oDot··on Rust support in the Linux kernel
Is Rust truly the first good candidate for Linux's second language? Why didn't older languages get this far?

Thank god for his multiple last spells
oDot··on TSMC “Apple-first” 3nm policy leads to AMD and Qualcomm mutiny
Does anyone know if Samsung's 3nm and TSMC's 3nm are the same? I recall different fabs measure differently.
oDot··on The Weirdness of Government Variation in Covid-19 Responses
His point is that people should be doing their own risk management. If you want to go on the road even though there are other cars around you, that's your choice to make.

oDot··on Intermittent fasting prompts anti-inflammatory response
I experienced the same when starting IF. With 23:1 I did get hungry a few hours after the meal, but the main issue wasn't that, it was not getting enough nutrients in that single meal.

I suspect that if I combine 23:1 with carnivore it'll be much easier to do.

oDot··on Intermittent fasting prompts anti-inflammatory response
Improved skin, clearer mind, less fatigue. I was doing 14:10 after years of irregular eating, then settled on 16:8 which also improved the above.

I tried 23:1 for a week but I could not eat enough in that one hour.

oDot··on Intermittent fasting prompts anti-inflammatory response
Since mid-2017. I agree it is not enough to gain muscle, but it also doesn't seem to hinder that for me.
oDot··on Intermittent fasting prompts anti-inflammatory response
For a personal anecdote, IF was the most impactful change I did nutrition wise, and I am currently midway testing diets from carnivore to vegan.

oDot··on Lists, more lists, and the power of checkboxes (2019)
Thanks for checking it out. I'm not quite done yet, but I believe that if you come back next week it should be stable enough.
oDot··on Lists, more lists, and the power of checkboxes (2019)
Worry not! I'm almost done with Nestful:

Need to squash some bugs, add labels, add state ("checkboxes"), a sync indicator and then I think it'll be good for early adopters.

Yes, very unfortunate.

This is the prevent the flow of negativity HN is sometimes known for, similar to the comment you yourself posted.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but in some areas I believe it is much better to invest the money in a sustainable business selling a product rather than giving that product away. That preserves profit and loss indicators and allows decision makers to judge the value their end users are receiving.

Education can be an example of that. Making a really cheap, high quality school is much better than funding tuition in existing schools. A school that manages to retain costumers indicates that they value the school so much there's nowhere better to spend the money. However if the school is "free" they might as well just go for it even if they don't get much out of it.

oDot··on Anthropologists and the business of sense-making at work
I wrote a booklet[0] about being thrown into remote work, and as I gathered, really the only objections are the likes of this article, something along the lines of "We had this good thing in the office and now we don't have it therefore we need the office".

They all fail to use the important lesson Henry Hazlitt thought us:

> The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups.

Looking at the direct effects of being in or out of the office is very naive. They go further than that.

oDot··on Ask HN: Has anyone seen smart TVs connect to unsecured WiFi without permission?
I get it -- beyond a certain point this sort of thing becomes fraud, which is already illegal.

Regarding the job example -- the employer is also a human being, and if they want to get that TV they may. If you disapprove of that, you don't have to work there. Either way, best if you keep your private conversations out of the office.

oDot··on Ask HN: Has anyone seen smart TVs connect to unsecured WiFi without permission?
That sounds like borderline fraud, which does not require any additional regulation
oDot··on Ask HN: Has anyone seen smart TVs connect to unsecured WiFi without permission?
You are not obligated to buy anything you disapprove of
oDot··on Ask HN: Has anyone seen smart TVs connect to unsecured WiFi without permission?
> Without strong regulation of privacy and consent, this will be a persistent and dangerous issue.

It won't be a dangerous issue because no one can force a TV inside your house/office.

Meanwhile leave the rest of us the option to make this trade-off

A fun fact related to this is that in Israel, the term "liberalism" avoided the hijack, is used in the freedom sense, and has the same meaning as "Classical liberalism" has in the USA.
