But then you need a table or some sort of surface to put the keyboard on, and then I might as well use my laptop if I have it. I want better editing for when I'm standing in line at the grocery store with one hand free.

I have a keyboard that I've attached a guitar strap to, in order to be able to type while standing, without a table to rest the keyboard on.
Tooth decay or brain and liver damage? Or reducing sugar?
If anyone is interested in controlling parasites by playing with their reproduction, consider the "screwworm fence" down in Panama. Irradiated male screwworm flies are bred and released en masse, to mate with wild females to produce nonviable offspring and thereby halt the species spreading further north. It works so well that few have heard about it.
Interesting malware. It's probably a good idea to locally block their IoC domains [1] in the local DNS resolver. Probably won't help people using public DoH servers though.

Now just to engineer them to produce menthol instead.
Most operating systems have a lot of really useful shortcuts that most people don't use despite it potentially making their lives 10x easier like Ctrl/Cmd+C. Swipe to undo, holding down the key to access accented keys (also works on address bars as it prompts you to add common domains like .com or .net), slide to type, etc. An easy way to discover most of these (on iOS specifically) is just to go through the working with text section in the iOS Tips app.
That comma is a punctuation failure.
Proposal: Expose a zero allocation API to Godot C# bindings
Thank you for posting this. I refrained from voting since this is a throwaway.

As someone who does not speak Russian (nor even anything aside from the type of German or Spanish one used to woo a hostelmate), it's hard to find good primary sources like this.

He reminds me of how it could have been if John Stewart had actually run for president. The Italian Five Star movement's Euroskepticism is utterly toxic, but that core idea of "politics should not be a profession" is a very good idea... I hate the show "House of Cards", but the American remake does a good job showing how if you truly try to advocate for your district, it often ends with someone decent dying and the evil moving on up.

You can see in the piece when they discuss his comments on Donbas how quickly someone well intentioned from entertainment can quickly run aground when put on the spot.

(Since apparently not every comedy fan spends hours each day F5ing anything related to the Foundations of Geopolitics)

I worry we have already forgotten the very valuable lessons learned when the Icelandic people locked up their bankers briefly.

(The difference being that was a cold war that never went hot, because the unlike Putin, the governments of the EU are unwilling to shoot their own people, let alone conscript them into wars of aggression.)

Edit: there were errors in this comment. I will leave them in. I stand by my words.
Auto-brewery syndrome! https://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks/oct-26-2019-world-s-loudest-...
Probiora seems similar, but less sticky (it recommends a daily dissolvable tablet instead a once a decade tablet) and instead of producing ethanol, produces hydrogen peroxide.

I think Firefox removed this (capability) a while back.
This is also a very Hacker News-esq comment to think 1% of people are consuming music via means other than streaming services.
Charging $20,000 for a dose? Really?
The added genetic factors may, themselves, be exogenous and genetically modified. Your argument does make sense over thousands of years, however.
It’s new evidence, but it doesn’t contradict the entire case. In particular, there are witnesses who said they saw him abuse the kid in the past, and child abuse remains a real thing regardless of medical disputes about whether there’s a distinct “shaken baby syndrome”. So the judge felt that a reasonable juror could have convicted him even in light of the new information.
App? What app??

You connect to it over USB/uart and enter commands manually.

There are some 3rd party apps that can interface to it, but I belive the big one is in fact open source
Oh, interesting, this shows up in the second chance pool:

I knew this was a thing, but I didn't realize it worked by messing with timestamps.
Because there's no downside to the current system they use. They only out-compete if you modify them in other ways to make them more successful in addition to the change you want.
Any evidence that they are still doing that 20 years later?
Or tap with three fingers to bring up the tools menu, or double-tab with three fingers to undo. Still a bit clunky.
Each instance has its own stack. Switching between them is cooperative on a single thread. What am I missing?
This is certainly an interesting idea, but there's absolutely no way for anyone to judge whether the claim on this page is bulletproof true, something plausible worth researching more, or just total nonsense.

But the fact that there isn't a single link to any scientific paper or evidence whatsoever, or even a single person's name linked to the site (or source of funding or anything), makes me assume this is just spam or a scam.

