There was a point in history where medics were not aware of concept of “normal body human temperature”.

Then somebody took a sample of people, and measured their body temp and also asked if they were feeling well.

Average among those who felt well was 36.88 °C (98.38 °F) and that was declared normal.
(Then in geneal education books it was rounded+shifted and any variation found by the study forgotten)

I found it quite interesting, because I knew normal temp value whole my life, but never even stopped to think where it came from. (I guess in passing thought I imagined that this value was fundamental constant of the universe derived from quantum physics)

My conclusions:

- Studies by necessity are performed on groups on people.

- when it comes to healing an individual, medical knowledge is huge and complex network of rules of thumb (that work on average but there is no such thing as whole medicine field tailored for you)

- there is no better way (listening to your doctor is a good idea)
It kind of is for individuals. They don't bother punishing you too hard for pirating it anymore. I can't change my wallpaper unless I go legit? Oooo, I'm so scared!

Microsoft remembers Bill Gates's mantra that piracy at the individual level actually gets you an audience who will then sign on the dotted line once the big-money deals -- enterprise license contracts -- need to be made.
Having a PhD in a field doesn't make you an intellectual. It means you worked long enough to have a defensible dissertation. I know some absolute morons who have PhDs.
It sounds like your intuition was just to not play, correct?

Or, after playing 10 times and not winning, to stop.
Judgment based on what? The five-second interaction we have while they're doing twenty other things thirty feet away?
This doesn’t sound good to me. Would you do the same with some functional code rather than creating an external versioned library?

Terraform or CDK I would want a simple shareable thing that did the boilerplate that I called with any variables I needed to change.
> In this question, how does "some automatic bureaucracy" differ from simple normal functioning of businesses?

If you mean what you wrote, "normal", then I'd say yes -- it does matter a
lot, but if you'd mean "healthy", then I'd say that it shouldn't matter
at all.

A bidet for under 100$?
I bought a Logitech K860 ergonomic keyboard for under $100 for the same reason (wrist pain). Since I use it (2 weeks), the pain alsmot disappeared too.

I wish I bought one years ago.

Also, for less than $100, I have a Kensigton track ball for years.
Those examples have tangible real world effects before they become permanently irreversible.
It's not a "stretch", it is exactly that. It's widely known by anyone familiar with the hardware that Gamecube and Wii are basically the same console: it's the exact same architecture but the Wii has upgraded/faster components and (this whas the key:) different peripherals and bet on the motion controls. It's more or less like comparing the Intel 386SX with 20 MHz and the AMD 386DX with 40 MHz.

You could just ask the developers of Dolphin (Gamecube/Wii emulator). There's a reason for why the same emulator can emulate both consoles.
Basically I'm trying to write a better Linux than Linux and a better QNX than QNX, at least for certain use cases that is. At least initially, my primary focus is on workstation/enthusiast desktops and higher-end embedded systems (some types of servers, especially ones where high security is important, are also a focus as well but maybe not quite as much for now). Pure consumer desktops aren't really much of a priority; the goal is to make something that's approachable but definitely not dumbed down. Almost every day I see people complaining about mainstream OSes and I think there's an opportunity for an OS that's cleaner and more integrated than Linux and has various advanced features not found in Linux, but still tries to maintain a high degree of compatibility with it. I'm not really trying to clone QNX or Linux 1:1, but I am trying to maintain similar enough semantics to allow easy implementation of compatibility layers for both systems.

At the moment I have a working microkernel and an incomplete process server with a partially-implemented VFS but no support for running regular user processes. Currently I am working on some of the first special filesystems built into the process server (specifically an early log/console device at the moment).

