I disagree entirely. Calling innocent people "the problem" seems wrong-headed to me. Spammers and scammers are the problem. Captchas are one way of handling that problem, but introduce problems of their own.

People using the internet in legitimate ways are not the problem.
Disk choices have been a thing for a very long time. You can see the options when you scroll down in the configurator. [1] On top of that, Hetzner offers custom builds, so if you have specific needs you can get specific builds. Just not through the point-and-click interface.

There should certainly be more tooling around finding these things out, but one thing worth noting is that you can `flatpak uninstall --unused` to remove old, unused runtimes (the runtime environments for apps).
It's expensive for first-world countries too. Just look at the 4090 - it's insane that it costs 2k EUR... it's literally double the fair price (which itself is high).
> The camera, microphone, can only be used when an app is in the foreground.

This is not true. This may be partially true on the latest Android, but you can still set permissions to use e.g. GPS all the time, for things like weather or GPX recording apps.

But it's also important to remember that the vast majority (easily 90%) of devices out there are running EoL'd Android versions, nevermind Android 12 and 13.
The article immediately lost credibility the moment it mentioned sodium as being harmful. Sodium is an important nutrient that's extremely difficult to over-consume under normal kidney function and when not hijacked by other satiety pathways. Even saturated fat isn't a problem. Neither of those things are a problem when consumed absent exogenous carbohydrates.

> “The standard deli sandwich with processed meat and cheese, you’re literally eating a heart bomb,” says Dariush Mozaffarian, a cardiologist and professor of nutrition and medicine at Tufts University.

Rubbish. Neither of those things are a "heart bomb." We can debate whether they should be eaten, but that's dishonest hyperbole.

> Sandwiches contribute 7% of daily added sugars, the same percentage as breakfast cereals and bars.

Added sugar isn't that relevant. When you consume bread, those carbohydrates are converted into glucose anyway.

> Excess sodium increases blood pressure, which raises the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Define excess.

> People also eat an extra nearly 100 calories on the days they eat sandwiches,

Calories are a unit of heat. The human body doesn't have a calorie counter. It's an electrochemical system that responds to mass with hormones. 100 "calories" is so trivial here it's laughable. Good luck measuring to the degree of hundreds of calories. The average person doesn't have adequate tools to do this, nor would it even be worthwhile in the first place.

> Our sandwiches weren’t always this bad for us.

The bread in a sandwich is not good for you at all. Doesn't matter how much fiber you leave in it.

> Each serving a day of processed meat is associated with a 42% increased risk of heart disease and a 19% increased risk of diabetes, according to a review of research co-authored by Dr. Mozaffarian and published in the journal Circulation in 2010. More recent research has found similar results. Eating processed meats has also been linked to an increased risk of certain types of cancer.

Processed meat may not be a good thing.

However, this is not "risk." It's an association with heart disease, diabetes, etc. Not the "risk" of either. Risk requires cause and effect.

> Be sparing with mustard [...] who calls them “salt vehicles.”

Horseshit. There's no reason for a healthy person to avoid mustard other than that it's not required nutritionally. A squirt of mustard on your sandwich is an absolutely trivial amount of sodium.

> Ketchup is often high in added sugars, too.

Yeah, it's high in sugar. But then again, why eat bread if that's going to raise your blood glucose more than a squirt of ketchup?

> Load your sandwich with tomato, lettuce and other vegetables for fiber and important nutrients.

You don't need to eat any of those, and there's especially no reason to eat leaves.

> Peanut butter has protein and healthy fats that keep you full.

It's also usually full of added sugar, unless you go out of your way to get sugar-free peanut butter, which is often hard to find.

> Choose jam low in added sugar, too; it’s even better if you can see chunks of whole fruit.

A nutritionist shouldn't be recommending to eat jam or jelly of any kind.

> Nix is the ultimate expression of this abandonment of the concept of a desktop distro.

NixOS deliberately avoids having global/implicit 'system' libraries / configured state, and instead demands declarative expression of the system configuration. -- The libraries the system uses don't adhere to a global FHS structure.

Nix similarly eschews use of global/implicit libraries. Building each package requires its dependencies be declared.

