Whole I agree with everything you said, it's actually worse... nobody really believes the next (Labour) government will improve things either.
Huh my chelesterol got much higher after exercising and eating healthy for about 6 months , it made nonsense to me , I another test and my doctor didn't understand why .

For other health reasons I stopped working out and eventually started eating junk food .

My chelesterol got cut in half !
Yes, I agree. Email got ruined by external users - scams, spam, and marketing. Chat is nice for companies because everybody inside is trusted.

The irony is not lost on me that Booklet is almost rebuilding email, but for internal-only usage. I think about this a lot.
Google (and Apple) maps are very car-centric, so they are on the same level as OSM in that regard, but OSM knows about every foot/cycle path and even has different levels of "quality" for them.

What I miss in Organic Maps compared to OSMAnd is being able to choose a category of POIs which are then shown even when zoomed further out - useful if you are looking for e.g. restaurants nearby.
Couldn't agree with this more. While I think it's important to have good documentation, it is nearly always a very bad idea to rely on that documentation being 100% correct. Businesses simply have way too many moving parts to assume the state of the world is always up-to-date in the documentation.

You also highlight a very good point. Things like security software should "break loudly", i.e. beyond just sending alerts (which can be ignored), there should be some explicitly "painful" steps that occur if the security system is in a broken state for long.
All comes to cycle. When do you enter that 6 year LTS? Is there new LTS every year or every other year? If you enter 2 years in or even 4 years in. How much have you support left?

Do you jump LTS releases. So one you are on is ending and there is brand new available? Or do you go to one before and have possibly only 2 or 4 years left...
Wow… has he been on a train?
Ah so it’s just a company / warehouse rail extension? Pretty much a standard feature for decades?
Because Deutsche Bahn is doing such a splendid job and it'd be a shame to have an alternative to it?
Exactly. Making it about the kids makes it difficult for people to protest or object. I had an awkward time on our very technical team call yesterday when I ranted a bit about the bill passed. Senior engineers wanted me to 'move along' because somehow they believe that it is better for their own kids.

It's the only way to systematically distribute power.
My very crude understanding would be (if I read the abstract right): Too low total cholesterol is bad, too high is bad (that U shaped relationship between total cholesterol and mortality, also holds for age-sex groups). With the link between high and bad weaker than between low and good.
No it's not different, what you describe is exactly what fixed point is.
It's not yet illegal to supply someone with an E2E encryption tool like OpenPGP.

People are concentrating on the technicalities of implementation and completely missing the point that a substantial fraction of the UK population appears to think that pervasive surveillance is the solution to crime of all kinds.

That it might or might not be feasible while still allowing people to have secure communications is not really relevant because there are enough people who would be quite happy for their communications to be less secure just so long as one more paedophile or protester can be brought to justice.
I can imagine that many great academics might have difficulties 'holding a job'. A PhD is certainly something to be proud of, just as running a marathon, raising a great child or having a great corporate career.
...suggestions/ info/ links?
I had disabled the scroll bar because I use infinite scrolling all over the app, and the scroll bar was jumping around like crazy as more content loaded. In addition, some pages had scroll bars, but shorter page did not - so as I clicked between pages there were layout shifts as the scrollbar appeared then disappeared.

How do other solve this? Based on the reactions here, it seems like hiding the scroll bar may not be the best approach.
> First, the price of a 6.5 fl. oz. bottle of Coca-Cola was set at 5¢ in the 1880s and remained 5¢ through the 1890s, the 1900s, the 1910s, the 1920s … all the way until the 1950s when the price was finally raised.

No, that's explicitly mentioned in the story:

> And thereafter the real Coca-Cola company did lose half its trademark and did grant perpetual bottling franchises at fixed syrup prices. And some of the bottlers were not very effective and couldn’t easily be changed. And the real Coca-Cola company, with this system, did lose much pricing control that would have improved results, had it been retained.
Google pays gregkh to make LTS (not all LTS are made by him though), and he works mainline first, so it's already working that way
using wget here does not make it more embarrassing as its user agent was almost certainly randomized to look like normal web traffic. Normal traffic downloading lots of 10MB files... well, yeah that's not great.
The abstract seems pretty clear to me. In essence low cholesterol is associated with even greater risk than high cholesterol. The optimum is somewhere around 200 mg/dL. The study was performed over a large group of Koreans over more than ten years.