Apsec112, why did you submit this? How did you find it? Can you give us any context to suggest that anything about this is legit?

And anybody else -- are there actual published results from legit scientists on this? Is this a real thing, or just make-believe?

Because this is an extraordinary claim, and extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Not just 11 sentences.

Edit: I missed that at the very bottom of the page there's a link to a... Google Drive folder? [1] But it's disorganized and not exactly, well, professional. I can't make heads or tails of anything in it, or find anything that suggests credibility.

Looks interesting but too good to be true. No one knows what is the catch? Or why the patent or technology would be stuck for so long if so good?

Also, would it really be safe to change the chimical equilibrium of the mouth?
We've got lots of disk-backup tools that handle this just fine, deduplicating blocks and compressing where they're able.
You think that she became an American citizen and referred to herself as an American actress but didn’t think of herself as an American? The part we’re adding to how she described herself is Austrian, not American.
Right. So let's not use the imperfect local clients that still work well. Let's just keep complaining about how Google is a big meanie for not making mail.google.com work offline (somehow) instead.

What happens when these get into the esophagus and produce oxide species? Extra free radicals can't be great for your DNA. I wonder what the long term cancer outcomes would be.
no the blackberry had a physical trackball with toothy tactile feedback for motion and a mechanical click action

you could scroll vertically and horizontally

I don't remember if you could highlight, but there was a shift key so I'm assuming yes, and I vaguely recall double-tapping backspace for whole-world deletion
Not agreeing/disagreeing with this you but I wonder how you feel about obesity tax ? Low physical fitness tax ? There's plenty of evidence that exercise and diet significantly impact health (especially on population level) - like you said there's an incentive to keep those people healthy contributors instead of chronic burdens on the system. Sounds like a logical extension but doesn't seem popular/implemented widely.

If it is a small country, hang out at wherever the e-waste drop off is, and offer to accept the machines in liu (sp?) of the probably greenwashed megacorporation. Most folks will be willing to give you their stuff if they know you'll actually USE it and you ask nicely.
We did move out of the US and funnily enough food (bread especially - we lived in the south) was part of the reason. However since our return to the UK the over processing of what were simple foods has occurred also. It seems to have dramatically accelerated post pandemic/brexit. We eventually moved somewhere where there’s a traditional baker walking distance away but if we have to go to a supermarket Sainsbury’s carry just two specialty brands soy free now the major brands hocks and warburtons and Sainsbury’s own branded bread all have soya flour.

I think in breads case it does improve the softness and protein content but it’s really unnecessary and mainly in there as it shaves cost.
Good art can be created even though the author intends it to be bad. But it isn’t this intention that makes it so.

The audience are the only ones who can judge. Noone else will see it, after all. :)
Like giving people an incentive to illegally come to your country ? If there are no difference between coming legally or illegally the choice is easy.

Like I could just book a one way flight to LA and become a US citizen because reasons ?
They do, just like the ATF requires all sorts of record-keeping for gun sales and the EPA has rules about disposal of chemicals and the IRS has all sorts of tax regulations.

However, all three organizations have been subject to decades of budgetary cuts/freezes/criticism by republican lawmakers and thus have a fraction of the inspectors they should.

The Senate also is allergic to appointing a permanent leader of the ATF: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/why-the-atf-is-often-leade...

The way republicans have functioned for a few decades (after realizing that legislatively trying to kill the ATF, EPA, OSHA, etc is unpopular) is to hamstring the budget for those departments, tie up leadership appointments as much as possible, and then in hearings shout about how ineffective the agencies are.

It's like starving someone and then criticizing them for being lazy and inactive.

The same technique is used to attack social services. WIC, a food stamp program for mothers with infants and children, requires yearly "certification" which involves in-person interviews at offices that few and far between, often not public transit accessible, and so on. How is a mother who is so poor she needs WIC (and thus may not even have a car) supposed to afford to take a day off from work and travel to an office so someone can verify that her child still exists?

Compare that to other government programs that benefit the wealthy and corporations. Do people writing off luxury cars, entire homes, and bizjets have to show up at a regional IRS office (annually) to have their records audited, proving that the luxury property is actually being used for business purposes and they're entitled to a writeoff (or being given use of said property without paying taxes on it)?
“Meta analysis” is the new snake oil.
I suspect that people in both the main "sides" have decided what they'd prefer, either for their own individual interests, or some gut feel about what's better for the organization. And people feel threatened by moves against what they've decided.

