While I am not an expert in the details, this seems aligned with HIPAA to me at a high level in the following sense. While HIPAA got marketed as protecting medical data (privacy), it really was intended make medical data shareable (portability). Think of it like a trojan horse: get this in with that. Or, a misdirection: look over here, while some other thing happens. Therefore, automatic Zoom transcripts of tele-health appointments are remarkably well-aligned with the intent of HIPAA.

Think how much more sharable and more complete digital medical records can be now. (And the breakthroughs that may come of it! Etc., etc.)

To wit, "As much as there's a law, HIPAA supposed to prevent people from revealing your medical data, suppose to be protected, which is completely false. 20% of the population works in health care. That 20% of pop can see the med data. the med data you are not ware of is being sent to insurance companies, forwarded to government health info exchanges...." - Rob Braxman Tech, "Live - Rant!

I have an older "convection" wall oven which I think probably has something like a $10 fan added to a regular oven BOM. From what I can tell if you put the item to be cooked on a cooling rack set in a baking tray, you have something close enough to an air fryer to be no different. Of course, people in small apartments have had toaster ovens forever so maybe an air fryer is just the modern replacement for that.

Getting those messages is very different (and a lot more reasonable) from forceful restarting them, which was the initial suggestion.

The restarting risk is normally so small, that there are several other things that are more important than constantly restarting to test that restart works. Continuous delivery, security patching and hardware failure will likely cause enough restarts anyway.

What joke, insecure managers. Heck every company which has international offices is remote but with localised offices just to access servers across the continent once again.
When GPG is your ssh agent, you can use RSA or ed25519 keys stored on a smartcard (like a Yubikey) to authenticate via SSH.

It's generally preferable to use a `-sk` key type, though, by which the remote server can essentially enforce that you're using a smartcard and not a normal keypair backed by a file.

> I think I spend more like $3000/yr for quite a nice car.

You are lucky! Currently the average cost of a new car is ~$48k. Not including fuel, if I priced out a car to around $40k and took a loan at 5% interest for five years. I would already be looking at about $10k a year. Add in insurance, fuel, excise tax, registration, inspection, etc. it would go up to ~$13k for the first 5 years.

My fifteen year old car costs about $6,000 for me this year (with repairs, oil changes, and fuel costs, insurance, etc.). If I lived in an urban environment with good transit like NYC it would cost me about $2k-$3k a year in commuter costs if I traveled by bus and subway every day round trip.
No, the idea is that the same researcher should produce k papers and n replications, instead of just k + n published papers.

I'd argue that since replication is somehow faster than original research, the requirement would count a replication somewhat lower than an original paper (say, at 0.75).

This is the normal story for someone who claims to suffer from MSG sensitivity. People claim they experience the most extraordinary symptoms, with perfect specificity and reproducibility. Perhaps they experienced symptoms after eating a meal and only learned after the fact that it contained MSG. Perhaps, upon learning that Parmesan cheese and tomatoes contain MSG, they remembered that Italian food had always made them sick. Perhaps they tested their symptoms in a poorly-designed experiment. All of this is expected even if the condition is psychosomatic.

Your wife is part of a large minority that tells stories like these, yet we have proven that at most a tiny minority can have a physical condition. The majority of people with self-reported MSG sensitivity cannot demonstrate it in a laboratory. These symptoms are curiously unheard of in Asia. The huge majority of people who claim MSG sensitivity are wrong.

Maybe your wife is the rare on who is right. Science can't easily prove that MSG sensitivity doesn't exist. But she is making an extraordinary claim with only ordinary evidence.

i think it's an interesting question. to me, i actually don't mind being available for a bigger portion of the day because it has come with a lowered total amount of time doing work. i generally enjoy my job so i am a fan of the blend -- I'll wake up, do an hour of work, go to the gym, come back and do another few hours, go run an errand and make lunch, some more work, then maybe meet up with friends and finish up some stuff before bed. i find this to be a win win, I'm available for my coworkers across maybe 12 hours instead of a strict 8 but in total i work less than when I was going into the office

I was thinking more about what happens if you’re combining already-written code that uses different naming conventions, or even different types. Suppose you get an error in one format and want to pass it on in a different format?

