Similar modern tale: Wesley Redhead came to Iowa City in its early days, having been a driver on the Erie Canal and a cabin boy on a Mississippi Steamboat.

Arrived with nothing (cheated of his money by gamblers on the train, substituted for counterfeit) he worked his way from printer's devil to Postmaster in the capitol of Des Moines (a thankless job back then), sold books from the lobby, became a bookseller, and at his peak sold $600 in books a day (a lot in the 1800's) at affordable prices.

Later the Coal King of Iowa during the Civil war he retired very rich, donated the land for the Iowa State Fairgrounds, donated his house and surrounds for a city park.

That part is such a joke. I routinely run into the problem that I can't send someone a screencast because it's over EIGHT MEGABYTES. In 2023. And Discord insists on storing the bit-perfect copies of original images and videos too to add to the insult. I would be perfectly fine with them being compressed and/or stored temporarily but nah. I have to resort to cloud storage services like Yandex disk to go around that asinine limitation.

It contains both coffee extract and cocoa powder. The cocoa powder contains about 11.5 mg of caffeine per tablespoon (5 grams).

I'm sure this is a great product and an alternative to a "cup of coffee", but it's clearly not a caffeine alternative. Which is fine, as long as people understand what they are buying. The "natural caffeine" listing is 80mg for an 8g serving on the website. So the transparency is good.

What to know about the controversial Willow oil drilling project in Alaska
That Fischer-Tropsch technology has been a bridesmaid but not a bride for a very long time. It requires a huge machine to produce a modest amount of fuel because the chemical reactions that build up molecular chains and break them down are carefully balanced so the reactor is doing numerous wasted chemical reactions that will be undone. It’s one of the few cases where iron is a workable catalyst but the yield is so bad people have scoured the periodic table for alternatives for 75+ years.

There is no doubt it will make good fuel for F1 engines and even for the change-averse aviation fuel market. The best use case today is the US Navy wanting to make e-Fuel from seawater, fuel, and nuclear energy which will help carriers keep their air wing fueled without slowing down to take on fuel from a tanker. Most of the serious work on synthetic fuels for ground transport has centered around single-entity fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia, 1-butanol, dimethyl ether, etc. I’d guess though if you can afford a legacy Ferrari you can afford to fuel it with FT gasoline.

> > It's because they can't visit any doctor

It's because people rightfully don't want to go to a doctor when they want to have a good time.

UAE and UK have Viagra/Cialis availible OTC. Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece is de-facto OTC (you can go to a pharmacy with an A4 blank piece of paper and 'be your own doctor' by writing in what you need by hand and signing it off still as 'your own doctor' with a fantasy name and a cool autograph).

Psychologist. You might have heard the most common suggestions about places to find people who can help you, so I put in some generic ones that worked for me.

Chatting to friends who have had/raised teenagers before sometimes have good perspective about what your 16yr old sister is going through and if you need to do anything about it, or let it run it's course.

It helps you keep it together when you can run some ideas past people who have met your family members and know a little bit of the context, because they can relate better to your specific situation, maybe see a fresh direction for you as an option/suggestion and reduce the impact of things that appear to be a greater problem then they are, whenever that happens.

I don't know if I should type out literal examples, feels odd because I don't know how to relate to you without having met you irl, so my examples will probably be inaccurate.

Anyway what I mean is, you've got a lot relationships to manage by your own reckoning, so I suggest sharing the workload with good friends, social workers and community members who are in a good position to help. A stronger social network could lift enough weight that you can get on with your own dreams again... potentially.

Good luck!
Slammer (and other worms) propagated heavily despite NAT. If anything NAT made it worse, because once a single internal host got infected the worm now has a predictable and well known address space to scan for other devices it can infect.

NAT created a false sense of security, while also breaking a lot of other things. It is quite easy for the defaults to be wrong, you can end up with all kinds of unexpected scenarios which make internal hosts reachable - eg outbound traffic could open up inbound traffic on the same port from any source not just the one initially communicated with, UPNP can result in ports being opened, NAT slipstream attacks are another possibility, not to mention the fact that "not routable" and "there is no route" are two different things - someone who is on an adjacent network to your wan interface (ie other customers of the same isp) can easily direct traffic to your internal address space.

