Tushon··on Europe is investing heavily in trains
I've never seen this personally (living in DC area since 2014). At best, flights were on par and you still had to transport from airport to destination vs being likely in the city center (as noted elsewhere in this thread already) and deal with all the other airport time. Bus is definitely cheaper today though with highly variable experience along the way.
Tushon··on I automated my job over a year ago and haven't told anyone
How is that your conclusion? OP had a number of things that were improved in-scope of his role, specifically cited this was before offsite version control, and that his replacement somehow deleted things.
Tushon··on The human ear detects half a millisecond delay in sound
Since light travels a lot faster than sound, I imagine the visual cues of conductor and/or lead of your section and practice of staying on beat matter more than hearing someone across the symphony.
Tushon··on Librem Tunnel Is Leaving iOS
People being good at anything else (let's say, accounting) is not correlated with safe/smart computer use habits. If you can prevent a lot of turmoil by not letting them install arbitrary programs and still keep them happy and working well on their main role, why get rid of an otherwise good employee?
Tushon··on Why updating DNS is slow
/24 is a 256 host subnet, so you can have 1-254 (0 and 255 are special) in the last "octet" (each section of an IP address is denoted as an octet).

You can play with the numbers here [0] to see valid combos, like this: 192.1.254.19/24 (or use a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask)

Tushon··on Ask HN: Have you been laid off?
My company is interviewing and hiring still, depending on what you want to work on. HQ in Alexandria, VA and main other office in Lakewood, CO are most positions. Working remotely for now in all offices.

Tushon··on FastMRI initiative releases neuroimaging data set
From TFA: "The application must include the investigator’s institutional affiliation and the proposed uses of the data. NYU fastMRI data may be used for internal research or educational purposes only as described in the data use agreement and may not be redistributed in any way without prior permission."

Take 10s to read yourself instead of complaining about others not reading for you. It's at the top of the page currently, under a heading, "Apply for Access".

Tushon··on German government expands subsidies for electric cars
I think that there will be a shift in the provided capabilities of places like apartments in the near-ish future that will address this problem. More people will own electric cars, and either charge them at parking garages at work, and their homes/apartments will be retro-fitted. Probably won't be free, but the removed gas cost should well offset it on an individual level.
Tushon··on Airbnb Announces Intention to Become a Publicly-Traded Company During 2020
There are a non-trivial number of signs of a recession coming up this winter/2020. E.g. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/02/heres-a-list-of-recession-si...

Insurance companies may request it for verification of the identity of patient.
Tushon··on The Washington Post's bestseller lists have been wrong
That was dismissed recently, with a handy summary from the judge: The judge who oversaw the case, William O. Bertlesman, said in his dismissal, "The Court accepts Sandmann's statement that, when he was standing motionless in the confrontation with Phillips, his intent was to calm the situation and not to impede or block anyone. However, Phillips did not see it that way. He concluded that he was being 'blocked' and not allowed to 'retreat.' He passed these conclusions on to The Post. They may have been erroneous, but as discussed above, they are opinion protected by the First Amendment. And The Post is not liable for publishing these opinions."

Tushon··on Why Lie Detector Tests Can’t Be Trusted
As far as I've heard, it is more about lying than past use (unless that past is a month ago and was a real bender). Telling them the truth about something that happened 9 years ago isn't likely to get you booted.

Tushon··on DNS-over-HTTPS Policy Requirements for Resolvers
The OP talked about BYOB, which rarely includes "root access" (either via a root cert for decrypting traffic or admin level access to the machine)..
Tushon··on DNS-over-HTTPS Policy Requirements for Resolvers
There are plenty of ways to lockdown the ability to change DNS settings on your enterprise computers (you can also lockdown Firefox with the right deployment) and you can block port 53 traffic to outside your network, but you can't block DNS -> HTTPS w/o the interventions cited above.
Tushon··on Coding Intentionally in Bash Grains
FWIW, the logged in view of this is an alpha-sorted list, basically this view https://exercism.io/tracks

I would guess the design choice on the front page change on reloads to try to surface something potentially interesting to everyone, but I am not affiliated with them/have no additional insight. I can see how it would be frustrating.

They must have removed the link you are referencing, because I don't see it now. Clicking it from the front page works (probably because it is an anchor link).

Tushon··on Boeing 787 Suffers Rare Dual Engine Failure on Landing
re go down to 3: Use different words and see if you think it was reasonable

roughly 10x going down to 3x would also mean it would go up to 17x. That's a pretty wide range, so I don't think that order of magnitude is going to ever really be similar to 3x of something on the basis of what it means.

Tushon··on Marie Kondo's Advice Praised by Scientists: “Clutter Is Not a Good Thing”
It feels like you're arguing against something that isn't really what Kondo is offering, and she specifically discusses in reference to vacuum cleaners and screwdrivers (tools you don't need every day, but the frustration of not having is an "anti joy"). The joy concept isn't so rigid as delight in that moment, though it can be misconstrued that way.

What I think she would say about a workshop is that a well-organized (tidy) space, where everything has its place, so you know where to go when you need something, and where it goes when you have finished using it, is going to make you a happier person than having to dig through a toolbox/drawer/scrap pile to find the right tool or piece of wood.

In my experience, workshops are not devoid of joy, unless you work only on things you don't enjoy or find pride in, which seems unfortunate. My workshop memories are of my granddad making wood products of all sorts, my dad working on the car and various household projects, and my brother creating toys of various types (e.g. making our own cornhole set). The frustrations in the workshop were typically of not being able to find something I knew was there, but perhaps that isn't what you are after or expressing here.

Tushon··on Sobriety startups shaking up the 12-step model
I think that was the point of OP's comment, since you cut the rest of the statement

> You drink too much for a reason, not because you're a bad person.

the reason here being predisposition, environmental factors, genetics, and/or current illness

Tushon··on Liquid water 'lake' revealed on Mars
(not a scientist, but was skeptical of this statement given the general "incompressibility of water")

From looking at the phase change chart[0], you don't really get into the "interesting" stuff as far as pressure goes until pretty deep (something like 9-10km, from looking at some sample number of pressure at various depths [1]). Given that they indicated in the article that this is under 1.5km of ice, I don't think that's deep enough to have pressure significantly change it, but would be happy to learn that I'm not correct in my reading of this :)

Tushon··on Nearly 80% of Japan’s Airbnbs removed in response to new home-share law
If the ordinances don't account for the scenario, they could (and probably should) be updated to indicate that repeat offenses at a rental could lead to a fine to the owner, so that they have a compelling interest to ensure their neighbors have a good experience
Tushon··on Drone Maker Accused of Covering Up Bomb in Bag on Delta Flight
No, just on the basic numbers we have available, it would not be possible.

Tushon··on YouTube Is Removing Some Nootropics Channels
That's so far from true. A "video hosting services" search away is >10 results, of which I recognize at least 3 as professional level excluding Youtube (Vimeo, Ooyala, and Wistia). They may not have the entire ecosystem around it, but you need to be a little specific if you want anything approaching a valid claim for "monopoly on video" _hosting_. If you're talking about traffic, that's a separate story and is only a sign they are generally providing a usable product.
Tushon··on NirSoft Freeware (2008)
I would guess OP meant "integrated into" rather than acquired by, so that they are available by default rather than having to be installed separately.

Tushon··on Beyond CI/CD: GitLab's DevOps Vision (2017)
I don't have personal experience with this, but it seems to be that OP could have done this using their pipelines and maybe the graphs?

Tushon··on Beyond CI/CD: GitLab's DevOps Vision (2017)
Yes, that should be doable but not quite how you have it sketched out. See here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/pipelines.html
