> I imagine the joy would drain out of sunsets if you've seen a billion of them, with them being as noteworthy as every time your eye blinks.

So you can imagine that rather than see another sunset, you'd die?

You can imagine a state of being where you become so jaded, so incurious, that nothing can pique your interest any more, that interpersonal relationships would be better off terminated with biological death than continued, that learning, travel, discovery all lose their meaning and value?

Honestly, as with many of these comments, I feel it says more about your present life than those who would like to live longer or indefinitely.

And I certainly know people in their 70s who are not ready to settle down and be fitted for a coffin yet, even if their bodies are starting to seriously disagree. I don't imagine they would turn down the chance of a few more decades of relative fitness.

I mean, if there are hundreds of thousands of posts from Americans talking about how it's ruined them, how the hell are you going to respond with "show me the studies"?
Estimation often is way off for construction projects, but would you hire a contractor who refused to hazard a guess of how long a job would take or how much it would cost?
I found a similar thing with Node.js. There are tons of under maintained packages while everyone moved to Go and Rust.

A lot of packages you never care what’s underneath if they are maintained and do the job. But when you have to manually patch something and it’s a pile of crap underneath then it sucks.

I much prefer to write things myself if I can now instead of using an existing package or framework. Having my own simple packages in my monorepo that I can instantly change is far better than new third party packages.

I start to wonder if checking in third party modules is the way to go.
That's why you make addressing hierarchial. With IP it was one address, 16bitx2 addressing will be fixed for the purpose of routing in that it either looks at the top level 16bit and decides the route to choose or for core routers, the destination keeps the other end of the address space in the routing table,again 16x2 on core/transit and just 16 for LAN/Host routing (higher order 16bit addresses each get their own RT, scaling as needed). Routing becomes a fast two step process ("i have a table for that, then let me lookup the route" or "I don't have the table, default route or drop"). For that small cost of additional RT lookup and memory you get faster lookups and comparisons (16 vs 32bit) and you can get small routers that support as little as 65k routes cheal for small sites and stack/scale that to meet demand. So R1 gets the packet, looks at the first 16bit and decides which R3 has the RT for that and forwards it, R3 looks at only the second 16bit due to it's role in the stack and forwards it elsewhere. Internet routers will do the most work since they will do multiple (but predictable and limited since it scales exponentially) lookups then downstream looks up less and less until the actual application gets it. 16bit to support utf16.

Arbitrary length but fixed hierarchial address partitioning.
If the sprint commitment gets bounced in favor of stuff coming in mid-sprint, they in itself might be useful information to someone who’s interested.
It is kinda typical that management likes Scrum because it gives the illusion of control. How much insight into the every day work do you have?
Completed the game straight after it came out, fantastic game.

Think they could make a killing making it multiplayer, but doesn’t look like it’s happening.

Didn’t they announce they’re switching to UE5 for future games and not developing their own game engine further? Has that now changed?
What do you make of all that in the last link?

At a cursory glance, it seems like the biohackers may simply be poisoning themselves on "fission" days and riding the rebound— eventually habituating to the fission supplements (a la arsenic eaters) so they feel less bad on the fission days (which they attribute to mitochondrial repair).

Dell Monitors have the same issue and they sent me a USB-C to HDMI adaptor which solved the problem. I guess something is wrong with the HDMI port.
> You can have perfectly predictable software development -- if you know exactly what it is you're going to build.

That's not enough - you can have pretty good predictability if you know exactly what you're going to build, and if you already built the same kind of thing with the same technologies/tools that you're going to use this time. Which is very often not the case: business very often wants new things that others don't already have, or the technologies/tools from previous times are now outdated (or believed so...).

Ask HN: Data Capture for Audit, Security and Analysis?
As a solo developer just starting a simple web app project, what data should I capture for Audit, Security and Analysis? And how do I capture and store this data? I was thinking of storing the data in a database, but the size of the database increases substantially and it becomes very expensive quickly.

What is your approach to store audit, securit and analysis related data without increasing the database size?

How is it compared to MyScale DB? It also seems to be the next-gen AI database.
As I understand it, eBPF is primarily an observation tool and thus is quite limited in the modifications it can make to kernel memory. Does it have any generic way to make arbitrary modifications to kernel memory? Obviously this would invalidate any verification guarantees, but I would expect this to be very minor modifications in practice. For example, if I wanted to hook a page fault handler to change the behaviour without having to pay the cost of signal handlers.
This looks really cool, but just imagining how I would start using this makes me feel that the API would very quickly become overloaded.
This sort of childhood trauma occurs in many societies, among people with varying backgrounds. But I think it is more prevalent in societies with more sacred cows, where eg fathers, and elders, are told they are in an elevated position by dint of who they are, and thus they must be obeyed, and must seek not to lose face. When you foster these pockets of power, one should not be surprised that power often corrupts. Until Chinese (by here I mean the ethnicity, and not the nationality) society (and other societies with similar power structures) can look at itself critically and understand the full implications of such cultural imperatives, tackling the epidemic of abuse will be an uphill battle.

