You have to go really overboard with vitamin D3 to take too much of it. The daily recommendations so far are underestimating it. 4000 IU should be fine for adults. There are people that take 6000-10000 IU, but it's hard to say whether they might be suffering from some long term effects due to this.

You should take vitamin K2 with D3 though.

>But if you can be in the sun your skin can make vitamin D.

This is harder than people say. You need UVB light to hit your uncovered skin (glass blocks it entirely). The sun needs to be above 35-50 degrees in the sky. If it's below that (like in winter or evenings) then you won't get vitamin D from it.
> That’s just you defining reasonable though.

I would say it is reasonable, period, per the dictionary definition. People can redefine words as they like, it doesn't mean anything.

It's not subjective when we are using objective standards and theory to produce a result with the goal of objectively leading to better quality of life for everyone.

If the only subjectivity that comes in is because people can define reasonable I don't think that makes it subjective at all.

Corporate media talks 50% about their corporate interests and 50% about "the workers" in an unconvincing way for the appearance of balance. So this is perfect for the kind of artificial antagonism that is supposed to be created by the central banks and govt as the article suggests.
> for Linux

Linux is a kernel and does have a graphical interface. This theme is for XFCE, one of the many "desktop environments" that can run on the Linux kernel.

Other being: Gnome, Plasma (KDE), LXQt, and many more.

To make it more interesting, XFCE also runs on FreeBSD (another open source kernel/OS).
I don’t think it’s fair to knock a language on rate of popularity, unless your point is community adoption.

That being said, I agree with everything else you said lol.

All the “elegance” in the article just reminded me of what you can achieve using Linq, or pythons list comprehension (which I personally don’t care for).

I used to get excited about one-liners, but if that’s what elegance is, elegance is not important to me. Are you gaining efficiency or playing code golf?

If there’s anything dev jobs have taught me it’s that readability is whats most important. You can keep your fancy lambdas etc.

Those things have their place but it’s not a crime to write a for loop with local variables.

Unless what you’re doing is as simple as a single statement, a mapping or printing something, One liner loops are not as productive or efficient. when you have multiple statements, you’re often just calling multiple loops. And don’t forget the extra time you have to spend to get the damn thing to work, as opposed to a classic for loop.

All of this fits in around 500 lones of copy_paste/cloneable emacs configuration, most of which is use-package declarations. Nary a defun or global-bind-key in sight, and because emacs is a full elisp ide, and it is actually executable code, it's debuggable on launch, unlike myriads of json files.

I'm trying to think of anything else that can possibly be interpreted as 'modern' from a ux standpoint. I certainly can't think of a feature that Intellij has that emacs doesn't that is core to the ide experience. And most of my emacs tools are better than the vscode version of them, at least in terms of invasion into the editor buffer or integration with the editor ux.

The one thing that's not modern is the standard copy and paste commands, but that's super easy to customize. I guess you can't drag and drop buffer frame borders in multiple buffer layouts if you hide scrollbars, and the message buffer isn't resizable...

The max-unused percentage feature is well worth it to 80/20 the prune process and only prune the data which is easiest to prune away (i.e. not try to remove small files big packs but focus on packs which have lots of garbage).

In general, there's an unavoidable trade-off between creating many small packs (harder on metadata throughout the system, inside restic and on the backing store but more efficient to prune) versus creating big packs which are more easy on the metadata but might create big repack cost.

I guess a bit more intelligent repacking could avoid some of that cost by packing stuff together that might be more likely to get pruned together.
Especially in post-apocalyptic environment, LLMs or other AI is better than good old grey matter, how?

Our world's supply chains are fragile. And chaos results from disrupting those. Enough disruption of supply chains = some-form-of-apocalypse all by itself. This goes for low-tech stuff like food or fuel, as well as for high(er) tech stuff.

You can pick any macroeconomy textbook and you'll see it written plainly that raising quickly the monetary supply leads to inflation.

I think this comment highlights why cyberpunk has fallen by the wayside.

Even in the 80s, the mainstream culture didn’t understand what cyberpunk (or even punk) represented. Now? probably less so.

Cyberpunk chose not to endorse the oppressive system and it’s heroes were not just self reliant but collaborative. The aesthetic said “your cultural ‘ideals’ are not ours. Keep your distance (because that means we are bothered less by you)”. (Cyber)punk is only counter-culture because of the prevalence of the culture around it. Otherwise it would just be an alternate culture on it’s own.

The reason they were labelled “low lives” or criminals is due to the fact that that culture still had to operate within the bounds of western capitalism.

