For quite a long time, I ate only Huel at home. At $2.21 per serving (a bit cheaper in the UK - £1.51, where I am from), and 5 servings per day, it's $11.05 per day. 4.5x what the author did, but I think it's worth it.

Whilst it costs a bit more, you save so much time and possibly money. It allows you to not have any dishes -> no dishwasher needed -> no cupboard space needed -> no kitchen needed -> no fridge needed -> cheaper rent. You don't need to go grocery shopping (no car needed), food never gets wasted, you take out significantly less trash. There's 0 "mental load", you never have to think/plan about how you're going to eat/cook/whatever.

If you're willing to adopt a bit of an "ignorance is bliss" attitude, you can happily pretend that you're eating a perfectly balanced diet ;).

I have no affiliation with Huel, just an extremely happy customer. Now that I'm traveling around the world, it's pretty much the only thing I miss from my old life. If I could get it shipped anywhere in the world for a reasonable price, I'd probably still be eating it right now.
I created an account for this thread and answered right away. If it's not because of that, then I suspect it's because of too much subjectivity / bias / self-promotion. I didn't exactly talk about my own works but my interpretation of Girard's works though, but I can understand if speaking as the owner of the repo is problematic.
Wasn't aware of link blogs. I did some googling, and practically, how is this different from a microblog? It feels like the intent and practicality are both pretty similar.

The only real difference I can identify is that a microblog post doesn't always have a link.

I like it though. I come to HN as it's basically just an aggregated linkblog from smart people.
Electric is the future and China seems to be bringing it rapidly closer. Western countries are going to be left behind. I was of the opinion as with the population boom of Africa and Asia as they improve their populations carbon production will shoot up rapidly. It is ironic that China the largest polluter is looking as most likely to bring about the innovations the world needs without increasing carbon production to much. China is doing it to corner the market for future technology more than to stop carbon production but in the end the result will likely be the same

Yes, exactly this! We are actually spending soo much time deriving, thinking, formulating & refining OKRs from roadmap items that we could just declare as simple "Goals". We could get so much shit done during that time.

Most of the time as the quarter goes on, we then scrap those OKRs anyway because we didn't manage to do them or they were too specific and requirements changed.

I always had the feeling that what we are doing is bullshit. So great to finally hear it from someone else.

I wonder how many engineering companies actually use OKRs though.
> there could be empty regions of space in which billions of years more have elapsed than in e.g. a galaxy.

A problem with that idea would be that the ages of galaxies in low-density regions (including voids) tend to be younger than galaxies in denser regions, suggesting that galaxy evolution proceeds more slowly in voids.

Balance is the key, but if I only had a debugger, and not the printf option, I'd be working more slowly and swearing a bit more.

I work in a natural science, and use computing for numerical simulations and data analyses. For coding problems, a debugger is pretty handy. But for finding errors in the underlying mathematics, I tend to rely on a printf -> grep -> analysis chain. This might make files of several hundred Mb in size. The last part is generally done in R, because that lets me apply graphical and statistical methods to discover problematic conditions. Often these conditions do not crop up for quite a long time, and my task will be to find out just what I did wrong, with something like a problematic formulation of boundary condition that created an anomalous signal near an edge of a domain, but only once a signal had propagated from a forcing zone into that region of state space.
I've had (presumably the fraud department of) AmEx ring me and ask for personal verification details over the phone before they'll even speak to me about ANY details (even just if this is ringing about fraud etc, or how urgent the phone call is), on more than one occasion.
Even though I was pretty confident it was a legitimate call (typically an email notification arrives from them about some odd activity at the same time, or it's whilst I'm making a payment), I decline because surely this is exactly the same as what scammers would do?
I don't want to be mean, but I kinda doubt this. The regulations greatly vary by country, are complex beasts most of the time and require a lot of information from other system (POS, ERP, ...). Do you have any documentation that outlines what you support?

It's exceptionally hard to find good executives due to nepotism and other problems with hiring them that result in the wrong people in charge of the wrong thing more frequently than not, though.

I think it's going to blow up given the number of broken libraries and products out there. Management does not care until things really break. In 3-4 years, there will be a serious shortage of software developers and maintenance of the stack will be as expensive as ever.

