That was hilarious. Do people really do that?
My dad was as programmer and tried hard to get me into coding early, but according to him I resisted and refused every time. Then I took one programming class in college and realized I was really good at it, so something must have stuck from my youth.
This would be a fascinating evolution of the old point and click detective games. A mystery solving game driven by dialogue? And maybe a narrator (a different voice)? And you might be able to play it with friends? a playable Scooby-Doo episode?!

I routinely hid the cellular, battery, and VPN indicators on my KeyOne. This isn't unique to Samsung, it's available via ADB. They might expose it, and allow non-geeks to use it, but that hardly makes it a Samsung feature to anyone browsing this site and with more than a passing interest in UI customization.
I'm curious why an exempt employee would ever have to fill out a timesheet...
From experience, that has its own share of frustrations as well. You get to work in theory and that’s fun, but if you decide to do a PhD while also working a desk job, I recommend you do not tell your employers.

I made the mistake of telling an employer, and whenever I made any mistake in my work, no matter how small, the employer would immediately say that the PhD work is distracting me, and my focus not BigCo.

My PhD is on an indefinite hiatus right now, because it’s something I am questioning the utility of right now.
I don't know, but I do know pre-AWS, pre-node architecture.

Running a site is mega-cheap, if hosted on your cable modem. Doubly so if you rent a racked server. And a racked server + CDN can be done for mega-cheap.

It's not about underlying costs, unless of course you AWS.

But on the not-for-profits side, it's hard to find that in a lot of spaces. While perhaps a weird alternative, where are the not-for-profit restaurants?

Again, that may seem like a strange comparison, but... we have soup kitchens. Food banks. We have "donated" things, with volunteers.

But we don't have "restaurant experience" for free.

How would a non-profit restaurant work? If we look at grocers, the only sort of "merged" retailer is Costco. It's owned by institutional investors, but it does derive most of its profits from those who shop there, via memberships. This keeps (supposedly) the target on the shopper, not on using the shopper as a product.

Yet it's hard to get people to pay for news, to pay for anything. A reader of this may say "But I...", and if you do... you're a rarity, and not really relevant to the overall logic -- people don't want to pay for things on the internet.

Someone here once commented that AP and other news aggregators could just be deployed by Google. Well, great. More 'using the client as the product' Google foolery.

It would, however, be trivial to setup a site to do just that. Direct, non-hyped headlines. Only news. No ads, no tracking, no 1-pixels, and in fact, no javascript. (Just being hardcore here).

The real issue comes down to comments. Over and over, again and again, I see volunteers saying comments are the thorn. Policing them. Even if everyone on the planet was a Pleasant Person, there's SPAM. Ad-ware, astroturfing, and so on.

I think any sort of not-for-profit won't be done at scale, ever, if it includes comments. At least not under todays model. Volunteers can't handle the load.

However, I do know people that operate mailing lists, for bike clubs, for athletic clubs, mailing lists as we've had for 30+ years on the internet, and which flowed from BBS systems.

These are operated with often 200 members on a list. No one cares about profit, or about growth of the list, or about debate. They're about the topic.

Again, I think as soon as you get into "Lots of people all talking together", it means "OMG, I can post something an 1M people will see it!", and then comes in the horrid behaviour. The politics. The ads. The spam. The commercial pitches. The posturing.

I don't think non-profit at scale can be done due to this.

But I could be wrong.
In the 60s I read a (crackpot?) theory that the Old Testament was not kidding when it says people lived hundreds of years, and that a sudden influx of cosmic rays could explain a nexus of Biblical events - the dispersion of a persistent global cloud cover that had existed until then, the rain & flooding event that Noah rode out, and the subsequent reduction (thanks for nothin', cosmic rays) in human lifetimes.

One of the reasons I left android was the inconsistency of the back button. Sometimes it would even take you out of the app you were in to the previous app. If you were in the browser it would never do that though. Maybe they made it more consistent?

Not a biologist, but if I got that correctly, every time your body replicates your DNA a bit of the end is cut of. There is a section of "garbage" at the end, but once that is gone the "functional" parts of the DNA are cut of.

Once that happens you are guaranteed to develop tumors sooner or later.

