I’m not sure I have anything too enlightening to add, but my anecdotal experience with IBS resonates with this.

I have gotten my IBS under control through a variety of ways, but perhaps my first realization of this was around 15 years ago. I had not received much help from my doctor or gastroenterologist, and back then, gastroenterologists did not like to approach IBS at all, because it’s a tricky syndrome and their training at the time didn’t have much to offer.

At some point, I noticed that it was a two way street between anxiety my IBS. If I was having anxiety, then I’d often start having digestive problems. If I started having digestive problems, I’d also have increased anxiety. This was first apparent to me around traveling, because all of the hustle and bustle of getting through airports was an anxiety trigger, and I w was simultaneously disrupting my diet, causing an IBS flair every time I went somewhere.

Back then, I had been reading about the potential positive effects of cognitive behavioral therapy for IBS. So I began to practice awareness and some simple CBT, anticipated by knowing I’d be anxious about traveling.

Much to my surprise, it helped immensely in that particular scenario. It’s hard to have that level of emotional awareness all the time though.

In case it helps anyone, I’ve tried a ton of things over the years. The things that have helped me most are - probiotics (histamine degrading), soluble fiber supplementation (acacia root) and low histamine diet.

So this system gets abused in sports. I wonder if there are applications in the real world (like tracking of movement of (individual) cars).
Growing up in India, I had been a huge fan of Tintin. Reading books, and buying them, you had to be at least middle class, it wasn't accessible as libraries in the West. But still, was popular as I recall amongst the well educated since at least the late 90's and early 00's (when I grew up) I think.

Unlike basic weather metrics like temperature, humidity etc. Air quality measurements are directly impacted by human activity and are extremely contentious.

In my hometown, there is a fight between locals and waste operators over excessive burn offs. The validity of air quality readings from the area are being tested in court.

In the past, the Vietnamese government removed IQAir from the App Store and Google Play as citizens became increasingly concerned about the air quality in the capital cities.

You wont learn much if you label everything you don't understand a 'conspiracy theory'. Air quality is not just another weather measurement.
Sources for censoring truthful stories?

Because it otherwise seems reasonable that a person formerly I charge of preventing false and misleading claims is also against people producing fake porn of them.

In general fake porn is a scourge anyway as it is very clearly used almost entirely on women, and it is extremely clear that women are always the target when it is used to intentionally abuse and harass folk.

Just give it a little time, it will come.
I'm not going to give examples here, but: there are tons of sites that no one is ever going to bother impersonating you on. They can't use them to buy, sell, move money, or ruin your reputation.

Maybe they're like diseases you have that aren't any threat to your health.

If some site is really important, then yes: you do need a unique password for it.
Your points do nothing to back up your claim that "serverless architectures are much more complicated compared to servers"

1. You still have to do polling with servers
2. Not a serverless problem
3. Not a serverless problem
4. This is a tradeoff, not complexity
5. Why not? What does serverless have to do with this?
6. Appears you're confusing serverless and FaaS. Regarldess, FaaS has incredibly predictable pricing. Previously if you paid $15 for a server, you're going to be billed for however many servers you had running on average throughout the month.
7. It's not. Your points here are trying to back it up, but have so far not done so.
8. Why would that be? And how does that factor into complexity?

Your claim is flawed for two reasons:
1. Serverless != FaaS. FaaS is serverless, serverless is not FaaS.
2. You've not taken auto-scaling into consideration on the server side.
Don't be so sure. The English courts agreed to extradite Richard O'Dwyer to America for link sharing. In the end he avoided it by signing a deferred prosecution agreement and paying a fine.
I thought this was a good interview, and interesting to see what has changed in the past 13 years. IMO HN still has by far the best commentary compared to any aggregator. I think there is a lot shittier commentary than there used to be, but that still tends to get downvoted to the bottom or flagged, and dang somehow manages to keep the flame wars to a minimum.

One glaring omission in this interview, though, was how Slashdot died. As a former heavy Slashdot user, it wasn't that it got "too big", it was a useless redesign that did it. The redesign that finally killed it for me wasn't as bad as the infamous Digg V4 redesign, but it was still pretty awful. Could tell that some designers who didn't understand how users actually used the site got control: the redesign was perhaps "prettier", but it made it impossible for me to use. LOADS of unnecessary whitespace made it hard to skim threads, and I don't remember all the details but they royally f'd up the sorting, so it became near impossible to find high quality comments bubbling to the top. I was a frequent daily user who basically stopped overnight because I found the new design so hard to use.
The part that caught my eye in the presentation was that it suggested the possibility of digging into someone’s immigration status and reporting them to ICE. It shocks me that a private corporation would get someone deported for doing something that’s not illegal.
Your expectation was that this information was free, and you got offended when you realised they trade in information and you have to pay with giving some back?

This is not a dark pattern any more than giving a company like GlassDoor this information is a dark deed.

