Ask HN: How do you manage your digital footprint in 2023?
In the recent months I've become more aware of my digital footprint and have been doing a lot digital spring cleaning. Of course we all know nothing really gets permanently deleted from servers but anything I'm able to remove from the public such as reddit/forums submissions and posts I have been doing so. What I'm currently doing is attempting to sign-in into any website where I supplied my real name, phone number and attempting to change/update it to a different name, remove phone number, billing details (example: LiveNation, Regal Cinemas, Retail stores)

This may seem like a weird question...but what about lying down or reclining as opposed to sitting? Does it have the same disadvantages?

I'm a highly active person with regular exercise (weights, cardio, etc.) but I'm also in sedentary IT and have a setup that allows me to recline/lie down when I'm not standing.

I basically decided years ago when I started having lower back issues (despite the healthy BMI/activity level) to declare war on "sitting" and only do it when I absolutely have to (driving/social functions etc.).

Reclining/lying down while working (coupled w/ standing) at least for me eliminated all of these issues and I'm now curious if it would eliminate the sitting related sperm count issues as well.
I have nix currently installed from the official installer in multi-user mode on macOS - I believe it works fine, would there be any benefit to me uninstalling and reinstalling via your installer?

edit: i went ahead and uninstalled, and reinstalled via this, and WOW that was fast
The line of reasoning here seems completely backwards. Type hinting should be used in libraries and other pieces of code where type ambiguity can lead to unexpected results. In my experience, that tends to be in "infrastructure" like pieces of code. I think the author confuses the fact that many "infrastructure" libraries are relatively old, and thereby existed _before_ type hinting existed with some kind of conscious choice by the developers.

You kinda left out the other very minor issue from the article that prevented a deal

"According to Ukrainska Pravda, the other factor that scuttled peace talks was the discovery of massacred civilians in Bucha and other areas near Kyiv that Russia withdrew from around the time negotiations were being held."

But the Russians are the good guys fighting to liberate Ukraine from the Nazis led by their Jewish president. Looks like they did a great job liberating the civilians in Bucha.
That really only applies to "we have to launch it next week".

It can potentially apply to any project with a fixed budget, whether that's internal or external. And time is money, sometimes quite literally if you are working in the agency world. Customers will choose a project with a $50k budget versus a $80k budget even if smaller budget will be significantly worse, as long as it meets one of their basic needs (or even if it doesn't, if that's all the budget they have to work with).

It's not like the CPU looks at the FPS to decide how to clock. Factorio has extremely variable CPU demand as your base grows.
> We have established other procedures for that.

Like what? Call 112/911/999.. and then what? Car drivers here have to pass a first aid course, but that could have been decades ago. Except for waiting 10+ minutes for an ambulance, what do you expect people around the suffocating/dying/bleeding person to do?

Yes, youtube wasn't made for that, neither were phones made for watching videos, but since everyone has a phone and phones can show videos, and videos can show the "first aid with X" video, people will use them for just that.
Yeah, this is a dumb slippery slope. If you want to depend on Youtube for saving lives, pay for premium.
But how else will we tally the points at the end of this debate session? /s
Google's an instructive example, because they have a small union in the US, and their mission statement (https://alphabetworkersunion.org/principles/mission-statemen...) focuses exclusively on corporate ethics and diversity. It wouldn't be fair to say they don't care about wages or layoffs, but they seem to be clear side topics.
Ask HN: API developers, what do you think of LLMs?
What do API developers think about code generation models like ChatGPT or Codex? Much of these AI tools reference and rely on (frequently open-source) APIs to run (e.g., importing Tornado to solve a web task), yet the hype-train around them can often ignore that fact. Questions:

- Are you using AI like ChatGPT in your API design process? (Do you think they could be beneficial in parts of API development?)

- Are you skeptical or optimistic about AI code generation, and why?

- What do you wish these AI models could improve on?

- When code generation AI use (or don't use) your APIs to solve tasks, what do you think of that?

- Is it exciting for you to see your API 'captured' by an AI/LLM --broadening access to new people, say --or does part of it trouble you?
There is no "just work" for deep equality. The standard library would have to make decisions on behalf of the application that it has no business making.

