> GLP-1 is not a get out of jail free card. It will have long-term side effects.

Source? Because so far it seems like you and others really want it to have long-term negative effects, but that the evidence for that is made up and entirely in your head, to date.

> The Ozempic situation is just like how kids are now being prescribed Adderall in the millions, when really the problem is they are just given iPads too much and fed unhealthy food that causes ADHD. Adderall doesn’t address the cause.

Ah, finally, the mask comes off. Your issue is with people getting help for disorders and illnesses they have, period.

The trope that ADHD is caused by iPads is nonsense. ADHD is caused by an underdeveloped pre-frontal cortex. Plenty of kids actually have it. I did, for sure. I wish I had found out what ADHD was, instead of holding my preconception about what it was, much earlier in life. I didn’t need that struggle against a thing I could never beat, because your brain controls everything you do.

> Then you end up with a slave population that needs this medication to function. which is only good for the pharma companies making money on those meds.

Do you? Show me a “slave population” that “needs adderall to function.”
Yes, they could (And it seems likely) discontinue the .io domain, first stopping new registrations then giving everyone a timeline to move off it (Hopefully 3-5 years). But if they want to pull the plug they have the authority to do so

> Since the invasion, providing any services in Russia is understandably fraught. Governments have been united in imposing a stream of new sanctions and there have even been some calls to disconnect Russia from the global Internet. As discussed by ICANN, the Internet Society, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Techdirt, among others, the consequences of such a shutdown would be profound.

> Beyond this, we have received several calls to terminate all of Cloudflare's services inside Russia. We have carefully considered these requests and discussed them with government and civil society experts. Our conclusion, in consultation with those experts, is that Russia needs more Internet access, not less.
A geologist friend of mine in the PNW has taught me that this is normal, you can make few predictions and everything is unclear. Every time I ask whether something is connected I get "it could be but only sometimes and we don't know for sure". Though the word "just" is almost always unnecessary.

3 million queries/second across 16k nodes seems pretty heavy on redundancy?
I take your point about mastery. Especially FP, where it's very clear that mastery of it is extremely powerful. On the other hand, there are some like our regular synchronization primitives where not even mastery will save you. Even experienced developers will make mistakes and find them harder to deal with than other higher-level abstractions. Where CPS fits on this curve, I don't know. I feel pretty confident about where FP and Mutexes sit. But I have yet to see something where I feel I'd rather use CPS than an async stream result.

The author focuses on ClearType and other methods of rendering size-accurate and style-accurate fonts, but blurry text. I hate blurry text, with or without color fringing. I am willing to sacrifice size and glyph style for text clarity/sharpness, while the article author, apparently does not. We all have different preferences.

Now, some technical comments:

It is physically impossible to render size-accurate characters on a bitmap display and not have blurry text. If the font size means the line of "l" should be 1.5 pixels wide, then there's only two possibilities to render sharp text: make it 1px wide or make it 2px wide. Any of these two choices doesn't respect font size (1.5), and any other rendering method means at least one pixel column that is some form of gray or color fringing. On LCDs with vertically alligned sub-pixels, even 1px has fringing, but at least it's sharp.

Traditionally Windows fonts were manually hinted and had rendering limitations on size. This way, all characters kept the same line thickness regardless of character line angles. And at the same time, to prevent ugly rendering, fonts weren't available in all sizes. Sizes that didn't have hinting info weren't available.

For example, there is was no Arial size 13, 15 or 17. The glyph lines would be 1px wide for sizes 8 to 14 and then suddenly jump to 2px thickness at size 16. That prevented blurry text or characters where line thickness varies whithin the same character or between characters of the same size.

Manual font hinting takes DAYS for a single character! It's almost like making bitmap fonts. Linux didn't (and still doesn't) have hinted fonts. Because of that, Linux doesn't restrict font sizes. Not even for fonts that are hinted. All sizes are available. This leads to: 1) blurry fonts with aliasing and sub-pixel rendering or 2) ugly text where line thickness varies randomly between characters or even within the same character.

There is no solution and there can't be any, because restricting font sizes to just those with hinting info excludes the vast majority of Linux fonts, which have no hinting at all, at any size. The only way to make text look decent is to enable antialiasing that causes blurry text and/or sub-pixel rendering which causes color fringing.