However, it's incorrect to say this is "just containers". I don't see how you get "abandonment of concept of desktop distro" from "doesn't have implicit system libraries". -- NixOS allowing the whole system configuration starting from a single file is convenient, and something people might otherwise use a tool like Ansible for.

That said, NixOS obviously has many use cases which have significantly higher friction compared to more typical systems. (And a steep learning curve to overcome that friction). -- e.g. on Arch or Ubuntu, the system configuration is global and malleable.
It's frankly stupid to interpret it as anything else.

Sorry for the strong language but this is a ridiculous line to take. A 'work of Shakespeare' is not even remotely open to interpretation as being something produced in the 21st century.
I'm not sure I understand.

I do not think that any time anyone on the internet writes "XV" to represent "15", they should be required to use the special roman numeral characters. I certainly don't intend to do that in my own life—I don't have enough hours in my day—even though I recognize the problem it represents for screen readers.

However, if I do go out of my way to use the special unicode characters, that should not trip up screen readers! I have done the screen reader an extra favor that they should be taking advantage of.

As an imperfect analogy, imagine if a screen reader was ignoring the alt text on images. You might say "well, images with alt text represent a small fraction of the problem space", considering how many photos are casually uploaded to Instagram every day. And I agree—the internet is always going to contain some untagged images, and especially with the rise of AI, I'd love to see screen readers actually attempt to describe them. However, that is not an excuse for ignoring alt text when it is present! Covering "edge cases" like this is the core job of the screen reader!
> Also, per FDIC rules, the 250k is per party attached to the account, so at least for a married couple it seems to be $500k per account.

Its per owner per account class, but what constitutes an owner varies by account class, and, IIRC, many class by definition have a single owner.

But, yeah, you can double your coverage in simple directly-owned accounts as a married couple by splitting funds between maxed out single accounts ($250K) for each party and a maxed out joint account ($500K) for a total of $1M in coverage, because single and joint accounts are separate categories.
I've done keto and been satiated on zero carbs, and when dieting I simply cut down on bread and remove potatoes/rice from my meals entirely and I have not noticed any real difference. If I eat a ton of vegetables (particularly broccoli, cauliflower, sprouts, kale etc.) and some chicken breast, I find it to be very filling indeed.

Other people have said I am demonising carbs, perhaps there is a middle ground (something like brown rice) that could add to the satiation without spiking glucose levels.

That's a weird take. For the little I know about most religions, intent and the spirit of the law is what's important. God doesn't need evidence or justification, it just knows. Allowing workarounds is encouraging trickery, which seems at odds with the function of religion as moral guidance and social cohesion.

I personally don't have any problem with the idea of exploiting loopholes, I mean, it is Hacker News, and cleverness and exploiting loopholes is pretty much the definition of being a hacker. But from a religion perspective, it looks more like an atheist, or even satanist value.

From my testing it seems to integrate well enough. Mind, I'm still only dipping my toes to Nix on Vanilla OS for now, but I could install `git` and I could run `git` directly without `flatpak run` and the likes.

Optional dependencies seems to be an issue, though, as I needed to figure out what on my own I need to get thumbnails on Dolphin working correctly, but I might still be missing something that I'm supposed to do in this case.

As for portability, it seems doable with home-manager: https://julianhofer.eu/blog/01-silverblue-nix/#home-manager (itsfoss also have a pretty good NixOS guide that will cover home-manager as well).

2 slices of white bread is about 180 calories

1 tbsp of mayo is 90 calories

Oscar Meyer sliced turkey is 45 calories, let's double that and make it 90

Total of 360 calories. Seems perfectly reasonable.

20oz soft drink is 250 calories, 1-3/4 oz bag of Doritos is 260, this adds 510 calories, for a total of 870

The problem is fast food. Head over to Arby's, and the Marketfresh Roast Turkey Ranch & Bacon Sandwich is 800 calories. We'll skip the soft drink and fries.
Vivaldi – Completely free and open source musical ear training application
Hello everyone!

I wanted to share with you an exciting new music ear training app called Vivaldi. Vivaldi is a free, open-source app that helps you improve your listening skills and enhance your musical abilities. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, Vivaldi provides a fun and interactive way to learn and practice ear training exercises no matter where you are.

