I doubt it. In the book Outlive, they show the overall rates of mortality after subtracting for the 8 leading infectious diseases, and the death rate is mostly flat over the last 70 or so years. His conclusion was that neither environmental factors nor medical research has made much progress on things like cancer, etc.
Ah, I forgot a step. I think this is very common when it comes to making hot sauces but after boiling/pasteurizing, you add a lot of vinegar. This should raise the PH well beyond what botulism can handle and just generally preserves the hot sauce. By volume it has to be at least like 20% vinegar. Some people leave their sauces "live", meaning they don't boil and might not even add much vinegar (common with sriracha) but I don't trust myself to leave out those two steps. Plus, I'm usually going for a tabasco type sauce and vinegar is a key part of the flavor.
Did crowdstrike force delta to accept running what essentially is a permanent RCE in their production fleet? You do not buy a software that is capable to do that and you put the fact it's not capable of doing that in the contract.

The update policy may work for the client version updates, but not for the "policy definition", otherwise delta won't get the sweet "all vulns mitigated with a 4h SLA" they crave.

This is bad journalism. The writers have not done their research on the effects of the "banned drugs" they are mentioning. Someone who doesn't have ADHD would only get negative side-effects from taking stimulants, like hunger suppression, anxiety, depression and much more. Stimulants don't have the same effect on a brain that is not dopamine deficient. Ventolin for asthma has absolutely no effect on someone who doesn't have an issue with their airways narrowing due to asthma.

Besides, the information they are reporting on is private and was wrongfully leaked. Broadcasting it and even framing it in a bad light is simply wrong.

If anything, the athletes who truly are abusing these TUE rules probably do so out of superstition, to gain any advantage possible, real or otherwise. But I do not believe that they gain an actual advantage over other competitors who aren't taking these drugs.
If we live to 25 and have 5 kids, population goes up.

If we live to 200 and have 1 kid, population goes down.

> and increasingly consuming like the richer nations, we are going to be living miserable lives.

Tautologically false; if the worst off are empowered to consume as we do now, those lives will be *amazing*.

Also, the sustainability level of consumption depends on tech, not population. If we wound back to 1930 tech and population, we were reliant on coal and oil, we couldn't substitute other things for them — if peak oil/coal had happened in that decade, we'd have been stuck; now we're good, coal is being phased out as fast as we can build the alternatives, and we have partial alternatives for oil and are working on the reminder.
The overhead is for doing computation (fr cryptographic hashing). No language has zero cost computation. Rust advertises what’s called zero-cost abstractions; which is a major improvement over many languages where abstractions can be expensive.
I have been making my own hot sauce for almost a decade and have chosen to skip fermentation, taqueria-style. I tend to make a blender-full at a time, use dried chiles, use a small amount of salt and vinegar and refrigerate what I make in a few dishwasher cleaned mason jars. We use it quickly enough that I have never noticed any unwanted mold or growth. I have commonly noticed such growth from opened store-bought salsa which is undoubtedly less acidic (and spicy).
>Make more incremental goals

This is along the lines of what I was thinking, especially with long-term projects.

Try to set achievable milestones each of which pick up where the previous one left off, even if the first milestone is not a very big fraction of the total progress needed.

>The advice you asked for: Start somewhere. Anywhere. Anything. Momentum is your friend.

This is so true too.

Incremental milestones need to be at a natural stopping point, in case rest or rejuvenation is needed, but need to be carefully handled so no real momentum is lost. The default should be action even after significant progress, or action continuing after a final goal is fully reached.

Can you think of a more feasible way to make actual progress on a goal that may be recognized as out-of-reach in a single lifetime?

What about a goal that may or may not be impossible in a lifetime? How would you know for sure, and whose lifetime would that apply to?

Other things may or may not be possible in a year, so you have to draw the line somewhere :)
I’d wager you have a copay, a deductible and a maximum amount your plan will cover. And if you are laid off you have nothing unless you sign up for COBRA which charges huge amounts monthly.

The European single payer systems are underfunded intentionally by “conservatives” who want to skim off the top by privatization and loath offering it to the poor & working class.
Yes, I absolutely think they are. I think the short-term solution is for countries to relax immigration policies (so that places with weaker women's rights can send their surplus population to places with stronger women's rights), the mid term solution is to take the burden of childcare off women so that the people making the decision about whether or not to have kids aren't the same people getting punished for having kids, the long term solution is to sink a ton of money and resources into obstetrics research to make pregnancy and childbirth as pain-free as possible, and the super long term is to hope that that research lands us with an artificial womb.
In late 2019 it was still horrible. I'm glad to hear it's cleaned up a lot since then.
Interesting how if anyone else created pictures like these we wouldn't really care.
Why stock markets are freaking out again
There is a misconception that the most successful founders are young.

This is largely perpetuated by the few exceptional cases of wunderkinder that have become startup lore.

Mark Zuckerberg with Facebook at 19. Larry Page & Sergey Brin with Google at 25. Bill Gates & Paull Allen with Microsoft at 20. Steve Jobs with Apple at 21.

In reality, the most successful founders are around 45 years old.

