> Masters pointed out that a lifetime carrying excess weight can lead to illnesses that, paradoxically, lead to rapid weight loss. If BMI data is captured during this time, it can skew study results.

“I would argue that we have been artificially inflating the mortality risk in the low-BMI category by including those who had been high BMI and had just lost weight recently,” he said.

It's like the teetotaling bias — a chunk of people who teetotal do so because they have an illness that makes drinking very unwise (or would conflict with medication).

You can easily make lots of fragile Rust code by poor error handling that cause shitty panics like "Some(2) != None" and suppressing backtraces for even more obscurity. Good backtraces need to be human- and machine-readable. Ideally, you'd throw (pun intended) panic objects (not backtraces) as structured data in individual files. Anyone who gets into reinventing flat log rotation management at scale is holding it wrong.

What has actually been done to prevent the next outbreak?

I remember there was an acknowledgement that we all knew something like COVID-19 would happen eventually. There was Contagion, a 2011 film about a realistic pandemic, or Bill Gates' TED talk, 'The next outbreak? We're not ready', in 2015. Globally, we weren't prepared for what seemed like an inevitability. Perhaps the 1918 flu pandemic was just outside our familial experience. Just as the memory of The Great War fades, and perhaps the lessons of the Second World War as well, as our parents' parents become memories.

Now, we're more prepared. Although, I suspect stockpiles will fall over the next decade. What are we doing to prevent the next outbreak? We know that research of viruses needs the utmost controls and oversight. They are more deadly than nuclear weapons and we should treat them as such. We know keeping animals in close quarters, mixed species, and in poor conditions is a perfect environment for natural viral evolution. I've seen images of chicken farms in the USA and vertical hog farms in China that give me chills. How can we get a handle on this situation?

Here's a thing about people -- we all consider ourselves the heroes of our own stories. It's just human nature.
I think the key there is "as much as possible". It's really hard to guarantee that panics won't happen.

I like Rust, but the panic mechanism is a bit of a weak point in the language. It's not like I have a better solution -- you really do need a way to handle exceptional cases that shouldn't ever happen but aren't statically checkable. But it's unfortunate that it interacts with so many other parts of the language, rather than being orthogonal. Every single API needs to answer "but how does this interact with panics". Rust is a very good language because panics are one of just a couple of things that work this way.

From what I'm seeing they're seeking monetary fines against Google for this, and at their scale that's hardly a deterrent. It always works out to be a fraction of what they'd actually have to pay if they hadn't pulled whatever bullshit got them fined, and in the end won't impact them or their bottom line in the slightest. Until the fines are high enough to actually deter them, or they start pressing criminal charges for shit like this, nothing gonna change with these huge megacorps.

Maybe. But if a hugging face hugs you, it probably hugs your face. This would make the hugging face a face hugger. (But it would not necessarily make it a facehugger.)
For example you visit coolblog.org and it tries to load coolblog.org/ad.js

dns blocking would only see the domain coolblog.org, and doesn't see that it loads ad.js, so it won't block anything.

But e.g. uBlock, also sees that your browser tries to visit ad.js, if uBlock had ad.js in its blocklists it can block loading this script.

It really does seem that way...

I think the west is using Ukraine as a way to whittle down Russian military forces at the expense of Ukrainians and "Allied" military equipment (instead of some theoretical war where the US send their soldiers _and_ equipment on the field, and the resulting PR nightmares, etc. that would cause) - essentially weakening Russia's military to a point so that Russia can't respond as aggressively to western expansionism or continue to meddle in western affairs as strongly as they have been.

I wish the west would stay out of conflicts it doesn't have a stake in, and I wish Russia would stop attacking Ukraine. Unfortunately mentioning the former makes you a "putin-apologist" even though there's more than enough things to attend to in the west instead of sending trillions of dollars overseas and continuing to fund the industrial military complex - almost like it's a convenient excuse to help distract people how much they're getting screwed over at home - but that's getting into conspiracy theorist territory, which I'd rather not go down.

The fastest way out of the war is negotiation unfortunately. It's only going to get bloodier as both sides get more desperate to win...

Meh, if you look at the Candle for 90d you can see the high/low for Nov3,4th of the 2020 election [1]. There's so much volatility in that data its hard it's hard to consider this an accurate predicator for 2024.

The volume for 2024 is also so low compared to 2020 so I don't think you can use the current 2024 predictions as evidence.

Not many predicted that Ukraine would hold out so long, especially the Kremlin itself which believed that the most reasonable course of action at the time was to start the invasion even with such a small number of men.
I agree… This is not open source. If you publish a wrapper that represent just 0.01% of your code and your product and hide all the rest as closed source that is considered open source now? Then any closed source providing an API become open source with this bogus definition. I guess now Windows is open source too, just miss the 99.99% of the rest of the code.

It’s absurd and it damages the open source world and its real definition.
To be fair here, IMAP has some terrible ideas that have only been remedied with later standards.

Tell HN: macOS is degrading fast, and GNU/Linux is now better for most uses
I used MacOS as my personal daily driver for a while, and in my 1st and 3rd industry jobs, and I used to think running GNU/Linux on my daily driver was more hassle than it was worth (see this post from ~5 years ago):

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17239471

YMMV, but in my experience the quality of MacOS is degrading fast, and GNU/Linux keeps getting better driver support and has become so much more stable __and__ usable (for work, I run Fedora with GNOME on a Framework laptop, and my personal Framework runs Ubuntu for now) since that post 5 years ago that I'm increasingly seeing MacOS as an annoying OS which, among devs, should only be used if developing for Apple platforms.