You have that little confidence that engineers can make things waterproof? all it takes is a sealed environment with a gasket and a bunch of screws. Making "clip in" backs that are waterproof is a challenge, but there's no reason that has to be the norm, screws have worked for centuries and don't break nearly as often as clips
Another interesting feature of capability-based systems (that is outside Zanzibar's scope) is that capabilities can themselves be used to gain access to an object. This is because they are unforgeable tokens, meaning they essentially have authentication baked into them. Zanzibar leaves the authentication piece to an external service and focuses on providing the ability to define, store, and query access rights for subjects.
Insta definitely uses IP blocks to force login walls, but I don’t think it’s anti-scraping, because the limit seems to be like 3 images before you get redirected to log in - it’s way too low and too much of a pain in the ass to normal users to be intentionally anti-scraping and unintentionally anti-logged-out-users.

That (or the independent retailer equivalent, and for an Android) was plan A, but over a year after formulating that plan, it hadn't actually happened. The kit was a smidge cheaper, and honestly I quite enjoyed doing it myself.

As a bonus, I still have the tools.

We successfully used a Relationship-based Authorization System based on the Zanzibar paper at my last job building a B2B SaaS leaning heavily on cross-company integration.

The flexibility in defining rules through tuples helped us iterate rapidly on new product features. We used self-hosted Ory Keto [0] instances as the implementation, though we would have preferred a managed solution. We were checking out Auth0 Fine Grained Authorization [1] but it was still in Alpha back then.

This is even worse. You can't trust either Mozilla or Google to vet the extensions they publish for spyware. So you have to trust and/or verify that this extension does what it says and no more. But worse, you have to vigilantly watch the extension for any changes, even if you trust the developer today he may sell it to a spyware company at any time.

Recently, I've dealt with behavioral issues with my aging mother brought about by a series of different factors, but most significantly age-related cognitive decline.

Trying to determine if she was acting in a certain way intentionally or unintentionally was fundamentally impossible. In the past, I mistreated her thinking she was choosing to behave in certain ways whenever she really didn't have much of a choice, but then later I realized that to some extent and in some situations, she was. It's an extremely murky line, what decisions were being made due to other influences and what decisions were being made by her, that line never existed to begin with as who her consciousness is fundamentally is determined exclusively by 'outside' influences. Separating her identity as an entity from her material manifestation is likely nonsensical.

"can be", if taken as modestly as needed for it to be correct here, is pretty much a completely useless statement. Of course [insert modern sort] is [a ton] faster than [some other unspecified old sort that might not even be targeting perf for sorting plain integers]. So I'd assume most would think that's clearly the wrong interpretation, and read it as a stronger assertion, i.e. any currently known scalar sort is ~10x slower than vqsort/avx512sort, for at least some (this "some" being the justification for "can be" over "will be") input. (and naively this makes sense - 512-bit SIMD processes 16 32-bit elements in a single instruction, so a 10x improvement doesn't sound unreasonable)
While I want a.build system to be declaritive, in the real world there is always complexity they designers didn't think of. So I need an escape to build something they didn't think of.

asterix heros are kind of brilliant like that. asterix is like superman but superman has superpowers that can be thwarted by kryptonite while asterix is simply the cleverest gauleois that makes the most out of getafix’s potion (wait, get a fix?? is that a pun I just discovered after 20 years?)
On the other hand obelix is a big dummy that always has the potion superpowers (by virtue of falling in a coldron of it when he was young) and is terrible at using his superpowers without the help of the cunning asterix.

I'm on a pixel 6A. It cost me under £200 factoring in the trade in deal that let me trade in a 10 year old phone (if you don't have one eBay one for £5).

And there are plenty of reasonable smart phones for less than £100 these days. You can get something like a Motorola E13 for under £70 that will do everything most people use their phones for well (beyond the camera being nothing special, but we're comparing to a dumb phone).

I think the sweet spot should be showing the actual date/time if > 24 hours. For rest, you could do "6 hours ago" or "15 mins ago". Then show a tooltip on the "6 hours ago" to show actual date/timestamp. THis is a better user experience in my opinion.

PC is a completely different and interesting history, but for Xbox it's simply because msot people are buying into Gamepass.

Haha...let me just say that small companies fighting to stay afloat cause an enormous amount of stress. Every decision is scrutinized and debated. Egos flare and you end up with physical altercations.

Probably the most serious altercation is from the late 90s...the co-owner walked into a meeting, after yelling at the other co-owner for awhile, people stood up and the one co-owner knocked out the other. The one who threw the punch left and we never saw again.

Unfortunately I think you are probably right. One thing I don't get though, why is either ms or Sony still in the console business. It's extremely risky, why bother when real money is mobile?

Edit: is pc gaming really growing? That surprises me, I used to really be in to pc games (late 90s). GPUs are ridiculously expensive, is it really big now? It was niche in my day
Your line of questioning makes no sense. You are introducing the medium as an issue -- why? If you have would have a legal leg to stand on, ask a lawyer. Do you have a moral right? Yes, of course, you've been violated.

Also, the "traditional wholesome art mediums" thing is a bit weird to use for an argument, to me anyway. The act is made much more disturbing and violent owing to the image being created by hand, with care and attention.
Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn redirect me to the login page without ever showing me the content. I guess they don't like my ISP. Since I'm not going to create an account, now I just avoid their links when searching for something.

