Container tabs[1] are great for these. My work browser has a separate container for each of my frequently used Azure logins. When I need to use one of those pesky apps, I just open it in the respective container.

This sounds like you've misconfigured your alarm. Ours only makes a small non-loud reminder chirp until a certain time after activation and not receiving the shutoff code. The only loud part is if you don't enter the code on time.

Pretty much the only way I've ever seen door alarms configured.

The way yours is configured would result in a "Crying Wolf" situation where everyone is so used to hearing it go off they'll just ignore it as usual if there is an actual breakin - just like car alarms at apartment complexes.
Yeah, this would get what songs a user that has similar tastes like, but many times is based on an individuals exact mood at the moment.
Before I wrote a single line of code, I championed my abilities to add/subtract individuals from photos for family and friends, first using ClarisWorks Paint! My Samsung S22 can now do this within seconds and better. I removed a TV in front of some liquor bottles on the wall. It repeated the bottles but not even the same ones!
I know solo projects always have an infinite list of "nice to haves". But personally I never skimp on vendoring dependencies.

In my experience, not vendoring has _always_ led to breakages that are hard to debug and fix.

Meanwhile, vendoring is quite easy nowadays. Every reasonable package manager, and even npm, can do this near-trivially.
What about if I say, "Please don't smash that like button" or "Smash that like button if you're an idiot"? Just wondering if it is based on transcript-grepping or does it even consider sentence semantics? (I know, overkill. Please don't implement that, YT engineers. You've heard of "boiling the ocean to make a cup of tea", right?)
I'd go for an action log. It's almost the same thing, but notifications imply ephemeral pokes about some of the stuff that happened, mixed with engagement boosting spam - there's a lot of unpredictability embedded in this concept, as the app is usually trying to guess what you may (or it thinks you should) find relevant.

An action/activity log is just a reverse-chonological log of things that happened. You could make one by recording every would-be toast and putting it on that list, complete with a timestamp, and any of the context-relevant action buttons (like "undo", or "view item", etc.). The list should be a fixed recording[0], without any way to dismiss some or all of the entries. Add some attention-grabbing indicator whenever something is added there, and you get all the benefits of toasts with none of the drawbacks: the log lets you report completion of optimistically-executed actions, provide place for context-relevant buttons, and also is accessible, can be browsed at uses' own time, improves discoverability and learning, and can be upgraded to also enable undo feature.

[0] - Well, appended from top, and possibly unwinded by undo. Users understand that. Can't be append-only, because mixing that with undo gives you the undo system from Emacs - very powerful but also nearly incomprehensible to most people.
tl;dr: Some sun is good. No sun, or too much sun, is bad.

This advice will probably never change, regardless of qualified studies.
Sun exposure has been inversely correlated with depression, and frankly depression by itself is worse than all the negative effects of UV I'm aware of combined.
I agree that he had to come to the US to do science while dealing with a whole lot of different racial BS when he did. The same Wiki articles and his later lectures say that he considered Eddington a friend despite all the sabotage. The academic establishment was derelict in not backing him but that's common.

In a sort-of similar case, Oppenheimer kept shooting Dyson down when the latter was explaining his synthesis of the different approaches to QED. Bethe had to intervene for him to be allowed to speak. I acknowledge that it is an imperfect analogy since Dyson was as British as they came and there was not the racist angle. I think Chandrasekhar's legacy is assured despite his own misgivings. He is remembered and admired and will be for a long time. Regrets? He had a few but he did it his way.

After all, the Nobel Committee only cited Einstein for the photoelectric effect.
That really depends on what type of service we're talking about. Yeah, if you're doing really high volume sales on products that can be purchased elsewhere for close to the same price and shipping options, then uptime is critical. That's not the situation most of us are in.
I don't buy that as an argument. It's the same argument used to push all kind of hoaxes or fad stuff. We live longer than what we used to do, so not everything we did in the stone ages can have been beneficial.

