I don't buy any specific anti-seed-oil claims, but it generally seems like a bad idea to dramatically change where people get a high % of their calories from using a food source that has has in some cases (canola) never before been consumed in humans and in others was consumed only in much smaller quantities. The safest bet is probably to eat diets as closely resembling those of your healthy ancestors as reasonably possible. Human biology is so insanely complex that we're simply never in our lifetimes going to be able to intelligently meddle here.
Ask HN: Feedback for Feedback? (May 2023)
Let's start a monthly thread where we can share what we're working on and get feedback on it.

I'll share what I'm working on in the comments.
The front page is perpetually full of crap. There just aren't always 30 interesting recent articles in the world, and that's fine. Don't worry about it too much.
I still don't really get it. There are so many simple, easy to build, cheap to run three tier frameworks out there so why bother with all the hassle of porting at all? If your system gets super busy then you can repurpose the code with higher performance and well tuned DBs later. I spent 15 years doing that for some of the busiest systems in the world, but those started on a single cpu.
I agree for downvoted posts, but why do text submissions need to be unreadable?
Book Review: Red Plenty
The "of course, pay was lower" isn't what the 4DWW movement is fighting for though: it's about having 1 fewer day of work with no increase in hours and no loss of pay.

Productivity has been going up for half a century now with profits going to the top rather than the workers. All workers deserve 1 day less of work.

Us tech workers too: with modern tooling spinning up a new service (a server in production) can take under a day of work while in the past it would be weeks! We do so much more today per day than ever before yet don't usually have the option to work fewer days.
Serverless first is a mistake. It should be "serverless where it's distinct advantages are actually useful" which is way less common than people think.

Also generally the conception that building things with containers + k8s actually takes more time than serverless is a horseshit take IMO.
It doesn't and if it's taking you longer you are probably doing something wrong.

All the points noted in the slides etc just come from poor engineering leadership. i.e decisions/choices, etc. Constaints do speed up development but they can be enforced by leadership, not by putting yourself in an endless pit of technical debt.

The only world where I can make a good case for serverless for small teams is if you have said poor leadership and serverless helps you escape their poor decision making.

Otherwise assuming you have the mandate necessary to get stuff built the right way just stick with the Boring Tech stack of JVM + PG + k8s. It solves all problems regardless of size, there are minimal decisions to be made (really just Spring or Quarkus atm) and you won't spend time dicking around with half-baked serverless integration crap. Instead you can just use battle tested high performance libraries for literally everything.

Don't get sucked into this serverless nonsense. It's always been bad and it probably always will be. When it's out of fashion Boring Tech will still be here.
Why would text posts be made unreadable?

As for downvoted posts, eh, it would be better to collapse them by default or something instead of showing them but making them unreadable.
I want to comment on this because you are phrasing it as if people who got the vaccine are in denial and not wanting to talk about it. Topics like this are hard to discuss because they are immediately polarizing and everyone who has a strong opinion but very little understanding of the science feels the to get their quip in about how right they are and how wrong the other people are. You can especially since it in threads relating celebrity deaths with comments like "well we know what REALLY killed them wink wink"
Inability to complete certain tasks does not mean that the system is not intelligent.

It’s possible for a system to be intelligent and also fail at these questions.

IMO a system is intelligent if it can answer some questions that require intelligence (by definition) - it does not have to be able to answer all questions.
3.5? 4? Is your prompt detailed enough?
I mean its posted to jacobin.com -> go look up who the jacobins were and the time of terror and you realize the point of the site is over the top polemics. They named themselves after a group that slaughtered their political enemies. It's basically a more obscure older equivalent of khmer-rouge.com - naming yourself after historical political mass murderers.

But Doctorow's fiction is better than his opinion pieces.
if only the reviewers were paid I'd understand the question in the context of price gauging.
however the journal does _not_ pay the reviewers.

the question how to best organize academic peer review is independent from the price gauging.
> above 128gb RAM at the same speeds or better

No way! That would be too expensive for us! To be able to really "crush" Apple, vendors MUST charge the same amount of money for RAM upgrade, and 8GB -> 128GB would be $3000!
Initially I wanted Ukraine to kick Russia’s ass. Nothing else mattered. It was just so unprovoked and unfair. I wanted Europe to act sooner and faster.

