So I had horrible RSI wrist pain using a computer that no ergo keyboard or touchpad/mouse could solve and I did eventually figure out the source and get better, in part from discussions here on HN. Talking to other people who overcame RSI, they recommended the book The Mindbody Prescription by Dr. John Sarno. So I got the book and I did get better, even though over 90% of the book is Freudian quackery I just skimmed over.

The 10% meat of the book presents evidence the brain has the ability to control bloodflow to extremities. For example, we all know an embarrassed person can blush red in the face due to increased bloodflow caused by the brain processing the emotion of embarrassment. And reproductive arousal certainly involves bloodflow to various regions (not just genitals, but also lips and nipples for women, etc.).

So the theory is that the brain can restrict bloodflow to the arms which causes the numbness and burning that so many with RSI wrist/hand pain experience. The brain does this to us in response to us not processing certain negative emotions. In my case it was abuse from a parent I never consciously thought about. The book goes into stories such as a woman who was sexually abused by her father who, once she began consciously processing her hurt and rage, literally started crying out the chronic pain in her back. I had a somewhat similar experience, but slower and less dramatic. I had tremendous anger at the abusive parent and telling myself "I AM MAD AS F---ING HELL" made the pain go away.

Before this I literally tried thousands on ergo equipment, tried stretches and exercises and pushups and all that, none of it worked. It was my brain causing the problem, and my reluctance to not see it as a brain health issue made my healing process much slower.

It certainly points in that direction but it does make me wonder what it’d look like with n>1. Anything crewed would be more conservative but you’d also want that for other things - it’d be really bad if you had a correlated failure on an entire satellite network after a freak event or because a problem only showed up, say, 4 years in.
If searching, it is "Fail Safe 1964", which also adds another layer of meaning.

That being said - there's something to be said for enterprise support. Are there plans to support importing/converting/running third party OVAs? Many vendors will support something running in KVM, I can't recall the last time I saw b-hyve as a supported hypervisor.

> Current moves far faster than electrons.

Current is the movement of charges. It cannot “move” faster than said charges. (Or, perhaps, you meant the electomotive force that makes the electrons move along the wire, then sure, that thing spreads pretty quickly.)
> it’s almost certainly not, or you would see epidemiological evidence for chains of transmission. prion diseases require contact transmission which is all but absent from the alzheimer’s story.

I think what the parent comment is saying is, what if it isn't transmitted, what if a prion is just occurring in the brains of the people who develop alzheimers?

That seems unlikely to me, but on the other hand, the article seems to be suggesting that transferring brain proteins from people with alzheimers to people who are younger will cause them to develop alzheimers which would be roughly consistent with that.

I don't know whether that would be possible, but, for example, what if there was somehow a specific protein in the brain that could easily be misfolded to become a prion, and the eventually if people live long enough they tend to produce that prion at least once, so it occurs essentially as a result of old age, but it can theoretically also be transmitted in the manner described in the article?

For now, the new algorithm hasn’t actually been used to solve any logistical problems, since it would take too much work updating today’s programs to make use of it. But for Rothvoss, that’s beside the point. “It’s about the theoretical understanding of a problem that has fundamental applications,” he said.

I don't see how "it would take to much work updating today's programs". Most domain specific models call out to Gurobi, CPLEX, or FICO solvers for large problems, and open source ones like SCIP for the small ones. There is a standard MPS format where you can run exchange models between all of these solvers, and the formulation of the problem shouldn't change, just the solving approach inside the solver.

Can someone enlighten me? I could see if they are arguing, this will require a new implementation, and if so, there is a ton of benefit the world would see from doing so.

I've just stuck with a single printed page, placed inside the bag and it's outside pockets, with my flight and multiple sets of contact details. However, I haven't lost a bag over hundreds of flights while doing this, so am unsure of the effectiveness.... guess at least the ritual has been working in terms of heading off a loss proactively!
Three key issues that I'd raise:

When austerity kicked in, most forces offered redundancy to long-serving officers on good contracts. At the depths of the austerity era, the police practically gave up on investigation - outside of CID and other specialist department, the sheer volume of work forced the police into a purely reactive posture, dealing only with the most urgent and visible problems in the quickest way possible. When funding started to pick back up, they brought new and inexperienced staff into a dysfunctional service. The number of officers isn't down that much compared to pre-austerity levels, but huge amounts of institutional learning was lost.

A lack of resourcing and policy failures in the mental health system meant that the police - the public service of last resort - had to pick up the slack. It's now quite normal for officers to spend a substantial proportion of their time dealing with mental health calls that fundamentally aren't a police matter, or to spend an entire shift waiting to hand over an s.135/s.136 patient to a place of safety.

A lack of funding in the Courts Service and the Criminal Prosecution Service has created a huge bottleneck in the criminal justice pipeline. Cases are taking years to get to court, hearings are being repeatedly re-scheduled and the CPS have tacitly set a much higher bar on the quality of case they're willing to prosecute, all of which has an obvious impact on police resources, recidivism and the wellbeing of victims.

