I mean.. we locked children in their homes for 12-24 months. Quite literally, my kids could not: attend school, take swim lessons, do gymnastics, play soccer for 24 months without severe restrictions. Further, other parents were concerned to the point the sniffles or a covid exposure would limit our ability to get together for 3-14 days. Finally, you had parents also stuck home trying to raise kids in this environment and often would end up eating out / getting pre-packaged meals because there simply wasn't time.

Luckily, we had a yard, so I could at least get my kids outside and we'd play. Eventually, I ended up just moving because 18-20 months into this thing Illinois was still having a mask mandate for 2yr olds plus. I think it was finally lifted from schools after 24 months - https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-illinois-mask-...

I should add, many places still required it, it just wasn't mandated. They still were shutting down the classrooms every for a couple weeks at a time if 1 covid case was identified. This ended up meaning 25%+ of the time my kids were home.

My general point, if you feed kids a bad diet & remove their ability to exercise yeah -- type 2 diabetes.
Yeah, there are a few common mistakes that can get really troublesome when library authors make them. Assuming how you want to structure execution (by using GenServers in the library usually). Another one is only one instance of config. Meaning if you have a plan to use the library for multiple distinct activities or with multiple accounts, you have trouble.

Both simple config and GenServers have their place in libraries. But if a library doesn't expose the fundamentals it gets gnarly quickly.
Show HN: Faciliart – Create generative art without coding (preview)
I'm developing a Ruby on Rails application (still on preview) for my undergraduate dissertation that allows the user to create generative art using pre-programmed patterns (only three at the moment) without coding.

Suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.
Yea, this entire thread really tells me that most people on HN have absolutely zero experience with the investigation phase of law enforcement.

If your in some group that reenacts pointing weapons at each other, or coming up with idea on how to blow up buildings and you have someone overhear this and report it, law enforcement themselves have no idea if you're the real thing our not (statistically, no your not, but investigators deal with outliers all day every day). If there is some kind of audio or video evidence saying something actionable (even though it may be pretend) and that gets in front of a judge, expect a warrant to get issued to tap into just about every part of your life.
Indeed, it's hard to overstate how bad of an experience it is.
The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages (UESP, a wiki) https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page vs the Elder Scrolls "Fandom" website https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Wiki is night and day in terms of usability and user respect.

I think Google is partially to blame as it seems to rank Fandom pages way higher than self-hosted wikis.
>What accounts were deleted from where?

All Mojang and Minecraft accounts were deleted from Mojang's servers.

>which surely would have been major news.

I wish it was. In a few months people will want to revisit the game and then realize they have to rebuy the game if they want to play it again.
This is a very cool concept. The example given of Bytedance combining the text embedder ALBERT with the a transformer image embedder, to make an embedder that can do image and text at the same time to get an interaction score is fascinating. I had not heard of being able to combine unrelated embedders before, and I want to know more examples. A quick google search found this in depth blog article of how their using two-tower embeddings at Uber, which was written recently (this past July)

yeah but knowing what % of that 850 calories will be stored as fat or metabolized is the hard part and changes. obese ppl tend to store too many calories as fat due to bad genetics and other factors but are hungry all the time too...a combination that assures weight gain. People with better genetics are able to to eat to fullness without becoming obese because metabolism rises to accommodate surplus calories. That was the case for me. I ate 4-5k calories a day and never got above 190 for well over 15 years despite little exercise and being around 5'8. Other ppl could easily got to 300+ lbs on that diet. I would have jack in box for breakfast, panda express for lunch, and full dinner. plus lots of soda and snacks. It's all genes, in the end.

It’s also the same reason why schools in the US removed soda machines because it was a contributing factor to child obesity.

if only that was the only place to buy soda

>Scientifically, "bugs" refers to hemiptera

Contextually, we're downstream in a conversation caused by someone saying they will not eat bugs. If you had to guess, do you think someone yelling they won't eat bugs would eat fried crickets? Or popcorn pill bugs? Shrimp fried bees? Chocolate cockroach crunch cereal? None of those are hemipterans. I imagine those are all pretty well covered by the "I will not eat bugs!" statement.

