Rumudiez··on Yellowish Nodules on a Man Consuming a Carnivore Diet
the rest of that sentence is

> …significantly higher than his baseline of [sic] level of 210 to 300

so they measured before and 8 months after the diet change to find a 4x increase in cholesterol

Rumudiez··on 1 in 5 online job postings are either fake or never filled, study finds
I think the point was that an orthopaedic surgeon can change hospitals and immediately get to work doing orthopaedic surgery. Sure, there might be some difference in how to clock in or who to report to, but they aren't suddenly working with a different type of human. Their job will remain constant despite changing environs, whereas moving between software companies could have you learning entirely different stacks that affect your process in fundamental ways.
Rumudiez··on Meta's memo to employees rolling back DEI programs
are you suggesting the company's staffing policy influences what users post? I don't agree the arrow points in that direction. or that there's an arrow between those topics at all

> [discovered in] gut bacteria from a researcher’s pet chinchilla

wow. we could be surrounded by so many extraordinary organisms and not even know it because there's so much variety just in our own backyards

Rumudiez··on Touchscreens are out, and tactile controls are back
I have a couple 15-20 year old base trim level cars and they use the exact same dashboards as their premium siblings. The unused button spots are still there they just haven’t been punched out yet
Rumudiez··on Decoupling design from engineering
visual communication design
Rumudiez··on Buy payphones and retire
You can be "retired" (don't _need_ to work) and still have a dayjob. My father-in-law does this and works 2 days a week so he doesn't get bored and has a little more spending money, all because he likes his profession but not because he has to work for a living anymore
Rumudiez··on PS5 Dashboards Flooded with Unwanted Ads–Sony Claims It Wasn't Intentional
Those publishers are for sure not producing "the greatest games of all time." You'd find those reqs even sooner on PC where you have to install their own store app, too
Rumudiez··on Big tech wants to make AI cost nothing
HN's title sanitizer might have automatically stripped it
Rumudiez··on Mimicking the cells that carry hemoglobin as a blood substitute
Look up colostomy bags. It’s not a lifestyle I think many people would choose on a whim
Rumudiez··on The Light Phone III
I really want to make the switch, but I still need a web browser for a minimum viable replacement. I don’t want to manage 2 phones just for the occasional restaurant that makes you order from a QR code or parking meter with a busted display
Rumudiez··on AI in software engineering at Google: Progress and the path ahead
UI is a terrible example to make your point. Tell me you don’t know frontend development…

Accessibility, cross browser+platform support, design systems, SEO, consistency and polish, you name it. You are most certainly not getting that from an LLM and most engineers don’t know how or don’t have a good eye for it to catch when the agent has gone astray or suggested a common mistake

Rumudiez··on Windows Recall sounds like a privacy nightmare
try the native screen recording feature on iOS if you have an iPhone or iPad. go log into some website or app. the recording will show the keyboard come up, keypress animations, and the characters being entered into the username/email field, but when you focus the password field all of that disappears. I was surprised when I first saw it, but it totally works
Rumudiez··on Wasp-193B, a giant planet with a density similar to that of cotton candy
the Katamari game series plays on this idea of creating themed planets by rolling up everyday objects on Earth

What’s stopping you from following the steps in the Dockerfile if you wanted to run it directly?
Rumudiez··on A useful front-end confetti animation library
tiled gifs, most likely
Rumudiez··on I now lack the juice to fuel the bluster to conceal that I am a simpleton
missed opportunity to put the definition in your bio
Rumudiez··on Hardest problem in computer science: centering things
The other CSS terms for this are block and inline, as in padding-inline-start and padding-block-end. Whether it’s the top/bottom/left/right edge is determined by flow direction. iOS/SwiftUI calls the inline directions leading and trailing, but I’m not sure how it works with vertical type
Rumudiez··on Devin: AI Software Engineer
I have a few handmade shirts that were all between $70-100. I buy the occasional oddity from Etsy and those things (the ones I buy) are all handmade and most of them are quite affordable – on par with shopping at Target for comparison. I’m 100% certain the artists are thankful they can be professional creators instead of becoming a wage worker or living off of some form of basic income
Rumudiez··on World Server Throwing Championship
Is there a version of this for serverless with GCP/AWS?
Rumudiez··on Show HN: Mountaineer – Webapps in Python and React
Does it support serverside rendering (SSR)?
Rumudiez··on Why are we templating YAML? (2019)
JSON5 has both of these
Rumudiez··on Fewer people are buying electric cars in the US
> more fun to drive

I’d argue the opposite, but it’s certainly subjective. Driving my sister’s Model 3 was leagues below my cheap little BRZ, and it’s still slower than my motorcycles if I want to accelerate fast. The suspension is crap. Body roll was astoundingly bad and the front end doesn’t want to push you through corners when trail braking. I was excited to drive it, but after 500 miles of backroads and open freeway I firmly believe a cheap sports car is a much better driving experience.

Rumudiez··on Analysis of the California Delete Act
Right, because an Equifax data breach has never negatively affected anyone
Rumudiez··on Analysis of the California Delete Act
Like whitepages.com? We’re talking about websites where you don’t have an account and they just republish info from public records and/or data brokers, not Facebook
Rumudiez··on Analysis of the California Delete Act
> Otherwise some troll will demand data be deleted for another person.

Would that be a bad thing, though? I don’t personally value what these sites do and can’t imagine a healthy person who does. It could be better for everyone to do away with them

Rumudiez··on US sues eBay for allowing sale of emissions defeat devices
A backfire is when the exhaust goes back out the air intake. An explosion in the exhaust system is called an afterfire, and is far more common. Most people just say backfire for both, unaware of the other term
Rumudiez··on California’s math misadventure is about to go national
> barring nepotism

this is a pretty big issue, though. even here on hn, many folks claim the best or only way to get a good job is by networking

Rumudiez··on Why Tailwind CSS Won
If I made a hammer but you need a special glove to use it proficiently, then I didn’t make a very good hammer
Rumudiez··on You're a cyclist who was just struck by a car driver. Why it was your fault
In the US you do not have the right to walk or bicycle on an interstate freeway. Not even in the shoulder or outside of the lane. Even if you drive a motor vehicle you are not allowed to use the freeway if you are unable to meet and maintain the speed limit; I have a 50cc scooter with a 30mph top speed and it is for sure not okay to get on that going down a 60mph road.

At closed circuit tracks you may find they segment drivers or vehicles based on average and top speeds. But why would that matter when even the slow guys are going >100mph down the straight, and everyone there has opted into driving in such an environment? Because speed variance is the real danger.

A car driving down a country road with a 50mph speed limit is going 2-5x faster than a cyclist depending on the slope. And there's no shoulder or bike lane in the countryside so they have to block the lane. Coming over a blind hill even below the speed limit may not leave the driver enough time and distance to come to a full stop. If the oncoming lane has traffic in it there's not even an escape path.

I grew up biking and I love it, but I also grew up and recognize the dangers and how being a cyclist on a fast road is imposing your risk onto others. It's sociopathic to believe a driver who hit a cyclist feels no remorse, but some people seem to prefer martyrdom over adjusting their preferences a little, like picking up mountain biking or going to the velodrome. I liked riding around on 2 wheels so much and I didn't want to compromise on where I could go so I pulled my pants up and learned how to ride motorcycles. Now I can go anywhere I want on something that keeps me outside of the cage and gives me more power and agility than any car.

edit: perspective of a bike fanatic (I have 7 bicycles/scooters/motorcycles in my garage) living in the self-proclaimed "Bicycling Capital of the Northwest," where there's an astonishing 2 paved bike paths that are so swarmed with pedestrians as to be unrideable