To the extent that they don’t work, a lot of that is because of bitcoin. North Korea steals enough bitcoin to cover half of their military budget.

Given that this thread concerns whether the legitimate use cases of Bitcoin outweigh the illegitimate ones, I think this is an argument strongly against the position.

Magnesium is often in the brown/full grain parts of the food, which is removed in most processing. I don't think it depletes it just lacks it.
I don't know but I could imagine the extra oxidative stress and inflammation etc. might mean your body would need more of certain minerals than it otherwise would? Just speculating, not a doctor/nutritionist/biologist.

Edit: Processed food definitely lacks magnesium to be clear, but it's interesting to think about how it might even be more costly than it appears.
What does it achieve to be snarky to someone who can do nothing about it?
Not who you replied to, but I can relate.

I'm not great at math, but I've trained myself to do basic calculations in my head. I need to concentrate hard and it goes very slow (I'm also a fast thinker for other stuff). I do this because it's a very useful skill in day-to-day life, so worth training.

I once read that many people basically spin up a virtual machine in their mind to do math. That is how it feels to me too. All simulation, no hardware acceleration, so very slow.
That's a very interesting way of looking at errors.

Wouldn’t the grammar of errors have to also be LR? Doesn’t that limit the kind of errors you can report?
> it's a hedge against loss of value even in the short term

If BTC with such a volatility can be considered an inflation hedge, then anything else can be as well. There's no intrinsic guarantee that BTC will keep going up, its protocol only defines the supply and not the demand, hence not its price either.

Actually I'm not convinced that BTC is favored as an inflation hedge instead of even USD-based stablecoins for people with currencies devaluating faster than USD.
The basic mechanisms of empathy are probably biological, but everything else is cultural. Consider that different civilisations in the past even engaged in systematic cannibalism.

I grew up in a farm. In my experience, the people less likely to feel empathy for animals were those who actually worked with them every day. This does not mean that they were cruel, at all, but rather that they understood rising and killing animals as fundamental for their livelihood.

This reality is very remote for many urban dwellers, for whom animal products come into existence in the supermarket aisle, and who mostly only see live animals as pets.
Maybe we can just get rid of Greece and keep bitcoin?

> I doubt a single lake in New Jersey has frozen enough to walk on in 30 years

Not disputing the spirit of your comment but from Jan 2013 I have photos of myself walking on Budd Lake. It was the first time I had ever been on a frozen lake. So it does still happen inside that timeframe, but yes it's uncommon now.
I've created another open-source project which serves a similar purpose [1]. Unfortunately, I haven't been actively working on it for some time (although still using it daily).

I'd give it to team Silent for their writing of Silent Hill 2.
There is a lot of variance in how words are used, so I'm not going to say you're wrong here.

However, my usage of the following words deviate from yours:

* intelligence - raw intellect, having absolutely nothing to do with anything ever learned

* smarts - synonym for raw intellect, but often more on the 'crafty' side of raw intellect

* ability - short for 'capabilities', and is a merge of 'intelligence' and 'learned information'. Information is useless without intellect, and intellect is vastly reduced in capability without learned information. Ability is a metric for these two conjoined. 'Skilled' fits here too.

So from where I sit, you never get "smarter" as you age. You do however grow your abilities, you may become "wise", and skilled.

By the way, agree 100% with the context of what you're saying. And just passing on term usage from another geolocation.
I never seen sugar used as shorthand for fructose. It would mean majority of candies dont have sugar in them - they dont have simple fructos

And it is not used that way by people who push keto and low carbohydrates diets on HN.

And again, it renders fat vs sugar dichotomy meaningless.
I created something like what you're describing with the addition of P2P communication using NAT traversal (https://www.hyperpath.ie)

It will connect your devices in a P2P Mesh VPN and allow them to send and receive data using multiple links (e.g. multiple 5G or 5G + Satellite).

It is significantly cheaper than Peplink's license, less latency and no bandwidth / data limits.

You need to bring your own hardware though. Like a Raspberry Pi with 3 USB 4G/5G dongles.
Yes, I use it pretty regularly when I encounter a regression.

I generally mandate linear history for repos and squash all commits. I've frankly never understood people who don't.

