> I'm not allowed to do it when I feel the need to do it. Almost feeling like I'm strangling myself if I keep it up for more than a cycle or two.

I can relate.

Maybe I can offer a suggestion?

Coarsely there are two fundamental ways to approach relaxation breathing:

# The "anything goes" way

Comfortable pose, breathe at the rhythm and location your body feels like it wants to. Lay a hand whereever you feel the breathing happening. Observe the breathing, its location, rhythm, airflow.

There is no reference point so anxiety usually pop up with questions like "Am I doing this right? Was that inhale too fast/slow?", answer that with: there is no right or wrong way, there is just what is, right now. Maybe it's faster than last time, maybe it's slower; maybe it happens higher or lower. Doesn't matter, all that does is that you realise it doesn't matter, observe while noting then letting go of parasite thoughts, and go through with the exercise. This distances judgemental thoughts away.

# The structured way

4s box breathing and 4-7-8 breathing fall into that category.

Comfortable pose, one hand on chest - which aims to stay still - and one hand on abs - which aims to move -, the purported goal being to aim for diaphragmatic breathing.

It is also about being observant, it does not really matter if you miss the mark, or if your chest moves. The structure aims to provide a guiding pace, like a tow boat.

Anxiety kicks in in two ways:

a) Since there's a structure to follow, there's a reference point, and when you inevitably veer off, thoughts like "I'm doing it wrong" or "I can't do this".

b) Holding breath triggers physical fight-or-flight response, which the anxious mind is prone to listen to, and thus abort, which makes same mind think "I can't do this, I fail" in a vicious feedback loop.

Again, in both cases it's about being observant and not judgemental, essentially taking a moment to breathe is all that matters, even if it's a few seconds, so really the only way to "fail" is to not do it. Anxiety is some internal compass being off, triggering all sorts of fight-or-flight responses; by learning to be observant, anxiety is not eliminated, instead it takes a backseat, breaking the runaway feedback loop.

It's like you sprained an ankle, were incapacitated for a while, and then when the tissue damage is fixed you can't stand in balance on just that leg. That's normal, of course your ankle is weak, your sensations are off and fuzzy, your muscles can't react, what else to expect! That's where physiotherapy helps, relearning how to stand, move, walk, and it's uneasy at first, and it gets better over time.

Personally I had a very hard time even breathing in then holding my breath for 3~4s (heart pounding, growing panic state), so I found that "anything goes" helped me a lot in achieving 4-7-8, and in turn 4-7-8 helped me a lot in achieving 4s box breathing.
Yes but that's not the full story... .It's true that the odds of dying from anaphylaxis are low, IF treated in time.

The sad thing is that the vast majority of all deaths from allergic reactions are preventable.

Things like not acting immediately and injecting Epipen in the first few minutes, not following up with a 2nd shot if no improvement in 15min. Having expired pens. Kids grow, and need larger pens. Teacher panics and uses pen upside down. Kids try foods as a teen or when they leave home as they "used to be allergic"

As the parent of an Parent of anaphylactic 7 year old - the fear is real. Low odds, but catastrophic outcome.

We are lucky that my partner is a nurse and we are knowledgable and manage places we go, but daycare, schools, birthday situations etc are a worry

The energy impact is at least plausibly subzero; the sites are chosen for sending lots of bytes, like Youtube. If Youtube is shut down, your site doesn't have the outgoing capacity to send as many bytes per second as Youtube does.

Also, the first step to abuse it is to effect a partial shutdown of the Swiss power grid, which will… I suppose it will be easier than effecting a partial shutdown of gravity ;)

> Out of all of my abandoned side-projects, this was the one that made me think differently. Even if I would never actually use the end 'deliverable', working on the project still indirectly achieved what I'd set out to do. That led me to an important realisation: we talk a lot about abandoned side-projects as "failed", but their success is really a matter of perspective.

Very much agreed here, abandoning things helps us eventually priortise other things that we learned from the exercise of building the original thing. I briefly wrote about a similar experience on how thinking too much about maintaining a project for a longer period of time is not really a good idea.

I hope the EU calls them on this and mandates that they offer equivalent OS API support for 3rd party browsers to implement PWAs to what Safari had at the time their initial ruling was made. Let's then watch how fast Apple restores PWA capabilities to Safari when web sites are actively encouraging users to install third party browsers so that PWA's keep working.
If you want something specific, and not just some boring base-model Corolla or whatever, buying used is very difficult.
Anecdotally I've heard of people getting discounts from the dealer by buying on finance, then asserting the right to cancel within 14 days* and paying cash instead. AIUI the dealer doesn't have to accept the cash, and could take the car back, but then they lose the sale, so they generally just suck it up.

First things first, pharma companies are OK with cures. Cures bring money as well, and some cures bring them patient trust.

