My understanding is that there is not a very obvious dose response curve for mesothelioma. There are some people who had occupational exposure for their entire working life and don’t get it, while there are some people that had a small number of individual exposures and do get it. I think this is what drives a lot of people to dismiss the risks of asbestos. They work around the stuff and they work with people who work around the stuff and they don’t see people getting mesothelioma, so they assume it’s not a big deal.
Thanks for your comment! :)

Nice to see you like(d) it.

Yes, sadly it gets worse, perhaps not even in bad faith but by trying to fix it.
Chromium still seems to be plenty modifiable and adaptable. It's pretty modular and there are plenty of active forks of it: Edge, Brave, Opera, etc.
I've heard a lot of poor excuses designed to distract from the ruling class and their exploitation of everyone and everything, but this one is just lazy.

Interesting.

Is it that or is it that someone doesn't want to pay for those industrial-scale air cleaners?

I got a little interested in particulate air quality during covid so I ran across the entrepreneurs selling them. You can probably make the air in a quarry as clean as in a surgery room, if you're willing to pay.
In this case, it's not clear if the guilty plea was for embezzlement of all the money or got reduced to some minor misdemeanor that looks like a marijuana conviction on a background check. But still somebody will look past it on check, even Anthony Levandowski got investor money after his convictions.
Yes, I work on the code when I have time, and you are right—there is never enough of it.

My original background in programming wasn't in Lisp, but when I read pg's essays about Lisp, I decided to learn it, and since then I...switched over.
Depends on where you were. Growing up in orange county, CA, I only remember pay before you pump, even before card readers. Nobody used a credit card for gas back then, but if they did, it would be recorded on a carbon sales slip with an imprint machine and mailed into the processor.

When I went on long driving trips, gas station attendants would be confused when I went in to get $20 on pump three but hadn't pumped. I haven't been out on the road and paying cash for gas in a long time though, I think there's probably some stations where you can pay inside after you pump.
Good, but not great, plus the thrill of it, plus the perception of risk lowers with more successful attempts
Why weren't you using swap?
My guess is that evolution in general has adapted on some level to dust from granite. It was around before land based animals. Just like it has adapted to trace quantities of other poisonous and harmful stuff.

Engineered stone might not be exact analogy granite dust, but different in way that prevent these mechanism to be effective.
Yes, that is what I meant, I always had problems with it. Iirc Android uses the mtp protocol for file transfer, it is not like accessing external storage. Before I can read / write files to the phone's storage I have to perform some steps on the phone's UI (this already rules out doing this while the phone is off); the exact steps changed between android versions. And then if I manage to remember, not all files and directories are visible.

With a pocketbook, you connect it and it is like you attached a USB stick.
Generating/collecting 200TB of data is however entirely normal in some professions. Something Google should be and almost certainly is aware of.

In your analogy it would be Amazon setting up an S3 front on their corporate unlimited Google account. That didn't happen, it was just someone with more data than average. Google knows very well what the distribution looks like.

> So instead of 2 years to develop silicosis it will instead take 4 years of working with the "safe alternatives"?

I’m not sure it works like that?

With many things, a lower dose gives more time for repair mechanisms so the effect of a reduction could be outsized. I’d like to see some data.

Also, granite is likely more expensive. So less of it will be used.
Bluez 5.71 – support for the core Bluetooth layers and protocols
Although good materials, acrylics and laminates are not quite as durable as engineered stone countertops. They tend to show more wear over time, and are more prone to damage from extreme heat etc. Some may consider the look and feel of stone to be more "premium".

But of course they're cheaper and lighter and probably still cheaper than stone even if you end up replacing them a couple of times over the lifetime of the kitchen...

Polished concrete is another decent alternative to engineered stone, although again perhaps not as durable.

One of my favourite tools, I use it almost daily at org level to find related code.
I’m not really excited about this; Meta has no strong incentive to be a long term good neighbor in the fediverse, but plenty of incentive to engage in poor behavior. No matter how sincere or well meaning leadership is now, a quarterly loss or stagnant profit will eventually push them to turn to some market capture or embrace, extend, extinguish behavior.

I’m not the only one who feels this way. A number of instances are prepping to partially or fully block Threads from the get-go.

Even without Meta, I’m not excited for another 1M+ instance. My experience is that the larger an instance is, the worse it is. Less community, worse moderation, more bad actors hiding in plain sight. You just can’t toss people into a generalist million people scrum and expect them to form a digital community.

If you’re on mastodon.social, you’re not experiencing the best of the fediverse IMO. Find a small instance of your interest (<500 people) and interact with the local timeline. People on my instance recognize me, make in jokes, I chat with the admin and mods, it’s like actual digital neighborhood. It’s really the closest we’ve gotten back to forums and I don’t think dumping a bucket of FAANG-style corporate water on it is the answer.

