It's not a problem, just transition to new writing instruments. I completely forgot how to write in my birth language (Russian) while my English handwriting is slow and messy. Doesn't affect me in any way. There is a valid need to leave a note when technology is not handy, sounds like pinyin solves this problem. Although, unless we are talking scratching out a message with a sharp stone, ballpoint pen and paper is also complex technology.

There is nothing wrong with being sentimental, I lift heavy weights, collect vinyl and do film photography because I like the aesthetic of these activities.

Aberdeen Angus Steak House is a real group of central London restaurants. They are famous for expensive bad food. Supposedly making a fortune from jetlagged tourists. Reddit is praising them as a joke. This is confusing automated AI helpers. I'm suspicious the linked article was partly written by AI.
It is reproducible only with a narrow definition.

Usually "deterministic" is used instead to describe this.

PPP IMO is very useful when comparing quality of life for example when considering moving. However, in that case you also want look at median PPP income, not even PPP GDP per capita and especially not total PPP GDP.
> The first part is obvious.

Is it, though? It seems like many struggle with the first part.

Does snacking on a vending machine Duchess Honey Bun or a sleeve of Oreos qualify as "eat food?" How about popping open a cup of instant ramen or microwaving some frozen taquitos? I'd call all of that eating junk, but I think that's the root of the issue.
Why the inflammatory jibe? PPP as a concept wasn't necessarily created by or for poor countries' nationalists.

Sorry about your low self-control =\
For this specific example it's a visual block select of <foo > / <baz > cut and then visual select of <1st > / <2nd > and paste. But that's relying on things being the right width.

This is two lines, if everything was a different length, I think by the time I got multiple cursors to do this, I would have long managed by just doing the same editing task twice (cut overwrite-paste then cut overwrite-paste).

If I had to do this for many more lines I would have just used a substitution:

:s/\(.*\)"\(\w\+\) \(\w\+\)" # \(.*\)\(\d\+\w\+\).\*/\1"\3" # \4\2 key/

And yes, that's 100% unreadable, but it was easy to write with the preview mode on modern neovim.

Although in this case I think a macro would probably be what I would settle on. This macro would look like:

^wdw/the<ret>wvawpwciwkey<esc>j (<ret> and <esc> are ^M and ^[ but I replaced them to avoid confusion)

But these are already the motions you would need to use to keep the multiple cursors in alignment. The thing is though that if you screw up it's usually easier to unscrew yourself when it's just one line than when you've gone ahead and screwed up 20 times. Yes it's still just an undo but when I've used multiple cursors, especially when you're trying to break up lines, you're forced to deal with that breaking up happening in all cursors. Things quickly get overwhelming.

Multiple cursors are effectively (in my experience) just macro recording with automatic playback simultaneously at all the positions you care about. Whereas if you just record a macro and apply it wherever you would otherwise place your cursors, you get the same result without having the visual mess of dealing with multiple cursors. And it's just as error prone as macros.

Show HN: Tiny Golang CLI tool to manage SQL migrations
I didn't want to have ORMs configured just to make database migrations easier to deal with. I love golang's multi platform support and so I made a tiny SQL migration tool, ~800 LOC that will track and migrate your database changes as your application grows in complexity.
I feel like the interesting part is mostly https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer/android_transla... which is probably an alternative to waydroid, but maybe more like WINE so it doesn't need the binder kernel module?

EDIT to add: I also think packaging up an application plus the compatibility layer using flatpak[0] is a really nice idea; it lets you 1. make those apps available in a way that nearly appears native, 2. lets you get users/testers on your compat layer easily, while 3. scoping it to a single app at a time to make it easier to do things like "well we've got this one app working, but how do we tell people that without them expecting other things to work that aren't implemented yet?". Excellent symbiosis:)

[0] Strictly speaking there shouldn't be anything requiring flatpak here... I think there's no technical blocker preventing you making a debian package for the ATL and another for NewPipe and sticking them in a repo/PPA that people could add. But I do somewhat feel that flatpak lends itself to this usecase.

I understand his point and think it's an interesting observation, but honestly I disagree. What AI is great at is handling all the bullshit writing tasks that you have to do that no one reads or cares about. For example I got asked to write a blurb for a company newsletter recently. Told an LLM the things I needed to talk about and how long it should be, and the tone I was shooting for. Done in less than a few minutes. Previously that would have taken me at least an hour.
The actual value of a currency is not all that relevant. The Japanese Yen is worth less than the Indian Rupee, but the cost of living in India is a lot lower.
Can confirm. I lived for a substantial amount of time in Russia, Israel and Argentina, and in a lot of other countries for about a month. Food price comparisons at sites like Numbeo don't take quality into account at all. May be they can be used to compare heavily pre-processed foods like Doritos, but “block of Parmesan”, “a cheap bottle of local dry white wine” or “1kg of beef” can mean radically different things I'm practice.
Is the world often bizarre to you?
You might think so, but if you do the math, the difference between 165 cm tall and 180 cm tall scaled to an 8 cm wide hand is only 7 mm.