As a thought experiment to everyone (though will this land if you don’t at least have second-hand knowledge of the existing societal problems? I’m not sure): If you choose not to participate in the credit system and don’t already have money, where do you sleep without being called a criminal or a vagrant? How do you feed yourself without having access to tillable land? How do you communicate with others to expand ideas and share resources?

Musicians need to force Spotify to raise its price to consumers substantially, or if that can't happen, then frankly, they need to drive Spotify out of business. As I said, this is an existential risk for recording artists, so it may be a choice between Spotify going out of business or recording artists going out of business.

Streaming services are too cheap. The price of buying one album is approximately $10, but for the same price a consumer can get practically every album in the world for a month on Spotify. That's not sustainable for musicians. Their music is being given away for peanuts. It's a race to the bottom, and it has to stop. It's not a matter of how to divide up Spotify's pie, because Spotify is only a mini-pie, and that's not enough to feed everyone. They need to bake a bigger pie.

It was never clear that Spotify and Apple Music were in the interest of the music industry. And you can see in the film and TV industry that the studios are pulling their content from Netflix and moving it in-house, which forces Netflix to produce their own content. Spotify and Netflix were clever in taking advantage of cheap content, and the industry was slow to react, but now there needs to be a counter-reaction to the fleecing of artists.

Chatgpt loves lists like this, then length and "tone" can be the most obvious indicators. You can modify those attributes through prompting but that should help find unmodified output
I think this is closer to the truth. The problem is rarely "outdated regulation" (although that's what the organizations that build these systems will say) and more that there's so many cooks it becomes impossible to build anything worth anything. Everybody has an opinion about their little corner of the system, and no one is willing to understand anyone else's opinion. If you bring up some fundamental disconnect between the wants of different stakeholders they point to the current system and say "It works there", and ignore the fact that it doesn't actually work.

It's a problem of too many unfounded opinions, and too little actual engineering.
It's big, it's complicated, and nobody wants to write all the necessary but mind-numbingly boring interfaces to a thousand older devices and systems to make the glue unless they're being paid well to do it.

For all that CPRS - the old VA EMR, paid for by the federal government and thus openly available - got a lot of flak from all angles, not least of which was IT (the whole thing is written in MUMPS and the CLI underneath the GUI could be charitably described as "arcane"), it was a fairly easy EMR to "get", and once you learned how to filter things, you could at least see everything going on.

With Epic, Cerner, and the others, you don't. You have a silo'ed role. Early on in our Epic migration, I discovered that I had been misclassified by the system. I was a doctor, yes, but I had a range of options open to me that were appropriate for an ICU doctor, not an anesthesiologist - I simply couldn't do a lot of things that were my bread and butter. Finding information outside your normal specialty is difficult and requires a very precise set of clicks (which are not in any way intuitive) to get to the information you want. I stunned one of the cardiac surgeons by showing him how to get access to the OR status board (which he had, just not as simply as we do) and how to customize it to show him everything going on in every cardiovascular surgery room and in the cardiac catheterization lab. Now, when a cardiologist calls him to say "I'd like to consult you about the patient I just did a cath on, think he needs bypass surgery instead of stents", he can skip getting a medical record number and just open the chart directly from the list.

I can't read nursing notes. I've tried, and I know the information is there somewhere, but unless I've been given access to a flowsheet that shows it (and that is another obscure thing), I can't see it. Labor and delivery nurses don't have access to anesthesia records, so they can't see what medications their patient got during a C-section, and end up having to call one of us to tell them precisely what was given and when. Most surgeons don't know how to look at the anesthesia records (it's not easy) for their own cases, let alone their partners' (when covering call), so again - they have to call us to ask. I had to open up one for the head of the peer review committee to show her what had happened in the operating room after a patient death.

There are always going to be privacy concerns, but these systems all have aliasing ability, and in any case retail-level, one-by-one accessing of sensitive people's info is going to raise a lot more flags than data breaches involving millions. Not letting me see what went on before, during, and after for a patient I have to care for is far worse.

That reminds me of a noticeable difference in button UI wording traditions between Spanish and Catalan where the original English uses verbs, for instance Open, Edit, Save and Delete.

Specifically, Spanish translations interpret these as representing an impersonal description of the action, and thus the buttons are labelled using the infinitive: Abrir, Editar, Guardar and Borrar. Catalan versions, on the other hand, have interpreted the verbs as instructions aimed at the computer, and translate them in the imperative: Obre, Edita, Desa and Esborra.
> I think it's very hard to run a service by yourself of this magnitude reliably, but I'd always take a 99.9% availability daily backup service that runs right at SLO over one that's down for a day once in a blue moon.

