I just signed up for Polar and am confused.

I was under the impression, maybe wrongly, that this was a kickstarter-like service but for software.

Now after logging in, if I’m understanding correctly, it seems to be a paid newsletter platform (like Substack).

Can someone explain.

Because I’m very confused after signup.
Because birth certificates don't have DNA. Social security numbers were never meant to be used for identification. Etc.

Scientists investigate dead Antarctic penguins for bird flu
Mouthwash kills the good bacteria as well. Better off using chips gum to stimulate natural saliva which helps in reducing bad bacteria.
It's interesting they talk more about visual embellishments (aged paper, vintage looking finish) than acoustic properties. What is it about Stradivari or other hand made instruments that make them so coveted, are desirable sonic characteristics measurable and traceable to manufacturing techniques? Or is it all just halo effect?
Half the price of github is not great right now, this space is heating up! Ubicloud is 10x cheaper and https://runs-on.com is in the same ballpark by using spot instances. (Currently switching to RunsOn)
Wow, that API looks pretty awkward and unpleasant, with the co_yield, co_return, etc. Golang has spoiled me.

Edit: @gloryjulio I'm sure it works fine, it's just so unergonomic to express compared to Golang. But this is nothing new with C++, it can do anything.. might not be pretty, but it can do it.
What a load of ramble and bile for a simple question

at least part of my guess was correct i see. you strike as the type to ask lots of 'simple' questions.

'bile', lol. what a flowery and poetic insult. thanks.

When you are before a judge who is questioning your identity, seems like the time to pull out all the stops. Childhood friends, neighbors, pastor, estranged parents.
The search bar is excellent and being keyboard driven fast too.

The ribbon is also entirely keyboard-drivable and fast that way. I’ve seen the data on why it was introduced; it was a scaling issue- the old toolbars simply could no longer fit all the functionality in apps like Excel, so they made them context-aware.

As much as I like scripting languages, the fact that you cannot build a single statically-built executable is the main problem when it comes to distribution.

Go/Rust are miles ahead in that regard, and the only reason to use containers with them is the sandbox aspect.

(There are ways to create a self-contained executable including Python interpreter, code, and all dependencies, but it's far from ideal, and just going with Docker is a lot less problematic.)
I understand and completely get where you are coming from. People seldom thank you for pointing out their poor life choices :)

Through your own efforts and experience you have acquired a useful block of knowledge. I encourage you to share it in cases where that knowledge can make a difference to someone else.

But yeah, in the wrong context it can hurt more than help.
This myth is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the experiment conducted. The conclusion of the experiment was that the vocabulary used to describe wine is subjective, and that the chosen descriptors are most heavily influenced by the color of wine, the perceived cost of the wine, and the taster's opinion of whether it was a good wine or not.
I've participated in a blind wine tasting, and it was trivially easy for even complete amateurs to guess the right color of wine 100% of the time.
Probably just unfortunate timing when he met his wife, and then had to keep using the name for fear of losing his wife/girlfriend?
It's funny that the dynamic seems to be entirely reversed in criminal or collaterally-related-to-criminal matters since I could have told you by the time I graduated (and had been practicing on a limited license for a year) which attorney is more competent at what specific aspect of defense related work, and when I jumped to federal CJA work and then removals which is administrative entirely, it also took very little time to suss out the quality of not only other attorneys working on the defense side but the prosecutors and their proclivities, strengths, and weaknesses. In fact I think I'd be a pretty bad attorney in my field if I didn't pick up these things pretty quickly, and the question of recommendations only happen when there may be a conflict anyway, usually because it's pretty normal for a case to have more than one defendant. The biggest case I worked on had 68 and everybody ended up pleading but even with that, I feel like just seeing how different attorneys tackled the same basic case but from a slightly different angle gave a decent amount of insight, including how quickly they are able to get a plea worked out and how they approached collateral issues that always comes out of massive fishing expeditions. I mean, it's a service industry gig with a fancy title in the end and since law school didn't teach anything about lawyering - even legal writing didn't actually cover any client management and actual courtroom procedure, although the 2 weeks we spent on what was essentially a doxxing exercise was really helpful combined with some programming skills - it feels inevitable that through exposure on a daily basis one would get a feel pretty quick of others in your field.

