Not OP, but I run, hike, bicycle, ski, backcountry ski, practice yoga, indoor rock climbing, and more in merino wool t-shirts, underwear, and socks.

I find Ibex makes the highest quality tees (their tencel/merino/nylon shirts are incredible for hot summers) and underwear. Icebreaker also makes a variety of good stuff.

I generally look for some amount of nylon for durability, but I have a few 100% merino shirts from icebreaker that I've worn intensively for years with no problems.

I did have some pilling issues with the merino/tencel blend from ibex which is a shame. Gorgeous fabric at first; still feels luxurious.

Laundry is a bigger deal since it's wash cold and dry flat with many of these; that can be a cost, equipment, and/or lifestyle adjustment.

I'm often able to wear the same clothes many days in a row without issue.

For pants, I prefer nylon+elastane blends, but it's hard to find. Prana used to make good things here but their Brion II line was a significant drop in quality.
I wonder if there's ever been research on why some people smell so bad at my gym. Are they smell-blind, or are they acclimated to their own powerful fumes? There's a couple of guys that will trigger your gag reflex from 6 feet away.

Is there any polite way to tell a stranger, "you smell really bad"?
It always boils down to insufficient pay to quality of life ratio relative to other options for the labor seller.
It does have some data balancing elements but if there is a bias it will be seen through the f-1, precision, recall metrics.
Can you elaborate on what "labor rewards" means in the context of

Labor is not the only input to productivity, so there is zero reason labor rewards should match productivity.

i stopped using ALL personal hygiene products except for generic unscented soap over a decade ago. for laundry i use unscented arm and hammer detergent. i used to stink after workouts or stressful workdays but now i basically do not smell at all, ever. confirmed by multiple partners after sexytimes over the years.

as i entered my late 20s i got weird scalp issues and that prompted me to look into it - turns out NOT using the products is what helped.

Eval() in js is not a security hole (at least not in the RCE sense). Eval of arbitrary data from an untrusted source in an environment where “arbitrary execution in the host environment means arbitrary code execution with user privileges” is.

That said arbitrary code execution as part of object deserialization has been a known severe attack vector since the 90s, and the fact that Java still allows it by default without massive restrictions is fairly appalling.
You can be indignant about the weaponization of the ADA by attorneys driven by a profit motive, and still respect the intent of the ADA.

This is difficult to answer without knowing one's background. A fun introduction that's sometimes used in Intro to Philosophy courses is Coffee Meets Philosophy by Bruce Waller [0]. It tries to give the reader context in introducing philosophical problems (frankly the most difficult part of understanding philosophy) alongside primary texts. But it is a little weird!

If you prefer to dive into the deep end a bit, the Contemporary Debates series is excellent. For a given area such as epistemology [1], the books contain original essays for and against various positions. These books will give you a good idea what's going on in an area but can be a little dated.

I love PlantUML. I was always fond of it in my early days as a software engineer and still use it today, along with all the various ways to draw diagrams out there, whether it's through a web tool like draw.io or Miro or through markup like PlantUML and Mermaid.

Some stuff I'd like to share with the rest:

- PlantUML's default style has improved since the days of red/brown borders, pale yellow boxes, drop shadows and such but I've attempted fixing it before through a preset style [I've made before here](https://gist.github.com/jerieljan/4c82515ff5f2b2e4dd5122d354...). It's obsolete nowadays, since I'm sure someone has made a style generator somewhere, and last I checked, PlantUML allows a monochrome style out of the box.

- [Eraser](https://app.eraser.io) is promising, considering that it's trying to blend both diagram-as-code markup along with the usual visual diagram editor. I'm still seeing if it's worth picking up since Miro's hard to beat.

- On an unrelated note, [WikiJS](https://js.wiki/) is a self-hosted wiki that happens to support draw.io, PlantUML and MermaidJS diagrams out of the box. Quite handy to have for your own docs.

- I use Miro nowadays since it's significantly quicker to draw things freeform and to collaborate live with folks on a whiteboard at the cost of having your diagrams in markup, but it's easy to miss the integration that [you can actually import PlantUML](https://help.miro.com/hc/en-us/articles/7004940386578) and Mermaid diagrams in a Miro board too. You can also do edits too, but it's on its own PlantUML section, of course.

I see this as mostly a way to prevent fat finger mistakes on the part of the sysadmin. Most of the tasks that need to be done when interactively logging in don't really require root per se. Why give yourself so much ambient permissions then? If I accidentally issue a command that only root can execute, it is a chance to reflect when repeating the command with sudo and typing the password.

The avocado toast meme is six years old now, and people said the same thing at the time (hence it becoming a meme). It's fair to say "actually I don't have any subscriptions and don't buy daily coffee or go to restaurants/bars (including fast food or pickup) or drink alcohol or smoke or use any other drugs" but complaining that $3/day doesn't add up to a down payment was wrong then and it's still wrong now even after the housing balloon of the last few years. Simple math demonstrates this.

If someone's parents were able to provide a place to live until 18, why is 19 suddenly impossible? You don't need to be well off to let your kids stay with you a little bit past legal adulthood. Surely there's room for a couch or a bean bag or something to give them a huge leg up right out of the gate, assuming you were in a marginal position where you otherwise needed to immediately kick them out and downsize.