Last year (I think) Twitter started showing a login/registration popup as soon we started scrolling. Not as bad, but the popup wasn't dismissible (now it is), so for a while I also stopped clicking on Twitter links.

Reddit also hides some subs on mobile and requires us to install the app... that same sub is available on old.reddit.com (or the now discontinued i.reddit.com).

I started using extensions that redirect these services to better front ends. Twitter → Nitter, Reddit → Old Reddit or Teddit/Libreddit, etc. I do the same on my phone (Android and Firefox, I don't think you can do the same on iOS).
A l7 (http) proxy will not work for this. Even if you are able to redirect the app to your proxy by overriding DNS it would just fail on the TLS handshake since Netflix is using https. You would need to have their private server certificate to make it work. Plus they might infer from extra headers that traffic is Proxied.

=> You need a L4 proxy, aka VPN
> much simpler to work with.

It's simple when the task is simple, and it becomes a lot more complex than necessary when problems become more complex.

Consider the joy of sysfs / procfs and similar. These are filesystems that, through files, expose information that is numbers, strings, lists, even trees. There's no uniformity there, no way to predict where and what sort of files with what sort of data will appear... Sometimes you get extra files with "metadata" that describes the format found in other files, sometimes it's in the same file, and sometimes it just doesn't exist. Sometimes numbers are encoded as strings, and sometimes as bytes. Booleans can be encoded as numbers, (which are either strings or bytes).

There's plenty of weird behavior that isn't described by files / their properties. For example, suppose you want to delete a RAID device, but if fails because it turns out that it's used by LVM volume, but you didn't even know you were supposed to look for that...

It gets even worse with proprietary stuff that doesn't follow conventions. Take for instance NVidia GPUs. They do appear in sysfs as PCIe devices... but most interesting properties just aren't listed there. Instead, NVidia's driver creates "devices" in udevfs (i.e. /dev) with arbitrary properties that you cannot predict because the format is whatever the vendor wanted it to be at any version of their product.

In other words, files are a very poor mechanism for describing data. In order to work with them you need conventions that aren't part of any file mechanism. Take network interface names, or block device names, stuff like eth0 or nvme0n1p1 -- you need to know the convention and how to interpret the name (i.e. the first suggests that the device is using Ethernet driver and is the first one connected, the second means that the device is using NVMe driver, it's the first device of its kind attached to PCIe bus, first namespace, first partition.) Specifically, in the case of block devices, you could discover the same information given in the file name by traversing the relevant filesystem subtree, but in some cases the information is just encoded as a file name or as it contents, but it doesn't utilize the filesystem primitives. It just relies on convention.

> I think most Unix software uses a fairly simple text format for config files

How did you count?

Do you mean software that is part of UNIX standard or software that runs on UNIX?

What makes the majority an interesting metric? (I.e. suppose there are 10M of different programs that run on UNIX, and 6M of them are simple enough that they don't require complicated configuration, there are still 4M of those that do, and some of them are probably used daily by millions of users.

I mean, who cares if simple programs don't need complicated configuration? The problem is the configuration of complex programs, and they are indispensible in our daily lives.
As I discovered when considering this problem a few months ago :)

This isn't my first rodeo down this particular philosophical culdesac, but what I've always wondered is - why do you have to destroy the source person in the teleporter? If you don't, then there's still an exact replica of you at the destination. What if the copy comes back to Earth via spaceship and shoots you? The end result is the same, but it sure looks like you're dead.
NASA Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS)
Hello HN! I work on a spaceflight mission planning application called FreeFlyer. I recently toured NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and learned about this incredibly cool mission called MMS that uses our software[1].

There are 4 spacecraft in a tight formation that form a tetrahedron as they approach apogee. On perigee, they switch to a string of pearls formation (I’ve also heard it referred to as a “bananoid”). After being deployed in orbit, each spacecraft deployed four 200ft long wire booms (on the sides) and two axial booms (top and bottom). The closest the spacecraft have ever been to each other is 7.2km (4.47mi), which is absolute clowntown given their speed.

They flew so close together that they won a Guinness World Record[2]! The mission won _another_ record for navigating with GPS signals farther from Earth than ever before[3]. It’s probably one of the coolest missions I’ve ever seen and an incredibly impressive feat of engineering.

Women's and men's porn works differently; there's long long been an entire genre of "real-person-fics" where actual celebrities or simply notable people are depicted, textually, engaging in sexual acts and emotional intimacy that fits the same bill.

What I'm saying is - Tumblr beat you, and the precise mechanism of AI generated pictures of celebrities seeming to show more women is true, but you'll find a proportional amount if you were to look at where gay men post their porn.
Unfortunately the Windows registry was just poorly designed. Good idea but not necessarily a good implementation.

For Linux I think it's a combination of lack of a widely accepted standard and the difficultly of maintaining things like POSIX support while somehow moving past it's traditional UNIX roots.