The trick to read scientific papers is that unless you're in that specific field, skimming doesn't work. You have to read sentence by sentence and sometimes stop and look up terms you don't understand for the whole to make sense.
Ask HN: Why are people so mad at Unity?
I'm a little unclear about the anger toward Unity. From what I can tell they're now charging $.20/download if you have revenues over $200,000. To me that's a phenomenally low price. Game engines are hard. They have a gigantic toolset, impressive portability, massive amounts of free assets along with a thriving third party market, and seem to excel at both 2D and 3D games. Isn't $.20/copy infinitely cheaper than trying to create one's own game engine? I never understood how they could afford the original pricing scheme.

Background: I have no skin in the game. I'm not a game dev. But the uproar fascinates me.
I've been using VPN services for every byte of traffic in and out of my home and on my mobile phone for 15 years.

Based on stories I've heard from people work in industry, every major ISP in the UK keeps DNS query logs and "internet connection records" and makes these available to authorities (without a warrant)
A friend of mine recently installed windows to another drive (I hadn't had the chance to tell him to unplug every other drive) and sure enough, it did install with all of the funny partitions elsewhere. We though it will be easily fixable afterwards, but it's not - you cannot recreate it. With those gone the system cannot hibernate and it couldn't shut down until disabling fast startup. Updates don't work either, but it still tries doing them, fails rollbacks and restarts. Is it user error? Maybe, but I still blame the installer for not being clear and automatically picking a stupid setup.
It's got to have at least 2, even this one I hope
It just describes the figures. U shaped curves means too little or too much cholesterol was associated with mortality. Whereas the previous assumption for cholesterol levels was “The lower, the better."
Correct. There's no additional context for the reader. There's blind people who are pretty good at Nethack. Once you're stuck with a character soup you might as well fully embrace it.
The misinformation on cholesterol is at an all-time high. Here's a good deep-dive on the subject:

"Dr. Paul Mason — Why your doctor thinks cholesterol is bad"

https://youtu.be/j-nq60_oEIc?si=KX9MFMrC43NDJtVy

Then maybe follow up with "The shady truth about statins"

https://youtu.be/I7r4j1u42V8?si=QHxg7UDQFcBkMt2p

---

tl;dr: total cholesterol is a terrible health metric on its own, and depending on your diet, it might be both associated with shorter lifespan, or longevity. More valid diagnostic tools are available, but far too expensive for the GP office. And statins simply reduce this useless figure in a vacuum, but are not correlated at all with improved health.
Ask HN: Interest in desktop or mobile app to find “cloud” files and data?
I prefer to keep my files and data on my own devices, but recently some "cloud" services have been looking very attractive. However, my concern is that I simply won't even remember that I have files or data on these services. I am not referring to cloud storage filesystems, rather applications (such as Genius Scan) that store their app data on their own servers (the cloud) in addition (or in lieu of) on one's mobile device.

My line of thinking is a mobile app or desktop app that identifies the presence of these of potentially-cloud storing applications (via adb for the desktop app) and somehow either integrates a way to access those data and files, or at least makes the user aware that such data and files (potentially) exists.

I do understand that I'll be playing the "add the new cloud provider" game quite often, and that users will expect support for such new providers to be done regularly. My initial thought is to use downloadable lists, not unlike adblockers, that the community can contribute to - or that I can easily update via some structured language e.g. JSON.

Is there interest in such an application or service? Has the community any other feedback that I should consider? Thank you!
They asked questions and I answered them. I'm not trying to make a point, and I don't think that the OP was trying to make a point with their questions, either.
Wolves fight in packs too, for hunting prey.. a single wolf sticking and fighting to death, and a knight with a sword in armor not managing to seriously wound it earlier? Tbh doesn't sound realistic at all, given also todays knowledge about the behaviour of wolves. They had also plenty of food and other opportunities back then. Given how fatal any injury can be any predator is taking on any unnecessary fight very carefully.
The data I used was up to 2020 (see the chart) and your link says that for people under 22 the leading cause was vehicle accidents in 2021.