Some people are going to have rough situations and can't rely on a family at all. Some will need to emancipate before reaching 18. How common is that? If it is common, that seems like the real problem to address.
So if they only use RSS would you be fine with sponsor block and ad striping and proxy frontends and downloads and not paying?

Because these agencies are horrifically corrupt beyond any usefulness. These agencies could go after any number of human and drug traffickers and make these problems nearly vanish almost overnight because they collect practically all of our communications. But they don't do that. They are used as targeted political cudgels when its handy and when there is much money to be made.
I want a similar warning on any provider that is known to routinely MITM and send data unencrypted across the Internet. As far as I know that would only be sites hosted by Cloudflare and sites using certificates issued by the government of Kazakhstan. There's a difference between screwing up (and I wouldn't be against holding companies liable for that) and wilfully setting up a https:// URL that sends your requests unencrypted over the public Internet.
I also had Comcast do that. It made my Steam (games service) browser un-usable one time. So in commercial contexts HTTPS makes sense.

But there is more to the web than just the commercial, institutional, and the like. Websites that are run by human people without profit motive and without any need to be constrained by the realities of CA TLS exist. The major browsers are all about money these days so they'll prioritize the safety of monetary transactions above user freedoms. But just because this is the right decision for an profit driven company or institution doesn't mean it's the right thing for everyone and should be applied to everyone. In fact doing so will ruin the web.
Rant: If people using Tor have JS disabled, then why does the Tor Project keep pushing "Tor Browser" as one-size-fits-all program for all Tor users. The program is enormous and seems like overkill for something lightweight like text retrieval. (IMO, it should be anticipated that people might use Tor for lightweight tasks on account of the latency.)

I've been experimenting with DuckDuckGo's .onion site. Below is example of how to search the light web over Tor without Tor Browser.

I'm curious .onion sites because it sounds like .onion solves the reachability problem. Anyone could have a website. No requirement for reachable IP address from ISP. No requirement for domain name and hosting subscriptions. No commercial middlemen. (Assuming Tor network operators are true volunteers.) Not every website has to be commercial or reach large scale.

How many choices you have will change a lot depending on your country, but I think there are many constants. Mobile and internet providers tend to collude and align their offering to the other competitors. There must be exceptions, but I can't think of any. On the other side telecom companies getting sued for collusion feels like part of life.

On Qualcomm, as far as I know any mobile phone sold in the west will have a networking chipset from Qualcomm or pay royalties/patents to Qualcomm for using their technology. Apple was trying to do something about it with their switch to Intel chips, but it didn't end well for them (I think they absorbed the Intel cell modem division and might be trying for a second time at some point in the future ?)
This! I'm happy that Emacs isn't the greatest editor or the most-used/-popular; it needn't compete with say VSCode or vim.

There's a decent, loyal user base, importantly not the free-loading, entitled kind who water it down; they're like-minded, appreciate the philosophy behind it, don't mind tinkering with some LISP here and there, contribute their creations as answers or packages, and above all form a nice community helping each other.
It sounds like you're primarily using preemptible TPU quota, which doesn't come with any availability or uptime expectations at all.

By default, the TRC program grants both on-demand quota and preemptible quota. If you are able to create a TPU VM with your on-demand quota, it should last quite a bit longer than a few hours. (There are situations in which on-demand TRC TPU VMs can be interrupted, but these ought to be rare.) If your on-demand TPU VMs are being interrupted frequently, please email TRC support and provide the names of the TPU hosts that were interrupted so folks can try to help.

When there is very high demand for Cloud TPUs, it's certainly possible for preemptible TPU VMs to be interrupted frequently. It would be an interesting engineering project to make a very robust training system that could make progress even with low TPU VM uptime, and I hope someone does it! Until then, though, you should have a better experience with on-demand resources when you're able to create them. Reserved capacity is even better since it provides an expectation of both availability and uptime.
A whole virus worth of mRNA would be a lot of mRNA (though, a prion wouldn't be) and I think we'd notice it happening.

In principle, I agree with you. In practice, that particular piece of legislation looks to strive to get balance between privacy and a democracy defending itself against destabilising influences (like say tax evasion, importing weapons, and terrorism) right. But it fails spectacularly at it in one area: sunlight.

I'm sure it was written by and for the Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA's), and it boils down to letting them see anyone's activities should it be deemed important enough. Everyone that is, except them. The bill says the can force computer companies to help them, and when they do an automatic gag order applies, forever. Reporting on how much it is used is limited to a count, supplied years after the use has occurred.

> You don't think the government can be trusted? So what, we live in a society.

Yep. So do Russians and the Chinese. This demand by the LEA's that be allowed to their stuff without the society they are supposedly serving knowing has a very authoritarian overtone, more reminiscent of them than us. "We know what's best for you - so it's safer you don't know". It seems it's the LEA's in the Five Eyes nations think they should be allowed to operate.

The terrible performance you remember is from slow hard drives and just a couple megabytes of RAM. Retro computing enthusiasts today have win 95 running on solid state flash disks and 32 megabytes of memory and it flies.
...but progress was slower. Exponential growth means it grows faster now than it did then.

