@awooooo - nonsense, you have people minding their own business and being themselves, and you don't approve so you are insulting them, and trying to say they need to hide who they are or be different. That is just plain old bigotry. Being trans doesn't hurt of affect other women in any way.

I'm willing to bet you are different in some way that isn't acceptable to others, so you feel the need to hide it out of fear, or hoping for acceptance. It's true of most people, and the fact that people need to hide themselves is awful.. and what you are contributing to here.

I'm not trans but I am neurodivergent in a way that I can't hide, and was bullied and attacked for being different a lot of my life. Bigots that only know of one way people can be different would call me "queer" when they cornered me in the school hallway in groups to try to hurt me. Luckily for me, I'm a strong guy, and even being in groups they usually had a worse time of it than I did. I understand what that is like, and don't wish it on anyone. I want a world where people can mind their own business as themselves without hiding and without awful people trying to shame or attack them.
Yeah. This is what people have been hoping for decades. A safe and effective non-surgical weight loss treatment. This is it.
I had an amazing conversation with Kamran Ahmed, the self-taught developer and entrepreneur behind Roadmap.sh, a platform guiding over 1.25 million developers through their learning journeys.

Kamran shares how he built this massive community while working full-time, and eventually transitioned it into a thriving business.

Takeaways

Roadmap.sh is a platform that provides learning paths for different skills and technologies, helping beginners and intermediate developers navigate their learning journey.

The platform offers free content and resources, making learning accessible to everyone.

Kamran started roadmap.sh as a side project to help students and developers find their career path, but it has grown into a successful business.

The decision to transition roadmap.sh into a business was prompted by the need to provide more features and support for the growing community.

The platform aims to be the go-to resource for learning, providing comprehensive roadmaps, courses, and projects for various roles and skills.

Roadmap.sh offers curated learning roadmaps for developers, with a focus on making learning accessible and generating revenue.

The team behind Roadmap.sh is lean, consisting of two full-time members and one part-time member.

The tech stack includes Astro, Node.js, MongoDB, Postgre, Redis, and is deployed on AWS with CloudFront for fast page loading.

The design of Roadmap.sh has gone through several iterations, with the founder continuously improving and experimenting with the design.

Having a good eye for design is important for indie hackers and developers

Building side projects is a great way to learn and gain experience

Persistence and consistency are key to success

Roadmap aims to integrate AI to make the user experience even better

I thought the same thing, but that didn't work for me. It's busted.
Yes, the psychology of eating is generally under explored topic.

Some of the most obese people I knew had serious psychological wounds that they never healed.

Personally I end up feeling the opposite - I can eat the same weekday lunch for days in a row, and often get a sense of boredom of food before fullness.

I enjoy food, but I also enjoy lots of other things.. and not every bite/meal needs to be a work of culinary art. Italians would probably find this sacrilege.

For me there's a sense of food fitting a function during the week - nutrient/calories, versus going out to dinner on weekend for the social/enjoyment aspects.
Price will come down and, in the meantime, compounding pharmacies are filling the gap in addressing stock shortages and high prices. Just be sure to use a reputable pharmacy if you decided to go that route.
Yes. Non-diabetics actually tend to lose more weight
For a short time only senior is better. However eventually someone will leave and it takes time to get the new person up to speed. Your seniors will retire and you need juniors trained up and ready to take over. If you are only a short term next quarter thinker you are right, but if you think long term some juniors that you bring up to senior are the better value. (note that this also requires retention of existing people, if your culture is change the team every project there is no value in this - I'm against such cultures, but it is very common in the real world to not value experience on your project)

Of course there is value in bringing in external experts for a short time as well. You don't want to be isolated and not learn from the rest of the world, and of course sometimes you have money for a large project and sometimes you don't and want to fall back the the minimum staff needed to keep institutional knowledge alive.

Last, ignoring everything else, you have a moral obligation to society to build a better world. That includes training the next generation. (and this helps you - when you are retired they will be the senior engineers building the tools to keep you alive)
If a test of dependence shows no significant results, that's not conclusive because of complex, nonlinear, and quantum 'functions'.

How are effect lag and lead expressed in said notation for expressing causal charts?

Should we always assume that t is a monotonically-increasing series, or is it just how we typically sample observations? Can traditional causal inference describe time crystals?

What is the quantum logical statistical analog of mutual information?

Are there pathological cases where mutual information and quantum information will not discover a relationship?

Does Quantum Mutual Information account for Quantum Discord if it only uses von Neumann definition of entropy?

Show HN: lcl.host for Teams – team-wide local HTTPS in development
And sometimes the last one becomes:

Them: Don’t close the ticket, I hadn't had a chance to check that yet.

