That site would do well to show an image of an actual physical thing you can make with it instead of the same images over and over of a cartoonish dog/wolf head.

I've been with Watsi for almost 12 years now, most of that as a Universal Fund member. Like others, I love periodically checking the "My Impact" page, as it really humanizes my monthly donation.

You've funded healthcare for 162 patients in 14 countries.

You joined Watsi on February 26th, 2014. Eleven years ago, you became a member of our Universal Fund, supporting life-changing treatments for a new Watsi patient every month. Your most recent donation traveled 8,500 miles to support Leah, a poultry farmer from Kenya, to fund abdominal surgery.

I did not read the study so I don't know if you're referencing a specific claim in it, but I do not understand your comment. What does being immoral have to do with TFA?

If you're looking for the link to the JSON bits it seems to be: https://jsonbinpack.sourcemeta.com/

Is it fair to say that you are in favor of Heroku, fly.io, ECS, etc?

It's in the changelog summary:

Add support for OpenSSL, LibreSSL and mbed TLS for HTTPS, which is now enabled by default.

But people don't often turn every opportunity they have into an a large autobiography and memoir of their life.

It's not a mistake to value your time to be worth more than "listening to Stephen Wolfram"

I think all the ad hominem you see in here are from people who waste too many precious hours of their life listening to him. I know I am: I spent weeks as a young teen over NKS when it came out. Wasn't as revelatory as he kept insisting it was. Turned me off of cellular automata.

I respect the work that he's done and the contributions he's given to humanity but for once I would like to see something by Stephen Wolfram that didn't involve at least 50% of the content being a form of self-aggrandizement.

I find that everything I try to consume from him contains his autobiography interspersed in the giant wall of text. This video is exquisitely cringeworthy.

You're damn straight I do!

I was very saddened to hear that his father passed away not that long ago.

That has got to be very hard for a 13 year old.

The article and the comments here don't make it clear why running it in production shouldn't be done. If slow_query is already running in production, why would running EXPLAIN ANALYZE slow_query be bad?

Is the overhead of running EXPLAIN ANALYZE so much worse than running slow_query itself?

This is the Elon Musk BTC scam that's all over YouTube now and it's almost on the homepage of HN :facepalm:

LinusTechTips had their account hijacked and replaced by this recently: https://youtu.be/yGXaAWbzl5A?t=63

I recently bought EcoSmart bulbs from Home Depot (they're a HD brand) that have a color temperature selector on the side (2700k to 5000k). But it also has an option called DuoBright, which will change the temperature in response to the standard cheap Lutron Diva dimmer I have.

It works *perfectly*! I can max the dimmer and it's bright white daylight, or I can dim it down to a very dim 2000k. There's no buzzing, no weird high-temp/low-light weirdness. It works magically. And it's the cheap option!

I replaced all BR30 & BR40 bulbs with it. I wish it came in more shapes! I'd replace every lightbulb in the house with them. I paid $5-$13 per bulb.

No one seems to know about them, not even the guy at Home Depot who worked in the aisle. He was surprised how much I raved about them.

That is quite literally what the article talks about.

For my resin printer setup I bought a mylar-covered grow tent from Vivosun which has all the hookups necessary for an inline fan & carbon filter. I zip it up 95% of the way so it's negative pressure and pulling the fumes through the filter.

I can't smell anything after the filter—not even the 99% pure IPA which smells much worse than Siraya Tech Fast resin—so I don't bother venting outside when it's cold out; it vents into the unfinished basement side room.

I wear a respirator, thick rubber gloves, treat every surface as "hot," and UV cure all my paper towels and anything that resin touched.

My Ultimaker sits on the desk in my office and I mostly print on it at night. It doesn't get much use.

That someone found it valuable to write an article for software engineers describing common sense that people usually figure out in their teenage years is interesting, as it is perpetuating the association of software engineering with autism.

Unless I'm missing something the article doesn't mention software engineering at all. Sure it's shared here on HN, but I don't see anything in the article that assumes the audience is a specific kind of technical reader.

As you mention "common sense that people usually figure out in their teenage years" I suggest you re-read the first few paragraphs where they specifically talk about incoming High School students lacking basic social skills.

I've used Pixelblaze for five different projects now and I'm extremely happy with it. My projects are all 3D-mapped LED sculptures and Pixelblaze is extremely easy to work with compared to some other controllers which only handle the data for you but leave the signal/pattern generation up to you to solve.

If you're going down the rabbit hole of addressable LEDs, a great resource is this community-maintained spreadsheet that has a lot of addressable LED info on it called "Addressable LED Controllers, Drivers, and Related Products & Projects"

I find it interesting that people talk in absolutes ("fusion will never be economical!") when the devices they're using were "impossible" only a few decades ago.

Also the difference between a 4:00:00 marathon and a 3:59:59 is less than a 0.007% improvement but it's a huge victory nonetheless. Once someone proves an arbitrary numerical barrier can be overcome humans tend to make a lot of progress shortly thereafter.

Seems like the Diataxis author came up with the framework while working at Divio: https://github.com/evildmp/diataxis-documentation-framework/...

I long for the days when the internet was filled with sites like these. Every hour spent tying up our only home phone line on my 14.4 was an hour well spent.

I recently discovered knapsackpro.com and I'm so glad to pay for it. CircleCI build times are essentially linear with parallelism now. Builds finish faster so we pay for fewer resources. 15 minute build is now 3m45s at the same cost.

If you have that many stripped wires to tin, you can use a tub of flux and a solder pot. Dip the wires into the flux, then quickly dip it into the solder pot. Perfectly tinned end with no plastic melting. Really hard to mess up vs a soldering iron, a wire, and solder wire.

You can even dip multiple wires into the flux and solder bath at the same time, as well as use the flux tub again before you solder the tinned wire to the contact.

I'm glad to see this as an outline, which is how I structure most of my project work. It can be hard for others to follow, but it's very concise and scannable (just read the first indentation level for the top-level idea).

To paraphrase Adam Savage from his excellent book, Every Tool's a Hammer, lists [of lists] are very powerful way to tame the inherit complexity of any project worth doing.

As joshstrange mentions above, iCloud password prompts don't support password managers, which is the main reason why I have a memorable one.

Password managers are more useful to me than a spreadsheet in iCloud. I don't see why having a memorable iCloud password implies I should get rid of a password manager.

Do you have a spreadsheet of passwords in a cloud account somewhere?

This recently happened to me after my laptop and phone were stolen on vacation. Everything is in 1Password. I of course didn't have the recovery paper with me. I recently changed my iCloud password to be more secure, and luckily I remembered it. But I needed 2FA to log in still.

I had to go to an AT&T store, port my phone number to a different iPhone, restore from an iCloud backup using the SMS 2FA, and then I could finally log into 1Password for my passwords and MFA.

If I didn't have a memorable iCloud password this would have been impossible without the 1Password recovery paper.

Devices are often lost/stolen on vacation where the myriad layers of protection are extremely hard — if not impossible — to penetrate.