If you're the CIA, the Pentagon, or the government I think ot does tell you something about other countries' capacity for production and procurement.

Perhaps it costs x billions to build so many missiles in the US so you might think that, say, India can't afford that. But on the other hand it is much cheaper for them to build a missile so all in all they might be able to build as many as the US.

>But dems have had plenty of chances to pass meaningful changes in the past decade

I don't think we've had a Democratic president, a Democratic House, and a 60-seat Democratic majority in Congress in the past decade.

We have had meaningful improvements to healthcare for millions, though we don't have a public option. We are fighting against a right-wing political party looking to defund public education.

I'm curious how you say "civil rights" are broken: Do you mean privacy against a police state? I agree big tech and government can see and do too much without cause.
> Creationism is mental gymnastics to support an established orthodoxy.

As a creationist, if I believe that God as described in the Bible exists, and I have a statement from Him on how the world was created, that also matches every observation I have made of the world around me, isn't it ridiculous to believe in something else that contradicts the Bible?
> we can’t read out of the corner of our eyes, no matter how hard we try

This is not quite true. Reading via peripheral vision is a skill, but most people never have the right kind of motivation (and perhaps not the right kind of visual stimulus) to learn it. I know this because I have personally known someone who read exclusively via her peripheral vision.

There's an inherited retinal disease that runs in my family. It's a form of 'cone-rod dystrophy'. Cone-rod dystrophies are diseases where the cones and the rods in the eye eventually stop responding to light. The order of the terms in the naming reflects the typical order of the dystrophy: first the cones (responsible for central vision) go, then the rods (responsible for peripheral vision) go, too. As the cones and rods go bad, this results in loss of visual acuity in central and peripheral vision respectively. (It often causes lots of other, less generic problems, too, such as: blind spots, warping/twisting distortions in the visual field, sometimes flickering artifacts, progressive colorblindness, extreme light sensitivity, and an effective reduction of contrast.)

Between individual cases, there's a lot of variation in how the disease presents. There's no fixed timeline or ordering for the progression (even though the disease's genetic cause has been identified as just a single gene!).

Anyhow, in my late aunt's case, her central vision was useless long before her peripheral vision could give out. So she learned, somehow, to do things like read her smartphone using only her peripheral vision.

We chatted about it once or twice. Onlookers often could not comprehend that she was looking at her phone, since her eyes weren't pointed towards it. She once laughed to me about how someone had asked her 'Why are you sniffing your phone?', while she held it up to her face to read a text message.

My impression is that learning to rely on your peripheral vision in this way is extremely counter-intuitive and difficult to do. (This may have something to do with the mechanisms discussed in TFA.) I wonder if it can even be done at all without first obscuring one's central vision (which I guess you could do artificially with contacts). But evidently it can be done.
Does it show the perils though?

Which doesn't surprise me.

In very general term, you either use GPD to compare countries' "economic strenght", or GDP per capita (PPP) to compare how it translate for their potential for each citizen.

I feel like GDP per capita (non PPP) or GDP (PPP) are not very useful unless you want to make the numbers say whatever your story claims.
Let's get real here: the benefits in the USDA Food Pyramid are benefits for agribusiness and the big subsidized food producers. The benefits that the USDA pushes have nothing to do with good nutrition for the average citizen. This is 100% "regulatory capture" as we call it around here. The Food Pyramid is a scam and a hoax, and the more it can be ignored, the better.

When I joined a Christian Health Sharing ministry, they determined that I needed remedial help, due to hypertension and dyslipidemia. They assigned me to monthly virtual meetings with a dietician. The dietician's advice horrified me, because it would've made me sicker, and exacerbated my conditions. I approached the ministry's administrators, requested a replacement dietician, and they replaced her alright. The new dietician had basically the same credentials and the same letters after her name, but she was way more flexible, listened to my reasoning, and supported my choices with encouragement.

My parents followed every "diet fad" in the 1970s-1980s, from 2% milk, to margarine, to yolk-less-egg-whites, to reducing red meat, to low-sodium everythings, to bottled fluoridated water. It was sheer torture and disgusting. My mother didn't know the first thing about flavor or pleasure in cooking, and never used the spices in her rack. Our food was always bland. For breakfast she'd slap down a jug of milk, a box of Chex, a bowl and a spoon, and abandon me to go do housework. I would sit there and read the mendacious lies known as "Nutrition Panel" on the side, and simply stewed in my resentment for the whole thing. It's a travesty.
That’s the -F option to list all the formats, including the audio streams. Pick the audio format with -f to download the audio. I usually pick the .m4a format and then run it through ffmpeg to convert to mp3.
Can you imagine their fork extending git with a feature which is incompatible to mainline git and then forcing user's to switch to their fork via github? I can, and it will give them the power to extinguish mainline git and force everything they want on their users (telemetry, licence agreements, online registration...). That might be the reason they're embracing git right now. The fork being open source doesn't help at all.