But your point is made: drug poisonings are now the scourge of adults in the main years of life.

I think they get some type of pension/benefits, similar to how you can retire from the US military after 20 years of service, which is a more extreme case. (If you enlist at age 18, you can be fully retired at 38)

I'm all for having someone fix DB, but I'm not so sure I trust a car manufacturer who hates public transit to do it.
I'm not sure this is the GREAT COMEBACK you'd hoped for.
Lots of third party software hooks the kernel for various things, such as drivers for enterprise RAID or proprietary networking, and whatever it is Nvidia does these days. Those go far beyond the user space interface and are dependent on binaries staying unchanged. This is for them.

If you are running user space applications only on upstream supported hardware, there is no reason to stay with long time supported kernels, just follow the regular stable which is much easier for everyone.
I think it's because it looks like an _ancient_ security camera feed, which reminds me of watching security footage on television news as a child. Most modern systems I see don't have that kind of noisy distorted "bad analogue" look so I think they just don't trigger the same reaction in me.
But no one cares about your server anyway let alone nation states so it’s not a realistic worry anyway at that level. Once you’re at the point of having relevance then you’ll probably find nation states have levers to pull.
So, 'the brexit' wasn't all that much out of character?

It works similarly: migrations flow as part of the replication stream and clients apply them immediately, so that new data fits the local schema. New columns and etc might not immediately be exposed to the client app, but everything will works for old clients.

You can learn more about our support for migrations here: https://electric-sql.com/docs/usage/data-modelling/migration...

Native clients will be coming a bit later.

You can use the shapes to control what data syncs to the device: https://electric-sql.com/docs/usage/data-access/shapes
Dude I got into a FAANG company with no CS degree (or any other degree). Unless you're going into research, where is PhD is almost required, they'll hire you based on your skills.

Pointing out that specific objections are fixable in practice is just a summary point - they wrote a detailed paper on this topic, which is worth reading in full:

Sorry you had that experience, but that certainly wasn't mine. Don't want to reveal too much but some very high level people in the tech world that you've probably heard of (or at least heard of their companies) have strong musical backgrounds.
They are comparing with a paper from four years earlier that used that age range.

If your implication of some skulduggery is about guns, the previous paper showed vehicle accidents as the leading cause.
We still have a land line. When a call comes through the phone often gives a gentle "peep", then a pause, then goes full-on ring. I've started to react to the "peep".

But every evening, mostly around 21:00 or so, the phone gives a gentle "peep" without then ringing.

I wonder if it's a line test?
Does this naive approach work for anyone to allow a log to be read like a trace:

1. At the start of a request, generate a globally unique traceId

2. Pass this traceId through the whole call stack.

3. Whenever logging, log the traceId as a parameter

Now you have a log with many of the plusses of a trace. The only additional cost to the log is the storage of the traceId on every message.

If you want to read a trace, search through your logs for "traceId: xyz123". If you use plain text storage you can grep. If you use some indexed storage, search for the key-value pair.

This way, you can retrieve something that looks like a trace from a log.

This does not solve all the issues named in the article. However, it is a decent tradeoff that I've used successfully in the past. Call it "poor man's tracing".
It’s very confusing to keep track of all the lists of things presented ‘respectively’, yes!

Interesting though, seems that from a total cholesterol level of 200 to 229 mg/dL (or a bit lower optimal range for the youngest age groups), raising the level causes increased mortality, but below that level, raising it decreases mortality even more than raising from a high level increased it, so it seems like ‘cholesterol == bad’ is wrong, having really low levels (it seems) can be much worse than having high levels.

The second bit seems to say that increases from the high range were worse (increased mortality rates more) for younger people and but the effect decreased pretty linearly as you go up through the age groups, but the positive effect of increasing from a low level was pretty consistent for each age group, except for the youngest and oldest group.
No need to look far. In austria the ÖBB and Westbahn are competing. And it turned out quite well.
>You do know that only certain food items are available on food stamps.

LOL!