Plenty more advantages than that. E.g for SaaS you can deep copy an entire tenant including their digital assets. Much easier copying with just "insert into ... Select from" than having to copy S3 objects.

Lightning Network design is horrible, and it's literally impossible to onboard millions of users without increasing the L1 blocksize to an absurd amount.

The world will likely move onto using rollups on other chains like Ethereum instead, which scale better, and pays gas to validators to get included into the blocks.

Seems like the Bitcoin community is looking into rollups on Bitcoin, but it'll be impossible to get trustless Bitcoin on them, even with BitVM, without a hardfork.

> I do wonder if jumping back by twice as much is optimal.

Some time ago, the idea came to me of weighting commits by diff size (as in LOC added + LOC removed, no thought to binary files), and using that to pick the halfway point for bisection. I'm not familiar with Git internals so I left it there. But I imagine that, while it wouldn't make a huge difference in either case, it would benefit your tool more than it would a regular bisect.
I’ve also found that Mistral instruct base is just as good, and gives less chatty replies. It all also gave me more consistently correct responses.

I sometimes ponder that if HIV were airborne, there would be very few people alive right now. It would have travelled far and wide and infected practically everyone before we even knew what was happening, and long before there were any real mitigations, and there still isn't really a cure.

It's only a matter of time before nature invents a virus that will work around our defenses and spread silently and then wham, 90% of humanity is gone.
This... what you just said. I am creating a business with my kids, so it is both educational for them, develop creator habits and that we create future together.

What's really interesting here is that there is an entire platform dedicated to Musk hating, that looks exactly like Twitter, where people express ridiculously warped ideas about a reality that they've created to live inside where everything fits their need to identify with one highly marketed political agenda.

And his name obviously isn't Elon Musk.
The "garbage" at the end protects against cancer.

It prevents cells from multiplying uncontrollably (and accumulating mutations in the process) by shortening the fuse at each generation.

There's a hierarchy with stem cells at the top that live long, rarely divide, and have few mutations, and the children of the children ... of their children at the bottom divide often, but have a short fuse and a limited lifetime, so they don't keep accumulating mutations as much
I'm interested in #2 here - I've often struggled with writing a test to identify a bug, and then using that new test with bisect to find the commit where that test would first fail.

Has this technique got a googlable name?
I suppose the difficulty of proving that, short of demanding source code, helped prevent it from happening.

> Magnesium fixed my insomnia and muscle cramps.

I never had insomnia, but sometimes I had nocturnal leg cramps, when sleeping after intense physical exercises.

For unrelated reasons, I have begun taking a magnesium supplement. Since then, I have never had again any cramp.
It’s not clear to me which foods you would need to “only eat” to not have enough magnesium. Meat, vegetables, and grains all contain magnesium. I wonder if you process meat into (for example) hot dogs, you are eating meat mixed with grains, so the grain content might decrease the total magnesium.

Perhaps a high calorie diet (soft drinks, potato chips, etc…) would lead someone to eat less “real food” (meat, vegetables, and grains), and thus overall magnesium would be less.

But still, I don’t know what one would have to focus on eating to avoid magnesium.
Something being analogous to something else means, that there is a bidirectional function/mapping between the two.

One can easily map any Result-typed expression to a checked exception one, and vice versa.
The abstract of that article concludes: "The results suggested that 7 hours/day of sleep duration should be recommended to prevent premature death among adults."
But this seems like a special deal. Would they do the same for say an African country with human rights issues for the same money? I don't think so.
So if someone lives off white bread and pasta with little to no meant/veg, that could possibly deplete magnesium.

Is that true, there is more magnesium in the husk?
It's your rhetorical reflected back, perhaps you should state your absolute position on the sanctity of business more clearly.

Why would infomation systems for tracking tattoos on not-Aryans in work and death camps be a problem?

How are throws non-local? They simply pop a stackframe, the exact same way as the `return` keyword. Then the calling method gets to decide what to do, exceptions just have an implicit “unwrap-or-return/bubble up”.

Exceptions are nothing like gotos/long-jumps, it’s just “pressing escape key once vs keeping it pressed”, basically.