What reduced external attacks was not NAT, it was improved defaults - such as windows including a software firewall which blocks inbound connections by default, and unix based systems no longer shipping with large number of services (telnet, rpc, finger etc) enabled by default.

Consumer routers with IPv6 support don't allow unsolicited inbound traffic by default. Good luck scanning an IPv6 block in any case.

Slammer and other worms scanned sequential legacy IP addresses, including the well known and predictable RFC1918 space. This method simply couldn't work with IPv6 because the address space is too large, you would be flooding out huge amounts of traffic for years on end before you happened to hit upon an active device.

IPv6 is better, not worse.
It's also about ports. If I have 10 Gbps of IPv4 flow but my devices are licensed for and operate on 1 Gbps, I need to license 10 1 Gbps ports.

When I was last working at an ISP, various CG-NAT solutions charged not just based on the connection table, but also there was various licensing for various slide-in cards.

If the ISP is having to buy additional hardware/additional ports on upstream providers just to power their CG-NAT that is an additional cost.

If the POP where you have your CG-NAT doesn't have more bandwidth available you end up running your ports hot... so now you either need to rent a new location, get your connectivity up there and start figuring out how to route the traffic.

It's not as simple, and it all costs copious amounts of money. Especially if your IPv6 can more easily be distributed across multiple POP's with multiple forms of connectivity and traffic shaped using BGP or other solutions thereby reducing the load on a single upstream port.

As someone who has been very interested in diet and health from many perspectives, be it general health and wellness when I was younger, competitive cycling and rowing, and more recently competitive bodybuilding, I have come to a tragically bland conclusion.

Every day it seems like there's a new study about a new food that will revolutionize XYZ. Meanwhile, most people don't sleep well, dont drink enough water, overindulge in alcohol, don't get enough excercise, and don't get much sunlight.

I think it should be everyone's primary focus to sleep well, drink water, get outside, get active, and eat generally decently. The huge cognitive and physical gains that would come from these basic activities far surpass any marginal benefit from optimization. I hate to say it, but if you're not eating a good amount of vegetables and fruit, decent protein, sleep, etc, no amount of mushrooms will catch up to that detriment.

Now if these fundementals are in place, findings like this are truly fascinating! I just see so many people put the cart before the horse far too often.

the difference between validation and parsing lies almost entirely in how information is preserved. Consider the following pair of functions:

validateNonEmpty :: [a] -> IO ()

parseNonEmpty :: [a] -> IO (NonEmpty a)

Both of these functions check the same thing, but parseNonEmpty gives the caller access to the information it learned, while validateNonEmpty just throws it away.

It is tempting to combine web server, database and some imperative language with built in data oriented / SQL features in a single executable and call it an application server that would communicate with the outside world using for example JSON based RPC.

Ask HN: Do you have problems with understanding texts that use some lingo/terms?

> Elementary school students in Canada recently schooled NASA scientists when they discovered that life-saving EpiPens can turn poisonous when launched into space.

No. Elementary school students did not discover this. They just asked a question to university researchers ("Do EpiPens work in space?"), and I'd bet that their science teacher played a huge role in coming up with that question, or at least filtering out all the other ideas. Then university researchers did all the experimental design and analysis. Read the actual press release: https://www.uottawa.ca/about-us/media/news/useless-space-uot...

I think general programming languages are better for general programs than SQL.

Specifically they have: Type systems, compilers, debuggers, text editors, package managers, C FFI etc.

But I agree that having the data and the program in the same process has benefits.

Writing programs in SQL is one way.

Another way is to move your data to your general program with SQLite.

I like using SQL for ACID, and queries as a first filter to get the data into my program where I may do further processing with the general language.

> It wouldn't be weird for me to remove a blog or mastadon post of my own, yet those are very clearly one to many communications.

But that's more of a forum or a publication than an interpersonal communication. I think when you and I talk, we both own the content. The conversation is two-way, and thus it is ours. You have no right to take those conversations from my email server any more than removing them from my mind.

It's not about one-to-one or one-to-many, it's about is the conversation one-way or two-way. Are you talking to someone or with them?

