> He’s here to take my job. The VP knows him and hired him directly. There’s so many signals each week that say I’m right. He’s trying to take credit for a decade of my hard work. He’s going to exploit me and everyone will believe him and not me.

I think this is where it’s important to know yourself.

If you’re having a constant stream of anxiety inducing thoughts and light paranoia, learning how to silence those and introduce a more objective view is helpful.

It can be taken too far, though. I had a friend whose company was showing all of the warning signs of financial problems, yet he was on a positivity kick and chose to substitute an “everything works out eventually” mentality. Instead, he rode the company right into their inevitable shutdown and missed some good opportunities to take other jobs along the way because he thought ignoring his gut was the right thing to do.

I often tell Claude Code: "You're an author writing about..." and really dial in the content. When it says it was written by an author who _blank_, that author is a combination of my prompts and Opus 4.1's generated output. I would argue that there is a place for guides, opinions, and more from our LLM friends, and I don't make a penny telling you that or sharing what I've generated. I create these kinds of works because I value them, and the stars on the github repo tell me other people value them too. Take, for example "React is Awful" with over 300 stars. It fills a gap in the learning space, and is CC0. You can OPEN A PR if it's wrong about something, or contribute more. Seemed pretty chill to me.

Leipzig is rather inconsistent.

Hauptbahnhof (main station) is incomplete, or possibly overly pedantic; it's missing the "Westseite" station part where tram 9 stops (it doesn't pass through the 4 middle tracks where the other trams make their stops.) It's technically listed as a separate stop on plans, but last I checked it's considered the same stop for transfers (i.e. you don't get "walk from station A to station B" instructions.) It's also almost directly above the subterranean S-Bahn tracks that are shown, so just by location it should be included… (and it's also misspelled Leizpig, which is a little funny.)

For Bayerischer Bahnhof and Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz, the tram stops are completely missing.

If you plan to maintain the application in the future, using MVC/MVP/MVVM patterns will reduce the cognitive load, allowing you to implement new features and fix bugs much faster. I also noticed that you started writing this small application from May 10 to September 13 (with 'First Production' commits on September 7), which is almost 4 months. However, such an application can usually be written within 1 month at most (with design patterns), even if the developer is a beginner. The further the application develops, the harder it will be to maintain, because too much refactoring will be required (large chunks of code will need to be deleted or replaced, which increases the risk of new bugs). In addition, inheritance is necessary so that, through polymorphism, implementations can be replaced without introducing new bugs and while extending functionality. In short, there needs to be a balance between inheritance and refactoring so that the application can be maintained for decades.

This is an astute point. I’m a mid-40s mech engineer in the Bay Area. HN is my tribe, by and large. I’ve been bombarded with perspectives that ADHD medication is the answer. (Not officially diagnosed, but I’m confident I meet the criteria and very likely “afflicted.”)

The brain is complex—adapted, or maladapted, for different tasks. My working hypothesis: mine is maladapted to the behaviors currently rewarded in corporate America. And I know I’m not Feynman.

So here I am, stuck in a bi-modal world (or maybe just worldview). This piece hits hard.

Honestly, I actually take OP’s somewhat flippant remark as a very real counterpoint to both the article and to the Emerson quote: be careful what you consume, lest you become it. I have met people whose core sexuality is obviously shaped by porn, I’ve met people who eat unhealthy food every day and are surprised that they’re unhealthy, and I’ve met people who read/watch a ton of useless shit and it subconsciously or consciously starts to shape their identity and beliefs, even if they don’t start out believing what they’re reading/watching.

Had a similar experience at a dining hall in college:

- Walk into crowded dining hall

- See a big round 8 seater table with only a backpack at one seat

- Only available seat so I place my tray with food down in the opposite seat

- Pretty girl ends up sitting at that first seat. Kind of cool (especially since this is an engineering campus)

- her 6 other friends sit down at the table

- I didn't know what to do so silently and VERY awkwardly finished my meal as they were all joking around and having a great time

- Got up and left once I was done

- I should add: at no point did anyone ask me who I was or make any comments towards me

Today me would totally have either excused myself and joked about it or made small talk with the "I am totally a the wrong table" as an opener

No machines have had the impressive presence that these machines had in period. Although nice hardware has came out since then, nothing just makes civilians drop their jaws in awe and wonder.