I can tell you right now that while there will be many upcoming language changes, none of them will be comfy to Python programmers. Zig is very much an imperative language. Or perhaps think of it as a declarative DSL for outputting machine code.
Can't upvote this enough. Carbs are king for endurance, though I tend to drink most of mine as I find it easier.

Run your code in a WASM sandbox or on a GPU, problem solved.
Haha, the hours are extremely flexible, so it's not so bad. Can blame some contract fraud my fortune 500 employer committed back in the 80s. It's been a requirement ever since.

Going in I was expecting a different take. For me type hints are great and just as important for the 'infrastructure' as they are for the 'business logic'. My default is using them everywhere possible now. So I don't really see a difference there.

I see a potential separation as more: Application vs Data Science. Someone purely writing Python inside Jupyter notebooks for data science purposes tends to be writing a very different flavor of Python than I do while writing a web application. As least in my experience there is less concern for formatting guides, idiomatic Python, PEPs, type hinting, or things along those lines. And that is totally fine, its not something they need to really be concerned within that context. It does result in very different outputs though.
Not every, see Circle.

The only that really has a chance.
Because we are now going through what could be described as another "industrial revolution" in the production of bullshit.

And given the state of the mainstream media this is really saying something.

If the only language you know is Python, your opinion on type systems is… not particularly interesting. No offense to the author.
> Also note that it isn't just Bash that we'd need to download, but coreutils and other utilities that Bash is really built on top of. We tried to fix a pretty simple bug last year in the Bash installer, and it took two weeks to validate a relatively straightforward, one line change was valid on all the platforms we target.

This clarifies a lot of what confused me in TFA. I maintained millions of lines of bash code, some of which is decades old and run into only a single bash incompatibility that wasn't fixable with shopt. On the other hand, incompatibilities in programs bash is running are rampant, particularly between GNU and non-GNU systems (and even within GNU there are more surprises than you might think). The phrase "different bash implementations" was a major red herring for figuring out what you were talking about.

> but their sleep studies are nearly perfect.

This is because most labs only score AHI, often using 4% desat criteria, which underscore prevalence/severity possibly by as much as 80%.

Most younger, non-obese female patients fall on the UARS side of the spectrum, with RERA events dominating over apneas and hypopneas- where an older man with 3 AHI might have 6 RDI, an excellent result for their age, it's common for a young person to have 15+ RDI, at which point most people struggle with day-to-day functioning.

> One of the hallmarks of incorrect diagnoses is that a lot of her patients stop the _PAP machines after less than a year because they’re not helping anything.

This in no way implies incorrect diagnoses. CPAP dropout rates are 40%+ even in people scored using the least sensitive criteria. CPAP just genuinely sucks, especially for anyone whose nasal breathing is poor. Most people with UARS don't benefit from it at all, but get way better with oral appliances, skeletal treatment, or nasal surgery.
The title was from https://lite.cnn.com/2023/02/25/china/china-remote-kissing-d... but HN changed the link to the apex domain+url which has a different title.

Updated title to match the new URL. Thankyou for letting me know it changed.
That site is well made. This is a bit pedantic, but if the default for that site is horizontal text, I'm not sure I would call this a "top-to-bottom locale": https://president.mn/
Yep... they manage to find curse words, any mention of "the plague", anything on the "wrong" political side, and demonetize immediately... but asking for red cross videos to be on top and without ads is "too much" for them.
It is amazing how many people spend most of their mental energy figuring out some way to defend the all powerful corporations. If as much mental energy were spent figuring out how to make the world better instead, then probably youtube could still make billions of dollars and figure out how to not delay CPR videos at the same time.
What type of fuel is used to power farm equipment AND operate logistic networks consisting of trucking and rail?

If you are operating a business and the cost of anything in your process goes up, what goes down?

Think really hard about this one.

Or are you entrepreneurially illiterate?

I'm 100% with you and that's how I operate as well. However that's not the situation GP seems to be in unfortunately.

I'm interested in this generally but we've had problems with bald faced hornets and yellowjackets... are they attracted to the bee hotels?
Well sadly even if someone who already knows CPR is available, it's not that effective.

Definitely still worth attempting, but my point is that complaining about the ads on youtube for this use case is silly.
Down to jam on your use-case!