Where is the FBI? The FBI is like white on rice when it comes to ransomware, crypto mixers, dark web, or hacks, but what about YouTube giveaway scams or deep fakes? I am sure they must be aware of this problem, given how many Americans have been scammed and have presumably reported the losses? Or is this a grey area in which because the victim sent the money, instead of was hacked, that somehow it's harder to prosecute these cases? Even though the scammers are overseas, the FBI can still put out a statement acknowledging it. Russians overseas have still been charged in ransomware cases even if they cannot be arrested.

YouTube scammers make more $ with giveaway scams compared to hacks or ransomware. Fraudulent livestream run under the radar, compared to ransomware, which gets too much media attention, resulting in tainted crypto and unwanted press. Also, YouTube is to blame for allowing these scam videos to run and allowing the channels to be hacked and repurposed to run scams. If youtube treated scam videos like other illegal content the videos would be gone overnight and for good.
That can be for other reasons, though. Like one's upper arm is often looser or have more fat below the skin, making it a different texture than the more taught lower arms.

I think you can look into what humans desire for their ideal vacation places. The subconscious guides the conscious. This usually involves a sunny beach and water. Or at least a pool. Tropical fruits for breakfast and eggs is kind of a hotel standard for a reason too. Good nutrition and an a fun adventures day. Kind of polar opposite of dark depression.

Not too soud woowoo, but people with good vibes and sunny energy is what you should seek too.
too much is bad, too little is bad, these doctors are not helping very much.
those look great, you should post a Show HN about them. I'd be interested to know more about your process if you're comfortable sharing.

This would appear to be an indication of lack of water and not too much sun.

HATEOAS is more about a standard, discoverable and consistent way to navigate around resources in a RESTful fashion. Which is nice, even if it didn't really catch on to a large degree. I think that's somewhat orthogonal to he point you're making.

I think your point is good though, that an ephemeral toast message is a cheap way to avoid having to manage and expose the underlying state. Exposing that via a HATEOAS REST API would be even better!

Ahoy, blazer and field_test form the basis of our very strong no-BS data infra. It is so simple.

I still want to try and combine ahoy with a column store in postgres so that we can run the analytical queries straight onto postgres instead of syncing the events to BigQuery.

I've tried using pg_analytics by Paradedb but they don't support json columns, which is necessary with ahoy. Performance wise that would be ideal though.
But the benefits seem to outweigh the risks. Mortality from cancer, including melanoma, is lower with higher sun exposure. We have known this since Berwick's 2005 study into mortality from Melanoma, and Lindqvist's 2016 study showed that all-cause mortality was reduced with UV exposure.
Would note that full-spectrum light penetrates thin layers of clothing such that you can still yield some benefits being outside fully clothed, with mitigated risk. Also, even with sunscreen you'll synthesize some vitamin D. You'd have to really lay it on thick over all of your body to meaningfully prevent that, and it only lasts for a limited time anyway.

On sunscreen there's talk about non-mineral ones having compounds that traverse the blood-brain barrier, but not much to suggest it can be dangerous. Since mineral sunscreens are oilier, my approach is to slather that type on my body, and use an alternative for my face using a light amount.
> the association with an old British poem

Wait, are you sure about that? Wikipedia says "an 1869 minstrel song". I had assumed it was a song from the USA that happened to be fairly well known in Britain.

Also I have the impression that the word "nigger" is not traditional in British English. The first time I came across the word was when reading Mark Twain. I had previously heard several words used for referring to darker-skinned people but not that one. Of course that's just my experience from one part of the country.

Yeah, in that case, they're simultaneously hinting that you've been caught in an ML capture net, yet provide you with a means to bypass it, negating the automated mechanism they used to prevent bad behaviour in the first place.
They pour money into engineering and hardware resources into stuff like this but still claim that DMCA abuse (by media companies, blackmailers, griefers, and reputation management activity) is an unsolvable problem?

