Very interesting, I like its design better. Could you comment on whether bupstash supports ACLs (POSIX, xattr, etc.)? According to issue #25 it does, but I couldn't find documentation on how to exclude it when restoring, viewing it, et

It's the spike protein that would mutate so as not to be attached by antibodies, but it would still attach to cell receptors (probably different ones). Yes, new mRNA vaccines could be produced and distributed, thereby generating even m

My chosen solution to all this is Dendron. It's not perfect yet, but I found it better than the rest.

Some argue that precisely that mechanism generates evolutionary pressure for the virus to mutate so as to avoid being attached to by the antibodies but still being able to enter the cell (maybe through a different receptor, and there exist

He may have said that about Don Quijote, but it may well have been just another humorous comment by him. He was known for his dry humor and deadpan delivery. He was extremely learned, no doubt about it, but the reader has to keep in mind th

"Like the workplace itself, for most of us the stock market is simply another arena of capital extraction". So, to the author, workplace is an arena of capital extraction. Although the comparison is uncalled for, I'm glad of

Logseq forces to use too many bullets for my linking. I prefer Dendron, although it takes a bit of an effort at first.

I swear by my Herman Miller Embody chair. I used to have severe lower back pain, and this chair has helped me eliminate the pain by keeping a healthy posture. It's the only chair I found that locks my sitting position, keeping my hips

What I like about HN is that comments are frequently even better than the linked content. This is a fine example.

What I'd like to know is if lucid dreaming attains the same quality of rest as normal dreaming. I doubt long-term effects of lucid dreaming have been studied.

I suppose Halley asked him about something anybody in Taiwan would know about the sky there, but not common knowledge for people in France.

Check out, for example, the case of Martin Armstrong, held for 7 years in contempt of court for not producing items he said he didn't have. Eventually he had to enter a plea agreement and serve an additional 5-year term.

It is a very good incentive for small kids as long as they are interested in watching TV and in the particular content shown. But not all kids like to stay quiet watching TV, some really need physical exertion and can't sit down.

Of course I referred to the language learning process in toddlers. By the time they reach school it's a different process, and they learn a lot of other subjects too.

> language ability seems to largely be a function of exposure and there's only so much time to go around. There's an important shortcoming in that reasoning: it assumes that time is fully dedicated to learning whichever languag

Regarding that research, I can see that human interaction should more efficient but that doesn't imply that screen time should be ineffective. And my kid is a counterexample, because it did bootstrap her English. She had no other sourc

> screen time doesn't count Absolutely false. Screen time is an excellent way of exposing the child to a language and thus learning to distinguish the phonemes that make it up. It can be argued that screen time alone doesn't he

If LTS' sole point were to keep a stable baseline, then that point would only be for the benefit of some short-sighted developer whose only interest were to keep his to-do list brief. Even a slightly more forward-looking developer woul

> The whole point of an LTS release is that they will keep a stable baseline I think you're confusing an objective (LTS) with a tactic (keeping a stable baseline). Certainly the whole point of LTS is not to keep a stable baseline, b

I don't think yours is a serious answer, what I said already refutes your points. Ubuntu has already made me waste a week and I don't want to waste any more, particularly when you can't or won't listen to what I say and

By ancient I mean that it is 1.7 years old and by now Intel has published 4 later releases (20160607, 20160714, 20161104 and 20170511). I think it's a fair and tame adjective considering this is processor microcode we're talking a

Indeed, the latest Intel microcode published for Ubuntu 16.04 is the ancient 20151106 [1]. Later Ubuntu releases do have more recent microcode packages [2]. I cannot understand why they left out 16.04 there. So much for LTS, it seems. This