Yeah, I see this completely. I'd need myself if I wasn't the maker and hence 100% sure that there is not intention to sell data.

My plan is to have mobile apps soon and make multi-device use a core part of the experience. Which is why I went with mandatory login although it makes little sense so far (since there is no really multi-device support). I just didn't want to build things twice since I'm doing this alone...

That said, I'll have to go with your other suggestion which is offering good ways to export & backup into your own storage (local or otherwise) and be upfront about this option.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!
For me that was the new SW Battlefront, which already used PBR. The game's demo blew me away. I haven't seen this Cyberpunk update but I can't imagine it being another huge step like that.
This is also because firewall administrators don't want to let anything through except DNS and HTTP. Everything runs on HTTPS because it's the only thing that won't leave your help desk constantly running traces to figure out where you're getting blocked.

It's ironic that in an effort to only allow web traffic on the network, these administrators have instead made it impossible to block anything else, because their actions forced all of those other application to disguise themselves as web traffic.

Why would I cite a court case here? I just cited a very common scenario in a better regulated industry. If you have concerns over legality, why don't you cite some law or examples that illustrate why you think this wouldn't be legal?

Collecting that data is about not wasting time looking for issues caused by unlocking and not grouping unlocked device issues in with locked device issues.

If we thought it was silly or pedantic you'd be right. But we think it's wrong.

What an excellent observation! I will quote this often. Thank you! I’d even generalize it a bit further.

Thanks for taking a gander! It is a very curious thread indeed (especially as you go deeper and deeper into its depths). Might I ask what makes you feel it is poisoning?

It is safe doses of well-known supplements (and works for other swaps in their classes -- like apigenin, sulfuraphane, etc).

Curious to hear though the thoughts on the poisoning line.
Do you really think it makes that much difference, day to day?

Because if better appreciation just means you're on the right side of an argument that very rarely comes up, then your life quality is the same.
Right, exactly. In other words, the claims it makes are unfalsifiable, because if they don't come to fruition then clearly there must be some other factor in play.
that proof assumes the desire to live will remain constant over time but it will not. parts of the human body will decay and over time the will to live will drop.

death is inevitable. by artificially extending your lifespan, you're not becoming immortal. you're taking an event that typically comes as a natural part of life and is out of your control and forcing yourself to choose when it happens. you will have to choose at what point your agony is so unbearable that you no longer want to live.

people who are unlucky already have to live that hell in modern times. i don't think people chasing this fever dream have experienced the joy of seeing it play out.
> All dysfunction comes from people perpetuating processes that don't work. That's what agile was about originally.

Agile is far worse than anything I experienced earlier. It was pushed as some sort of dogma where you are a cranky non-teamplayer person for arguing it is a bad idea. A counter-revolutionary blocking utopia.

Giving non-programmers insight into every small tasks is a big mistake.

HW exists of course, but the software is another story. With macOS you have zero issues. I've been using a 4k setup for probably 6 years now, in addition to my retina MBP's.
This is the real comment here. I've worked in all three, scrum, kanban and waterfall, and I know from personal experience that they all have their shortcomings and it really depends on what you are trying to deliver and how well your team responds. We've moved from waterfall to scrum to kanban and back and the one standout is clarity of minimum requirements and boy is that hard to get from the relevant people. If you don't get that then stick with waterfall because then no one is responsible!
I honestly believe chess.com didn't have much to do with it. Streamers and youtubers popularized chess and chess.com rode/is riding the wave. Which is impressive in itself.
To an extent, but memory bandwidth soon becomes a bottleneck there too. The hidden state and the KV cache are large so it becomes a matter of how fast you can move data in and out of your L2 cache. If you don’t have a unified memory pool it gets even worse.
I personally think it would be so cool to see the world evolve over thousands of years.

Maybe we'd be nicer to each other if we lived that long, because we know our empire might be on top now, but likely not through our lifetime.

But wealth inequality would probably be even worse, because by the time one generation dies, they've already bought up every piece of land in the world.

Do you see more discussion of anti-aging on HN than you see discussion of major diseases?

I don't see more of it. And I think it's fair to talk about aging as much as cancer, for example. They're both very difficult fights to claw back months or years, but we can figure out how to slow the progress and cure specific instances.

If we could extend life expectancy by two years that might beat covid in impact. Isn't that worth significant research and discussion?

It's not just people idly wanting to live a million years.
Likely if it works, it'll be one piece of the puzzle.

It's not all that hard to try to be honest. Some people have reported absolutely massive changes, some small, some little to none. One or two said decrease but there seemed to be maybe some valid external factors for that.

That's about the distribution one could expect if mitochondrial damage was at play and there was an effective solution for it. Not everyone is going to respond well, likely the older the better if it actually is doing what it says on the tin.
OnePlus also doesn't allow enrollment of custom signing keys like Pixels do so they're objectively worse for your ownership even if they don't phone home.