The kernel is a hard fork of seL4 (the biggest addition at the moment is a preliminary implementation of QNX-style arbitrary-length arbitrary-address message copying); I've forked it because seL4 is focused on lower-end static embedded systems, and full verification of just the kernel isn't really particularly useful for a dynamic OS when all of the servers are unverified. The process server is written in Rust, and it's likely most of the other low-level servers will be as well, although I'm not really writing a "Rust OS" as such. Many of the basic utilities will most likely be BSD-derived, and some of the higher-level desktop-related stuff may be written in various other languages (haven't completely decided there).
Oh nice, I forgot about that!
Interesting. That makes sense. Thanks!
I assume he's talking about people self-hosting gitlab CE since the paid versions cost the same regardless. But if that's the comparison, then I would expect to compare to folks who exclusively use github's free offering.
Not necessarily. They have old car auctions for wealthy people (like Barrett-Jackson) where certain models really do fetch as much as owners paid for them, or more. It's still a gamble, but I think your odds of at least holding your value with a classic car are much better than with a watch.

I could be wrong of course; I know a lot more about cars than I do overpriced luxury watches, after all. But I suspect the watches are much more like diamonds: only "valuable" to the initial buyer (and mainly for sentimental reasons), and largely worthless to everyone else. (Yes, a resale market for used Rolexes and the like exists, but you're not going to get the same price for your 20-year-old Rolex as you paid for it.)
But it doesn't take much to go from 0 to a parser combinator library. I roll my own each year for advent of code. It starts at like 100 lines of code (which practically writes itself - very hard to stray outside of what the types enforce) and I grow it a bit over the month when I find missing niceties.
That might very well be, but what are you gonna do? Forbid using Microsoft cloud services completely? As we say in Germany: that train has already left the station...
Bunny has been around for much longer than CloudFlare. All those third party video streaming websites (e.g. adult content) all rely on CDNs like these. Bandwidth is very cheap. CloudFlare is able to command their prices mostly because of the security features and the fact that they are a pull based CDN. Most of the internet outside of SaaS rely on traditional CDNs like Bunny for low cost distribution.
I was going to say the same thing about SAT, or any NP-hard problem.

The first example doesn't seem to be good either however. I don't think that proving a mathematical conjecture which has resisted proof for decades (or longer) is something that we would typically expect a computer program to be able to do. Whenever this happens, it is hailed as a major breakthrough.
I think you are conflating nationalism and fascism.

Nationalism has a lot of gradations, and while it can be a subset of fascism it isn't inherently fascistic. Fukuyama said: "But it is not clear that nationalism represents an irreconcilable contradiction in the heart of liberalism. In the first place, nationalism is not one single phenomenon but several, ranging from mild cultural nostalgia to the highly organized and elaborately articulated doctrine of National Socialism."

And using the military against mobs of people that are ransacking cities is not under any construction 'fascism' - property rights are after all pretty important in the Western Anglo-Saxon tradition and using force to protect property rights is not 'fascism'.

Not sure what you mean by America being active militarily in Syria, either - are you referring to Trump ordering the bombing of ISIS targets? By that logic when Obama ordered the Navy Seals to kill bin Laden the US was engaged in a fascistic military adventure in Pakistan which... would probably make you the only person in the world to think that.

Trump is a lot of things. A fascist as that word is understood by historians is not one of them.

Only a court of law can determine what that means with certainty, as written anyways. They might even determine that it’s invalid! At which point they’ll just sever the agreement anyways, and until nullified or upheld it serves as a form of uncertainty gatekeeping.

I cannot possibly imagine what motivated them to put in a “no edgy apps” clause and then post it on a bleeding edge site like HN. A job’s a job, I suppose.
Perceptually lossless (talking head) video compression at 22kbit/s
I need to try ag.

I usually use rg, which is way faster than grep for searching many repositories at once.

But one of my tasks involves searching things in a single XML file of hundreds megabytes, or even several gigabytes, and for this, grep is way faster than rg apparently.

So under the right conditions, grep is actually quite fast and you may be missing out if you never try using it.
That's what they call a "win-win".