How can I be a good role model to my sister? It is her that I worry about the most.

I mentioned in another comment that in two years she wants to go to Poland to study Operette. I told to my mother that this is on her. My sister doesn’t speak Polish even, she won’t have that financial support. I don’t know what to do. Do I continue like my father? He gave her some money(up to 100eur a month)for reading and good grades. I could do 50 easy. Do I try to have other hobbies and maybe something will peak her interest. I don’t know, I myself am hobbyless.

There are a couple of mods that let you change what buildings are used for, or rebalance how dense they are. Ploppable RICO, Realistic Population, etc. You can even go so far as to use Procedural Objects with Service Cubes. Use PO to create a completely unique building, then hide a Service Cube inside it that provides housing for 100 families, another that provides some commercial, and another that provides a city service like a school or a morgue. There, instant mixed–use building. Overlap it with a subway station for extra realism.

One of my favorite Youtube series is Cities Skylines: MARS <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDX8YQ_aGnY>. The author goes hog–wild and builds a complete city into a dome on Mars using custom assets he created himself (the game comes with asset editors), Procedural Objects, Service Cubes, and liberal use of the Move–It mod. It really is an astounding work of art, but you can also see why Colossal Order didn’t make a game with that level of freedom built–in; it almost becomes more of a 3D modelling program than a game. There’s a fine line between competing with SimCity and competing with Maya or Blender!

If so, it sounds like there's even less reason for the FDA to be involved if the DEA is already catching the truly illicit stuff. The issue the article takes is that the FDA keeps asking for more and more money to inspect packages for opioids/fentanyl, but is using that money to mostly destroy legitimate medicine. If they had to say what they were actually doing with the money, they might not get it.
I think it's really hard to learn from reading unfortunately. It's one of those things where if you get it, you get it, but it kind of takes personal experience to fully grok it. I guess because there are a lot of subtle differences.

You like that it's easy for an abuser to hide proof of their abuse? I know what you're actually trying to say and I'm saying in reality you picked the wrong side bud, ignoring a very bad problem to protect against a comparatively trivial problem.

If I were in a relationship that went bad, and the other person was as vengeful and irrational as you can imagine, and had access to everything I ever said, and did their best to cherry pick and strip context, sure, that would be annoying for me.

And it would be no worse than annoying. I'll take that hit considering the kinds of things that other people do to other people.

I'm clairvoiant, so go ahead and say it's about protecting gays in gay-murderering states. Perhaps you assume the only reason I take this stance is that I have nothing that I think could be weaponized against me.

Biometric phone security is only secure until a judge or police officer compels you to unlock your phone; and legally you must comply, because your face or finger aren't speech. However, if you use a passphrase, (at least in the US and other countries with string freedom of speech laws) you can't be legally compelled to unlock the phone, as that would impinge on freedom of speech.

I never use biometrics to unlock my phone or computer for that reason.

Speakers can always change their EQ, or could in theory add reverberation (although I've never heard of doing that). But they can't really remove reverberation (you need carpets or other sound-dampening material for that).

But in a church you often aren't using speakers at all, just like you aren't in a concert hall for classical music. Maybe the speaker during a sermon is, but not the choir.

The kind of massive reverb you get in a cathedral is terrible for some music -- it would turn any normal pop concert into a muddy mess. But for a lot of organ+choral music that was obviously composed in the first place for these kinds of spaces, it creates a kind of magical all-enveloping effect. Which, if you're looking for religious otherwordly inspiration, is spot-on.

There are still ample supplies of lacing cords for example at McMaster-Carr [1] so there likely are still lots of sites using them.

The part I never quite understood is why lacing standards didn't specify tucking a tail of cord at the end under a single winding of two or more whippings so one can exercise the future option to expand the loop locks if necessary to insert more cabling instead of re-doing the entire lacing run from scratch. I've also yet to find proper waxed whipping thread that is a smaller diameter than the lacing cord so the loose end of the wound whipping fits inside the winding without a snag-prone bulge at the end of the lacing cord; I have to messily make my own from 80/3 linen (or if lacing outdoor cabling, UV-rated polyester) fine sewing thread and beeswax.