Hardware will, once again, save us from the crippled sorry state of the software. Once hi-dpi displays become common, this won't be a problem anymore. Character lines can be several px wide and a variation of one extra px here and there in line thickness won't matter anymore.
That's 200 qps per node, assuming perfect load balancing.
Good write-up. IME, you can meditate enough that you can sometimes consciously choose to slow time down to devote more and more attention to something.

The key advantage of this is you can jumpstart a flywheel: attention -> unmediated effort -> attention. I say unmediated because your talking mind gets out of the way or helps you (versus never shutting up). I have used this during guitar practice sessions and found them both very enjoyable and helpful in the learning process.
TBF "this Clojure library has clunky syntax that makes it brittle" is a far more sophisticated and valid critique than "it's not built on Node so no one will use it" ;)
It didn’t before. Any individual could appeal to European law via Judicial Review to overturn an act of parliament where it fell into the EU treaty ambit - particularly if they were European.

A few years ago my Mom checked prices on eBay for things she had saved for decades. The "collector" Star Wars glasses from McDonald's in 1980? $0.50. So she started using them rather than uselessly saving them.

She's quite practical that way. Thanks Mom!

Looking for feedback – SoC 2 Assessment for your business
Hey HN,
I'm showcasing my SOC 2 Assessment AI tool at an IT Security & Compliance Conference in Vienna this November. To refine it further, I’m looking for 10-15 more completed assessments and your feedback.

What's the Tool? This AI-powered SOC 2 readiness assessment is like a practice audit for your company. It gives you a clear overview of your current compliance status, delivers a detailed gap analysis, and highlights any missing or non-compliant controls — all in record time.

Even if you’re not prepping for an audit yet, an early assessment provides fast, valuable insights into your compliance posture. Think of it as stress-free SOC 2 preparation.

The Offer This week I’m offering a free (pay-what-you-want) option for my tool ("Essential" ($249) and "Complete" ($299) packages). In exchange, I would love to have your feedback .

Thanks for your time and help!

—Adam

P.S: here is the tool: https://www.soc-2-compliance.com/readiness

I would have expected better from HN that to shoot down smart people tinkering with potentially elegant solutions to complex problems. It’s something we should embrace.

Having said that, as a long term Clojure developer myself, I’m also not a big fan of this approach myself (I try to avoid libraries that use a lot of macros, and instead prefer a more “data driven” approach, which is also why I’m not a fan of spec), but I’m not one to judge.

I'd like to note that Brazil is not at all unique in being corrupt or even in the methods used. For example, watch HBO's The Wire and you'll find the police and politicians playing the exact same numbers game. It seems to be inherent to democracy, a side effect of reelection.

The films do a wondeful job depicting the poverty of Brazil, and the way it attracts people to organized crime. It attracts so many of them, they form a nation unto themselves. Complete with their own army, territory, laws, tribunals... It gets to the point it's a silent secession.
Not GP, but someone else who's also building with Go+SvelteKit. I'm embedding and hosting SvelteKit with my Go binary, and that seems to be working well so far for me. Took some figuring out to get Go embedding and hosting to play nicely with SvelteKit's adapter-static. But now that that's in place, it seems to be reliable.

There’s a guy who I work with who went to work for a crypto place that then exploded (as they all tend to do).

I do have one ear for that argument that "everything ought to be simpler". But what I've observed over and over is that many systems tends to become more complex as the result of people wanting to make them more newbie friendly.

That's certainly true of the last 10 years of Ocaml tooling evolution.
I've always been taught that "the" is for when there's a single obvious instance you're talking about. There are many policemen and women, but if I say "the police" there's only really one likely candidate which I could be talking about.

"A man" is just some guy. If I say "The man" there's a specific guy I'm talking about and I expect you to know which one.

Did you know dutch has two words for "the"? One is generally for big or important things and the other for small or unimportant things. I'm sure people trying to learn Dutch love figuring out which you use when.

Yet they would get elected again - since if it passed through Parliament it has the support of the majority of representatives and if it was done properly the consultation would have happened ahead of the decision.

Once the decision is made the minorities objecting to it can be cleared out of the way - because they have already had their say in Parliament via their representatives.

Also budgets in the U.K. are never tight and we can always afford anything we have the people to do.

