I one time quit a factory job after 1 day. They asked me why. It's simple, you have a coffee vending machine. This is simply to revealing. There are lots of assholes running companies but to put it on display like this is quite unusual, it means you are not even trying to hide it nor embarrassed by it. I need an employer who notices my effort and appreciates it or at least pretends to.

My advice for you, after I leave, you go pick up a few boxes of pastries for your employees. You've never done this, correct? Then I gave him the military salute and left not waiting for an answer.

Turned out he was the funny kind of blunt asshole. A year later I ran into someone still working there in that place where no one ever smiled. Apparently the boss got the boxes of pastries and told his employees it was my idea etc One employee told him I was right, I cant remember the last time you did anything nice because you never did, you are an asshole, you've always been, we should do this every week.

It was long long ago but I'm sure they still eat pastries every week.
Yes.

The last war China was involved in was the relatively small Sino-Vietnamese war in 1979. And the last one before that was WW2.

It would be hard to count all the wars the US involved themselves in during that time.

However, with regards to China Americans seem to be mostly worried about Taiwan. Taiwan is a lot closer to the coast of the PRC than it is to the coast of the US. (On the other hand, the people living in Taiwan are even closer to Taiwan than the PRC is. And they would certainly enter the fray, too.)
You shouldn't do that. At least download the installer first, have a short look at it and decide if you like to run it.

I personally avoid software whose manual suggests this type of install because I think of the developers as not that intelligent ones.

As someone who watched the 4o demo, enjoys MCU works, and saw Her, but wasn't even aware of the connection between Black Widow and Samantha (no idea who SJ was until this whole thing), a lot of the comments on this post are absolutely ridiculous.
My guess is that they're referring to how Rails will instantiate full objects for ActiveRecord database requests and this is often not what you want, because we often just want a single or a few attributes from the model.

So if you had a model Activity, and you wanted to get the names of some of them, the slower/higher memory approach would be something like:

Activity.where("id < 100").map(&:name)

This pulls results from the database, instantiates each as Activity objects, then iterates through each to get its name. You can see in the logs that it grabs the entire object:

Activity Load (133.7ms) SELECT "activities".* FROM "activities" WHERE (id < 100)

.pluck instead grabs just the field you're looking for without instantiating the entire object. So the better way to grab the list of activity names would be like:

Activity.where("id < 100").pluck(:name)

And you can see from the logs that it makes a more narrow query:

(3.8ms) SELECT "activities"."name" FROM "activities" WHERE (id < 100)
> This is a UI design hill I will die on... it makes the interaction feel substantially more responsive, and it reduces user errors by not allowing the focus to slide out of the hot box between press and release

Sliding out is also exactly how you cancel events we when you realize you've made a mistake by clicking on autopilot.

The product looks very good. However I did NOT like the marketing claim on the front page that points out it is "blue-light free". The claim that blue light is harmful is not really that scientifically proven and if one has blue light at home (awful LED fixtures) this device will happily reflect it, will it not? Please correct me if I'm wrong, I love building light fixtures and 3000K low voltage halogen light, which I believe would work so well with Your device.
Being able to use my ipad as an extra monitor is one of the main reasons I always carry it around.

It might be too late for this model, but enabling the tablet to be used as a USB monitor, with all tablet functionality / storage hidden from the PC OS, or as a wi-di monitor, would easily justify a large chunk of the cost for some of us, and provide the tablet a useful life long past its last android os update.

Best of luck to Metriport. I've worked for years in the healthcare interoperability space and there are still a huge number of unsolved problems impacting cost and patient care.

There actually is a standard for converting C-CDA records to FHIR. It isn't 100% complete but serves as a useful starting point. If you find problems with it you can feed those back into the standards process.

http://hl7.org/fhir/us/ccda/

Microsoft has an open source library which works pretty well and I think implements at least part of that standard, although I haven't used it lately.

https://github.com/microsoft/FHIR-Converter

FHIR also includes unstructured narrative text so it isn't necessarily better than C-CDA in that regard. You'll find that data quality problems come down more to provider systems configuration and charting policies rather than data formats.