And yes, relative poverty matters greatly, but absolute poverty is a real thing even in the US. In 1964, the US launched the war on poverty, and poverty declined. Since the 1980s, some of that progress was reversed, but it's still far better than 1964. (And poverty now is relative, and includes very little literal starvation. That certainly wasn't true in the US in 1964, much less earlier - especially before WWII.
They could at least try to include white people in places where there is more sunlight, both my mom and my wife are white (my mom would likely be at home at a Nordic country, her family is full of redheads) and they both developed melanoma in northeastern Brazil, albeit they were found out quickly and did not cause much trouble.

Not even trying to consider the confounding variables is really sad.

Show HN: Openexus – Building blocks for the internet
Hi HN! We are thrilled to share a sneak peek of https://openexus.com after months of work. You can try out the cool demos on the front page!

The idea is to build a platform and community for composable building blocks where anyone can easily create, find and connect different modules to create dynamic and interactive apps, sites, dashboards, and docs. This can be done without using a single line of code.

Key principles of what we are building:

1) True composability that enables infinite possibilities — Modules today are either too complex to be used only by developers (e.g. NPM packages) or too simplistic where they are usually used as an embed in isolation. We are establishing a modularization foundation that is powerful enough for developers to express functionalities, simple enough for anyone (even kids) to use, and flexible enough to build sophisticated creations.

2) Smart connect without code — All logic can be clearly expressed by simply drawing lines. Depending on the data type and other characteristics of the connector, we can figure out how the connection should behave. For example, triggers can only be connected to actions, and data connectors that fetch from APIs can be defined as directional read-only connectors.

3) Open-connections for instant forking — Forking today is a time-consuming complex endeavor. Even a simple change requires many layers of code understanding. Instead of open-source code, we see a future of open-source connections, where remixing simply means adding new blocks and re-wiring them.

What we are building can be described as NPM for non-developers, connectable Lego blocks for the Internet, or Minecraft for non-game creations. Our focus is to create a community where we can share ideas and innovations.

We are super excited about the possibilities of this platform, especially when we incorporate AI. We will be releasing tutorials, opening up the playground, and sending out invites in the coming weeks. If you are eager to try out our tooling and create your own building blocks, drop us an email! We would love to hear your feedback!

I mean... People say this, as if no one knows where the money is, and we've tried everything. When in fact, everyone knows where the money is, and we've tried very little in the ways of actually taxing rich people.

I have no doubt that if we actually raised taxation rates (Corporate Stock Grants is an easy one that everyone on here will pretend is impossible), corporations, and rich folks would start paying more in taxes. Maybe they would still dodge, but until we actually start doing something saying "nothing will work" is like saying "there's no way to hammer a nail all the way into a board" when you haven't actually hit the nail with the hammer.

Edit: Of course it's un uphill battle if you've done nothing. Everything is an uphill battle when you're not doing anything about it.
Python is not a language for writing fast code. Python is a relaxed language for things that don’t have to be fast. If you need something to be fast you are supposed to use a C extension and control it with Python - that’s been the dogma for as long as I can remember to avoid exactly this kind of pathological race to performance in a language that was never designed for it.

By using Python you are already leaving a ton of performance on the table in single-threaded code compared to a fast, compiled language.
Personally I don't write portable shell scripts. They exist only for my own usage on my desktop. If we rely on any kind of script for deployment purposes at work, we use the scripting lang in the build system or a python script
I don't think it was a modern BSL-4 standard lab, but smallpox escaped and killed someone in the UK. Now (at least in theory) only the US and Russia have samples in special government BSL-4 labs. Other countries could make it from sequence though.

Edit: I can't reply, so I'll say that an extinct horsepox virus was recreated from sequence, the same procedure in theory should work on smallpox

Speech in this context means an expression of ideas, wether literal speech, or a newspaper article, or...
Yes. The main problems are dynamic frequency scaling, because it changes the rate instructions are processed, preemptive multitasking, which can potentially destroy various caches in the middle of your code, and hyperthreading, where the processor can switch between executing two different things.

I hear you. The only way I could get around trying to learn Emacs was to stop and actually use it as my daily driver (making a pact with myself not to use another editor for 15 days). Given "normal" editor keys (CUE) work out of the box in Emacs, this wasn't hard.

I don't think I'm moving the goal posts, just addressing points as you introduce them to the conversation.

To be honest, I don't really understand your position. It seemed like you were claiming that Society has already decided what's best and now you say that the will of the people be damned. Who is the 'we' that knows what's best and how do you contrast that with the will of the people.

>We have very good, very fleshed out reasoned arguments about what would be best for most people.

>If it is agreed that there are universal human rights and country specific rights
which is something already agreed upon by society

The only way that I can make sense of it is that the 'we' you talk about is simply people that hold your belief system. It seems like you're saying that a competent government would simply do what you want and steamroll anyone who doesn't agree with you.

I get that the idea of a tyrannical government that supports your personal views sounds attractive. You might even think you know what's best for other people. The conceit with this approach is that you don't actually know what other people want, just what you want.