CppGuard: C/C++ developer tool for detecting deadlocks
I have written a C/C++ tool to find deadlocks under Windows. It should not replace existing tools but extend the tool collection.
The tool does monitor Windows Critical Sections and std::mutex. This allows you to test whole programs (or a DLL) or source code parts that are not testable with ThreadSanitizer under Linux. It uses the deadlock algorithm from the C++ library Abseil.
The API monitoring works like that: The header file cppguard.hpp is automatically included in all source files using the Visual Studio option “Forced Include File”. Macros like #define EnterCriticalSection(x) cppguard_enter_critical_section(x) will intercept the API call. This works better than expected.
Later I want to try to extend the tool to find memory and handle leaks as well. On other idea is to provide robustness test e.g. sockets functions will return an error now and then. However, the tool should always remain fast.
Ask HN: How to be good at an Ops-focused role?
Recently I had to transition to an Ops-focused (Pipelines, cloud, cloud networking, kubernetes etc..) role. Compared to back-end and front-end programming, there are many moving parts and not everything is in code (Although to some extent IaC is being used).

Looking for valuable guidance on finding my way through the system, and general guidance for being good at ops side.
Medical data shows that people who work in mines develop silicosis some of the time.

Cutting natural stone is not a 100% safe occupation (like almost every occupation).

The specific difference here in the case in Australia is that since Engineered Stone first entered the Australian market in the early 2000’s medical data shows a significant rise in silicosis cases.

It's not that Before Engineered Stone was 100% safe,

it's that Post Engineered Stone appears to be considerably less safe.

Maybe it's the resin, maybe it's the particle size that's so uniform, maybe it's a coincidence . . .
>I can understand if the company manages to corner the market by selling below cost and then jacks up the price way above cost,

That's usually what happens. And Google is no stranger to it given Youtube and to some extent Chrome (which is "free" but also being molded to more or less have DRM on the browser level).

Cloud is fortunatly still competitive, but I can't say the same for many other tech markets.

You do realise many very popular artists of the past including Rubens, Raphael and others had large studios where their "apprentices" actually made the paintings. Especially when these studios hot big, how much of each actual painting was physically made by "the artist" and how much was dobę by the apprentices? Perhaps just a sketch, perhaps not even that, but the head artist just made suggestions not unlike the promotes of today.
Interesting. I've wanted to learn a Lisp since reading his essays almost 15 years ago, but never had a chance until this year.

Unfortunately it wasn't the best circumstances to learn Clojure - I was taking ownership of a codebase that had lost all its developers, and was fairly complicated. I wonder whether I should try to learn Arc for fun sometime.
Totally agree both on the intended use case (see some project where some library is being used and how) and result — most often finding bupkis.
Worked well for me, great job. I searched for something I've been looking for and found some interesting options I haven't seen before.
Making something more efficient but also more useful can still make it more expensive because significantly more people will now use it.

In principle they could make it all login only, but hosting open source repositories is one of the main charters of GitHub or at least it was. So it makes sense and is consistent with that vision to keep code browsing free without login. Not to mention the requirement to be available on search engines.

Code search however doesn’t seem like it’s some mandatory part of that mission, I mean all they’re asking is that you login. People in this thread seem to have a chip on their shoulder believing corporations should just give them compute for free. No they don’t!
It’s also that relatively few people are affected. That’s approximately one in 100,000 people, twice as many people in the United States were murdered in 2015. It is really easy to know nobody who died from asbestos.
I guess they could attempt to do so, but under extremely severe low memory conditions, the prompt (especially if its graphical) has a good chance of not reaching the user's screen in any reasonable time. That's why it has to decide without external I/O.

I stopped using Dropbox years ago after they had the gall to delete some of my files and email a warning that pirated files weren't permitted. Except that they weren't pirated files - they were MP3s ripped from my own CDs for my own personal use. That's when I realized that they actually scan your files and there was no privacy, completely unacceptable. For some years I've used Sync.com, which is vastly better, but sadly their software and systems are completely broken once you get beyond a certain total size of file data (probably around 1TB, but they're happy to take your money for much more space, which can't be used because of their system bugs.)
They did add support for the whole rdna2/3 series to windows. But only support for 7900xt/xtx were added to linux for some reason. And softwere in title seems actually ran on linux.

Besides that, I don't think I ever heard that they supports container at all.
Do you have any paper/talk that gives more details about the "geometric XOR filter"? If not, is there any plan to publish something?

I agree, we could do better with the movement UX. A challenge for another day.
I, for one, am not afraid of manually building a stack to self-host an application. I'd prefer it over Docker in fact, because it makes everything exposed, and as an admin, I love to know what I'm tinkering with.

However, the docs should be good. No hidden layers, no skimped over steps, no "insert some magic here". It's your app, you know it by heart, but I'm just getting to know it.

If you do this as an established application or a developer which also sell your product as a SaaS, I assume that you're doing it in bad faith, and move on.