The Truth About VPNs: FAFO

Why Has Construction Productivity Stagnated? The Role of Land-Use Regulation
tldr: If you don't multihop, you're actually increasing the surface area of exploits for your privacy by using a single VPN.
Do you specific recent sources that back that up? The source I originally linked as well as this writeup[1] suggests that the review to sale ratio has shrunk over the years and is shrinking for games with lower sales. The sales & owner estimates that steamDB offers also generally pegs the games I listed has having a 10:1 - 30:1 ratio. Here's deadeye deepfake simulacrum as an example:

https://steamdb.info/app/1545990/charts/

Note that many of the highly rated games I shared had sub 300 reviews, so even if you were to have a great 60:1 ratio for a game with 300 reviews priced at $15 you're looking at a $185k gross after steams cut and before taxes for potentially 3+ years of development and support.

I really hope I'm wrong here because I would love a meritocratic indie game scene to keep flourishing, but the greater trend I see is a bifurcation between indie games that synergize with streaming and social media to become breakout hits and excellent games that prove more difficult to market that struggle to tread water.

Second, until Wayland, X11 also created crazy backwards compatibility. You can take run X apps that are decades old.

Where backwards compatibility is poor is in the desktop libraries like those in the GNOME and KDE ecosystems.

Even there though, the old libraries still work. You can keep them around if you want.

My experience is the opposite. I've never witnessed serious dehydration, i.e. with symptoms beyond cramps, but I've encountered various cases of serious spontaneous over-hydration, including a heli evac. It's worth pointing out that my background is infantry, so we're generally mindful of drinking enough during marches, in arctic conditions and so on, which are some of the exceptions I'm talking about. On the less serious side, two friends have had "urinary tract abnormalities" due to generally drinking too much water daily because they bought into the "stay hydrated" hype.

With all that said: Yes, dehydration is probably more common. My point is simply that the goal is a good balance, not to drink excessively to "stay hydrated".
You’re writing with an authoritative tone, but I’m confused by what you’re trying to say. I drink a lot of water. I keep a 2 liter bottle on my desk and refill it 2-3 times over the course of a work day. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I also drink tea and coffee, and sometimes beer in the evening.

I drink water because I want to? It’s not exactly being thirsty (I sometimes get thirsty when I’m out and about for extended periods; that feels different). It’s just wanting to drink water, and water being there. Should I be worried? Should I be limiting myself to only drinking water when I feel truly thirty?

I’m also an amateur marathon runner, and I reckon I probably drink much less liquid while running a marathon than in a comparable 3.5 hour block working (although I drink a lot of water and sports drink after finishing).

Edit: In case it matters, I don’t drink water because I’ve bought into “stay hydrated” hype. I’m well aware that I drink more than enough water to meet my body’s needs. I just like it.

Anecdotes work both ways. Apple recently locked and forced a reset of Apple ID accounts for no reason.[0] This happened to my elderly mother at an incredibly inconvenient time, making her phone completely unusable, and the phone was set up for her by my elderly father, who had had strokes since then, and couldn't remember the account password, and had lost access to the email address. I spent hours on the phone begging Apple to help, and they could do nothing but direct me toward recovery Web pages that had long, mandatory waiting periods. It took weeks for my mom's phone to no longer be a useless brick, and it very nearly didn't work (they already denied one request without explanation). Even sending them proof of purchase from the mobile carrier, as they demanded, was rejected. All in the name of "protecting" the user.

I provided the link to the Forbes article to multiple representatives, including a senior advisor. None of them admitted to knowing anything about it, even a week later. It was reported on various Apple news sites as well.

So, no, I cannot in good conscience recommend buying an Apple device. Even if you pay for it, it effectively does not belong to you, and Apple may suddenly disable it at any time, for any reason, without warning.

At this point I'm most surprised that there still aren't any videos of someone actually trying the recipe, especially since it's doable with non-toxic glue and it would very likely go viral on social media platforms.