In dotcom days, I used to work in SF with a developer from Australia. He liked to stay in youth hostels in SoMa. They were cheap and offered easy commute to downtown. He got to hang out and socialize with traveling expats and save a ton of money.

It was inconvenient by conventional standards (had to vacate and rotate rooms every few days) but he enjoyed the lifestyle. In the winter time, he went up to Tahoe and became a ski instructor while still freelancing tech projects.

With all the extra money he sent home, he ended up buying a house there while in his 20s. I lost touch but heard through mutual friends he was doing well.

You can sniff at pod housing, but when you're young, footloose, and chasing a dream, it's a pretty good deal.
I would pay money for this, but probably not as much as it would cost (assuming that people who want to LARP as bankers/tellers and can't get those jobs don't really exist).
I think it's temporary because in the article, he is quoted as saying he's "living in a $700/mo pod at Mint Plaza for the next 30 days." That seems pretty temporary to me?

As to what he deserves, I think he deserves to decide for himself without other people second-guessing it, and also to be able to change his mind and do something else if it gets old.

It seems like you're going off-topic, since the article isn't about minimum wage workers in general. But to address that, yes, rents are very high in San Francisco and it's no place to try to live solely on a minimum wage.
Yes and I believe there was a study about them surviving reentry, and they didn't, regardless if they could survive in space
> if everyone's copying them

Thats not what I said.

> it's hard to argue that they haven't hit on something that works better than the known alternatives.

Does it work better though? Barring some statistical outliers such as unicorns, VC backed startups from accelerators don’t measurably do better at all for the founders.

> What if you want to be an actor, or a comic, or a filmmaker? You basically have to move to LA or NY.

So, actors only work in […checks notes…] LA or NY?

This kind of egregious reductionism as support for the idea that a startup can only be successful if you dedicate your entire life to it to the exclusion of literally everything else (family, hobbies, “routines” - whatever that may mean) is not giving me the feeling that you are interested in a meaningful discussion, this is more like reddit point-scoring, which is not interesting, so I’m leaving it at this.
To the tune of billions of dollars, yes.
The only reason swipe works so well is because of how well people know the QWERTY layout, though. You'd have to have a pretty unique situation for it to be worth your time to thoroughly learn a new keyboard layout just to speed up typing on your phone.
Purely functional introduces lots of issues on it's own. (Look at all the monad insanity Haskell has to do to get the equivalent of a print statement).
> The workers ask for work when they want it, rather than being constantly listening

Can you elaborate more on this? How do the workers know when they have to process a new job?

Also, am I right in assuming this is typically a single node setup only, as all the files are mounted on a non "share-able" XFS disk?
> This is why I'm not a big fan of HTTP/3. It's a attempt to get about 10% more performance in the good case, at the cost of considerable extra complexity and less immunity to gaming the system.

To be clear, are you mainly complaining about the multiple streams aspect here, or do you have other concerns? Because while I'm no expert, using HTTP/3 (or QUIC, I'm ignoring the terminology differences here to avoid confusion with pre-standard QUIC, though I guess maybe we're past that point by now?) with just a single stream seems to be the only scalable solution to a certain problem.

The main problem I've had with TCP is that anybody can maliciously inject an RST, and for long-lived active connections, the chances of this happening approach 1. If you control both ends you can just tell your firewall to drop all RST packets so the applications can keep talking to each other, but ...

Dealing with this at the application layer is ... marginally possible I guess, but not easy unless your application looks a lot like a web browser (and even those tend to usually force the end user to manually fix it). Creating a new TCP connection sucks and you have no idea how much data got dropped after it left the application's buffer.