Yet...they can't hire more staff, implement databases to track malicious/unreliable DMCA submitters, and falsely-targeted creators for whom complaints are likely BS, and implement AI-powered tools to assist with all of this?
> Further cynicism could be layered in if you consider some of the blocks of donors (infrastructure contractors / RE devs / etc) and blocks of voters (union transit workers & construction workers) who are recipients again of the spending but not the outcomes.

It's probably best to think of an initial budget as a foothold, and that its ideal amount is low enough to be approved, but high enough to prevent the organization from changing direction after realizing that it's not going to be nearly enough i.e. to think in terms of "pot-commitment."
It will be the STT they use for their automatic captioning so it should be as accurate as whatever that produces. It would be the height of inefficiency to do a separate STT run over the entire audio just for this gimmick.

Sunlight can definitely clear up some skin conditions like eczema. I don't know about making skin healthier in general though. It 100% causes aging in skin though so any "healthier" skin you get will be totally wiped out by the wrinkly mess it becomes in your 40s.

The message we should send kids is not "wear suncream; it prevents cancer" it's "wear suncream; it prevents wrinkles". Surprising how many people don't even know that.

There's a famous photo that demonstrates it very obviously:

Reducing everything to “good for you” or “bad for you” is the media’s favorite game. Nuance is hard, so reducing complex topics to extreme statements makes them easy to digest. It also creates an opportunity for them to manufacture debate whenever a new piece of information comes out that doesn’t fit into their self-created bipolar conception.

As always with these topics: UV exposure isn’t something that can be reduced to “good” or “bad”. Both extremes of complete UV avoidance and excess UV exposure have consequences.

What people frequently miss on this topic is that sunscreen isn’t a 100% effective UV blocker. People who cover themselves in sunscreen and then spend significant time outside are receiving some UV exposure. This fact is lost on many people, which is why skin cancer rates can be higher in people who use a lot of sunscreen. Sunscreen enables people to spend more time in the sun and be less covered, which can paradoxically lead people to get more UV exposure over more of their body than, for example, the person who works outside M-F but covers up with long sleeves, hats, and pants (like you will see in yard work crews, construction workers, and other trades).

These headlines are difficult because some people read them as an invitation to stop using sunscreen but continue their old habits, pushing their UV exposure deep into the high risk region of the benefit-reward curves.
FWIW, I agree with the comment that was flagged to death. What did they say that was so bad it needed to be dead?
> Unless something big changes, world population will start to fall in a few decades, after which it will most likely rise again due to insular fertile subcultures like the Amish.

Hey, buddy? The Amish people aren't the reason why human procreation persists as a concept across ages. Suggesting things that are easily disproved is a pretty terrible hook unless you're trying to stoke the flames of religious contempt. Maybe consider presenting factual evidence to support your claim, or choose an altogether non-stupid assertion to lead with.

Nice strawman. There was never a "net zero at any cost" policy.
I know this is just a fun little easter egg, but features like this seems a little risky to me. It calls attention to the fact that Youtube isn't just serving me videos neutrally, it knows what is being said in those videos at the exact moment it is said. It highlights how much Google analyses the content of its videos in a way that more neutral features like automatic transcripts don't and in turn how much that can teach Google about me based on the videos I watch. It isn't that I didn't know Google had this ability, but foregrounding it underlines Google's Big Brother nature in a way that makes me want to use Youtube less and not more.
Isn't sunscreen use enough?
This is actually an area I’m solving right now in the robotics space - you’ve got it exactly right. You need to restrict usage of calls to query the system time, deep control over the message passing later, and a custom scheduler for executing message handlers.

Edit: trading systems isn’t an area I considered for this work. A lot of parallels, though.
Because studies into vitamin D supplementation haven't shown that it reduces mortality, and because there are other benefits of sunlight, such as nitric oxide.
I believe it goes back to an over generalization that nearly all skin cancers must be caused by exposure to the sun's UV rays.

That's so often the case. I was recently looking at supply chain security / SBOM software. "Coincidentally", 3 different vendors with 3 very different products quoted us the exact same annual price for the features we wanted, and that price was on the order of magnitude of "hire someone to do this manually full-time".