That's a fallacy right there. Your assumption should be that any service you rely on will be down once in a blue moon, and possibly for a day or even longer.

> Also, parent is talking about ingestion. If your backups aren't configured well and the backup process fails, then your backup may not end up durable.

Yes, indeed, you need to do your work and you don't get to point at others for not doing it right.

> I also don't think your definition of reliable is generally recognized, which I'd generally call durability.

Reliability, durability and availability are all industry terms and have very clear definitions. These are not the same definitions that you would use in ordinary conversation with laypeople but when we're talking shop those are definitely allowed.

> I wouldn't say the scenario above is a durability failure, but an example of the consequences of poor availability.

No, it is a consequence of poor engineering on the part of the user of the service, and is a completely different issue. You engineer your service to ensure that your assumptions hold true and if you fail at doing that your service will fail. When is then only a matter of time and combination of circumstances, but fail it will.
I agree. I think Windows XP is where the windows UI peaked.
No. I already said it's probably not for you. If you need lowest price per GB and don't care about anything else including your time or customer support then nothing beats a bunch of google accs with free drive tier. No price is better than zero

But for me tarsnap is convenient as extra offsite backup for valuable stuff. Price per GB is not the only factor and different people have different priorities.
Campaign for a medical exemption + import bulbs from abroad in the meantime. I'd probably campaign with a two-pronged strategy of 'don't discriminate against people with health issues' and 'don't make businesses take a hit of more employee sick-time/lack of productivity due to employees with migraines being sick because of Government Overreach'.

And stock up on triptans. I have pressure and hormonal migraines, so suffering is my only option and it sucks.
Millions of people do it every day and their efforts often bear fruit, so a lot of people do! This feels like a very cynical, hand wavy response.

Well ofc and I know some elisp but I take it integrating libjxl (now using the "new BSD license") or another library supporting jxl is one of those things requiring C guru skills. And it's been a really long time I haven't written a line of C code.

Moreover I take it that, say, for someone who added WEBP support to Emacs, adding JPEG XL would be kinda a no-brainer.

Walking doesn't help me for 8 months of the year: There simply isn't strong enough sun to help. December days are only 4-5 hours long anyway. So, I was told to take a supplement from September to May.

My doctor told me to get 15 minutes a day from May through the end of August - and these should be walks with at least the arms exposed (Am in Norway, so this isn't always possible for me, the immigrant). Walking alone isn't always enough.
Correct. People in these EU countries never understand how large the US is. it has the 3rd highest population but is almost 10 times less dense than Japan, 9 times less dense than the UK. There's so much dang land here. And until modern industrialism so much of it sucks to build a proper community around. mountainous, extreme weather, disaster prone, simply infertile. Much of western US doesn't have hundreds of miles of view into the horizon; you're going to get cut off maybe 5, 10 miles off by some mountain (or you live in a valley). It's very hard to "just build denser cities" in the same way the EU could.

That's what makes China really impressive (losgistically speaking). it's really large AND very dense population wise (I don't know about the land quality).
It's not just hypocrisy. Many of the HNers railing against this are actually responsible, even if just indirectly, for it. Take Chrome (including Chromium) use, for example. Chrome has never been that much better (e.g. 2-3x) than FF. Maybe at its best, when it first debuted and V8 wowed everyone, it was 20-30% better--not enough to justify the investment a poweruser (who heavily customizes their browser) would have to make to jump ship, and not enough for anyone concerned about the open web. Yet I would guess most people here jumped ship at some point (probably when it was new and shinny and Google still paid lip service to "don't be evil"), and they've never looked back, despite FF having caught up and remaining competitive.

Asking people to not use Chrome isn't asking much, and yet people here can't even manage that.
Links are edges. When there are URL links, there are better edges that cost less to find than NLP tasks like conceptual entity recognition.

Because I've added edges from hn_uri to wikipedia_uris; I, others, and search engines could discover the hn_uris relevant to the concept URIs (by graph pattern search)

W3C SPARQL is a graph pattern query language. Some triple graph patterns enabled by there being links in the comments here in HN:

?s ?p ?o.

?s linksTo ?o.

?s linksTo <wikipedia_uri> .

Also, recently, for example, because I linked to "methane" on Wikipedia unnecessarily, and then checked the "See also" section, and then saw the "Global Methane Initiative" page, I realized that there was an opportunity to forward the latest methane emissions tech to GMI (which I learned about by reading comparatively mundane background information from Wikipedia, which has Concept URIs which are reused by DBpedia which contributes to the Linked Open Data cloud for indeed what returns)