And it stands to reason. Older founders have more experience in their sector. more extensive network. They tend to have more financial resources to put into a new venture.

And, quite simply, they’re more emotionally mature. Studies have shown that older founders tend to be more positive, stable, and resilient. All of which are key traits for handling the demands of startups.

That doesn’t mean, however, that an exception can’t come along every now and then.

Today, I want to bring you a story of such an exception – Founder and CTO of Indico Data, Slater Victoroff.
There’s definitely money to be made in angering people to get clicks but who’s to say these media outlets are not involved with state actors or others who have nefarious aims.
Yeah, successful advanced geothermal would be a game changer for combatting climate change.

If we can transfer even a fraction of the workers, engineers, technologies and capital from the oil and gas sector it will give an enormous boost to the green transition. But most importantly is the political power that will come along with this shift: even if the workers and the capital of the oil and gas sector doesn’t immediately switch over to geothermal, they could at least see a future for themselves in that field, and which makes it much more likely that they’ll lend political support to green policies.
So very underrated. My program structure for years now has essentially been pyramids made of Lego-stacked functions, and I use value-returning syntactic features as often as I can.
That's a much requested feature. With imho two main challenges:

1. Much traffic data is private / requires licensing, however some countries have reasonable public data.
For example the TraffXML (https://gitlab.com/traffxml) project has some.

2. The project is free to use, but also volunteer driven. It requires setting up a privacy preserving "live data" infrastructure.

If you think this is a nice challenge and you can help, feel free to reach out!

If you want a middleweight solution, between "ask about this on developer forums" and "try to get a law passed," you could create a consumer organization that publishes a list of games that are doing all the right things. Publish a newsletter, create free distribution for companies that don't use DRM and have sunset support plans.
No jobs near my home and can't afford a decent housing near my office with my salary. But yeah, right, it's my fault. Luckily my employer is more clever than your post and will happily let us work from home for 3 days since he values our work.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean by this. All I mean is that I disagree that “playing up the incident” is an accurate description of the post.

> Is your view that a developer beta must not have any flaws that would be catastrophic in a public release?

It is not. Quite the contrary, betas serve the purpose of highlighting and fixing flaws.

How much should it cost?

Maybe that cost is low. I don't know, but putting out a number with no context seems to be for shock value only, not realistics.

How much would it be if they met doctors?

A new high school in the US costs 100 million dollars. It seems they build 200 such schools per year. All of a sudden we have a spending of 20 billion on just new high schools each year. Is that too much or too little?

This feels like the whole "Just wait for AGI" argument all over again, with a different audience. There is no promise or rule that suggests Apple will ever be able to fix this feature. By giving even a tiny bit of control to an AI, you're risking the chance that it statistically generates a token you didn't want. That's the random element that will rear it's ugly head at the least-convenient time. If Apple wants to avoid that (and rightfully so), then they shouldn't have tried building with AI in the first place.
Oh wow, it even has a small subset of telnet. Impressive.

Show HN: Visual A* pathfinding and maze generation in Python
I was fascinated reading through another recent HN submission about a highly efficient implementation of A* in Lisp, which got me thinking about how I could do something similar in Python. However, these kinds of pathfinding algorithms really need complex terrain/mazes with interesting obstructions to showcase what they can do and how they work. So, I started thinking about how I could generate cool and diverse random "mazes" (they aren't really mazes, but I'm not sure what the best term is). I got a bit carried away thinking of lots of different cool ways to generate these mazes, such as cellular automata, fractals, Fourier transforms, etc.

Then it turned out that many of the generated mazes weren't actually solvable, so I spent some time coming up with various strategies to test and validate the generated mazes and then modify them so they would work better for this purpose. I spent a fair amount of effort trying to optimize the performance as much as possible using tools like Numba where applicable, but I also got tired of the code bringing my very powerful machine to its knees. So, I tried to make it play nice with the rest of the system while also saturating a big computer with tons of CPU cores. This was done using concurrent futures with some tweaks, like using a Semaphore and lowering the CPU priority. People might find this project interesting just for these performance-tuning features.

I also spent a lot of time trying to make beautiful-looking animations that show multiple randomly generated mazes side by side, where you can see A* "races" as it tries to solve all the mazes at the same time, showing the current progress. When a solution is found, it is traced out on the screen. It's actually not that easy to get really slick/beautiful looking results straight out of Matplotlib, but if you use custom fonts and tweak a lot of parameters, it starts to look pretty polished.

Now you can just run this on a spare Linux machine and come back in a few hours to have a bunch of cool-looking animations to check out. By changing the grid sizes, you can get very different-looking effects, although larger grids can take a lot of compute power to render. Anyway, I hope you guys like it! I'm happy to answer any questions. I'm sure there are still some bugs, but it has been running pretty well for me and generating lots of cool-looking animations. Note: I know that the pulsating title at the top in the demo video is annoying— I already slowed this way down in the code but didn't want to wait for it to regenerate the video.
I had contacts when I was younger. I never figured out how to not have them hurt when putting them in the day after working with chili. Gloves are a good idea but this was usually some random place I’d be cutting them with friends.
What is the real reason then? Please enlighten me, because I have been blocked by these technical issues in my past attempts to bring Guix to macOS. Guix is built around glibc and there is no glibc port for macOS. Using XCode for everything is like replacing a bicycle drive train with a steam engine; I guess it's still a vehicle of some sort, but Theseus is still unhappy with his new ship.