There are IMO too many companies that have no tier between Free and Enterprise. I understand the desire to focus on a small number of whales, but can't help feeling like that's leaving money on the table from all the smaller companies who'd be willing to pay something in the middle.

I admire the consideration Richard and the rest of the Roc community put into the language, but I'm curious whether the absence of macros will unavoidably lead to code like https://github.com/agu-z/roc-pg?tab=readme-ov-file#examples . It's not obvious to me that the benefits of that constraint (teachability, language tooling) outweigh the costs of writing code that probably should be automated.

That said, I may just be showing my lisp bias, and tools like Squirrel in Gleam are sufficient https://hexdocs.pm/squirrel/
What a dismal view of the world that is! Such a life would not be worth the trouble of living, so I'll simply discard your argument and assume that you must be wrong. Call it an inversion of the anthropic principle, perhaps.
Here is IM Silman's (known for being one of the best chess coaches in the world when he was alive) review of his book:

https://web.archive.org/web/20190911065113/dev.jeremysilman....

> When all is said and done, I can’t recommend Rapid Chess Improvement (a book that, in my view, offers a philosophically bankrupt vision of what chess is). It smacks of "the blind leading the blind.” But, as I said earlier, his book might prove useful for some.

Also, a rating improvement from a 1300 start after a long spell of no rated games often means a lot of skill improvement in that gap, and then a corresponding adjustment in rating. Perhaps the guy was a bridge or Magic: the Gathering player and already had a decent intuition for games and needed to transfer that to chess. Disregarding that drilling 1000 tactical problems sounds a lot like a memorization plan to me, he also clearly knows the e4 opening given the game analysis quoted in Silman's review.

From https://www.chess.com/article/view/the-michael-de-la-maza-st...:

> Like many adults, he assumed that he needed to augment his natural skills and intelligence by compiling chess knowledge: he studied openings, endgames, and other "chess knowledge" information. Despite all that accumulation of knowledge, he was getting nowhere.

Huh... did someone study some openings and endgames? His tactical game was likely the weakest part of his game so he remedied that error and got rapid improvement. Not in spite of failing to study openings and endgames, but because he did study them, just out of order.

Sure he didn't know the quarter-pawn-advantage grandmaster lines (which you don't need to know as a 1600), but he knew the traps and how to avoid them.
>I can't upgrade or extend it myself if the app does get depreciated, and I can't complain to Apple since normally they're the ones choosing what to depreciate. Best case scenario I get 2-4 years out of my purchase before it's depreciated, assuming I don't get bored with it or find a better solution.

I still don't understand the problem. Lets assume you got exactly 1 year out of this app before it irreparably broke and the author didn't update it. $30 / 365 days works out to a whopping 8¢ per day. If you need or want this functionality, is it worth 8¢ per day to you to not have to code it yourself even if only for a year?

> Sometimes I wonder how much software on MacOS would be free if notarization didn't cost money.

MacOS has always had a very strong small developer scene that lived on small apps selling at small prices, long before notarization was a thing. One of the most famous small mac developers Ambrosia Software went for decades on shareware models for most of their software, including little utilities like this. Rogue Amoeba continues that trend. NetNewswire was a shareware RSS app before it went free. Likewise the Omni Group was charging for MacOS software long before this as well.

And again, why is this a problem? Why do you want to treat software like the work that went into that software has no value? Why shouldn't people who do work you find useful get paid for their work?
Majority of the internet is your "leave the webpage" example so by allowing shady ad tech sites to use these tactics you're just promoting the proliferation of a shittier internet. Being subjective in this case makes no sense to me unless you have skin in the game so I'll assume you do.

As an exaggerated albeit relevant comparison; this is like saying you don't want police even though there are lots of criminals, you can always just walk away if things look suspicious. This assumes you have the eye to determine what is suspicious. I was hoping I wouldn't have to worry about crime in the first place.