So we need a UDP reliability layer, since that's the only other general-purpose protocol that actually gets routed (and SCTP is flawed anyway). And dozens of those exist ... but almost none have major use, so I can't trust that they will play nice with the wider internet.

With HTTP/3, if there are major flaws found, I have confidence that - like TCP - it has enough users that someone will come up with an acceptable solution. (admittedly, since it's not part of the kernel it will be harder to actually deploy the fix)

(I guess TCP-over-VPN is also viable for some users)
Surely the disease causing a child to become diabetic is "meaningfully threatened" though?

I'm not sure why some people act like anything less than death is no big deal. Severe organ damage, whether lungs or pancreas or anything is a well documented, non-controversial risk of covid infection.

The more we learn, the more dangerous covid looks to be for kids. Diabetes is one of those risks we now know more about.

>All Mojang and Minecraft accounts were deleted from Mojang's servers

As somebody who's never touched Minecraft, surely all Minecraft accounts are Minecraft/Mojang accounts? If everybody playing suddenly needed to rebuy the game Tuesday it would have been big news.
FWIW, compared to real sword fights, fencing (as practiced in the Olympics et.al.) isn’t generally considered to be “real”. Points scored from tapping toes, foils which bend unrealistically, artificially constrained movements, one winner when both stabbed each other milliseconds apart…

But to your point, yes, most amateur sports could be boiled down to a form of LARPing given enough twisting.
In my experience a lot of OSS elixir libraries are basically done. They get updated if the language changes, but otherwise they just do what they do well and they resist feature creep.
Ok, that sounds pretty awful, so let me put my post in a little more context, lest it appear that I'm just cheerleading a bad government.

There's this idea that one of the reasons that US workers (and workers in the West more generally) had a relatively good standard of living during the Cold War, was that Western countries were facing competition from the Soviet Union. Would Britain have built all that social housing? Would it have created the NHS? Would America have permitted as much unionization as existed? Possibly not, if it weren't for the Soviet threat. And is it a coincidence that we had waves of privitization in the West at the same time that the Soviet Union was collapsing? So goes the thinking.

Now, the reality was that the Soviet Union was a totalitarian state, and it's unlikely that you'd actually want to live there. Granted, they may have done certain things well, like putting up Khrushchevkas. But the political situation was terrible and the material quality of life was not very good.

Nevertheless, maybe the existence of a competitor did spur the US and other countries to do better.

(There are other more cut-and-dry examples of this, e.g., much earlier, Bismarck outflanking the Socialists in Germany with state healthcare.)

And, for all the negatives of the Chinese system today, it's hard to argue that they don't build a lot very quickly. (Quality may be an issue sometimes, but I'm still impressed by a lot of what's accomplished.)

So, my half-tongue-in-cheek proposal is that China use its known strengths to offer a better deal than Western governments can, not just to e.g. African nations via BRI, but also to Western and even US citizens. It's not really that I think Westerners would be wise to go there (I know full well that there must be a propaganda element to the example of the Australians that I used). It's that Western leaders seem entirely content to let lucrative problems like the housing crisis fester, and it would be fantastic if there were some credible alternative to spur action.

Basically, life should be better for citizens if governments are competing for legitimacy with them.
> They offered me a job years ago but on the stipulation that I (and everyone else) worked out of their Los Gatos office.

Netflix has a major office in Los Angeles, and it has software engineering staff. I'm aware of at least a couple others. So it's most definitely not "everyone".

I would imagine if you're working on their core tech, they would want you in HQ though.

> As far as I've ever heard they never do RSUs

The CEO of Netflix has gone on record as saying that they pay their employees a high salary so they can invest in what they believe in. If that's Netflix, they're more than welcome to do so.

It's up to you to read into the intentions there or decide the truthiness, but that's the official stance.

DVD’s mpeg 2 is vastly inferior to h.265/av1 used by most streaming providers. And there’s only so much quality you can get out of a 480p frame.