You can Auth on gitlab using github…
I'm not talking about the cases where you have any choice about what's going to happen or your safety margin. A person jumps from a place fully obstructed by a truck, 1cm in front of your car - it doesn't matter how slow you're going - you're going to hit them before you register what happened.
You seem to have trouble understanding the bigger picture, or you're really stupid enough to think that Trump is going to make things better for these people. Let me fix this for you:

"you are an incel because of your actions" > they are and get offended and vote trump > Trump wins > things for them go from bad to much worse

So when things get even worse for them under Trump, they have no one to blame but themselves, and certainly not random people on the internet that they feel offended by.
Redox's IPC is a fair bit weaker of a design than that of QNX or my seL4-derived kernel. It works sort of like that of QNX in that it has direct copying of messages between address spaces and RPC-like semantics with direct context switch from sender to receiver and back, but it is more limited and implemented in a slower way. Also, there seems to be no consideration for real-time performance at all.

Outside the core IPC model, the namespace model is also more limited than that of QNX; QNX allows multiple servers of a given type mounted anywhere within a namespace, whereas Redox's scheme-based namespace model only allows a single server of a given type per namespace, mounted on a fixed top-level prefix.
> Let’s face it, we’re largely relying on American backing in NATO while U.S. politics swings wildly.

[...]

> Ukraine—why is it Europe that bears the brunt of a conflict that's only driving divisions deeper? It's time to rethink what we’re gaining from this endless support for Zelensky. We need to be brokers of peace, not perpetuators of someone else's war. We’re literally financing a conflict that bleeds Europe dry without serving a single European interest.

I don't think this author expresses an understanding of what NATO is or why it exists. That, or this is a bad-faith peacenik argument made in the hopes that the readers are too dumb to understand why capitulation doesn't work against nuclear blackmail. I recommend If You Give A Mouse A Cookie as political research if you're still confused.

Weird article.

In any case, GitLab still has some advantages over GitHub. DX, UI and UX of GitLab CI is better than GitHub Actions. And one massive one - you can actually have a complex organisational structure without weird ramifications. In GitHub you have orgs and projects; in GitLab you have orgs, namespaces (which can be nested!!) and projects, and you can move projects around with automatic redirects. That means that you can actually group projects together, have them share CI configs, secrets, etc. In GitHub if you want to separate or group stuff, you have to create extra orgs, which results in extra SSO and token configurations.

Yeah, GitLab Community self-hosted is pretty popular in France and more widely in Europe. That's because it's good and does its job, and it's actually quite easy to maintain, and it's entirely in your own control (how often are GitHub down? Did they train their LLM on your code? Are you beholden to US foreign policy and sanctions?). Having been responsible for running GitLab for a small to medium sized org with very heavy usage for a few years, I'm extremely convinced we got better ROI and uptime than paying GitHub.

French engineers might go a bit too far on the DIY with free software route, but on the other end American engineers go way too far with "let's just buy another SaaS for this small thing" IMO.

“If it doesn’t damage the car, it’s not safe bike infrastructure.” someone said, and they’re right.
Yes it's a temporary workaround which fixes the problem. It deserves further works but thanks to the workaround, the problem isn't there anymore. Your point?
Your Argument is: if more good people had guns this wouldn't have happened?

This is such an American take.

> The politicians, of course, are protected by the armed Parliamentary Protective Service. They just don't believe you deserve similar protection.

What are you talking about. A gun is not at all even close to anything regarding trained professional lifeguards. Wtf?

You Imagine you alone with a AR-15 vs 5 terrorists with AK's and you win, right?

Your logic is very flawed. I bet you I know how the robbers got the guns. From their fucking neighbors selling them at Walmart, legally.

More accidents and bad things happen with guns, by a ton, than your imaginary hero self-defense stories.
That is a distinction without a difference. It's not a hoax to acknowledge that a man credibly accused and judicially 'adjudicated' of raping multiple women is a rapist.

"I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping.

She wanted to get some furniture. I said, “I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture.” I took her out furniture —

I moved on her like a bitch. But I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look...

I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything...

Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything."