I'm not saying this shouldn't be merged, but I think people should be aware and see the early signs.

Ask HN: Recommend Storage VPS Providers
I have my own CDN setup and am looking for VPS providers with favourable traffic, bandwidth and storage parameters at good price. Specifically a 1Gbit, preferable as much as possible though(3,5,10..), at least 2TB storage(again, preferably as much as possible), at least 30TB/m traffic. CPU and RAM are irrelevant.

I have found a suitable one for Central Europe but that's about it. I need something for North America, South-East Asia/Oceania and East Europe/Russia/India and Latin America.

In US there is Cloudfanatic which has 10Gbit for 42$/month but absolutely laughable storage.

Contabo has multiple offerings but there is always something off making it too expensive.

OVH has some storage VPS with great storage but laughable networking.

Any big brands are just ovepriced and finding less known providers is quite hard without referrals.

The provider I found for Europe has, for example, 2x vCPU@2GHz, 2TB storage, 4GB RAM, 3 Gbit bandwidth, 30TB/m traffic at around 14.50€/15.5$, so this is the benchmark to compare with. There are more offerings but this is the bottom I am looking for.

The number 24 is larger, but the network is smaller.
I don’t understand the distinction you’re making compared to what I wrote.
hmm. I'm not sure where MSN is going with all the mechanism to handle partiality.

JUNK makes everything total, so composition just works, and refinement doesn't need to take into account domain; the following:

f \refines g <=> f`x ~ g`x NB. (~) is (<=) for bunches

is true for ∀x, not just implied when x in dom`g.

On the other side, for program correctness, I'd always thought the whole point of Hoare triples was that in {p}f{q};{q}g{r}, {p} is chosen (wp or wlp) explicitly so that never not {q} ... which in turn ensures {r}.
MS has had their fork of git for years, and they contributed many performance features for monorepos since then to the mainline.

I have never seen a permaculture designer, or anyone, make such a claim. We aim to reduce maintenance by design, using methods that overlap with Lean Manufacturing and other process study, but it would be absurd to claim that it’s possible to reduce gardening to zero maintenance. Fukuoka was more extreme than many permaculture specialists by quite a large factor but he put his maintenance right in the title of his signature work: “one-straw revolution”.

Well, we read the article, which cites many studies. Maybe she is doing a super selective review of the field, but she does not merely quote one study, but several, all of which indicate that there is no correlation between saturated fat and cardiovascular problems.

IOW, we did not merely "read and trusted one random article" but assessed the presented evidence. You OTOH, merely provided ad-hominem attack on both the author and anyone who dared believe the presented evidence, which smacks of trying to shame people in not voicing their opinion.
You should see the stuff that comes from Reddit.
The idea seems interesting, however (and I dont mean to kill your spirit) I see one thing that could block people from renting a space: why would I trust a stranger to let them into my home? Similar to tenants: why would I trust a stranger and come to their house? Sorry to say this, but this idea seems like a predator magnet for all weird people that want to do weird stuff to others. Unless you provide some KYC process (which we all know is not bulletproof) I would rather stick to a cafe and work from there.

Do you have any plans to tackle that objection?
One thing that comes to mind is that the voltage difference determines the force on the charged particle, but in principle if the voltage can be maintained, then the same force could be used put an arbitrary amount of energy into the particle. So, at most 350 keV the first time around, but then at most 350 keV the second time around, and the third...

I know almost nothing about particle physics.

> Economically they're in very rough shape

What does this even mean? I would have expected it to mean "can't wage war", "people are starving and storming the palace". Obviously not. So? Other than numbers, what does it really mean? If it's just "they have less luxuries", maybe it does not matter that much.
I keep seeing people say this.

What are these? Have you seen a hummer or a ford F2 or f350? What about a Lexus LS or GX? Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator?

What about a Camry other than its size specifically is for pedestrians when hit?

Then we have the smart car. A small bubble designed to not crush. Fairly sure if that thing hits somebody they are not going to be “gee I am glad that the car makers made this car so safe for me being hit by it”

I can think very hard what a car would look like that would be pedestrian safe, and what features it would have. And none of any cars today look like they would be safe.

As for features for safety only one comes in mind, automatic breaking for pedestrians.

As for the cyber truck. The bend up front looks a lot more safe than most of the other pointy cars.
So the entire argument here is that using sqlite to store files prevents visitors from seeing partial/mid-way changes when updating a website (a process that would take seconds)? Is that really a problem?

Otherwise the file system is far superior for every "benefit" they list. And far easier to work with other software and more robust over time (nothing to change/break).

Programming using a language like Lua has the advantage over Scratch-like environments (which a friend suggested I use instead) that you can talk about your code more easily if it is based on keyboard entry of keywords and operators