The app includes a variety of tools that will come in handy for musicians of all levels, including musical exercises such as single tone studies, interval recognition, and various exercises specifically designed for sound engineers.

The app is currently in beta stage and will be continuously updated with new tools and exercises.

I want to dedicate all of my time to the development of Vivaldi, so please support the project and me.

This is actually what CDBC proposals are about, at least originally. The idea is that by making the computing infrastructure of the central bank scale up and out, companies and even individuals can directly hold and transfer "hard money" i.e. money directly issued by the central bank, without needing an intermediary bank.

When I was last tangentially involved in such projects it was quite unclear how they thought this would interact with monetary policy. Narrow banks could easily be created today without any new IT systems, but generally, governments are unwilling to do what it takes to enable them for political and financial reasons. At some level it's another obfuscated way of raising revenue without explicitly raising taxes: they force people to deposit money in banks, force banks to lend those deposits to "low risk" counterparties like themselves giving them more money to spend on vote-winning policies, then if the banks go under they either print the money to bail them out (taxation via inflation), or force banks to charge the depositors (taxation with the banks as collectors), thus hiding the true nature of what's happening.

To get banks with zero risk deposits is therefore not really an infrastructure problem - banks could easily just park cash with the CB and then charge fees for administration of things like the websites, the branches and so on. The problem is to convince governments to reduce their spending levels to the point where they can eliminate the rules forcing banks to loan them money, which in turn would allow narrow banks/accounts to appear, and that in turn would allow them to start removing the guarantee on deposits. In such a system people who wanted ROI would have to explicitly move some deposits into funds that expose the liquidity risks and requirements, and which can be left to collapse without a bailout if they make big losses.

Unfortunately governments are currently stuck in a local minima. Although everyone can see that bank runs are bad, and that they're also easy to eliminate, doing so would require people to believe that the government will not bail out depositors at a fractional reserve bank if there's a run. For as long as people suspect the government's commitment to the policy is weak, the winning move is to keep banking with a fractional reserve bank and pocket the zero-risk interest yields. The suckers who put their money in a safer place will end up poorer than those who put their money into a bank that later collapses.
Of course! Let me give this a shot with a couple examples in your suggested format...

- As an engineer for a tenant background check company, I can use Propify to easily integrate with systems like Entrata, Buildium and Propertyware so that I only need to create a single integration instead of 3.

- As a sales rep for a property maintenance company, I can confidently sell into new property managers who use systems that we don't integrate with yet because I know a new integration for our engineering team is basically like flipping a switch.
Llama.rs – Rust port of llama.cpp for fast LLaMA inference on CPU
Yeah, but "install this thing to manually tweak that thing to get those things to work" is so linux, and is exactly what Flatpak is trying to avoid.

On the other hand, its a security issue, so I supposed some opt in friction is prudent.
> the FTC said that Epic deployed a variety of design tricks known as dark patterns aimed at getting consumers of all ages to make unintended in-game purchases.

Isn't it funny how they $h!t on Apple/Google gate keeping practices? Is this a part of Project Liberty to bypass stores and scam users?
That is not a refutation of my argument. Did you read the article in full context?
Sure, that's why no consumers have ever benefited from any productivity gains ever...

Central banks don't fix the price of apples. They simply make it possible/easier for cultivators of apples to obtain capital to invest in more machines or developing new cultivars of apples. The alternative is that cultivators have to try to find the capital by borrowing more expensively from a fixed supply of stored wealth. From the point of view of people holding the stored wealth, the arms race for better products at lower prices becomes a zero sum game where it's a winning move not to just hold onto the cash and let other people take the risks. Unsurprisingly, this does not benefit consumers, or the productive.
This backstop only applies to existing holdings. Banks can't go out today and load up on hold-to-maturity assets and expect the Fed to backstop them tomorrow with loans at par value. Presumably the next step is to regulate HTM holdings so that this won't be necessary again, or else you're creating a moral hazard.
I've been thinking about it in terms of the transition from pre-1950s human computers to electronic computers. How much should we morn the loss of rooms of people doing calculations by hand? Making it easier for people to solve problems seems like an obvious win even if puts the "just give me the requirements in a ticket and let me code" programmers out of their jobs. Even outside of big software projects, imagine the business benefits from allowing an office worker to describe a problem and get an excel formula to try.
I like it when they say 'call the number printed on your bank card'. If they publish an outbound number then scammers will spoof it.
Track them down and do what? Are you deploying a local police officer to arrest a scammer in India? It seems to me that in the vast majority of cases, law enforcement efforts will immediately run into jurisdiction issues, and most of the effort will be for nothing.
The explanation that would make sense to me is