You can use Guix on macOS with https://superkamiguru.org/projects/msg.html, but it's probably not what people want when they ask for macOS support.

Also, it's worth watching a bit of this talk (link at a particularly relevant time to start) because while Haskell is an "ivory-tower language," it is not _just_ an ivory tower language, and the people working on it are very much not just "a merry bunch of category theorists who had little interest in software engineering."

This talk is seven years old btw. Caring about industry users in Haskell is not new.
I mean, I assume CrowdStrike will end up settling to get this out of the news, and I assume that's all Delta is looking for, the handout to shut up.

But let's look at how ridiculous this could go: Imagine Delta's house of cards IT stack was so fragile that this incident ended the company. Not another Delta flight ever took off, the company went bankrupt, etc. Would CrowdStrike be responsible for the full business value of Delta? Of course not, that would be ridiculous. The fact that Delta says they lost a half a billion dollars does not automatically mean CrowdStrike is responsible for a half a billion dollar loss. CrowdStrike has likely some responsibility, and Delta has the rest for not having factored this possibility into their resiliency strategy.

South Korea is an outlier even among wealthy countries. They have an extreme work culture (beginning from school in the early stages) that takes a toll on people .

On one hand, we can say this work ethic/culture enabled them to go from third world to first in less than a century. But stretch it too much and the country suffers population collapse.

I wonder if being bordered by a rabid enemy (North Korea) also plays a role in the low birth rates. Maybe people don’t want to give birth to kids that might end up fighting war in the long run.
Can I just say... I love the return of the term "programming," "to program," and "programmer." "Coder" and "coding" was popular for a while, and before Steve Balmer put his stamp on it, "developers" and "development." But when I started, before 32-bit Windows was a thing, I was a programmer.

If the Primeagen has helped popularize the term again, great, thank you.
Tangentially related, but I recently read Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon [1]

It's set after Sicily defeats Athens in the Peloponnesian War. Two unemployed potters decide to stage two plays by Euripides using the Athenian prisoners kept in the infamous quarry.

Because immigration (i.e. increasing the labor pool, increasing competition in the labor market, increasing demand for housing) actively harms the average member of the electorate?

How to remove rust stains from a cast iron skillet
Google spoiled this opportunity to advance society's ethical relationship with computers, in a healthy way, by offloading the father's responsibility of teaching the child relationship skills to an LLM.

* Where are the boundaries of what is appropriate? The Father is the escort for the Child, in this scenario. The child loses track of themselves throughout this process. The LLM statistically chooses how to relate to the admired Olympian. ALL the words sent to the Olympian are LLM's, there is ZERO VOICE from the child, save from what the Father types into the Gemini AI prompt.

* The father projects -- in the psychological sense -- his expectations on to the child @ https://youtu.be/NgtHJKn0Mck?si=3e6GEHw6tcDAA-iy&t=34

This exacerbates an unhealthy 'drowning' of the self, in favor of waiting for society to phrase that for her, via the LLM's training.

The power of words are what are being devalued. It makes what the daughter has to say worthless. It is tragic, and unethical.
But I said VC is not "bothering"!

Perhaps I should replace the word "versions" in my post with "workflows". In some situations the workflows I settle into contribute to a feeling of being stuck in a local optimum. Throwing away familiar and comfortable workflows can help find a global optimum. It's just the first step, though. It takes hard work to build everything all at once. But it can be valuable for some projects if you aren't happy with where you are.

"cryptographically secure bootloader" is a meaningless phrase.

They mean a boot loader that validates cryptographic public key signatures of the loaded component. That would be a secure cryptographic bootloader. AFTER they have proven that it is, in fact, secure.

You can't just write some code and then say it must be secure because Rust was involved.

This is where the confusion stems from.

I can have very vivid mental imagery, I can imagine all sorts of fantastical things in detail in my mind on command. But that doesn't mean I don't see black when I close my eyes. It doesn't mean the mental imagery blocks what I can see normally with my eyes open. It is in your "mind's eye", so it is still triggering the vision parts of the brain, but almost like its on a different screen.

Similarly with imagining sound or music. I can almost perfectly recall some of my favorite music, I can compose a new piece (poorly) in my head based on music and sounds I have heard, but none of it will drown out an actual sound I hear around me.

That being said, if I am very mentally focused on some mental imagery it can still distract me from my real vision and or even sort of "replace it" without my closing my eyes. Sort of like the feeling you get when driving and zoning out thinking about something (but you are still safely driving).
I think you're thinking of Tabasco. Which is supposed to be bland as it doesn't exist to impart new flavors so much as rather make the thing you're eating hot and slightly acidic. Serves a purpose. Hot sauce is a spectrum of intensity and flavors and Tabasco is definitely on the subtle side of the flavor spectrum.