I appreciate the honest intent response, but for an artist that has had zero traction (~7-20 monthly listeners) on Spotify since about 2018 {But solid growth on YouTube and other platforms}, it's disheartening that embedded players don't play full tracks and count those plays. As I am not a popular artist on the platform, the minute a user clicks on my embedded Spotify player, almost every action they take thereafter steers them away from my music, making it extra hard to build a Spotify following, when even my first preview song may have been what brought them to the Spotify site/app.

YouTube, soundcloud, audiomack, pretty much every other audio platform allows embedded players and playlists that allow non-logged-in users to preview full songs. Spotify used to, but quietly changed over time in the past 2 years. As a rights holder, I get paid more from TikTok and youtube for even clips of my songs being played. I have to disagree with the ideal that Spotify doesn't limit artists in this way... Somehow major artists can also on twitter and other sites share full preview songs from Spotify to even non-logged-in users via links, highlighting a deep contradiction in the policies you cite.

If you go to any artist page and navigate to the embed menu item, the embed playlist function on profiles shows/plays full songs as an example for the embed code, which is also quite misleading to artists that want to share their own Spotify music list. When using a single track link on social media sites, on mobile most times clicks don't even play the correct artist song, and on desktop, as soon as an independent artist's song is played, the next song is one by another artist, instead of logical behavior of playing another track by the original (linked) artist... These behaviors are different than many other sites, and there really aren't logical reasons behind that behavior other than to steer listeners towards popular artists and advertising artists as my best guess.

Embedding spotify music player only serves to steer listeners away from the artist sites the music players are embedded on, as they work within an iframe, even when I'm logged in, the embedded player plays only clips of full tunes, so I'm compelled to see it as a shortcut to only promoting what Spotify wants people to hear, rather than all music by unsuspecting artists that embed the player that assume it behaves normally and usefully as a music promotion tool.

I built this a couple years ago (now defunct) for the same reason :) The public JSON endpoints on shopify stores make it pretty easy to get the data. You mentioned using Mongo but it sounds expensive. I honestly think you could do this with just elastic or even postgres full text search and save money.

Here's a pro tip + feature you should implement: Shopify has a semi-hidden hack where you can link directly to checkout of a product if you know the variant ID. You could add a BUY NOW button to your site without forcing the user to navigate the original site or checkout flow. Example:
https://hapaboardshop.com/cart/42165521907955
(it also supports quantities and coupon codes)

A word of caution: more products isn't necessarily better. I definitely found there to be a long tail of really bad shopify stores and products. IMO it's better to curate or audit the stores you index–otherwise you risk your site being littered with kitchy t-shirts or drop-shipping garbage.
In terms of the live viewer, there's actually no limit on footprint size. 300 m^2 is simply the biggest indoor capture we had!

You can suspend a process, drop some caches, and even swap them to disk, if the memory approaches critical levels, or better yet, you can set a watermark that suspend the process and prompts you before it gets to that.
One could argue it is.. And it is reduced and replaced in some adaption to stressful environs? A traumatized system consists mostly of flashbacks and instant reactions to the stimulus.

A paranoid adaptation to a hostile world shirks conscious perception of complexity for a "all things are enemy out to get me" minimalistic consciousness as it would be found in a hunted mouse. The more dangerous the environment becomes the more reduced cognition seems to be. Assuming now that most civilizations destroy the environment they are in, longterm evolution should award subconscious processing.. That is focused on longterm instinct behavior.

Such a adaptation would present itself as worship of one's own gut feelings as divine being whos instructions and recommendations point towards less conscious processing and more optimization towards the environment, which does not reward consciousness and it's products:music, art, literature but rewards more offspring by continued existence.

Watts seemed pretty correct to me and the billions in subsistence or warzones arguing in religious mobs for less conscious processing seem to agree.

You are correct on the brain needed for conscious controlled cognition being expensive, thus only being able to be kept around by a scientific calorie surplus producing society.

Without that the universal Fermi trap closes shut, the individual forever adapting towards a barely conscious tool using tribal entity.

AMD built "Heterogeneous System Architecture" for their APUs to do the same thing, but since their APUs all ended up mostly targeting cheap/low-power/low-profile laptops and business machines, it was never actually utilized (from what I've been able to find, there's no public API to actually use this as designed and you still have to copy things from "system RAM" to "GPU RAM" even though the hardware was designed to support zero-copy, whereas Apple has made it all automatic when you use Metal)
> claiming that she "self-identified as black"

What's wrong with that? If I understood it correctly, in the US someone identifies as whatever they want, by law.

Since such a provision isnin place it is normal that people will use it to their advantage. If I was American and, say, being black have me some advantages at the university I would certainly try to identify as Afro-American despite being white, blond and blue-eyed.

Doesn't this happen often? Who then decides that you are not black/white/whatever enough?