GNU/Linux doesn't just have feature parity, in so many way it's __better__ than MacOS. For example:

- I don't have to make any changes to my dev environment after updating Fedora, whereas XCode command-line tools usually need to be updated manually to get new installs of Erlang & Elixir to pass the compilation stage.

- 2x pixel scaling is so atrocious, it literally hurts my eyes on MacOS (at least on my x86 Mac Mini from 2020), while it works perfectly on Fedora.

- On MacOS, if I want to completely terminate a program, I have to right click on its icon in the dock and then select quit. On Fedora (and every combination of distribution and desktop env I've tried), clicking the close icon actually terminates the program (imagine that), and no more processes are running unless there's still another window running the same program. It seems like GNU/Linux follows the Principle of Least Astonishment while Apple does not.

GNU/Linux in general, and Framework in particular, still need to improve battery reliability and power management. In just about every other way, Apple (with its tightly integrated supply chain and platform) is being upstaged by a disparate network of developers, suppliers, and hardware vendors, none of whom can easily bend the others to their will.

The “resting time” after roasting depends heavily on the bean and roast level.

Soft beans that are roasted dark don’t require much time since most of the oils have been brought close to the surface already.

Very dense beans roasted lightly take time to degas. In my experience 4-7 days is the sweet spot.

It’s not even a subtle difference. Drinking a very light roast right after roasting will be very sharp/sour/acidic, many times undrinkable. After a several days they will get sweet and fruity and delicious.
You hit the nail on the head but you did not actually say it. The current system is NOT part of the legal system. We are not arguing about the legal system. We are arguing about the administrative system these administrators/professors put in the place. The exact ones ruining students lives on a whim.

If you want to say the professors/admins get the right to challenge ones accuser then they can no longer be involved in the process at all. Furthermore there needs to be criminal charges and jail time involved in any situation its warranted that is found true and the same for the accuser if it is found false. However this is NOT how it is. The staff are the process. Judges, juries, and executioners. Until that changes, my opinion is: no they do not get the right to face the accuser.

Curious how you feel about anonymous whistleblowers?

One thing that didn't make it into the article (I ramble and rant) is how I set it so at one point that Teams were entitled to a reply from me or the founder 24/7. This broke nearly instantly after 50 Teams.

At the moment we don't but I spoke to the fmr. Head of Support at Stripe and he told me we should think about our product coverage like an API, some parts of the product (builds for example) should be more critical on response times than others.

I fired up ten 2x(dc2.large) clusters, one immediately after the other, benchmarking each cluster (which means benchmarking the nodes in each cluster), and then produced the benchmark results, max/avg/min, for each benchmark type.

There's a lot of variation. There's an intriguing hint that this really is on a per-node basis, with nodes usually being normal, but there being bad or particular bad nodes.

This all matters a lot, because queries execute as slowly as the slowest node in a cluster.
> Yeah, what do people who actually live in China know about their own country.

Is it still illegal to know things in China? I read stories all the time about government enforced censorship in China, so I think it's fair to assume that people in China know less about the country than interested parties outside the country, right?

And while I am just a white American dude, thankfully one who can find China on a map. The tone here screams needless hostility.
V60 brewing is great but my best and most consistent results have been from a recipe shared by a friend which uses an Aeropress and freshly roasted (<2 weeks old) single origin light roast beans.

Here’s the method as shared to me
0) pre warm your mug and rinse your aeropress filter
1) course grind - more than normal aeropress, more like v60+ grind - 35g of you fav and fresh light roast coffee bean into aeropress. On a Comandante C40 hand grinder, this is about 25-28 clicks out.
2) pour 150g of 85c water into aeropress
3) stir for 10 seconds
4) put aeropress end and filter on
5) wait 1:00
6) press coffee into mug, aim to finish at ~1:30 mark
7) pour 100-150g of 85c water into your mug, diluting to taste
enjoy a very flavourful coffee

When society has collapsed a currency based on 24 hour electricity and internet infrastructure seems counterintuitive.
Probably helps to try and advocate for subjective perceptions that make letting-the-product-sit-in-a-warehouse-for-a-while not devalue the product.

It's probably not that big of a lift if the difference is marginal!
On the range of over-the-top coffee things, the Hario v60 and the Aeropress are way off the bottom of the scale. The Aeropress’s MSRP is $39.95. The v60 ranges from $12-$30 depending on color and material.
Appeasing the aggressors by giving up territories is not going to stop the war long term until there is nothing to give up. Not only history shows it again and again, but the basic psychology behind this is clear after a first encounter with a bully which many people do as soon as kindergarten.

The only outcome of this faux pacifism is the destruction of Ukrainian state with the following butchering of Ukrainian culture AND with the following wars further West. Even though many Americans decided all of a sudden to support Russia in their conquests, Russians did not stop seeing themselves as waging war against the US and the West. And why would they ever stop, if the West keeps giving them what they want.
The "science" has been saying for a long time now that there's might even be a health benefit from being a bit overweight, and that --as this article carefully explained (which means I guess you didn't read it)-- there is a "U-shaped" distribution of outcomes; in contrast, this study claims all that prior work is wrong, and that there is a "straight upward line".
The point is not that its deadly, but more deadly then previously thought (as indicated by the title).

I disagree with this. It's clearly personal preference. As an ex barista, I used to enjoy the shit that knocked your fucking socks off, which was always dark roasts.

I used to describe that to customers as like being punched in the face by a film noir detective. Real good shit.