(Disclosure: I'm pro-WFH overall, or, ideally, my own version of hybrid. I can see some benefits to some uses of in-person. I can also see WFH problems that still need creative solutions. I'm also aware that, in dialogue around this, some other people might not be playing the same game of nuance and problem-solving.)
What if you spit it out? Or what about french-kissing someone, can you give this bacteria to the other person that way?
It is, but those claiming psedoscience aren't even claiming that the set of symptoms aren't "real", just that they don't deserve their own label because of the implication.

"We can't explain this trio of internal head/brain/eye trauma with lack of corresponding external trauma, but don't you dare make the reasonable claim that shaking a baby can/does nominally cause the symptoms we see when a baby is, in fact, shaken."
That wasn't my claim, you keep confusing non0 reduction with 0 effect on human health
The way Twitter has changed in the last year is so I can no longer read threads since I don’t have an account.
Good luck at the check stop after this.
> The other day I was trying to download Blade Runner: The Final Cut. I went to “1337x” but I just kept getting ads wherever I clicked.

I use it all the time (today, yesterday, the day before) and I've never seen an ad, or even clicked on one on l337x.

I can pretty much guess your browser from the experience you posted.

Use Firefox. You won't notice a performance difference, all the pages still work, and the web is so much nicer.
Is there a reason why npm packages should not target the highest possible target that an LTS Node.js supports? On the front-end those that need lower targets will run their own transpiling anyway to whatever target they want. I'm about to release a few simple npm packages and I'm considering ES2017 as the target (since it has the last major feature - async / await). I'm guessing it's just that the end-user of the library would need to be aware of the polyfills that need to be supplied. I have asked a question [0] about it a while back but it did not get any responses.

To clarify - the goal is if you have a project that uses ES7, why would you want to use a package written in ES2020 that is transpiled to, i.e. ES2016 using non-native async / await.

I have an online text editor open in the browser, and use that (i use editpad.org, but there are many others).
Wow - I just want to express some gratitude for the thoughtful response here.

You've captured the essence -- although we have solutions for when the impulse to rewrite an application occurs, we don't have solutions that don't bring their own problems.

Further, the natural human expectation for the software engineer to be like Chuck Norris, who can Fix Everything Without Changing Anything, needs to be considered and managed.

The opposite - where, as someone else termed it - the new version is based on a grab-bag/wishlist of everyone's hopes and dreams, generally doesn't work out either.

The true path does seem to be:

* setup integration tests that validate WHAT the system does (blackbox), rather than HOW the system works (vs whitebox).

* build the new system modularly, offloading one part of the old system's work onto the new system, one part at a time.

* keep the new and old system synchronized, using eventing/message-queues/etc (this is going to be difficult)

* continue replacing the old parts of the system with their new replacements until the old system no longer exists

* Now you've created the old system again, but the code and architecture are clean and capable of the changes that were not possible before

* Move forward confidently adding new features and capabilities to your new system which does not suffer from the problems of the old system.
Hi! These are friends of mine. There is much more detail in the Google Drive (linked from the About page): https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/18ZDSe92LgLmS0sUb...
Call to action is to give them my email to learn more, but no description of what I'd actually get.

I'd love to see links to papers, news articles, or some description of what they plan to do next.
The liver filters the blood. Blood is mostly fluid.

Dehydration isn't good for you generally.

And when my dad was told to get his affairs in order, his cancer was going to kill him, hydration was a big focus for my parents. He lived another two decades.

So obviously I'm an idiot and it's "anecdata" and I can't cite any large scale studies, but I can wonder in good faith if hydration might impact cancer for more people than just my father.

And the Houston Clinic interviewed my mother on tape for two hours because they knew they didn't keep him alive, she did, and changed their practices because of what she said. So people with better medical credentials than "My daddy didn't die when he was supposed to" also thought maybe something my parents did was significant.
I keep my stuff on Dropbox and Github and it has been working for a while.
> reflective foil

E.g. an aptly named space blanket.