AFAICT it's not actually published yet? It's a bit of a confusing situation because you can "download Rama" but it's not "full", whatever that means. See https://redplanetlabs.com/learn-rama

E: this download has "the full Rama API for use in simulated clusters within a single process", but also "Rama is currently available in a private beta." That's a highly unusual way to release what appears to be a Java library at the end of the day, but hopefully that's because it's unusually awesome! Looking forward to actual info some time in the future. I wonder if the "private beta" costs money...
I know Bengali and Assamese use a Tibetan script, anyone know how similar is it to the one Tibetans use for their language?
I wish Apple would natively support more filtering options. Same with the Phone app. I get a dozen calls a day from “Spam” or “Political” callers yet I can’t ignore or send them to voicemail. I can send every unknown number to voicemail but that’s too heavy handed to ever work. There’s a lot of valid communication with folks that I never add to my contacts, I shouldn’t have to add them to my contacts proactively just to get their initial call. I never usually know what number they’d be calling me from.

It’s the same with texts. They could filter these in a more useful way. Also, IMO, I shouldn’t see a counter bubble if I filtered out/missed a call that went to voicemail. I’m an inbox zero type and having bubbles means there’s something that needs attention. Spam doesn’t need attention.
Oh man, now there's a name I have not heard of since I was a child in the BBS scene in the 80s and 90s. My father had chats with him while getting his BBS software up and running, playing with the Ward Christensen (yes it was named after him first before being XMODEM) protocol.

RIP to the man that made BBSing a bit faster for my attention-lacking self.

Would you keep working while you go to college? If so, and you're in a serious relationship, think about the impacts on the relationship from spending all your spare time and energy on school. Is it worth losing the relationship over? Because it may be that stark a choice.

Perhaps the following could be a solution to this issue?

Any OAuth provider should send a flag called "attest_identity_ownership" (false, true) as part of the uaht flow, which is set to true if the account is a workspace account or gmail (or the equivalent for other services), and false if the email is an outside email. Thus, the service handling the login could decide whether to trust the login or proceed otherwise, e.g. by telling the user to use a different OAuth service/internal mechanism where the identity is attested.

You've never stripped a car. I have.

I don't want to underestimate what a driven person can accomplish, but I'd estimate a year of work for ten engineers with relevant experience.

I think you'll have to poach someone from the target vehicle's maker, just to get the industry contacts to source the connectors. Minimum order 10k, obvs. You'll need to keep ~100 types in stock; I guess about €10m outlay.

I think you'll have to print the cases, and you'll face issues with vibration and temperature range. How many flex cycles are you putting the parts through in testing? Are you testing for water ingress, salt spray? Or do it properly and get into injection moulding; add six months and another million or two.

After you've spent 8 figures bringing the kit to market, I might be interested, if you can sell a kit for a '94 jag at a price point way below what I imagine your unit costs will be. But I'll be claiming from you when your parts fail. Then I'm going to warn people away, even if your customer service is excellent, because I've now lost acres of knuckle skin and snapped some of the interior trim getting to these parts.

You have had cease and desists notices in the past in regards to the product. It is hardly a deep conspiracy to think they will send the same notices to other platforms; irrespective of if they own them or not.

The real "danger" when it comes to GitHub is their success and the mainstream nature of the product - they are very unlikely to tollerate any questionable content.

As has to be pointed out far too often, when it comes to court orders - CEOs (especially those who are billionaires) will NOT select the option of "go to jail" over complying with court orders.
I suppose the reason is that sometimes you want to parse more than just the number. For example, numbers separated by commas. In that case you will have to call the function repeatedly from your own parsing routine and advance the pointer.

That's exactly it, thank you! What worries me with the current one that landed is the gradient: because the arms are short and the spot is tight, the burden is on the booster to make very sharp corrections (especially on pitch) to get caught when there's literally a few meters left, with an increased risk at the worst time (no altitude, and structures around), as opposed to leaving the pitch as is and landing vertically. In other words: the possibility to screw a perfect launch by introducing irremediable risk in the last few seconds and meters.

Then again, I just watched the launch and that was the first thing that popped into my mind, and the first "design" that popped into my mind as I was replying to the thread, so not much thought went into it.

Going back to first principles, modulating the frequency instead of the amplitude inherently makes the system less lossy.