Pharma companies aren't the only factor here either. Insurance companies, patients, and governments are definitely invested in cures. Preventative measures are OK with these groups as well - vaccines are one of these. Not all research is by big pharma either.

You are assuming other things bring magic profit when they don't do that as efficiently as you think.

Curing one disease doesn't cure them all, and there would still be profit to be made off of your other sicknesses. Probably especially those tied to lifestyle.

You are also assuming that we know how to cure the diseases we have treatments for. This is the real reason we don't have more cures - we know a good deal about the body, but there is a good deal we simply don't know.

It isn't that I think these folks are innocent - I have anger towards those exploiting sick folks to make obscene profits and the industry is greedy - but I don't buy your argument at all. It doesn't allow for the nuance that actual life has and only works if you don't look below the surface.

Teslas (like all EVs) need a lot less service than the average ICE, and when you do need it, you can order Tesla's mobile service to come to your house and complete most servicing right then and there.

Most Tesla service horror stories I've heard about involve major accidents requiring repairs with long waits/high prices for parts, but you get a loaner to tide you over and any decent insurance handles the bill.

Maintaining a developer toolkit for Windows and Linux is a major hurdle.

If they intentionally prevent a third party Xcode-compatible implementation from existing, that’s monopolistic behavior. If they don’t want to provide it themselves, it’s a rightful business choice and theirs to make, in my book.

Is someone travelling from location A to B and able to bring a parcel for me?
I don't live in my home country and whenever I travelled back, I got a lot requests from people I know to bring some things for them from home. That is when I thought of building `brings`, that would help connect two people, one of which is travelling between locations and another one who needs their item brought between those locations.
There are a lot of improvement that we already have in mind, but would appreciate your feedback as well.
Thank you.

Every car needs service, repairs, part replacement. Everything physical cannot be done OTA. And Tesla sucks at that, no question about that.

Revenue doesn't really matter, you should look at profits. Amazon makes most of their revenue from the website, but pretty much all of their profits come from cloud. The tech giant business model is to dominate distribution and extract profits by self preferencing. Im sure apple's services division is a good portion of their profits.

I'm pretty sure they do, and they make even more money because the guy buying the car for the company isn't using his own money. Lots of tradesman in Australia drive enormous shiny blingmobile trucks maxed out with every available option, because they can be written off as a business expense.
Interesting that is the case with an Oracle product. Even the name of the company is shrouded in myth. Apparently Larry worked on some government project called Oracle before founding the company, and liked the personalised acronym he could make of the word. But if that is considered by him to be an official acronym is (was) the subject of debate for quite some time.

In C#, interleaving various tasks is as easy as

var data1 = service1.GetData();
var data2 = service2.GetAnotherData();

var aggregate1 = Aggregate(await data1);

var result = Handle(await aggregate1, await data2);

No need to deal with writing three lines per each operation to just schedule it in a "fork" way like in Java. In "colorless" (which is always a lie) async runtimes you have to go out of your way to make it concurrent. Perhaps Erlang process isn't coarse grained abstraction as you say, but there are multiple aspects that make Erlang problematic. And again, I will not tire of repeating it - the article about function coloring is actively harmful to the industry and is leading hundreds of developers with concurrency knowledge gaps assume that they need to avoid Task/Future-based code like plague when it is actually the best abstraction we have today for massively concurrent processes (if it was badly designed in whatever language of your choice - sorry).

In addition, because Task<T> is a thread-safe object in C#, you can apply all kinds of transformations and data chaining with LINQ on collections/sequences of those, or even together with parallel LINQ and tasks at the same time. Your simple average code will easily scale to all CPU cores if it does not have interdependencies/contention (a lot of LOB codebases don't, it's all straight line up to a DB or a third-party call(s)).

And last but not least, all BEAM-based languages are comparatively slow (hard performance ceiling is always imposed if you don't pay with static typing and full JIT/AOT) and unfortunately suffer from high heap footprint, even compared to the more throughput-focused GC modes in .NET and GC implementations in JVM. But no, developers are insistent on parroting quotes said 10 to 15 years ago instead of at least attempting to assess technologies on their merits of today.

I did not mean to say that Apple will get away with this, it's just that I don't expect the EU to be exactly fast in its response. As the FA says, it will take its sweet time and by then Apple will have reinforced their dominant position. Of course Apple and their legal teams already know that.
This should extend to dumb (boring) tech stack/architecture. Not sure what it is that makes people choose some crazy complex tech to implement systems used internally by a few hundred people. Scalability? Really!? UI that in no way needs to be reactive using React or Angular? Oh, and we need a workflow engine. And we are moving to the cloud, so rather than some simple flask built api, learn and deal with FaaS stuff. And then good luck deploying updates. Crazy.
It wasn't that bad, you could renumber programs with a single command if you got stuck with no room to insert a line.
You could multiplex the probe grid along rows and columns like pixels on an LCD screen. Would make the probing take a bit longer but you'd still save time since you don't need to manually hook stuff up.
The number of apologists and distractors in this comments section honestly makes me feel like it's been brigaded. I'm amazed, given how well informed this crowd typically is.