A friend once gave me a small sample of thermal insulation used for a satellite he worked on. It was several layers of metallised plastic (e.g. space blanket) with a very fine plastic mesh, almost like fine fishing net, in between those mylar layers to create small gaps between the metallised layers. I think it had about 10 layers like this.
You're a biblical scholar who has not heard of the claims of miracles through Moses, Jesus, his disciples and the saints?

I thought you merely rejected them as misinformation, not that you ignored the very claims.
I always had to take notes, still do, if I want to be able to focus on the speaker. Something about how I process speech.

I'm very skeptical about the "there are no learning styles" results.
> block their IoC domains

And IoC raw IPs. Although that could break the web as IPV4 addresses change hands all the time, so you could overblock.
Update on TraCSS – Traffic Coordination System for Space
The term 'learning style' has two completely separate meanings depending on whether it's a tool at your disposal or an external requirement. People in the latter group talk about "debunking" a "myth" in the same way that programmers write "agile is bullshit" blogs.

It hasn't been seriously studied since the late 90s (imho) because the people working on it were all fairly satisfied with the new tool they'd created for certain struggling teachers in very specific circumstances. From that perspective, potential research questions might boil down to "Is empathizing with a different point of view useful?" or "Exactly how attracted am I to the idea of archetypes?"
Interesting product, but the site has one of the worst GDPR controls ive seen - silently redirects to Google if you attempt to view the site from an EU IP address. Thought my computer is going nuts
yes 100% to your link

in my experience all screen input has high cognitive workload

(even taps, because modern touch UX has small targets and unpredictable animation timing when you open a menu)

US navy blamed touch input for a boat collision and swapped out some touchscreens for physical controls

>Assuming 24 bits per pixel, that's 1 GB per image

1Gb, not GB. And in practice it's not that high. Most digital cameras use a Bayer filter, with the pixel count specified as the number of grayscale pixels behind the individual filter elements. Raws are most often 12 or 14 bits per pixel, so about 68MB or 79MB for a 45MP sensor. This can be further reduced with lossless compression. Still a lot for a 128GiB phone, though.
The number one threat to governments is a lack of need for a government. Croatia, like any government, must crush independence (lack of dependence) even if it exists outside the government's claimed borders.

All past revolutions sought to replace government. The universal revolution of all humanity is to leave no reason for it to exist.
Good choice. Gingivitis is a deeper problem than cavities. Without your gums you lose not just your teeth, but it can become a systemic infection. And it's much harder to fix than a cavity.
I feel great about slapping a tax on the profits of companies that sell highly processed, sugary, addictive foods so that the market selects for healthier alternatives.

Maybe subsidies for selling fresh fruit and veg also.

I guess you could tax their victims instead though... they don't have a lobby so theyre probably easier to take advantage of.
Basically yes. M:N just wasn't a good fit for the way applications used (and use) pthreads. For those that need pure CPU parallelism M:N is just useless overhead, while highly concurrent applications were either using one process per request for simplicity and robustness, or directly building on top of poll/epoll/kqueue for performance.

So, at least at that time, M:N and scheduler activation was a solution in search of a problem. It might still see a resurgence on one way or another.
A friend is in the countertop business in Florida. We just transitioned his shop to primarily rely on refurbed FANUC robotics performing the heavy lifting and cutting ops to prevent these health hazards (as he’s the one doing the cutting). Work areas are operated in lazy negative pressure with work atmosphere filtered prior to exhaust out of the building.

Regulation is the only way to prevent labor from being treated as disposable by these businesses, regardless of the status of these workers.
If you take this view, any tax on current state is like a "cancer tax" - you're just doubly punishing the person.

Sugar tax, coal tax, corn syrup tax, worked-your-employees-90h/week tax? Sure.
Importing standard libraries a bit faster is not really the greatest concern of large C++ projects.
Google Search vs. Kagi
And… what exactly is achieved by this sort of justice system? Congrats, you killed some undereducated, desperate parents who fucked up and lost their child.
Why are you lying and spreading FUD? I work in the industry and Microsoft is by far the most picky one and their filtering is totally opaque.

It's not very hard to get along with Gmail spam filters unless you're trying to send thousands of mails.