The CLI "wrap command" is the main way of using Infisical at the moment and works for injecting secrets for local development as well as embedding into your Docker images if you use that; it definitely has pros and cons (a pro is not having to bundle any packages into your application code - in that sense, "dependency-less") but I can see it not being for everyone.

As mentioned we have an open API that we're working to make easier to use because E2EE ops for encrypting/decrypting secrets are not pleasant honestly to have to piece together yourself — because of this we have plans to release SDKs to abstract-away the cryptography (reading/writing secrets from/to Infisical would be one function call away).

What options would you want for interacting with a secret manager, just wondering?

All I said in my original comment was that it's not an overreaction to at least consider the possibility that they might mean what they say. Is it so obvious to you that there's literally nothing to worry about?
In most cases, I would bet the CO2 impact of the alternatives you list is on the order of 2x - 10x.

So long as plastics are not being burned, at least their carbon is not going into the atmosphere.
I should elaborate that when I write "better than nothing", I'm someone with a background in strongly-typed programming languages (OCaml, Haskell, Rust) and even more strongly-typed programming languages (Idris, Coq, Twelf).

It's unlikely that Python type annotations will ever be able to achieve something comparable to what many of these languages had during the 90s. They're useful, but if you need strong static safety guarantees, Python is the wrong tool for the task.
Everything we know about the subject of this discussion (windows product key validation) comes from reverse engineering the relevant DLLs because none of it has been discussed publicly. I think MS is probably of a similar opinion regarding publishing unnecessary details.
No that's poop science!
On a serious note though, seems still undecided but leaning more heavily towards no protective effects.

In theory, anything is possible with enough funding. But this does not seem like a very efficient option especially when we already have other federal and state agencies with specific rail and transit purviews.

> tea bags made with plastic (yes, they're there, not biodegradable, lots of microplastics in your tea)

I would imagine every time you scrape off the lint from your dryer's lint trap you inhale orders of magnitude more microplastics than these food/drink examples and and swallow more too from nasal drip.

Is this intuition off?
the economy was designed to service the politburo elites, the army, and (maybe) the capital cities. It kinda worked for its intended purposes, a semi-artisanal system, squashed by bureaucracy and political hires dictacted by realpolitik.
With only a modicum of trolling-level here, I wonder what percentage of that training expense was used to identify and avoid "true things that must be muted because they offend someone"
Yeah, I also don't understand appeal of "just a square of land filled with immaculate lawn and not much else. It's essentially space wasted for nothing.
It's initially exciting to see new connectivity solutions continue to be talked about. Unfortunately prices are still high, and throughput is still low, so the only positive here appears to be increased visibility hopefully leading to induced demand and further development.

Their pricing model is great for emergency use, though.
I don't think a majority of people don't care. The causes of obesity and how to un-obese people sustainably and over the long term is still not entirely known. We can cut someone's stomach to a fraction of its size, and the fat person still regains weight after 10 years. The best weight loss drugs that are being researched are actually hormone-based, not fullness-based or some other signaling. There's something fucky going on with the way obesity occurs that doesn't appear to have much to do with how much a fat person "cares" (and in fact, caring too much in the wrong way actually makes it worse-- internalizing fat shaming narratives tends to fatten people regardless of their weight!).

I also think lack of exercise isn't a care thing. The US literally works more hours than other first world countries-- who has the time to hit the gym or go for runs?
Die space. There's a maximum reticle size. You can't make chips bigger than that without using multi-chip techniques like wafer scale integration, chiplets and so on.

If you do a full reticle chip and use most of it for memory you can get about 1GB of SRAM. But that would also be extremely expensive.
It's not b**** because you have no idea whether or not the plastic that is generated actually ends up in the ocean. We used to ship most of our ways to other countries. So if the plastic is actually generated in the United States, it is possible that it could actually end up in another country and the end up in the ocean.

I agree with you that the wording is not necessarily the best but it is not facetious to think that plastic created in the United States'could'end up in the ocean.

You are correct that 94% of it does not end up in ocean, but the % is still too high.
For context on your context, the concern here is not acute dosage, but rather chronic low levels that can lead to significant accumulated dose.

Occupational standards are done on a linear-no-threshold basis that assumes all radiation exposure increases the risk of cancer, despite areas of high background radiation often having comparable or even lower cancer incidence. It makes sense that you don't let employers say 'no, we made him cancer resistant with that exposure!' But, it leads to stuff like this.