Their security patch and update support for hardware is also abysmal.
I've seen many people complain about reviews and retrospectives in those threads... But they don't seem like a bad thing to me. The problem is if the sprint is too short. But if the review and retro are done e.g. once every month or so, it can be a good way to see what the other teams have been doing and get an overall picture of your software. And the retro can be a good opportunity to talk about any problems that you encountered, and maybe trigger a solution, or at least just vent about it.
Neat, but that also means their value as MFA is undermined.

It's no longer "something you have" when it can freely be copied, including by a casual passerby or a virus. You're basically reducing it to a password stored in a file called "MY PASSWORDS" on your desktop.

Great for user friendliness, terrible for security. So now when you use Passkeys we'll need to add another 2FA instance to properly secure your account...
We are way way past "doing it right".

It is agile that is at fault, not the average management on the average company.

If the average manager and dev won't be able to do it, then it is a lousy process.

Google Authenticator added exporting a while ago, although it is annoying on some platforms except for the case where you are exporting to another device running Google Authenticator.

That’s because it exports via QR codes containing information for a batch of accounts. On Apple devices you can screenshot that QR code, but I’m told that on Android it disables screenshots so you need another device to save a copy (or you use a photocopier to make a paper copy).

Once you have the QR code, use a QR code reader to extract the data. There is open source software that can turn the batch data from the QR code into individual account data and individual QR codes so you can use them with other TOTP software.
I don't see retrospectives being that much of a time-sink, it's a 30min/1hr meeting every 2 weeks. Even when I was on a kanban team they still had a fortnightly retrospective, it's useful to have a checkup occasionally.
Sure, and when the chip is available and that test can be done independently, that’ll largely answer the question. For now, it’s pretty much just marketing claims.

After you’ve had a chance to learn single-variable calculus and introductory linear algebra, I highly recommend two books for “second courses” in these areas:

1. “Vector Calculus” by Baxandall and Liebeck is excellent. Begins with a semi-formal review of single variable calculus before going onto a mix of linear algebra and multi variable calculus.

2. “Linear Algebra Done Right” by Axler is one of my favorite books in any field. Might be challenging to people completely new to proofs or linear algebra but starts with pretty simple foundations and builds up an excellent rigorous foundation. I enjoyed this way more than other intro LA books but needed to study more applied LA first to be able to read this. Another approach is to start with abstract algebra and then go into the Axler.

I self-studied both of these texts many years after college and had forgotten pretty much all my math except some high school stuff. Supplemented by YouTube videos, Khan Academy, I felt pretty confident and eventuallY fell in love with both of these texts.
This is just doing scrum badly... management break it by insisting the metrics etc are used as a reporting mechanism, they just cannot get away from "intensive control mode". The metrics are supposed to be for the team to use internally.

But I do agree with the post - Kanban is way way better and you can include the scrum continuous improvement elements as well on a regular cycle.
My guess is ADHD people are drawn to the software industry. Open source is probably fueled by it. It’s a spectrum and I think a lot more people are on the spectrum than they realize.

It’s a constant pursuit for new stuff. Sometimes this can be good, but other times it’s just new for the sake of being different.

I think the minions are surprisingly to blame for a lot of the problems with tech. The tech debt excuse is of our own doing.
Well, you’re still doing that in an existing project. You’re just dealing with constraints that are in the current context frustrating or nonsensical.

> Everything dies, or breaks down, or decays. That's just how the universe works.

Sure, that's entropy, but that's only necessarily true at the level of the whole system, energy inputs can and do reduce local entropy.

> The best you'll get is extended life

Sounds good, let's start there. 'True' immortality may or may not be a pipe dream, but it doesn't matter if it is. Almost nobody is talking about living absolutely forever, but looking at ways in which greater longevity can be achieved. I'd bite your hand off for another couple of decades on top of whatever my current 'allocation' might be, I don't give a crap if we've "conquered death" or not, but if we can find ways to give the average person more time, that seems like a win.

> Better that those resources go to something more productive, like healthcare.

How is this not healthcare?

There seems to be this backlash against any talk of life extension, that other things matter more, that it's somehow frivolous, or just morally wrong to seek to live longer. It feels to me entirely arbitrary as we already use all sorts of interventions to help people live longer, and to be healthier for more of that time. This is good and wise and virtuous. But some folks seem to have this weird switch in their heads when extending life gets mentioned, that suddenly they're uncomfortable and the whole thing is not to be discussed by preference.

And I wonder if it's because they don't want to admit to themselves or others that they are terrified, but have rationalised away their fear as "meant to be, can't be changed". Such talk of extension makes them uncomfortable.
Day to day, not at all. Just more generally. How many times have we heard 'I wish I'd visited my X more before they died.' Timelines and sense of mortality force you to think about such things.

It's definitely not about taking solace in winning some inane argument. I won't be celebrating my death, nor yours, as some kind of win.