GraalVM is very different league. It actually compiles Java application into native code, which takes enormous amount of RAM and processing time. Also it requires adapting application, because it's not a compliant JVM. What I mean is just packaging JVM and related jars into a single runnable artifact which is much simpler task.

Ask HN :Launched a simple web game site, got 0 users - any advice on growing it?
Hey HN,

I've recently launched a small web game site, and I'm looking for advice on how to grow it.

The backstory: I heard that building a game site could generate some revenue, and since I'm a fan of web games, I thought I'd give it a try. I spent a decent amount of time learning how to set up the site, find game resources, and optimize the pages. It was quite a rewarding experience seeing the site come to life.

However, after launching, I ran into a pretty significant issue: zero traffic. Not a single user. I'm feeling a bit stuck, but I know I have a lot to learn, especially as a beginner.

So, I'm here to ask for help: how can I attract users to a small game site like mine? Should I focus on SEO, social media promotion, or something else entirely? Are there better ways to validate that the games I provide are what users want?

I'd love to hear any experiences, tips, or advice that could help me get my first few users and start building momentum. Any feedback on the site itself is also more than welcome.

Thanks a lot for your time and any guidance you can offer!
Trump is literally one of these morons and millions voted for him. How would you classify them based on this fact, if not ignorant?
Good summary. To add to what you've said, Sudafed (as an example brand name) opens your eustachian tubes which are passages from your inner ear to your throat. If you think you might be getting an ear infection, Sudafed increases draining and potentially helps prevent a worse infection. As mentioned, it helps air equalize to the atmosphere via these tubes. If you make a yawning motion now and hear your ears crackle, that's the air moving through your eustachian tubes. You'll notice that crackling decrease when an ear infection may be imminent. I tried the useless alternative and discovered on my own that it was, indeed, useless. And it was quite expensive, with great marketing on the box.

So at least here in Germany, we pretty much all use nasal spray with xylometazoline, and it's very effective as it also binds to adrenergic receptors. It does not seem to be available in the US, and at least from a cursory search I cannot find out why...?

EDIT: After looking a bit more, the simple answer seems to be that it's not FDA approved for nasal congestion, and since there's not much money to be made, there's simply no incentive to go through the costly approval process..
Is there some circular logic in your reasoning? What is the difference between the computer program solving the conjecture, and “us” doing it?
Cue:

- the entry of trolls everywhere demanding that they can keep the médecine they've been using for ages

- the new administration's agreeing with "popular demand" and disagreeing with the FDA, because that's their thing

- and the companies selling the drug be like "uh, ok, fine".

At least it will be an interesting distraction from trying to fix the opioids epidemic ?
While true as long as they're in compliance with the law, wouldn't they want to sell all the Sudafed they can? They can deny service to anyone for pretty much any reason. No shirt, no shoes, no Sudafed or anything else. So yeah, but in reality it isn't aligned with their interests and if they don't want to serve you they can always find a different justification.
Not only what you say is objectively truth, it's motivating! Just start moving your ass!

Would only change "This will put you way ahead of the average American in terms of fitness, it's not until a higher level that things really start to get technical." striking out "American", just because it works everywhere.

Good question – here are a few reasons:

- It chooses files to read automatically on each message — unlike Cursor’s composer feature. It also reads a lot more than Cursor's @codebase command.
- It takes 0 clicks — Codebuff just edits your files directly (you can always peek at the git diffs to see what it’s doing).
- It has full access to your existing tools, scripts, and packages — Codebuff can install packages, run terminal commands and tests, etc.
- It is portable to any development environment

We use OpenAI and Anthropic, so unfortunately we have to abide by their policies. But we only grab snippets of your code at any given point, so your codebase isn't seen by any entity in its entirety. We're also considering open-sourcing, so that might be a stronger privacy guarantee.

I should note that my cofounder James uses both and gets plenty of value by combining them. Myself, I'm more of a plain VSCode guy (Zed-curious, I'll admit). But because Codebuff lives in your terminal, it fits in anywhere you need.