As for the topic being discussed - Apple have gone out of their way for the last _decade_ to avoid implementing things like ServiceWorkers properly. I remember having this same conversation back in 2015. It is a real shame, as things like the proposed w3c sensors api would totally eliminate the pain of deploying private/internal/enterprise apps to a fleet of employees, for example. There is so much that this enables for private apps. I won't be surprised if their decade+ old viewport meta tag reference documentation for home screen icons and status bar styling in full screen mode stops working at some point too - it's been neglected for years. It'll be a weird, heartbreaking example of corporate revisionism, especially considering Steve Jobs' original vision for apps on the iphone.

I'm not a huge fan of the big G either, but I honestly hope they take advantage of this with some clever (non-developer) product-centric marketing. PWAs are a very well thought out approach to 90% of what modern apps are. We absolutely should be sandboxing private browser instances per PWA, not shipping entire separate webkit wrappers for every app every time an app is updated. It's almost literally the same difference as shipping layered container images as updates instead of
giant VM blobs. Such a huge loss.
Not GP but it sounds very interesting to me.
Have you ever seen a group able to operate the way you described?
Coincidentally some Indian brothers were responsible for that as well!
“Literally”? Can you elaborate?
I’d like to quickly address the second paragraph. From my experience, iPhones last until their software support runs out, barring any accidents. Furthermore, PWAs need not be offline applications (so TFA overblows the data loss potential ever so slightly) but often work exactly like you want them to.

I use the Outlook PWA. It’s great because I don’t have to let my company manage (part of) my phone.
Fractal Scaling and the Aesthetics of Trees
Funny that the reverse has already happened due to Apple's lackluster support of PWAs. PWAs run with the system's browser engine, unlike Electron apps that ship with their own customized Chromium engine. Each app is only a few megabytes tops, unlike the hundreds of megabytes of bloat native apps tend to take up nowadays.
Very interesting read, but the author has some peculiar notions about history. Why would is it intriguing that early experimentation with electricity would use clumsy measuring methods, or that the transcontinental telegraph preceded transcontinental telephone in the US by 50 years? It all sounds perfectly logical to me.

Although I agree with the article and the obvious sh!t move Apple is making, one needs to keep making a distinction between PWAs and web apps in general. Not every 'web app' needs local storage or push notifications.

Besides, I heard the 'simple' web apps still can have a place on the homescreen. Can anybody with an iPhone tell me if that works like the video from the article? Is it just with an address bar?

No I think you are mistaking the mechanism that enables this policy for some kind of Safari magic that tries to detect the purpose of the stored data.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Storage_API...

> Safari proactively evicts data when cross-site tracking prevention is turned on. If an origin has no user interaction, such as click or tap, in the last seven days of browser use, its data created from script will be deleted. Cookies set by server are exempt from this eviction.

It doesn't matter what the data actually is or whether it is used to track users. Safari deletes it.

Safari does support extensions. And it has built-in Reader mode. And it needs none of that for this case since the website loads perfectly fine with no zigzagging required.

What Apple is doing sucks, for sure, but let’s not lose sight of reality and make stuff up or misinform people.
This is pretty cool! I like the idea of small platforms to connect people with a specific need. I see why requester would log an entry on the site, but what would make a traveler think "oh, I should go make a post on this website" every time they travel, especially if it's unlikely anyone takes them up on the offer, they might just never do it. It also might be nice if someone could make a recurring/constant post, if they travel back and forth between places, say every week. Overall this seems like a great idea, and I hope that it takes off (though making small platforms is really hard).

Also, maybe this should be a Show HN post, so it shows up on https://news.ycombinator.com/show?

Emacs is not dying, but I don't know if it is well. I feel that for non-lisp developers it is only the last choice. Ecosystem is split between eglot and LSP, so you have to choose between debugger availability and performance for many languages. You have to do a lot of work to stop emacs opening buffers left and right on every occasion. Load times and micro-stutters make it a hard sell.

Some amazing work was done in last years with jit compilation, but also some, imo bad decisions were done with the way treesitter was introduced. I love the introspection and self-documentation of emacs, but I just cannot justify using it after neovim, which is very sleek with telescope and mason, easier to configure, fast and just aesthetically more pleasant, to be honest. Maybe if I would not need editors for programming, I would be more interested in org-mode, but on itself it is not enough to keep me in emacs.