Life gets in between and this one library or project is usually hardly the only thing that person juggles. We need to accept, that sometimes issues remain open for an extended duration. The worst is, when you have the same error or issue someone else had already, but their issue got closed by an effin github bot, that automatically closes issues, because someone hasn't replied for a day or two. Like, you are not the center of the other person's life. Just like no one forces you to work at no cost for others and help them, they should not be forced to give undivided focus to your project's issues.

Having bots close issues, accompanied by a rude automated message is often contra-productive. It would be fine to instead post a reminder in the issue, asking for an update like shown in the example:

Me: Just checking in to see if this is resolved?

This is actually a very polite form of handling it.
Very cool project, happy to see a browser that's not a Chromium fork for once.

Some feedback:

- Web Panels: have an option for letting CTRL + Click (or other shortcut) open the link in the Web Panel sidebar. Drag and dropping the link into the sidebar would be a good shortcut as well. This works for use cases like browsing a search results page, and opening multiple links without losing focus on the search results page itself.

- Horizontal Nav Bar: Vivaldi and Arc browser both have no horizontal bar taking up real estate. Maybe this is not possible to replicate with an FF fork, but having sidebar navigation AND a mostly full size top nav bar is redundant.
Hi HN! I'm part of the Anchor (https://anchor.dev/) team building lcl.host: <https://lcl.host/>

We launched lcl.host in March as the easiest way to get HTTPS in your development environment, and today we're launching new features to make lcl.host the best local HTTPS experience for development teams.

Before lcl.host, setting up HTTPS in your local development environment was an annoyance, but getting your team to use it is a PITA. That's because practically all tools for local HTTPS work the same way: generate a local CA certificate, install it into the local trust stores, then use it to issue certificates for a localhost domain. They all share a drawback: the certificates are only meant to work on one system. If your team wants to standardize on using HTTPS in development, each developer has to learn the tooling and repeat the same process in their own environment.

But lcl.host works differently: it takes one developer to setup encryption on an app and now everyone has local HTTPS. Instead of individual self-signed CAs, Anchor builds and manages a dedicated CA for your team's development environments.

It's 100% free, try it out at <https://lcl.host/>

Or, skip the marketing and run this instead:

$ brew install anchordotdev/tap/anchor
$ anchor lcl

More on teams features here: https://anchor.dev/docs/lcl-host/teams

As well as demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilLiAabWa4g

We are asking for feedback on our features for teams features for local HTTPS, and would like to hear your thoughts & questions. Many thanks!
So this is the first time I've seen it on the front page of the NYTimes. The Biden administration has been doing this consistently for years now and normally it's buried deep inside.

EDIT: actually it's nowhere to be found on the front of nytimes.com, which is dedicated to the DNC. You have to scroll to get it. Whereas the positive jobs reports are often the headliner.

Requesting feedback on my app TrippleTake
I’ve been working on an iOS travel app called TrippleTake, and I'd really appreciate some feedback/thoughts you have.

The apps premise is pretty simple: you take a picture of something interesting—anything from monuments to buildings to random street art—and the app pulls up the backstory of whatever you just snapped. Then, it converts that story into audio, so you can listen to it on the go.

I built this because I love traveling, but I kept finding myself curious about the history behind random things I’d see. I didn’t want to constantly stop to Google stuff, so I figured why not make an app that does the work for me?

I've found it to be pretty accurate so far but I'll let you be the judge of that.

I’m still improving it and adding features (open to suggestions!), but I wanted to put it out there and see if anyone finds it useful.

Thank you!
Or don't waste your time, given Mozilla management does whatever it or Google wants? Just like with Google, nobody works on anything that won't help get them promoted?

There are decade-old "everyone agrees this sucks, please fix it" bugs in bugzilla that are ignored because nobody in management or development cares. It's not sexy, can't go on their resume, it won't let them give presentations at conferences, or get them on people's podcasts, or tweeted about...
Target Disk Mode requires shutting down and putting the macOS device into that mode. Usually to migrate files from your old to new laptop while setting it up.

I'm saying the Biden administration is ultimately honest of their own accord, but they rush to publish numbers and the media rushes to publicize the original numbers, in such a way as to make people overestimate jobs created. I've talked with people who will still cite old jobs numbers as reasons that Harris should be re-elected.

If your company is successful, won’t the VCs just spin up some clones?
The scandal of never having released the numbers and a future administration finding out and publicizing it is way worse than just admitting it up front and hoping no one cares. Mark my words, when it comes to media pundits, they'll still use the old numbers from the original publications, and everyone will just go along. That's how these things work.

A huge component of why I can’t take this “agency delegated” view seriously is because the people preferring it seemingly have no perception of just how much other agencies do, often in a protectionist way to an incumbent thats totally captured that agency. How difficult it was to get standing to even take an agency to court to alter it.