4k blu-ray is much better than any streaming provider, though. And 1080p blu-ray about equal to 4k streaming.

Autoimmune disease diagnosis is bullshit. How come these "diseases" go into remission when following a carnivore/keto diet ?

Its because the liver is saturated with retinol. The autoimmune "flare ups" are nothing but a reaction to retinol ingested during ones meal that day. The retinol stays in the blood and the cells ask for assistance from the immune system as retinol is poison. The immune system attacks the cells which are miscategorized as unhealthy/toxic/dangerous to the body.

Meat does not contain retinol. Don't consume retinol and your auto immune "disease" magically disappears. Now ask yourself after you do this experiment and see that it is true - is there a conspiracy at play here in the medical community at the top to keep millions of Americans sick?
I did time in Parchman in the early 00s as I was transferred from prison to prison for RID (Regimented Inmate Discipline.)

It's not just a programming language—it's an entire philosophy centered around fault tolerance and concurrency, thanks to its foundation on the Erlang VM. While Elixir's syntax and features are certainly appealing, the real power lies in its integration with the Erlang VM. When people praise Elixir, a significant portion of that praise is directed at the capabilities you get with OTP/BEAM right out of the box. These include robustness, distribution, and real-time processing, which are not as readily available or as mature in other ecosystems. the Erlang VM is 38+ years old.
None of what you said makes any sense. Who would pay thousands per roll? Why would the price be that high?

Also, you’re incorrect about producers having the right incentives. They are incentivized by money, not a higher calling to wipe ass.

Price controls have no place at all other than appealing to people’s emotions. They cannot fix or hide supply problems. They can just shift the price signal to lucky intermediaries (scalpers) rather than to suppliers.

I think if we actually found irrefutable evidence of life on Europa (or some other celestial body) and that life was definitively non-terrestrial in origin, it would make global headlines.

Even if it's just microbes and not, like, some exotic whale- or octopus-type creature, it would be a momentous event.
Minecraft now only supports Microsoft accounts as they deleted all other accounts.

Minecraft accounts were the original account system that minecraft used. Once Mojang was working on Scrolls they created the Mojang account system to span all of the studio's games. After the acquisition by Microsoft it was changed so that people buying Minecraft would instead use Microsoft accounts.
Croatia asserts its right to administer the patch through the simple expedient of actually administering it. The fact that Croatia claims to only be controlling access and evicting squatters on behalf of Serbia does not change the fact that Croatia is controlling access and evicting squatters.

The Liberlanders' claim that the patch was terra nullius was silly from day one. An area is terra nullius if there is no recognized government hoping to run it, not if there is no recognized government that will publicly commit to keep running it forever.

The Liberlanders' new claim that the patch is bona vacantia is just completely batshit gaga. Bona vacantia is about private ownership title rather than sovereignty, does not exist in civil law jurisdictions, and when successfully invoked just means ownership of the item in question has reverted to the Crown.

We need a moratorium on ancaps having legal opinions until their semantics games become functionally distinguishable from SovCit woo.

I don't think anyone defends sugar as good for you, but there is a lot of research showing that dietary saturated fats can actually be good for you. Especially if the concern is diabetes, ketogenic diets can be extremely beneficial as the body is burning primarily fat rather than glucose and glycogen.

Maybe the real world is a complex place where you have bad actors that need stopped, and in some cases those bad actors are also the police.

If you're trying to reduce any real world situation to a binary set of choices, you're almost always going to be incorrect. When I was a teenager I was working in a shop and a number of people around there had more radical views on the government. A few of them commonly got together and did what we'd consider LARPing now (this was 90s). One of them seems to have more a more violent anti-government take over the others. Wasn't long before the FBI was down there arresting him and he eventually served a healthy sentence over his actions.

Unfortunately Google has become a memory hole on older news like this, and I can no longer remember his name to find any articles on this.