>Households CANNOT use SNAP benefits to buy:[0]

>Beer, wine, liquor, cigarettes, or tobacco
>Vitamins, medicines, and supplements. If an item has a Supplement Facts label, it is considered a supplement and is not eligible for SNAP purchase.
>Live animals (except shellfish, fish removed from water, and animals slaughtered prior to pick-up from the store).
>Foods that are hot at the point of sale
>Any nonfood items such as:
>Pet foods
>Cleaning supplies, paper products, and other household supplies.
>Hygiene items, cosmetics

I guess you a technically correct here. But "only certain foods" includes almost the whole store, with no limit on junk food at all.

>Because of people like you, we need to make sure the poor can't have any pleasure in life.

Execpt the pleasure of free food, housing and health care, right? Maybe we can add free tickets to the movies in the next social program.

Sorry for asking, but I'm not familiar with this term. "Generals" means "final exam"? For PhD?
Same. Self taught as a child (like OP). Offered a job at a FAANG twice, and took it the second time.
Also ridiculously implausible is that the supermarket keeps vanilla ice cream in a completely different location in the store.
Except it wasn’t murder; it was a young woman — with support and consent of her mother — attempting to practice bodily autonomy.
Yeah, for this I like to append the deployment time to the asset paths from within my application; however in the case of static websites it can be a problem.
Indeed. The videos from that “Low Carb Down Under” channel are as scientifically accurate as anti-vaxxing or homeopathy.
I find it kind of funny that they're using a Diesel-powered train to drive people to a Tesla-factory .
Yes, I understand that (and I like XML as a format and XSLT 2.0 as a language). However, from the popularity of JSON, it seems that for most cases it's the easier choice.

Take any random REST API for example. If it returns JSON, you can integrate it more easily than if it returned XML. If you need special cases like large numbers (or date-times), you handle only those.
I don't wanna install Arch the Arch way either, and I've been running Arch for over 10yrs

It is depressing, but is it untrue? Yes, the prophecy can be self-fulfilling. But we have an impressive recent record of pulling the trigger on foot-guns.
It is a standard feature for many factories, but usually for transporting cargo, not passengers/commuters.
Because doctor comes from the passive doctus ('having been taught', i.e. learned) rather than the active docens ('teaching, instructing').
It's not pushing car-centric infra. Roads mean cars, bikes, motorbikes, vans, lorries, and emergency services vehicles can all get around with very little coordination.

Train tracks work for...trains. One at a time, going at a time and in a direction someone somewhere else decided might be a good idea. It's a performance optimisation, where there is enough demand to make a highly parallel transportation method worth installing (or less painful than the more bottom-up alternative).

In these types of configurations, _everything_ should be a string and data types are parsed with an additional helper function. It was a mistake to have per-platform, per-implementation parsing.

> Now, I understand why people do YAML, but there are better choices.

JSON. XML is great, but a little too verbose and can be difficult to parse. JSON is simple, well structured, easily human readable (if a sane structure is used), agnostic to indentation.
Apps with large dataset have their own characteristics: they are more tolerant to slower initial sync. We can resume replication at point-in-time, so even if a shape takes long to load, we can resume replication at the point we started synching the shape.

We will be working on the engineering to handle transferring large shapes.

Perhaps the cost of delivery of those groceries will be cheaper than the cost of owning and running a vehicle. Some sources give that cost as many hundreds of dollars a month. It doesn't seem unreasonable that having groceries delivered once a week might be less.
Most open source projects have realized that GPL has unfortunate parallels with a foot gun.

Forcing people to contribute sounds like a great idea, until nobody wants to be forced and everybody prefers the other project that doesn't force them, and then they all go ahead and contribute to that other project anyway because they want to, not because they were forced to (in large part because the practical benefits of getting your changes into the upstream vastly outstrip any theoretical "my code is better" fantasies).

Faster adoption of non-GPL projects leads to faster growth of those projects in the form of more contributions as well. Other than a group of mostly quite old GPL projects the momentum and activity and success is clearly with more MIT-like licenses than GPL-like licenses, again in large part because the benefits to you of getting your patches into the upstream proves to be a powerful motivator that is not also a demotivator the way the threat of being forced to contribute is.

Yes, one can point out a newish successful GPL project here or there and a couple of pro-GPL ecosystems but the vast majority of recently successful project starters are using MIT-ish licenses for good reasons.
