used generic names like "the king" or "evil wizard", but I was able to get it to fill in those names in a conversational way, not by modifying the original prompt like you'd need to do with plain GPT-3.

> I think for the last 10 years of my career at BigTech, I can't possibly quantify my impact in numeric terms because they were such small pieces of gargantuan projects.

Honestly, this would make me depressed rather quickly. I can't imagine not knowing/experiencing my impact via the work I do. Maybe it is one of the personality differences between people choosing to work for startups/scaleups vs. big tech (no judgement either direction, just my conjecture).
> limited form of general intelligence.

Just to dive into this, most advertising people are tracking "ROAS", Return on Ad Spend, so for every dollar you are spending in advertising, how much do you get back. Depending on your situation you may target different roas numbers and find it acceptable.

Now I thinking how I can put that I've been the unofficial git guru in several jobs in the resume without sounding like I'm just playing the keyword game.

Maybe under "Skills" I'll add something like "git is my bitch and I eat merges and shit rebases". Or is it too formal? XD
GitHub repo settings configuration as code
I'm looking for the best way to allow engineers at my company (1,500 engineers) to manage their GitHub repo settings via "configuration as code". The GitHub repo settings UI webpage requires elevated permissions. The UI is not a good solution for us - we have compliance requirements as well as a general need to reduce chaos and to enforce a reasonable workflow with approvals.

From what I can tell, most companies are building their own solutions with Terraform or Pulumi.

Is there something that's clearly the best solution for doing this? One thing I've come to learn is that developers don't like Terraform because of high cognitive load, and that when Terraform changes are in someone's way, it becomes the leading cause of loss of productivity.

Having not found something that feels easy to use, I'm wondering if I should possibly start an open source project that would help make it easy for any company to allow their developers to configure their GitHub repos settings as code.

I caveated my statement because my experience in this is obviously limited, I doubt anyone has a wide view of the industry but...

> The process has always been, every single time: identify low performers, find reasons to fight for them to stay (do they have gifts the company isn't properly utilizing, etc.)

Strongly doubt this is done effectively in anything but smaller organizations. Imagine an organization the size of Google, doing this analysis effectively would involve consulting thousands if not 10s of thousands of managers, some of whom will be on the chopping block themselves. Organizations pretty much never want to telegraph these kinds of moves in advance, and looping that many people in 100% guarantees the entire process will be leaky as hell. Sure these organizations will play games with performance reviews to try to make some attempt at coming up with a more meaningful filter than a dice roll, but the accuracy is at best, questionable, and as we've seen in the recent layoffs a good performance review is a pretty weak form of protection.

Your second sentence even provides a perfect scenario around exactly the kind of randomness that comes into play

Somethings are definitely stupid, but I don't really see what's bad about changing whitelist. White = good and black = bad is a weird concept that when using an American lens, is hard not to see implied racism.

Plus, allowlist and denylist is simply easier to understand.

I agree that if your entire job is coming up with this kind of stuff, that's a bit ridiculous. But I don't really see anything wrong with a few engineers spending a few hours a month to push company discourse in a more egalitarian direction.
- monitor set to lowest possible brightness

- blue light filter always on, on all devices with screens

- ambient contrast lighting. either buy a $5 table lamp and direct it to the wall at the back of your screen, or go crazy with expensive RGB. both work

- k-n-m rule. People say 20-20-20. but any number works, really. regularly stare away from the screen at a distance at regular interval

- use glasses with blue light filtering using ARC

- good sleep also matters

I do all these myself, and never get eye-strain, not even after intense sessions of 14 hours.
In my experience, it's unambiguously worse to produce wrong answers confidently than to return no answers, although I expect confidence men (also known as "con men") have a different opinion on this.