It is important to note this line "due to a gradual decoupling of thirst from hydration status"

older people gradually lose their ability to sense thirst.

So, if you're older, you can be dehydrated but not feel thirsty.

I suspect the practical solution to this is to drink more all the time.

But I also think there's probably a market for some way of letting older people monitor their hydration status, maybe through a watch or other sensor.
Ukraine was faced with a choice - do what the US wanted, or do what Russia wanted. The US choice resulted in massive death, destruction and so far it looks like Russia is going to get what they wanted anyway.

What would the downside have been of just folding before the troops started moving?

Best defence is a good offence. They're flailing under strategic pressure from the US.
Coffee is less hydrating than water, not dehydrating. People think coffee = caffeine = dehydration, ignoring the 8-20oz. of water they're consuming.

Show HN: Chrome extension to search and summarize Reddit while on Google
Hello HN,

I consistently find myself adding "site:reddit.com" to my Google searches. So, I thought: why not automate that?

I built this open-source Chrome extension to create a sidebar on your Google results page with results from Reddit. In fact, you can customize it to do parallel searches on more websites besides reddit (like I've added ycombinator.com)

See a 1-minute video of the extension in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzz7V19bVVw

Optionally, you can add your OpenAI keys to summarize results. This creates an experience of having your own client-side Perplexity-like experience!

Link to the extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/crossquery/bjafchgh...

Link to code: https://github.com/paraschopra/crossquery-extension

Right now, it only works on Chrome. But since the code is open, you can adapt it to Firefox, Edge or other browsers. (Happy to accept pull requests!)

Let me know what you think.
I think there's a huge market for things in plain sight.

That said, with new displays you can hang on a wall, there might be a replacement.

China had a steady supply of cheap skilled labor. Automation has made that less important than it used to be, but back then it was a decisive advantage. At least when combined with good enough quality and sufficient political stability.

One mistake the US did was switching from defined benefit pensions to individual retirement savings. When the stock market is something you hear about in the news, most people don't really care about it. But when you see it in your retirement account balance, it becomes relevant. If outsourcing to China is good for the stock market, you vote politicians who make it easier.
A lot of news sites syndicated this story. I think journalists are missing the point with what actual users are feeling. Just on HN alone, I could probably find a dozen examples from the last month alone which show that Google’s AI experiment is a flat-out disaster.

But instead of putting them on blast, they’re giving readers little dopamine snacks and letting Google of the hook.

This specific story did make me wonder yesterday, is someone at Google having to manually enter rules not to show these queries. That would be hilarious.

My standard joke is: We must be doing incredibly well if you have time to ask me that. Ideally the standard joke is followed by a [long] list of things they should or could be working on and then I force the conversation into that direction. If they ever bring it up again I remind them that they had already mentioned it and change the topic to actual work again. I've had a good few burst out in laughter going though the process specially the 3rd or 4th time.

> Reddit's is comically bad, like they hired interns to make it who tried trendy stuff but didn't understand how to implement any of it properly.

I think it's intentionally bad. They just want to force you to use the app instead. Hence the 5 times a minute "Reddit is better in the app" popups too. Unfortunately the real reason of course is "Reddit can collect much more information about you if you use the app". It's not about "being better". That's a choice, if they wanted to provide a phenomenal web app experience they could easily do so.
When I looked this up it pointed me to this exact comment.
You seem to be having a kind of a blind bias. You argue that during war time China will be less productive; and the opposite will be for the US: more productive. As if China can't target/hit back at the US. Both have massive geography and given that the US is likely the attacker, China only has to play defense.

> The USA is a net exporter of oil (that greases the entire machine). China is an oil importer (not good when you country is being sieged during war).

This seems to be their largest risk (if you are playing defense). They seem to be going crazy on solar though.
They do give some changes back (like drivers, or the ability to use Linux drivers in this case) because it's easier to have them upstream and not patch with every new release and fix every time it breaks due to other changes. The companies that use FreeBSD are also major donors to the founndation.