And there's always reputations and word of mouth but I find that to actually be more or less on point when it comes to particular niches, like if you need someone who spoke a particular language or dialect, or someone who understood how to cross examine about technology and not have the jury fall asleep on you, or someone who can handle a child witness and someone who can't. It's not that different in the civil context, is it? There was even a prosecutor who was widely known to be susceptible to running himself into Batson challenges and sure enough the first trial I had against him he managed to dismiss every minority in the pool leaving me and the client the only two in the room which was glaring since the jurors began noticing that something was before we even got there. It was moot since we got a mistrial but if the opposing side is known to be generous with free issues to preserve for appeal you'd be on the lookout, wouldn't you? Or am I still overestimating how often civil attorneys end up in front of a jury broadly?
I genuinely wish them well. There has been scant but minor consumer flourishes in OSes for a long long time. Harmony's basis as a distributed multikernel (Linux, LiteOS, other?) OS, with DSoftBus connecting services is an aggressive leap forwards that looks so promising & neat; apps and devices working together (it reminds me of Webinos a bit). Their Ark development experience looks like a decent distillation/extension of JS/typescript, which could become a stable path in a still chaotic Js world.

The plan here sounds very open source oriented, which is promising & IMHO what it will take for Harmony to have staying power. But it feels like a kind of tumltous time for Harmony. Open Harmony and others feels like they're more than somewhat being left behind as Huawei advances a seemingly re-proprietarized HarmonyOS NEXT. Right when Harmony seemed to be coming into it's own, it feels torn. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HarmonyOS_NEXT

There's very few guides or experience out there on using Open Harmony. Huawei really seemed to have capture the Harmony market, and their recent sudden shift to proprietary is a huge barrier to this early OS keeping traction forwards. It's unclear how Open Harmony or other open source Harmony's are going to proceed. I hope they can create some good
I respect that. FWIW I just use three cards:

1. Apple Card which is 2% back on all Apple Pay

2. Costco Visa that does 3% on restaurants and travel

3. Amazon prime visa, 5% back on Amazon and Whole Foods. (This is just saved to my Amazon account so I don’t have to think about it.)

It’s pretty easy to remember to use the Costco card at restaurants.
The penalty for IP theft is monetary, and the monetary penalties are independent on whether it creates value.

Companies routinely sue people for distributing products they literally no longer sell, it does not matter. In the same way that when someone steals your tv, they don’t get to just return or pay for the TV if they’re caught.

If an AI company is consuming your work, it definitionally has value, and they have no more right to it than you have to any of their property.

Now if one of these companies is happy to let you take, use, and/or charge for their services without paying them then I’d wouldn’t consider them hypocritical thieves, but they don’t, so I don’t.

It like all the “AI” trained on OSS software. That has value to you, literally the entire look t of licenses like the GPL is that that software has value, and you are in no way giving it away for free, and the license explicitly requires compensation.
This article is getting hella flamed on the red site when I legitimately had conflated NixOS build reproducibility with NixOS being declarative.

Why people are denying this as a widespread thing and bringing functional programming into the mix (?) I have no clue.

I agree to with the other reply to my comment that stated "Also, as an individual, you should make decisions for yourself, not based on some population-wide study."

That is, the tough problem for scientific recommendations like PSA screenings is they essentially need to apply to everyone, and "everyone" has to take into account that most people don't understand how to quantify risk and they usually see things in terms of black-and-white.

That said, I don't think the statement "But among oncologists there is very widespread agreement on the benefits of PSA testing." accounts much for anything. There have been loads of examples of highly trained specialists in the past recommending something based more on "well, logically it makes sense", only to not see it actually play out when studied more closely. I find this especially true that there is a general bias among all specialist professions (not just medicine) to "do something", when sometimes the best thing is to just do nothing.
How much leeway does HR have to yank earned benefits? After two decades of doing the work, seems like they are entitled.

If someone lied about getting a degree, would HR pull the 401k after a 20 year career? Faked a few certifications? Any lie is enough?
How does Earthsea -trilogy compare to Harry Potter?

What I hate about Potter is that they play every day on Spectrum TV. Every day. And I'm paying for that.
On the other hand, I really enjoy both reading and writing long sentences, as long as they are logically easy to follow, for they exude a certain eloquence and elegance that elevates the style and, most importantly, refines my audience by filtering away potential readers who had not had sufficient high school language classes to get used to understanding such long sentences effortlessly, which, this being a matter of personal expression rather than instruction, I certainly have the right to.
He also mentions the possibility of adversarial collaboration, creating a scenario similar to yours…
You just copy office 97 and can't go wrong with it. The problem with having UX people on a team is that they need to jusity their existence which they do by change for changes sake. I've yet to meet anyone who appreciates ms office UX changes that happen every 5 years and move everything around.
At some point we should either give them life imprisonment or accept that if they are free to go then they paid their debt and need to be reintegrated (obviously if they did sex offences against minors then don’t put them in jobs with high contact to minors).
I believe they describe AFF Level 1 jump, where there are two instructors waiting for the student to pull the "line and you are on your own" which they describe a bridle of main pilot chute to main canopy. The idea of this jump is an altitude awareness and for students to pull their main canopy at the right altitude. When they don't - instructors do it for them. Which happens pretty often with students who never done tandems before.