But then I lost interest in the conflict and stopped following it daily like I think many others did and was able to view it from a realistic unemotive standpoint.

What is obvious like in all conflicts is that everyone will be friends again. Look at the atrocities Germany committed and Germans are now friends with everyone.

WW2 was against an evil racist ideology which had to be destroyed.

Russia is a kleptocracy run by one guy. When he dies it’s over. They will liberalize. It seems quite obvious.

A deal should have been struck to give Putin some territory. Instead we get bloodshed cheered on by the world which really has no skin in the game. It’s a spectator sport. And Ukrainian lives are being used to wear down Russia for everyone’s benefit.
Ask HN: What productivity tools do you use?
What tools do you use to keep track of your daily tasks, projects, and other obligations?

What do you like about these tools and what would you like to change?
> Monolithic apps can have a service based architecture internally

Not only that, but if you absolutely must (for example different scaling requirements), forking out a service from a monolith and deploying it as microservice is relatively straightforward. Provided source code interdependencies have been maintained cleanly before, which can be done with support from tools.

You are doing several things wrong.

1: Which ChatGPT are you using? 3 or 4?

2: You are not clearly describing your problem. Teams? How many should it be splitting? Why do you need a backend? Why isn't this just a simple HTML page? Any examples? Have you clearly thought through what you want?

3: You are not sharing the prompts you used. How do you expect us to help you if you don't share what you tried?

In general, people who cannot communicate clearly are going to have a lot of trouble working with something which requires clear communication.

That prestige exists because of its editors and its history in a specific field of study. There’s no “value” being created by the publisher itself in this respect.
I think it originally was meant to discourage those too (they also get a ranking penalty afaik), since HN should primarily be a link site.

It's a bit off though, since it e.g. also applies to the "officially selected" Launch HN: posts.
that's the fate of all lecturing and politicized fiction and I think Nabokov summed up very well what is wrong with it:

[...] I am neither a reader nor a writer of didactic fiction, and, despite John Ray's assertion, Lolita has no moral in tow. For me a work of fiction exists only insofar as it affords me what I shall bluntly call aesthetic bliss, that is a sense of being somehow, somewhere, connected with other states of being where art (curiosity, tenderness, kindness, ecstasy) is the norm. There are not many such books. All the rest is either topical trash or what some call the Literature of Ideas, which very often is topical trash coming in huge blocks of plaster [...]

Doctorow and quite a few contemporary sci-fi writers are very strong offenders on this front.
I believe we have found the economist.

What's the electrical failure rate of every appliance in your home, and the associated risk of death by electrocution? If you don't know offhand, it might be that you are implicitly relying on UL standards to keep you safe and whole.

Consumers don't have perfect information, so the risk is asymmetric. If you assume the market will sort out risk and quality so we don't need standards and enforcement thereof, I don't believe your model is aligned with reality.
"Magic hostname" mentioned in article (afwprovisioning-pa.googleapis.com) makes me believe this may be related to zero-touch enrollment of Android Enterprise/Android for Work (https://support.google.com/work/android/answer/7514005). I'm sure devices sold to regular customers and enterprises are identical and nobody is going to unbox and pre-provision them before shipment, so unboxed phone needs to contact provisioning server at least once to verify that there is no pending zero-touch enrollment configuration prepared for it (which may prevent bootloader unlocking if device is enterprise-owned).

RIP Balto.

“I can't shake an earlier story that Mr. Evans relayed. In the waning days of Theranos, Ms. Holmes got a dog, a Siberian husky named Balto. Last year, when a mountain lion carried Balto away from the front porch, Ms. Holmes spent 16 hours searching in the woods, digging through brambles and poison oak, hoping to find him alive. Everyone knew Balto was dead, but Ms. Holmes kept searching. The relentlessness. The certainty. The fanaticism. It's the same way Ms. Holmes kept hanging on at Theranos.