Writing a converter probably isn’t so hard, but it’s tedious, like having multiple kinds of strings.

But it’s probably too soon to worry about that when Zig doesn’t have a package manager yet.

There are definitely cases where I've seen elves ripped off so thoroughly that it was clear the author put zero thought into them as a race/species, lifting them straight out of Rivendel. That's obviously not cool.

However, I don't think most instances of elves as Tall Fair Folk hit that bar of being straight-up lifted. I don't see very many instances of "names, culture, historical features" being taken from Middle Earth, and that would OBVIOUSLY be unacceptable.

> I'm pretty sure the IP law is settled on that matter, isn't it?

Yeah, it sure is! The owners of the Tolkien empire are quite active about pursuing litigation against those who infringe upon their rights. They even win a lot of cases! However, I've yet to hear of a storm of litigation sweeping through the fantasy writing industry involving them going after theft of species in peoples' stories. I'd be super, super interested to see some cases where this has happened, if you believe it's been settled some other way.
I don't think Substack counts as "hosting [your] blogs independently".

> Are there any companies doing this for Videos as well?

There were a few; Vimeo, Dailymotion, Floatplane, Nebula... they all suffered the same fate though.

It's not hard to see why, either. Transcoding video is expensive. To deliver a YouTube-like experience you have to be certain that each user will be profitable somehow, something that is easy with ads but hard with any other model.

How is it "concern trolling" to point out that Mozilla is kept alive by Google and unable to allocate funds appropriately? I am a Firefox user and I want Mozilla do be serious competition against Google.

The concerns are legitimate and ofen raised by people who genuinely want Mozilla to be better. Accusing people of concern trolling when they point out legitimate issues is a sure way to never get these issues fixed.

>Similar to wind power, I'd guess their continued success in the face of this contributes to the feelings of anger towards them.

This is such an abysmal mindset. Both Mozilla and Wikipedia should operate with the goal of improving their product. Both are severely mismanaging funds away from the things people actually care about. The only things they really are successful in is raising funds.

Success for Mozilla is having a popular, open, sustainably funded and independent browser. In this regard they are a failure, but I absolutely don't want them to be.

Wikipedia is just trolling suckers into giving them money by pretending they are about to go under, when they are extremely well funded, so much so that huge amounts of funds vanish into undisclosed webs of charities.
Your analysis seems to portray all scientists as pure hearted. May I remind you of the latest Stanford scandal where the president of Stanford was found to have manipulated data?

Today, publications do not serve the same purpose as they did before the internet. It is trivial today to write a convincing paper without research and getting that published(www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/10/new-sokal-hoax/572212/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjnp5mRtsiAAxVwF1kFHesBDC8QFnoECAkQAg&usg=AOvVaw0t_Bo31BrT5D9zHBdmNAqi).
Well there is GDP PPP and nominal and metrics never changed. China has surpassed U.S. in PPP GDP around 2017 and might at some far away future point around it's historical peak (10-20 years away), get up to 2x the U.S. level, but it might never reach U.S. nominal level (currently 67% of it), or if it does, only briefly and marginally so.

None of those metrics has "changed". It's just two different ways of measuring it: PPP defines intrinsic economic power/amount of goods consumed, nominal defines power on world markets/purchasing ability. We produce and consume in national prices that are different (and PPP factor corrects for that difference), but we trade in nominal dollars.

AFAIK BBRv2 never made it into the mainline kernel. I've seen some people manually building and performance testing it. Curious what kernel branch/version will pick up v3 first given v1 has been deprecated according to the article. I've only personally used it on file sharing servers and have stuck with CDG CAIA Delay-Gradient for all my other hobby nodes and home routers/firewalls/dns/chat servers.
I just like how everyone is up in arms over the use of your meetings for AI training specifically, when the ToS clearly says all "Customer Content/Customer Input" AKA your words, text, voice, face, etc can be used for "Product and Services Development" which could as easily be a facial recognition database, a corporate espionage service, a direct competitor to whatever company you work for, or literally anything else before it's an AI lol.
In Russia you have to convert 25-30% of your earnings nominated in foreign currencies (it was 50-80% in 2022, but got relaxed since then) and you do it on a somewhat open market. IIUC in China the requirement is much stricter and the exchange rate is effectively pegged against USD.
People in France will happily hop the TGV and be in Marseille (or Amsterdam... using the Thalys) a few hours later. Similar connections exist in and between other EU countries, for instance, Germany with the ICE. In the United States, almost without exception anything like that would be an airplane trip. And maybe it's me but I don't see aircraft as 'public transport', though I guess you could lump them in by some definition.