Nobody tells students anything about the RSL at this stage, just teaches them basic Emergency Procedure - "Look at Red, Grab Red, Look at Silver, Pull-Punch Red, Pull Silver".
But before you send someone to prison you should be sure you investigated properly.

Did they question any relatives of him?
Sure, it's getting increasingly easier to just buy China made for ITAR-protected products. Night vision cameras, thermals, drones. They're fine, way more user friendly, often cheaper too.
The systems exist for a reason. Losing my life's accumulation at age 60 to a greedy or unscrupulous character is not a risk I personally want to take.

But if you feel that you can dismantle the system, then by all means go for it.

Personally I don't want to dismantle the system as it allows me to better manage risk.
It is since new rating regulations, which are in effect as of 2024: https://handbook.fide.com/chapter/B022024

See 7.1.2. Ratings aren't tracked by clubs even when players are under this cutoff - all games for rating are submitted to FIDE.
It’s not anymore, the current version is WebView2 and much faster.
The semantics of fibers are difficult to define precisely. For example using thread local storage inside fibers can be problematic if a fiber sleeps in one thread and restarts in another, because the compiler is free to store something like &errno and use it across function calls. (And this is not theoretical—compilers will do this).
Yeah, sure. What would you expect? Israel tortures, maims and kills to pressure palestinians, how would you compete with that if you were a politician in the Gaza strip? At least there's a kind of brutality forced upon them that explains it, unlike US allies in the region, like the house of Saud, that doesn't have to publicly execute people but does anyway. Who, by the way, are ambigous about the palestinian issue because they suspect that Hamas is too egalitarian, too democratic, to warrant their support.

If they were that bloodthirsty, how come they haven't killed more in their own population? How come they weren't ousted by the local population?

Israel controls the means for sustaining life in the Gaza strip and uses that power arbitrarily, that's occupation. If you treat a couple of million people that way they will for sure try to hurt you badly. And it's not weird that they do, it's not surprising or savage, it's rather very reasonable to do. You would too.
If you read short books of low complexity, aye. We need to start talking page count. Aint nobody reading 3 Robin Hobb books a week all year long.

Skydiving is much more safe than you think https://www.uspa.org/discover/faqs/safety

1500 jumps in 5 years (not that much), 1 reserve ride, one twisted ankle in early 100 jumps.
That thread only spent 18 minutes on HN's front page, perhaps because of the baity title, so it's probably ok to have another go.

> Teams, as much as I may dislike it, seems to have more built-in features than Slack

Isn't that the problem with Teams? Instead focusing on highly usable text chat, the focus is growing the pile of integrations with other mediocre Microsoft products.

(Not that Slack is great; it's been bloated and slow for a long time and has likely been on steep downward trajectory since the buyout by Salesforce.)

> Today, the center is a bleak sight. The only signage visible from Highway 99 is the word “Skydive,” painted on a battered wooden board propped up by a car tire. Beyond that, the rusted frame of an old barn and a derelict phone booth stand next to the hangar where first-time divers nervously wait for their turn to hit the skies.

There’s those market forces kicking in after, ohhh, a couple dozen deaths.

Truly harrowing, and I’m pretty sure this Dause character is a bona fide psycho.
rust-ffmpeg already seems to have support for 7.0: https://github.com/zmwangx/rust-ffmpeg/pull/178
I wonder if it is because of how its promotion package works. A middle manager thinks up of a product and executes in it. It launches, the manager get a promotion, and then it gets kill for not getting enough users. By then the manager got their pay raise and no longer needs the project.

To avoid a back and forth here, people should feel free to find a way to analyse the confidence levels that newspapers use when quoting the different sides.

- what entities are quoted using netral or confidence signaling language like "sier" (says), "i følge" (according to) and similar, "data fra" (data from)

- what entities are quoted using language that gives low trust connotations: "påstår" (claims, but in Norwegian signalling low confidence)

Feel free to also compare how the claimed Israeli bombing of a hospital early during Israels response affected the front pages, vs when it became clear that it was a rocket engine from Gaza that had hit a mostly empty parking lot ourside a hospital and left a dent in the asphalt.

Since I argue in good faith I also encourage you elygre to provide similar ways to try to get something measurable to show your perspective.

