You can't outrun a bad diet

news.ycombinator.com Maria Godoy 2026-01-04 04:42:03

You can't outrun a bad diet. Food — not lack of exercise — fuels obesity, study finds toggle caption PCH-Vector/iStockphoto via Getty Images Back in the 1800s, obesity was almost nonexistent in the United States. Over the last century, it's become common here and in other industrialized nations, though it remains rare among people who live more traditional lifestyles, such as the Hadza hunter-gatherers of Tanzania. So what's changed? One common explanation is that as societies have developed,

I've seen friends take their computers to support specialists to rid them of malware (spending more money than they'd prefer) and, lately, been privy to countless users faced with buying new machines to replace those running Windows 10.

XOR_singleheader: Header-only binary fuse and XOR filter library

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-04 08:09:26

Header-only Xor and Binary Fuse Filter library Bloom filters are used to quickly check whether an element is part of a set. Xor filters and binary fuse filters are faster and more concise alternative to Bloom filters. Furthermore, unlike Bloom filters, xor and binary fuse filters are naturally compressible using standard techniques (gzip, zstd, etc.). They are also smaller than cuckoo filters. They are used in production systems. This is a simple C header-only library. It implements both binar

Google’s Phone app could make resuming on-hold calls easier (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-04 22:13:53

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing a new “Unhold” shortcut in call notifications through its Phone app. The new button replaces the “Mute” button whenever a user puts a call on hold. Although not yet live, this change would improve usability by allowing users to resume held calls more efficiently. Google doesn’t mess around that much with the Google Phone app. It makes sense too, as you don’t want to disturb muscle memory for people for crucial tasks like calls. But e

Bus Bunching

news.ycombinator.com Greg Ross 2025-12-31 10:24:02

When two or more buses are scheduled at regular intervals on the same route, planners may expect that each will make the same progress, pausing at each stop for the same interval (1). But if Bus B is delayed by traffic congestion (2), it incurs a penalty: Because it arrives late to the next stop, it will pick up some passengers who’d planned to take Bus C (3). Accommodating these passengers delays Bus B even longer, putting it even further behind schedule. Meanwhile, Bus C begins to make unusual

Sony is finally making it possible to pair a DualSense with more than one device

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-05 15:17:15

Sony is bringing a welcome quality-of-life feature to the PlayStation 5. In the next PS5 system update beta, players will be able to have their DualSense controllers synced with multiple hardware platforms at the same time. That means you could swap a controller from a PS5 to your gaming PC to your smartphone without needing to re-pair the DualSense each time. Up to four devices can be simultaneously paired with a single controller, and each of them will be mapped to one of the action buttons.