Ms. Holmes eventually found her beloved husky, Balto, in the woods. But by then the dog was gone, torn apart by the mountain lion.”
This also applies to downvoted posts on HN. On a windows machine i have to highlight them to read them, on mac it's a problem because the highlight color doesn't make a good contrast with the grey, and I don't want to change my system highlight color just for HN. I would much prefer a numerical score, or the downvoted comments being rendered into comic sans than having the comment fade away. Often good and valid comments are hidden through groupthink. Also, I still want to read comments I might disagree with even if they come from people I dislike.
It does make life so much easier. My whole stack is Elixir, Postgres, a bit of Vanilla JS, Tailwind (which isn’t strictly needed but I love it), and libvips (we do lots of stuff with images). Esbuild is in the mix for assets but no npm! And no web API!
Who told you ChatGPT can do this? ChatGPT can assist you in doing this by (potentially) making the process faster (I say potentially because you typically have to know what to ask and how to ask). But you generally have to know what you're doing otherwise you'll be stuck in the hallucination wonderland and dumb q/a loops the result of which will range from bad (code doesn't work) to terrible (code works, but not really the way you intended or has silent bugs).

Tldr: LLMs are like fire. A good servant but a bad master.
This is not how incentives work. Companies can and have creates inferior and dangerous products for the sake of profits. See the Phoebus cartel and the BMW emission scandal.
I don't care for serverless, but your suggestion that the only right way to build software is by using the JVM, and the only right way to use the JVM is to use Spring or Quarkus is... puzzling to say the least.

I might as well say that you should run everything on PHP. I guess that's boring too?
Hey, author here. I appreciate your reflections here. One of my motivations for writing this essay is that the difficulty of Asian family dynamics is rarely talked about, despite it being something that many of us seem to face.

I have dreams about my dad as well. Just last night I dreamt that he was beating me, and I kept screaming "help me, help me!" in my dream, except no one responded. Always hard to remind myself it's just a nightmare in the moment, when the scene is so visceral.

I think you hit the nail on the head with coping being a hard journey that is still in our locus of control. I wish you (and me!) lots of grace in navigating the Asian kid journey. Think I'll always be navigating it.

One thing I wonder about your dad is what his childhood was like. I wonder what sorts of pains he grew up with, such that he took it out so violently (physically and emotionally), on you and your mom.

Thank you for reading through and for writing such a thoughtful comment. I'm really grateful for it.
Pixel's are locked down a very tiny bit, and I don't think this is some kind of dystopian over-reach with security as an excuse. For all the security listed in this thread the whole "I must connect to the internet once" problem is a very fair tradeoff from the user's perspective.
Peer review absolutely add costs. Finding a reviewer who's qualified, free and willing takes time and effort, and that's increasing by the day. Frankly, I think peer review is doomed. There's now a flood of AI-generated papers that journals need to weed out, and even 99% success is not good enough for peer-reviewers' workload and continued respect. On top of that, natural demographics, the cuts to university funding in the West and the improvement of education in Africa, Asia and South America mean there is a greater and greater proportion of young researchers to experienced, overburdened researchers, and that's just too much load to bear.
Until GPT can download and install itself and other DL projects from GitHub without problems on any OS, I'm not going to expect much else from it.

problem is that its really hard to know what exactly is enough. Old age is a bitch and full of uncertainty. What if you need in house nursing care for last 20 yrs of ur life.

Only way to know when is enough is if you make a pact with yourself that you;d end your life when it becomes miserable and you are no longer independent.

Looking into Android Code Search, I've found the same issues. Google keeps saying C++ is a terrible language, but the way they use it is pretty bad too. "A bad workman blames his tools" springs to mind a lot reading that code.
Just out of curiosity, is it "just" the Internet or "connect to the internet, log in to a foogle account"?
best practices:

1. user resizable text fonts

2. user zoomable regions

3. on screen: white on black, default. users can tweak

4. on paper: black on white, default.

5. (related to 3 and 4) when looking at a PDF on screen let user see it as white on black, if wishes

these are all in my own personal rulebook of software engineering best practices anyway

> It’s interesting that there are folks who think there must be only one architecture to be the best in all cases.

> To know this enough experience (both good and bad) is needed with both microservices and monoliths.

Over the years I have worked with a huge number of people who are looking for Silver Bullets and Best Practices, generally for one (or both) of these reasons:

- To be blameless if the architecture doesn't work out (building with microservices is a Best Practice, it's not my fault it got very expensive)

- To cut down on the number of deep-thinking decisions they have to make

And to be fair on the second point, I don't necessarily disagree with the premise; if these kinds of decisions allow you to get going quicker, it's not necessarily the wrong choice at the moment. What everyone needs to keep in mind, though, is that if you don't do deep architectural thinking and planning at the start of a project (or even if you do sometimes...), you'll have to revisit it later. Often the same forces and pressures that led to taking shortcuts at the early architectural stages of a project will continue to be present down the road, and it'll be more work to fix it later than to do it right the first time.