This adds color to my view: instead of focusing on what’s impractical for you, considered shaping the country in ways that are practical for you
I work in an EB shop doing everything from welding, engineering assistance, machine repairs, and complete machine rebuilds.

For the next kid to have higher possibility of finding a energy generation method in next 2 or 100 years, they would have to have the knowledge of the world a.k.a different fields, which we have already divided into thousands of subcategories, for more research purposes.

It would be nothing short of a miracle if someone stumbles upon something like that and hence has very low chances. Similar to how ARM was built, by a person researching processors, and provides significant difference to the world. Earlier we were all going to doom very early with carbon emission from Data Centers utilizing no clean energy , our vehicles using non embeddable computers and factories. Each micro power consumtion could have made the world unsufferable by now, but somehow we delayed it. Some credit also goes to Covid.

Also, at current rate of tech growth with Cryptocurrency, sooner or later Governments are going to tumble (democracies only) as they will not have resources or the monetary capacity to control their areas. Something, like what happened in Bangladesh or Pakistan(when debt is high) would happen.
So, no one to come together to fight the next big apocalypse. And as individuals humans are more destructive than constructive. Hence, mathematically instatable, but that's what hope and miracles are for, right? or should we change the way we live and go into hibernation for survival until our biological selves evolve to find the better solution, maybe that's what our last civilization did and we are here, having a far more technological world, but not scalable or sustainable. or we could leave it all up to the creator, or maybe aliens, another civilization from another planet acting as a parasite until we all either de-evlotionize or die out of existence.
The Ukraine invasion is going to go down as one of the biggest own-goals in recent history. Even if Russia took all of Ukraine tomorrow it looks like it'd still be a pyrrhic non-victory given how much it cost them in money, lives, and international standing. It's basically reduced them to a Chinese vassal state.

It's like Putin watched the US experience in Iraq and said "I can do something much dumber than that..."
Harris is literally the VP and takes an active role in advising and perhaps even running the current administration. Yes, she's not president, but one would hope the second-in-command would be taking on some responsibility in the administration. Thus, she very much shares this administration's success and failures.
I don't think so, it's a lot harder to patch chrome because you'd need to recompile it. There is ungoogled-chromium but it doesn't add many features, mainly takes away the bloat. Unfortunately drm content is a bit finicky in ungoogled chromium.

Yeah, ultimately there is only one reason to use what people are calling "a blockchain", and that is when the system requires global unrestricted membership, where anybody can spin up any number of new nodes at any time if they want to. This is rare.

That one requirement is what triggers a exponential spray of additional features and complexity and tradeoffs, each one designed to curb the worst security-risks or performance-issues from the previous step until you get something not-too-horrible.

When you relax that requirement, everything can be reduced to a dramatically simpler, faster, easier-to-manage system, which often qualifies as a "traditional" distributed database.

_____

For example, take election voting records. Nobody actually needs to allow infinite/random nodes to pop up anywhere at any time simply to "Dude I saw that too" the data.

"Blockchain" proposals all carry serious risks, like: People losing their vote because they didn't stay at the polls for an hour to confirm that it went through and re-vote if it didn't; Some foreign government declaring their own National Botnet Day to fuck it up; Your own government pre-emptively investing bajillions in a short-term "defensive" CPU mob that you might not be able to trust either; etc.

In contrast, a far saner traditional approach: The election already relies on authorities for voter-rolls and candidate-choice. So have each US state runs 3-5 DB nodes, blend in 50 nodes from federal government agencies. That small networkof 200-300 computers get preloaded with one-another's public keys and IP addresses. The only other computers they need talk to are the ones reporting from respective state polling sites.

Safety comes from the fact that any attack (record tampering or plain day-ruining sabotage) would require an attacker to simultaneously hack, corrupt, or destroy many different groups/locations simultaneously, which is pretty unlikely. The system would be dramatically faster, cheaper, easier to audit, better able to tolerate local polling site connection outages, etc.

...Buuuut it doesn't drive the cryptocurrency PR hype machine. I'm OK with that.

ACOUP noted that blacksmiths might be assisted by unskilled laborers, strikers, who had the actual job of lifting the hammer and hitting the object with it.

Lots of Ukrainians live and study in Russia even after the war (I knew a Ukrainian citizen who was studying at PhysTech despite the 2022 war), and lots of families in Russia have relatives in Ukraine (and vice versa).

It makes this war even more tragic, because Ukraine and Russia are so intertwined socially and culturally, and there was no reason for Russia to escalate the war.

That said, Roskomnadzor can't fully lock down ingress and egress without drastically impacting the Russian economy and pissing off your average Russian who watches YouTube, games on Steam, and messages using Telegram.