So even if you zoom out from let's say NL to all of Europe and you compare Europe with the United States you still end up with a difference in how public transport is arranged. There simply isn't a nearly empty heartland.
Ah, I stand entirely corrected - cute framing!
Why do you want to build it yourself? If the goal is to learn something, then it is probably better to simply start experimenting and see how far you can get. Asking for generic advice on StackOverflow or Hacker News is probably not the best approach. You'd get many opinions, and it will take a lot of time to be able to evaluate those.

Making something like this will probably take hundreds of hours. If the goal is not to learn something, I doubt you would want to invest that amount of time. I can only suggest that it is much easier to use an existing solution, such as WordPress or SquareSpace.

> I think the fundamental problem you've identified is the workday is too long. 40 hours a week is a lot, and most people work more than just 40 hours, sometimes much more.

Citation needed.

> Here's the thing: long term, I don't think work-from-home is a good way to reclaim time. Losing the geographic separation of an office makes it easier to start doing work outside of normal hours.

It this some plot from employers? "We are forcing you to the office for your own sake so we won't make you work from home on weekends"?

>Some people in critical positions simply get two Yubikeys

That really seems like the way to go for everyone, because of course when you lose access to the yubikey, it's suddenly far more challenging to get support via systems you may no longer be able to access. Google insists on two hardware MFA tokens for their elevated account protection program, most likely for this reason.
The problem with the idea of “everyone working less” is that some people won’t work less. Even now, there are people who work more than 40 hours / week.

Someone who works 25% more than you will make 25% more wages and will afford a 25% more expensive apartment, etc.

So long as you’re comfortable living in a suburb with lower desirability, you’ll be fine. But you might get priced out of places where people work more…

In fact, it doesn’t take a law for you to decide to start working less. Plenty of people work part time… You just need to balance how much you work with the affordability of the lifestyle you want to live.
More like, most people rather complain than learn how to use them properly.
For lifecycles, BEAM calls your NIF's load/upgrade/unload hooks as appropriate.

For global NIF module data, you're steered towards setting it up in the priv_data pointer passed to those hooks, and retreivable with enif_priv_data, but you can also use static variables or whatever else (it is native code, BEAM can't force you to do anything).

Lifecycle of Erlang Terms is bound to environments, often NIFs get Erlang Terms from the process that called them, and return Erlang Terms to that process... You can't keep references to those in native variables beyond the scope of the function call though; if you need to keep things around, you've got to either copy the values directly into native values, or use erl_make_copy to copy to an environment that you manage. (The erl_nif manpage is probably more clear than me, look for ErlNifEnv)

All that said, I think you're looking for a multi-table atomic rename like in MySQL[1]; so that you can replace a table in a single transaction? If that's all you want to change, you probably should just modify ets, rather than reimplement all the things; I'd be somewhat concerned about adding additional locking, but I don't know what the existing locking looks like.

I have no idea why you think that being able to warp from here to another star in a day would be somewhat useless. It is unlikely to be possible, but it would be very useful.

As for not having privileged frames of reference, that doesn't stop interactions with your environment from mattering.

For a trivial example, "at rest" is a privileged frame of reference for you. If you start moving in a different frame of reference you'll encounter weird things like "wind".

For a non-trivial example, the Standard Model says that there is no privileged ratio of masses between the electron and the proton in the laws of physics. The actual ratio of masses is set by an interaction with the part of the environment known as the Higgs field.

Astronomy shows that the fixed reference frame of the distant stars is environmentally privileged. It is also somewhat privileged physically as well. For example Mach's principle (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach%27s_principle if you don't know it) says that we notice we are rotating when we are rotating relative to that reference frame.

We know of no way to react to this feature of our environment and get from here to there faster than the speed of light. But there is no fundamental principle of physics that we know of which says it is not possible - we just have no clue how it might happen.