y = x ^ 1.42

Where x is the average number of servings of processed meat per day and y is the annualized risk of death due to heart disease.
There are a couple of issues drawing too much from this study.

1. They haven't found any mechanistic evidence to support this.

2. All of these populations had access to manufactured food. (Either human or pet food)

3. This is really only one study, not really a field of research.

IT seems like the theory manufactured food has gotten tasty since the 80's would also explain this data.

> If you have a history of non-payment

It happens if you have a history of not being a previous customer with them. I had a notice of good payment history from my previous electric company from another state and the company in the new state still required a deposit.

Prediction before reading to test myself:

Whole grain all the things. Oats or rye where possible for more beta-glukans(clinically proven to lower LDL). Multi-grain is ideal.

Use lean meats or fish.

Don't sweat it about the dairy. Dairy fat is surprisingly good compared to fats from meat due to the high proportion of the saturated fat that's made up of short or medium chain fatty acids. These don't affect cholesterol and may even improve HDL/LDL ratio on their own. If you throw some pesto on there you get even more healthy fats from the olive oil and choice of nuts in the pesto, as well as a nice little splash of green from basil. Add some salad if you want more greens.

Here's my recipe for an absolutely delicious, and yet healthy and wholesome sammich based on all this.

Multigrain whole grain bread. Pesto, premade or homemade with a nut of your choosing. I really like pistachio or cashew for homemade pesto though it's far too pricey to do every day. Mostly I just use the barilla stuff.

Pre-heated chicken breast, with ehatever spices you like.

A full fat cheese of your liking. My favourites include real buffalo mozzarella(luxury choice) and Jarlsberg(day to day).

Add salad or other veg to your liking, or omit.

Heat in a panini press and enjoy.

Edit after reading: yeah pretty much, though I think they left out some crucial details on how fats work that a lot of people are miseducated about.

Are they that cheap? People keep emphasizing Mint's cheapness, but it doesn't seem that cheap.

Visible charges $25/mo for unlimited service. Mint charges $30/mo for 35GB "unlimited" service with annual pre-payment or $40/mo with quarterly pre-payment - plus taxes and fees which likely raise the price $38-40 on the annual plan and around $50 on the quarterly plan. Visible's plan is actually unlimited, even if deprioritized. Mint is deprioritized always and then throttled at 35GB.

Mint's $15 4GB plan (probably around $20 with taxes/fees) is cheaper, but we're talking about saving $5/mo for a 4GB plan instead of unlimited and you have to pre-pay for a year in advance. If you're pinching every penny and want to make sure you're on Wifi all the time, yes it is a bit cheaper. Personally, I'd grab Visible's $25/mo unlimited (with taxes and fees included) and not worry.

Given what Verizon is charging with Visible, it doesn't seem like T-Mobile will start squeezing. Mint's pricing is good, but it's not some unheard of deal. Visible's unlimited is barely more expensive than Mint's 4GB plan once you account for taxes and fees. Visible's unlimited is cheaper than Mint's 4GB plan if you're doing quarterly billing with Mint - Visible with charge you $25 while Mint will charge you $25 + taxes/fees.
> It's not so much demonising as knowing most people eat too many carbs

That's not accurate. Complex carbs (e.g. beans) are the foundation of longevity, and most people don't eat enough of them.

There is a world of difference between the FDIC offering loans to be paid with interest on securities and forcing other Banks to accept it in lieu of real currency.

The Proposal is closer to the idea that you should be able to pay your cash debt with stock valued at your purchase price, and not at the current market price.

It would mean that a bank that owes another bank $100 could instead pay with Bond currently valued at $50, and then go out on the market and buy two identical new bonds with the money they saved.