In my experience managemant roles set the OKRs in a closed circle, without feedback from technical employees and then things like reliable infrastructure are underestimated or forgotten. Once OKRs are set, they are set in stone, because management roles are too busy to come together again and additionally include engineering roles in the decision making process. Instead just put more pressure on engineering.

This kind of thing easily destroys great team dynamic and makes people change from getting work done to meeting target metrics, even if they only game them. This can lead to good and essential people quitting and the downfall of the company.
I do parse it that way. My position is that it's not the proper form for the function.

I recently transferred almost 100 website credentials off of paper and into Bitwarden for my elderly parents, one of whom is developing dementia. During the work, I noticed that several websites (e.g., Amazon) and Bitwarden itself were very aggressively trying to lock me in to passkeys. I rejected every attempt except somehow Amazon still enrolled my dad's account.

There is no way that older people will ever understand passkeys. Corporations should immediately stop this foolish push to passkeys where often absolutely no explanation is made to the user of what they are or why anyone should care. My parents are sticking with unique 20-character passwords per site.

Don't even get me started on trying to explain mobile app 2FA to them...
haha that sounds way harder than what im doing atm :D

thanks for the laugh!

I would also be looking at the energy cost of cooking dried beans everyone recommends because they are cheap. A decent refrigerator is incredibly efficient thanks to operating on a heat pump, but cooking is certainly not energy efficient, and many cheap dried beans require hours to properly cook. I wouldn't be surprised if the cooking of cheap beans ended up costing more than the beans themself.

Ask HN: How do you remotely monitor cognitive performance in the eldery?
I have one surviving parent who appears mostly fine but their personality makes informal observation during conversations difficult. Obviously extreme cognitive decline would be apaprent but I am looking for early warning signs. I am very far away and rarely get to visit in person.

I recently searched for "tools" for monitoring this on an ongoing basis but was surprised how grifty and broken the bulk of it was. I think these tests are informally called:

* Adaptive cognitive tests
* Repeatable neuropsychological tests
* Cognitive monitoring tools

Ideally one could have a friend of the parent help with the test, but if that is not possible it becomes essential that there is no complicated sign-up, click here, click that complexity that will trigger the elderly person into resisting and giving up.

Thanks for any advice.
I have some doubts about the efficacy of spectrum allocated per device class/manufacturer. This in itself is not a congestion management mechanism, although some vendors probably treat it as such. The majority of applications probably benefits from more available spectrum and cheaper devices based on COTS components.

Spectrum dedicated to individual users in specific areas is a different matter. I expect that there will always be use cases for this, for backhaul, backup links etc.
Keep in mind this is a dangerous route to go down long term.

Optimising for economic cost with the only requirement being "fill your belly" and "be palatable enough", tends to result in poor nutrition. This is roughly how the industry optimises food - minimise economic cost, maximise yield, and maximise sales (make everything artificially hyper palatable), with terrible results.

In the long term this is partly covered by the economic cost on a personal basis because of the cost in health care and loss of ability to produce income due to deteriorating health. But this is displaced in time, and you do not want to do this experiment on yourself, it's not reversible.

Calories are not equal, as a general rule, buying cheap food often means cheaping out on nutritional value. If you want to frame it in terms of money, buying good quality food now is an investment in your future.
I probably chose a nice place, because they lighted up a huge fire while the monks were chanting around it, also there were lots of food stalls and people lining up to the temple.

I also used to go see fireworks in Taiwan but it is usually like this -> wait for fireworks -> 10 minutes fireworks —> have some fun (hopefully) -> get stuck in traffic/public transportation.

My home country is more lively but it ends up being similar, except people get way drunker.

The US dollar notes are 7 different shades of nothing much, with a man's face in the middle, a near-identical fancy border, and a circular stamp on each side in black and dark green. The numbers are in a decorative font, and merged into the border.

On the reverse, there's a building and a similar decorative border.