1mSv is the limit for annual non-radiation worker occupational exposure, but that's because it's pretty feasible to set a really low number threshold, have almost no one reach those levels, and deal with exceptions as they come. Easy, from OSHA/EPA standards, but obviously not for these guys.

Also, EPA figures suggest 6mSv annually, and I remember learning 3mSv. In any case, it's significantly less radiation than you get from smoking, which I find not to be too uncommon where I take my cars.

>There's only a handful of cities that are massive enough to do projects that would require hiring highly paid specialists to manage these huge projects.

If you use the Census Bureau's broadest definition of economically intradependent regions, the Combined Statistical Areas — defined roughly by commuting patterns, which is the relevant scale for a transit system — there are in fact eleven major cities at populations of seven million or higher: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Baltimore-Washington, Dallas, San Francisco, Boston-Providence, Houston, Atlanta, Miami and Philadelphia-Wilmington. Over a third of Americans live in one of these "agglomerations". But establishing a system to handle regional planning would require crossing state boundaries in six of those cases.

There are some advantages to local expertise: the geographic and social factors affecting Miami are very different from those in Dallas, which are both very different from San Francisco, which are all totally unlike New York. Establishing the necessary agencies and securing their purview would require federal action, though, I agree.
its only more efficient when more people are boarding than leaving.
On the topic of Postgres versus MS SQL Server or Oracle, I wonder if any of the newer Postgres-compatible databases, like Cockroach or Materialize, solve the scalability issue you raise with Postgres, while not having quite the stigma of MS SQL Server or (especially) Oracle.
Show HN: Chat Roulette for Slack
Hey there, I wanted to offer you some unsolicited advice. You're building a security product, so you have an uphill battle ahead of you. There is a reason security engineers get paid more than any other engineer, and why security companies can charge more -- because security is fraught with peril and just a single mistake can ruin your company/career.

You need to show that you are extremely competent at security -- more so than anyone I can hire myself. You also need to show that you care deeply about security.

For example, the fact that you lock SSO behind a paywall says that you don't care about security. Yes, SSO tends to be an enterprise ask, but it's also important for two person companies. I'd suggest changing at least that part to be 10+ SSO users or something like that, and make the first few free.

Also, your response to security reports in this thread is not what I'd want from a security company. Sure, the right way to report these things is via email, but you should still be grateful for the free security audit you got and approach that with a bit more tact.

At least make it look like you care more about security than revenue and adherence to policy.

Good luck, it looks like an interesting product, just make sure you don't turn users off with your security posture.
Yes, in general. (Appreciate the honest question.)

Bee homes [0] are basically a bird house with a bunch of small reeds or pipes where several native species can nest. It provides home for several American native bees. It is primarily for solitary bees It does not work for all, but it does help. After all, there are about 20,000 bee species and nearly 4,000 are in North America!

Bee homes do require some cleaning as the cocoons will be left behind in the reeds if you are successful. You will have to replace the reeds, or clean them out (bottle cleaner, or toothbrush works).

Honey bees (Apis mellifera), sometimes referred to as European or western honey bee is not native to the Americas, although they are well established now. They were introduced in the 17th century.

(also personal preferences - I use honey bee (not honeybee), as the honey is a description of the bee species e.g. like bubble bee)
If the idea is to retain the modern features, focus attention on them and peel off all the superseded old stuff then I’m all for it.

Seems to me languages that focus on backward compatibility end up with a great modern core but it kinda gets lost because how do you know that the modern core? Developers learning can’t know what’s new and best and recognize what’s old noise.

It has to be said though that googles reputation for killing projects overshadows anything they do.
> should be

Why? And what other platforms "should" do this? Do phone OSs have to have CPR videos embedded for quick access?

Seems clear to me these are edge cases that certainly do not warrant legislation. The world has much bigger problems to work on.
My dude, Alfaro charges prices that are vastly out of reach of anyone not made of money, and I'm at a point where making Dr appointments in the first place, nevermind coordinating travel, pushes me to my limits.

Many have and it's up to devs to some degree to pick the right job honestly. Obviously you won't work at FAANG but that's more than ok for many.
And in my experience, for most of those cases there are additional type libraries that correspond with them and it just needs to be installed separately if you want to use the types.