Dysfunction in British policing is part of a much broader dysfunction of the British state as a whole. There's a consistent story across the whole of the public sector - under-resourced services are dealing with an increasingly complex and demanding workload, because vulnerable people are being failed by multiple parts of the state simultaneously. Teachers rarely see students who are [i]just[/i] struggling in school; those kids invariably have home lives that are marred with multiple socioeconomic problems. Doctors spend most of their time treating people who aren't [i]just[/i] ill, but who are also poor and lonely and living in inadequate housing. If you'll forgive the double entendre, it's a death by a thousand cuts - services that don't have the resources to cope with their own workload are having to pick up the pieces for other services, creating a vicious circle of rising demand.
People are assuming the printers (or razors) are actually unprofitable, just by themselves.

That's possible, and there are "loss leaders" in industries and in retail, but I'd like to see the proof. Maybe the printer refills make it a great business and the printers alone are merely a good business?

If you want to learn about Message Queues firsthand (and you should if you care about CS) I recommend implementing some with ZeroMQ. (I love the joke in the article about it being "zero effort" xD) There are many, many forms of queues, and you can implement most of them with ZeroMQ. There's tons of examples in many different languages, and lots of guides and docs to help you. Even considering all that, it will still be a pain to get the queues working, and that pain will help reinforce the purpose behind different queue architectures, and why it's so nice to have COTS message queues.

That said, if you want a customizeable FOSS message queue stack, use NATS. I'm not aware of a better, more complete solution designed for custom integration.

As far as backups go, I prefer the fire-and-forget method where you just image the entire drive and dig into it when you actually need something. Using separate drives for root and home makes it easier. Backup to backblaze to fulfill 3-2-1. Storage is just so cheap it's not worth the effort to try to get it efficient. I also find its not worth the effort to migrate bookmarks and stuff (I just rarely revisit them) and use a NAS for the bigger stuff like pirated media. 1password and Firefox sync take care of everything else.

I usually restore dot files and other home directory stuff from Git using the procedure described in this HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11071754

Dev environments are predominantly implemented using nix, flakes, and direnv on a per project basis so there's no migration there.

I've got a few scripts that dump a list of major packages installed on my ArchLinux system so I can reinstall them in bulk instead of chasing them down one by one afterwards. Another script to go through the file system and delete all the rust target folders, node's node_modules, etc. and a list of caches (yarn, docker, etc.)

I keep the data forever as a hoarder since drives are so cheap but I very rarely have to look through them.

From the comments of the article:

> A possible link would be that more progressive countries have more immigrants from places with higher fertility rates, and these immigrants are the ones pushing the TFR up.

Seems to me that this factor, when you can bring yourself to ignore the controversy of implied adjacent ideas, is one that can't be ignored if we want to understand the dynamics of culture, economics and fertility. To say that a liberal culture has a higher fertility rate is to ignore that liberal cultures often import populations from very conservative cultures. It's possible that the cultural differences between the European populations are negligible that if immigrant fertility were taken into account the line of best fit in these graphs would be flat. Or they could be inverse, or similar, we just don't know. But to ignore the possible effect is to not seriously strive to understand this dynamic.

I commented on here recently about my own personal issues with Libertarianism.

There's definitely some things that ring true (government is inefficient and too much government can lead to authoritarianism and massive human suffering), but their beliefs typically go too far IMO and they treat a huge amount of grey areas as if everything is black and white. Regulation freaking stinks, but is necessary in a lot of cases. We're much better off with the EPA and FDA than without them despite their significant flaws. They seem to ignore the fact that our actions have consequences, and thus your freedom can encroach on my freedom.
I have no idea why anyone would assume assertions made in social media comments are true.

I could write "Humans have actually always had blue skin and hair, but due to a cosmic ray warping our ocular nervous response systems 1000 years ago, we now see humans the way we see them today". And I'd damn well hope someone would ask me to back this absurdity up with evidence.

... and thus: "lalalala I can't hear youuuuuuuuu over the sound of being right!" doesn't make for a good look, is basically what I'm telling you, and asking you to please either cite some sources, or stop doubling down on having to be right because you said so. This is such a ridiculous exchange I'd swear I was having it as an elementary school teacher.
I agreed with you on the ad-hoc part. The thing is Oracle guys have made significant improvement in MySQL 8.0, including the Volcano-style executor.

They also implemented DPhyp join reorder algorithm but with an ad-hoc IR. The join optimizer IR(they call it RelationalExpression) is based on relational algebra. I think this is a good start.

Linear programming is very cool, I loved Vasek Chvatal's book as a kid having accidently bought it thinking it was for computers.

But it's tricky to understand and implement and it struggles with real life constraints. i.e. This whole specialty just for integers.

Monto Carlo is trivial to understand and implement, adapts to changes and constraints trivially and should be just as good.

I'm sure for something high end like chip design you will do both. I'd be surprised to hear of real life stories where linear programming beats Monty Carlo.