I practice a miniature version of this by having protein bars for breakfast everyday. It saves so much time over cooking anything in the most time-valuable moments of the day.
Regular video calls with your parent doing casual activities like crosswords can help spot early issues like repeated stories or word-finding trouble. Setting up autopay and monitoring their spending (with permission) helps track financial management. Building connections with neighbors gives you local eyes, while smart home devices can track daily routines. Watch for changes in how they handle tasks, personal care, or social activities. Keep everything feeling natural rather than like a test.
Biggest problem is that it has an absolutely disgusting texture, for me at least.
I would prefer to create a custom view on every website I use daily, including for curses/cli interfaces and including interaction. Or, I would just like every website (and saas) to look and work like HN. I simply don't like what people call UX where I search 4 hours for a vital function which someone is 'conveniently hidden' under 400 submenus of stuff I will never use (but makes more money for them).
Fairly recently I attempted to get an (FPGA-emulated) Amiga, a G4 Power Macintosh running System 9.2, and a Win2000sp4 Virtual Machine online (just for very select downloads of trusted applications, not for actual browsing). It came as a huge surprise to find that the Win2K VM was the biggest problem of the three.
Debugging Python with VS Code
In the early 90s, I had a job door to door selling in America. This was a 3 month holiday job post-uni, part of the BUNAC scheme.

We were selling aerial photos of people's neighbourhoods/streets. (This was pre-Google Earth and pre-web).

I was a crap salesperson, but was luckily enough to bump into the best one, another student called Owen. I got chatting to him at one of the periodic parties the company threw and he had this knack for acting (maybe it was genuine?) like he was hanging on your every word, and how you were the most interesting person he'd ever spoken to. This is 30 years ago and I still remember it.
But this already exists for free - many time tracking apps out there have invoicing built in and a free plan for solo developers. Plus additional features.

> I can't believe the biggest companies apparently set prices due to vibes.

I mean, in general they _very much do not_. What you will see sometimes is setting a price and then building to the price (for instance Apple has, for a long time, tended to go for $999 for its cheapest laptop), but "one guy just makes up a price for a thing that has an inherent cost disconnected from that price" is not ordinarily a thing.
>A french door refrigerator ...

I'm guessing that American refrigerators are like American cars?
> A working-poor friend also used to buy steel-cut oats

That's funny reading oats as being described as a cheap breakfast here, while in the fitness/sports community, oats are "the GOAT" of breakfast, without a focus on cost.
Our national buy/sell platform (aquired by ebay twenty or so years ago) has a similar system now where they will handle the payments and exchange of currency on confirmation of reception of items etc, I believe it's very successful, but they had to do something because nobody was trusting the site anymore for trading anything valuable.
So you're writing a programming language
Not sure I entirely agree with :

"Here is the classical topology of home network." ... "And all the LAN hosts have one /64 IPv6 prefix."

Are people really deploying IPv6 like this? Rather than a /64 to a vlan?

(Personally, in the home, I'm just using DHCPv6-PD to delegate a different /64 to each VLAN).
Amazon is the American version of Temu, Aliexpress, etc nowadays; I wouldn't use it for anything but their own products (Kindle). For specialist items like the cello strings you mentioned, music shops are thankfully still a thing, both online/webshops as irl ones. I'd go there instead. Same with books.

> 1: I understand your concern in terms of google auth. I always refused to implement it because i did not want google to have information about my users, but every developer told me i was missing out on so many signups, so i tried it this time. Now it hurts me to see that a potential customer walked away.

I think the key here is having it optional. I am personally far more likely to sign up to something if there's google auth - I don't need another thing to track I can just easily assign it to my work or personal account.

The unintended consequence of this is well captured in Bainbridge's piece from 1983 'Ironies of Automation'

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/000510...

- The more tasks you automate the less practice people get in doing those tasks themselves and developing the experience in executing them.

- Yet, experience becomes more important as issues/exceptions occur (which they will)

- Ironically, when people are needed the most they are least prepared to step in because automation has taken over their day-to-day.

Net result might be a reduced supply of 'experience' but demand remains strong thus increasing the price of it.
So survival chance of hitting a concrete wall and open field would be same?

I do regular calls. Their personality is such that they generally do not respond with typical redundancy checking responses paraphrasing what you just said. They have always done this. Financially they do nothing online, largely still visit bank in person. They have lots of social connections, but the feeling is that the elderly people in that community largely all do that same kind of thing where they just talk "at" each other and never perform the usual social paraphrasing behavoiur that is an informal test of cognitive decline.

Magic Links are more convenience than security.

I only use them on sites or services I do not take seriously or would never rely on for anything.

Not wanting a password doesn't absolve the software of securing user data, or users being informed of them effecting relaxing the need for security around their data.

For so many reasons that become apparent until years later, creating accounts with email+password is the best, on your own domain that can be moved between hosts, especially since there is little recourse with any identity providers.
