Crucial early-warning listserv for tracking disease outbreaks is in danger
I regularly hear music in UPS vans, and they always seem to be happy that they have music. Their vans are dirt brown which does notably reduce the cleaning burden.y apartment complex regularly has one road out front blocked all day long by private delivery cars, commercial delivery drivers of every sort, police cars, and people double-parked to use the ATM. UPS and Amazon show up at different times, and stay for the same length of time.

However, you’re still seeing something valid, but I want to call it out plainly: Amazon contracts delivery to the lowest bidder in each region, exactly the same as FedEx Ground (formerly RPS) does. The variability you describe in Amazon drivers and vans stems directly from Amazon trying to be “hands off” enough to not get them all labeled employees; whereas UPS just employs them, with a resulting degree of consistency in appearances and behavior that Amazon cannot match.

But .. music? They all listen to music.
Yeah, I'm so used to seeing skeuomorphism used in terms of UI design that this felt a bit jarring to read.

Makes perfect sense, of course. The word just means imitating the design of something made of a different material.
Ask HN: Why didn't D-lang take off like Rust?
Seems like a great language that was created out of essentially the same need. What gives?
Well, at least you got the notice.

I was in the same situation at my parents' house. Three people in the house, loud doorbell, my mom doing whatever in the garden. UPS says no-one was home and they left a notice. Didn't leave anything.

And unless they had an electric truck or something similarly quiet, they didn't even drive down the street.

To the other commenter's point up the thread, I've never had such an experience with deliveries made by Amazon.

I live in an apartment, and if I have a bigger item that won't fit in the mailbox, only Amazon will call me up to see if they can deliver it in hand. They usually call anyway instead of defaulting to the mailbox, but not always. Other delivery services will never call, just leave a slip in the mailbox, if that.
Do you mean the cross body sling or the cross body shoulder bag? There's no "purse" sold by Ethnotek.
Rewriting a comment after somebody has already responded is very rude. Now your comment is differently wrong, but I'm sure not going to bother with it or you given that you may just keep rewriting the thing I'm responding to.
Because if you know you need a third value from the logs with ID NNN then you would always receive the third value from NNN message and nothing else. And no regex and locales shenanigans.
Thanks! Design is definitely not my strong suit but there are active efforts to improve it.

Ford's famous pay was actually tied to a crazy and intrusive set of requirements that employees were to adhere to. Most employees were not part of the program.

To the extent that Ford helped propel the middle class, it was his ruthless and often illogical chase to the lowest possible cost.
I think the record is pretty good for banks switching behaviour after being fined for a specific failing. They do know that if they get caught doing the exact same thing again, the punishment will be more costly.

It's far cheaper (and more deniable) to find a slightly different way round the regulations, see if/when you get fined for that, then move on to something else again...
>>The world would be a much worse place without agreed upon standards.

Yes "Standards" where they big player dictates to everyone else how they must do things.. Of course they hide it in a "standards organization" like how W3C is functionally a decision of Google at the point, but we do have "web standards" which are what ever google says

Or how Microsoft more or less forced out OpenXML with Open Office XML which is anything but open...

I could list 100's of examples

GNU is not an ecosystem (see <https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.en.html#Ecosys...>), it's a philosophy.

Yes, it's old. Yes, there's only little interest. Yes, there are _still_ many technical problems.

The interesting thing here is that technical problems can be solved, and will be solved given enough time. Heck, I've heard rumors that even Windows does not crash multiple times a day anymore.

Focussing and working on what is popular will most likely create a world that is less free every year. Some people rather work on something that seems right and promises a better, freer future. Even if it's not popular (right now), even if it has a high probability of failure.

Popularity is a very volatile property...

I guess we just have different time horizons of what counts are historical, since Medicare is ~3x my age.

Then attempting to enforce antitrust laws is likewise a waste of time.
There are no crimes being committed, they've not been taken to court, judge against the US criminal code, and found guilty, after which the punitive damages are what they get fined. They merely violated the law, and were fined over that. The entire amount charged was the fine.

As for "who cares about %": every one who understands that fines that cost a company nothing, do nothing, all they say is "it'll cost you a trivial amount more to do this", turning what should be an instrument to rein in companies into simple monetary transaction that just goes on the books as an entirely expected and affordable expense.

It should be a crime, and they should have been found guilty in court over that, and the fine should be such that no matter your company's size, you can't risk running afoul of the law repeatedly. But it absolutely isn't.
I'm sure you're aware of https://www.sleepio.com (I followed their program a few years back). They use the same (similar?) CBT approach and I do think it helped but was far from a silver bullet.