I pride myself (for the lack of a better term) with being able to change my views based on listening to others and have done so both when it comes to drug policies (I have gone from very strict to liberal), economics (I used to be anti socialism, now I have come to appreciate and defend our current Norwegian system very much), and I used to defend Israel in ways that I don't do anymore.
In my top five, too. I have two copies right now, the second is a first edition I found at a free bookstore. I've given one other away, will probably send another with a kid when they move out.

It's the dryness, for me. She evokes the setting so clearly and in so few words, it took me by surprise. Also my first exposure to thoughtful anarchist ideas, which has been fun.

That and Wizard of Earthsea. Which is as spare, poetic, and strange as any YA magic fiction book wishes it could be.
Well it all makes a lot of sense but you have to understand it first. That takes time. I’m typesetting stuff which has complex mathematics in it so there are no better solutions. This is the best human solution we have.

There are some workflows that you can’t do with anything else as well. For example I am doing a lot of semi hand drawn diagrams on my iPad in Goodnotes. These are exported as vector PDFs and trimmed and included in the LaTeX documents as figures. They are fully vector end to end which is a complete pain in the ass on any other package.

As for hybrid PDFs I don’t know. I am mostly interested in not shopping the source document.
Bytebeam has open-source sdk
That is not entierely true.

1. Pilot still follow FAA, and there are chapters about skydiving operations in FAA for pilots.

2. USPA Members have to follow USPA rules even if they jump not in USPA DropZones.

3. The gear manufactures (especially Sigma) have their own set of rules for using their gear.

Other than skydivers who want to be YouTube famous, there are not that many that do stupid shit.

So, why does Microsoft want to kill AD and move everything to their cloud ?
I suppose it may have something to do with the guy becoming homeless, and they don't want to show the whole extent of the horrors that they made real guy go through.
Social media has scrambled people's minds so badly. In the past, only narcissists and sociopaths needed to spend their time building a public image of themselves and checking in to see what people thought about it.

Scoring yourself with stars or notches for the books you read - or like my dad, a box of donuts every time he slept with a new woman - that's some fucked up abnormal unhealthy shit.

What this shows is that even the most innocent of online coms based on gamified popularity metrics will always trend toward feelings of loss of self-worth for the players.

Why? Because gamifying social interaction is a pretty good definition of sociopathy. Forcing the genpop to engage in that game 24/7, and to treat social interaction as a system of rewards, has spread the sociopathy from the founders like a disease to the rest of the world.
Sure but we should still listen to specialists. They aren’t always right but they are wrong less often than the rest of us.

As for “doing something” actually there has been a consistent trend in the prostate cancer fields towards doing less. As the years go by they get better quality data from long term studies supporting “watchful waiting” for many lower grade cancers. I even had a more aggressive one and they let me go several years before surgery, just to maximize quality of life. That’s all due to new data. Data that definitely one needs specialist skills to interpret.
Classic case of letting perfect be the enemy of good. Try harder next time, jj999.

DNA would be significantly harder to fake over 35 years when you're still walking around with your own DNA. Is it perfect? No, but it's a lot more trustworthy in this case than an SSN or driver's license were.
14dBm EIRP is extremely low power for a radar however. Off the bat the author is using 1W (30dBm) PA, and you could readily get another 20dB from a moderate sized antenna (e.g. repurpose a scrap DirecTV dish).

Unless you're next to a base, it's the FCC that will come knocking long before the military.
There is some nuance to the assertion that if one doesn't get something they didn't want it enough.

But, as pointed out in another comment, the idea is that you either get it or die trying. As long as you haven't given up, there's a chance you'll get what you want.

A more socially acceptable "spin" is to emphasize on perseverance. But, at least in my belief system, it's not only the physical act of perseverance that eventually gets you there, but also the mental aspect of actually really wanting it.

There are also many other nuances like people thinking they want something but instead they want something else (eg. people thinking they want a Lamborghini, but maybe they just want to be respected). And then there are cases where people want something but at the same time kind of want the opposite thing (eg. want a high status challenging job, but also want to live a peaceful and chill life.)

So yeah, with such nuances it's probably not a great idea to just randomly throw these ideas out there without some detailed follow up explanations, that part I agree with you.

But what I disagree is the "victim" part. Nobody is a "victim" of not reaching a goal unless they choose to be one. I mean, let's say for example a person fails to pass an exam because they had to take care of their sick mother -- well, good for them, because taking care of their mother is more important than the stated goal of getting good grades for the exam. Nobody is a victim here. Instead, everyone's free choices are respected. As long as we don't judge people for their lack of apparent, socially-acceptable "successes".
