It's a fun party trick, counting to 2^10-1 (1023) using your fingers! Kids counting 1-10 use, effectively, "unary notation". One could count even higher if willing to put each finger into an intermediate state, as base-3 or

IMHO, anything to do with Body Mass Index (BMI) is fake science. Ironically, this writeup is also from nih.gov: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2930234/

I've used Vultr for several years (hobby projects) with no issues. My favorite feature is having a BGP session from my VM, which is unusual among cloud providers. I have an AS and am able to advertise my own IPs from multiple Vultr i

In production it can be better to bind-mount the host's CA store, instead of relying on each container to have a correct and current CA database. This is especially needed if an enterprise CA is in use. In general I think the unidirec

BMI is accepted as a poor indicator of health or fitness. It's common for objectively healthy people, such as muscular athletes, to have a high BMI. https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10626

Crazy idea: are there enough space nerds who would pay for a small momento piece of ISS that it might be worthwhile to disassemble it in space and bring parts back to Earth?

Youtube's view counter for Gagnam Style had a similar issue a few years ago. That time, it was a funny problem to have; with stock price reporting, not so much. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014&

Stories about "Linux as the underdog" have confused me for several years. The truth is, Linux has won, and it's OK to recognize that. The majority of phones sold are "Linux phones" -- it's the kernel for Andro

tldr, the author sent a couple emails to recoup $88 from a mismanaged affiliate program. Not exactly "hacker news" front-page material.

Well, I expect this is the beginning of the end for macOS. iOS and macOS have been converging for a long time. First Photoshop runs on iOS, then Apple makes larger and larger "i" devices until there's one with a 27" sc

In their last example, I'd argue "MECHANICALLY SEPARATED CHICKEN" should be in the list with BEEF and WHEY. :)

Why send each URL to a server to be checked, instead of doing a periodic download of the (very small) list of HN links and comment counts, to be checked offline like an ad blocker? It's probably 5kb compressed.

Well, people had to be careful before the automobile too, you know. People could by killed by horses or wagons. The introduction of the automobile didn't make it suddenly unsafe to be in the street.

I started taking Adderall recently and so far, I've had the inverse experience socially. It's made it much easier for me to meaningfully engage with people. By gaining control over my focus, I can now overlook "the little t

It's common for hardware security tokens like this to limit themselves to self-generated private keys. The intent is the device needs to provide a guarantee that the private key is not otherwise accessible, whereas it would be if the

In fairness, Comcast didn't "hint" at any such thing -- this is based on Ars's conjecture based in what Comcast stopped saying.

A couple times I have configured multiple "remotes" for my local git repo and pushed to both, e.g. GitHub + Google Cloud Source Repository, or even just a bare repo on a VPS.

I absolutely love Howistart, but some of their tutorials are getting a little dated. This one uses Go 1.3, whereas 1.8 is now GA, and there has been a lot of progress around vendorizing dependencies.

I went to one of these in an airport. They gave a first-rate demo. Seems like a good product, but they asked me what I thought and I told them, honestly, it's a lot like Google Cardboard.

Are you an employee (W-2) or contractor (1099)? In the latter case there is an expectation that you have multiple "clients". In either case, if this happened to me I would talk (as in, in your next 1:1 meeting or phone call), no