Does Stellar Sleep delve into sleep hygiene? Are "edge cases" considered e.g. some people report no difference with cutting caffeine (as mentioned) but others cut caffeine and instantly their insomnia is cured and their lives change.
okay, voters don’t have control of their representatives and nobody has floated a constitutional amendment
I read a decent bit on here the other day about a good use for ai with copilot.

It was loading up data sheets and being able to query them.

I.e. what’s the power draw at full load of x or y chip at ambient temperature for this board or component.

It would give you the answer along with a citation to the datasheet.

I think a lot more of the ai systems need to give real, linkable citations.
Same here, just last week. He politely told me that he could hand it to me, but then I'd need to sign for it. If he put it on the front step, he could just take a picture.

I opted to just let him continue his normal routine. Undoubtedly faster than doing a one-off signature because I happened to be standing out in front of my house.
Thumbs up for courage to even mention Jordan Peterson. As he is extremely unpopular on HN.
Yeah, even in single player today. Can't let the idea having fun in a game or having control over a game spoil the statistics of "achievements" for the Achiever players anymore. (Sigh.)
When Stannis didn't maintain his supply lines, but he was the only experienced general, I was like:

Wtf this is nonsense. I'm not even a general, and I know to maintain my supply lines.

I lost a lot of interest after that happened. Seemed quite nonsensical.

I've been using linux since 1992, and find 'ip' far far easier to use for unexpected situations than memorising the bizarre ifconfig incantations.
Do you mean unsigned branches? JB/JBE/JA/JAE instead of JL/JLE/JG/JGE? Are there actually code patterns where it's preferable to just JE/JNE? AFAIK, computing a pointer outside of the underlying array's boundaries (except for computing the one-past-the-last-element pointer) is UB so e.g.

for (SomeStruct * curr = p, * end = &p[N]; curr < end; curr += 2) {
// processing the pair of curr[0] and curr[1], with care
// in case when curr[1] doesn't exist
}

is an invalid optimization of

for (SomeStruct * curr = p, * end = &p[N]; curr != end; ) {
// processing the pair of curr[0] and curr[1], with care
// in case when curr[1] doesn't exist

if (++curr != end) { ++curr; }
}
All of the above is an automatic journald feature. If it logs to syslog, or it's a systemd unit that logs to stderr, journald will automatically add various fields like the PID, and log timestamps with microsecond precision.

Logging natively with journald allows you to add custom fields on top.
The story itself is quite tragic, and indeed everything you say is true.

However, that doesn’t change the fact that the warning label “CAUTION: Contents hot” on a paper cup is indeed pretty useless and likely exists as a result of this lawsuit — not because it will actually keep anyone from burning themselves (for that goal, you’d want it to say some variant of “our coffee is much hotter than what you make at home”), but because a bunch of lawyers thought it would make for an easier defense next time.

That’s the root cause right there.
In the original video he flipped it 360 degrees off the center of the magnet yet it kept the angle it was pointed at. Wouldn't a ferromagnet want to stay orientated with the field of the magnet and flip the other direction when rotated?
This is another good case for security-by-minimisation. I struggle to see why NI numbers were required on the electoral register — particularly when democracy in the UK had been functioning for over a century without them.

The best way to ensure valuable data doesn’t leak into the public realm is to minimise the amount of unnecessary data collection.
It does. CTRL+T, CTRL+Shift+T, CTRL+L all work. FF mobile doesn't have Dev tools, but Kiwi, a Chromium fork browser, does, so CTRL+Shift+I will bring it up.
"room-temp semiconductors in 2023 were just small blocks of stuff levitating atop magnets without needing to be cooled. XYZ really did manage to produce them into useful shapes that still remain superconductive when you push more than 0.00001 amps through them"
No. How would you justify this? If you want to dress "better" knock yourself out. Don't force your aesthetics on others.
Not just any elf-children, but children of the Noldor. And not just any Noldor, but the scene implies that many of them are from the House of Fëanor. Who are the biggest assholes in the history of Middle-earth. The Silmarillion is largely a story of that.

The series has many issues, but the showrunners not understanding the works of Tolkien is not one of them. Many of the issues arise from the main premise of the series. Like with many recent big-budget adaptations, the showrunners are retelling the story from the perspective of a subset of 21st century Americans. If you are not in the target audience, many things may feel off.

Also, it's good to remember that big-budget adaptations usually fail. Any story worth adapting is likely exceptional. Because you are retelling the story in a new format, you usually have to change many things. But the new things you create are unlikely to be exceptional, because exceptional things are rare.
You give an "average rating" of 4.8 with "500+ five star reviews", but Apple says 4.5 with 173 total ratings, and Android says 4.3 with 205 total ratings. Which sure makes it look like your average is not 4.8, nor have you received 500+ ratings at all, let alone 500+ five star ratings.
I have the same thoughts. I think it's because they are not EEs and want to play with the material. A sensing resistor is trivial.