It's a tough balance. If there's a high risk that the project won't be alive in 6 months it probably doesn't matter. If it's a prototype that's very likely to get into and stay in production, then it really does matter.
great now everyone who doesn't get matches or who matches with any bot will think they are in the "dark dating pool"
I think the next step for the development side would be expanding to additional CAT test options. The CAT can be offered in a timed format as well and the untimed one and also in paper form if students/administrators prefer. Some customers have expressed wanting to purchase just the test without the practice test which can also be an option, but the code will need to be modified to support these types of additional options. After that we may consider expanding to more test or other relevant products - definitely open to suggestions for products!

The closest analogy I can think of is a highway billboard. Say there’s a really good spot with lots of traffic, and you want drivers to see your ad. The billboard company provides a venue for you to put up the ad, and takes care of the printing and real estate. Other than that, the rest of the process of making that ad poster is up to you, your company and any partners you rely on.

The publisher is like the billboard company in that they provide the venue, maybe with good visibility, handle the printing and hosting, and connect you with unpaid peer reviewers.

The only one making money off of all this is the publisher. The benefit you get is that someone else gets to read your work, and maybe you got a “good billboard spot” to get the most impact.

The extra part of this is that academic researchers are a captive market, similar to users who have only one ISP to choose from like Comcast. You have to publish on That Specific Billboard or you risk career suicide. If you were the billboard owner, you have a strong incentive to charge outrageous prices because you know that your customers rely on you, and have nowhere else to go.
How to make smaller C and C++ binaries
No, I don’t.

They’re supporting both standard and proprietary. My MacBook Pro is connected to a multi port USB-C charger 99% of the time, which also charges my phone and my headset. MagSafe sits in the backpack when I need to work somewhere else than my desk, which doesn’t happen much. I’d argue it’s the best of both worlds.

If it only supported MagSafe I’d be seriously annoyed.
As a Lisp fan who sometimes codes in Scheme and Common Lisp whenever I get the chance, I agree with you. The gap has certainly narrowed in the past 20 or so years between Lisp and widely-used programming languages. In addition, the rise of statically-typed functional programming languages like OCaml and Haskell provide another alternative for those who love functional programming but want Hindley-Milner types.

I still think Lisp, whether in the form of Scheme or Common Lisp (I haven’t tried Clojure), is quite enlightening due to the immense flexibility these languages provide. However, I’m reminded of the rationale of MIT’s decision back in 2009 to move away from SICP and Scheme in the intro CS course in favor of Python: the vast majority of developers aren’t building new ecosystems from the ground up, but are instead reliant on an ecosystem of libraries. Lisps are wonderful for creating whole worlds due to the powerful tools they provide. I’m currently working on a side project where Lisp’s flexibility comes in handy. But if I’m effectively gluing together APIs to build a solution (and this is not an insult), then do I need macros, MOP, multiple dispatch, and homoiconicity? Thus, many programmers do not need the full power of Lisp to get their jobs done. There’s also the fact that languages like Python and JavaScript have a lot more commercial and community backing than Scheme and Common Lisp.

If I’m writing something complex like a DBMS or web browser, then Common Lisp would be one of my first choices. However, if I’m writing a machine learning application or a web application, then I’ll most likely reach for Python or JavaScript, respectively, due to the library ecosystems.

Apple is not adding USB-C to iPhone, they will drop the port completely. If you follow any interview with Apple execs they very specifically say “We will comply with the law”, not “we will add USB-C”. The law says that if there is a port it must be USB-C but it doesn’t mandate the existence of one.
This will probably also kill any R&D in that space, because why would you invest in searching for a better charging port only to have it denied by the EU.
Am I alone in feeling there is nothing left to be said on this topic? Correct application design, and balancing that against the constraints of getting a product out the door, the requirements of a particular application, and the resources on hand (skill-sets, developers, infrastructure) does not in my opinion boil down to "microservices vs monolith".

Both strategies have tradeoffs, both have produced successes and failures, and choice of approach seems (obviously) too specific to a given context and application for general advice to apply.
Your hostile / aggressive tone is not ideal either...