Eh, I don't know about that. The Onyx2 looks like a dorm fridge that also makes espresso. Meanwhile, here's Seymour Cray, inviting you to have a seat on his couch...

I could say the same for lots of non-vibe-coded apps. Have you considered that modern vibe-coding can easily produce apps that look better than anything from 20 years ago thanks to all the modern frameworks? Heck, one-shotting a GUI or website will yield better-looking results than anything published by Debian or FreeBSD, lol.

No one has really pointed forward a convincing explanation of who is behind this movement. The idea that this is the police is ludicrous to me, I don't know every european country but my overall opinion is that they have very little sway over anything.

I am in a group of high civil servants for digital services in France and strangely no one seems to have heard about the project despite these people drafting most of France's position on numeric policies.

My view is it is probably more about mass control (avoiding a movement like Gilets Jaunes and the like) than anything else.

lol if I saw a teammember create a PR with "[vibe]" in the title I would: 1) Gape in disbelief 2) Shout obscenities as loud as I can 3) Take a deep breath 4) reject the PR and seriously consider firing them.

Yeah "consider firing" is a bit of an extreme kneejerk reaction, but I just feel like we HAVE to create consequences for this nonsense.

This situation has played out in every developed nation, do you really think NL is unique? Look at any country in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, China, … and they all have a huge issue with inflated asset prices (housing, stocks, gold) because wealth is becoming more concentrated and rich people need to park their wealth somewhere, and that somewhere is gold, stocks, real estate, bonds, and mortgages.

Also notice that asset prices started increasing across the world way before we had green energy policies. I live in a place where they canceled a bunch of green energy policies (mainly carbon taxes) and guess what happened to asset prices? Nothing.

Also note that the top 10% of wealthy people own over 50% of the wealth in NL https://www.cbs.nl/en-gb/news/2025/03/56-percent-of-wealth-i...

Everyone has the right to complain about practically anything they want.

But that doesn’t mean that freezing an account suspected of fraud isn’t the right course of action.

Yeah there’s going to be false positives. However that’s precisely why you freeze the account: to allow you time to follow due process and investigation. If you assumed the process was infallible then you wouldn’t need to freeze the account; you would just skip straight to the punishment and remediation stages ;)

These are all open source github repos. Claude code came up with the commit messages; I'm guiding the tone and content. I read it as it is generated, and review it. I recommend getting a folder with claude code, codex cli, or gemini cli, and tell it it's an author writing a book. Once you've done the work, you'll know how much is human and how much is machine. Moot point amongst all the haters. I'm hoping some more PRs will come in and this content will evolve into a new form of media we collaborate on together.

> The PA-RISC processor are really cool

I'm glad someone else thinks so!

There's a very interesting vid about the design of the ISA here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C53tGHzp1PI and I think it's pretty clear they learned from early MIPS/Sparc. It's a shame it got abandoned in the Itanium push.

The Alpha was also a performance king in that era, but tbh I don't have the same nostalgia for it, although clearly it was executed very well.

your body does stop making its own but there is no clear answer as to whether or not your body loses the ability to restart its own endogenous production. thats how new and also ignored/understudied testosterone hrt is… if you wait a fee years there might be new information or biomarkers that can help answer this question.

there are other things you can do to preserve your bodies natural T production. there are medications that induce it but its not been studied for long term use. there is also another hormone you can take called HCG that will cause your body to continue making test but its difficult to use.

I talked about this in another comment here, but the danger in unhealthy introspection is getting lost in your own mind in an Escher stair fashion where the immediate scope of your thinking appears to make sense. But in reality you've constructed a faulty, hard to escape representation.

It takes some time, but it helps to take a somewhat adversarial approach and try to falsify your introspection. That's why writing is important. It forces you to lay out the structure for later review. When you just think about something, how that thinking "felt" makes up a lot more of your judgement than the actual coherence or validity.

You need to be able to step outside yourself which is easier said than done, but that's a good skill for a variety of reasons. Writing is an important way of doing it. It's like a snapshot of you in a moment of time that you can review later when you are a slightly different person. Sharing your introspection with others who you trust but don't think like you can also help: good friends, therapists, mentors. LLMs can be great for this sort of thing if you approach it with healthy skepticism and avoid leading it to your answer of choice (but if people can't, who knows where they'll end up).

Setting time boundaries help a lot. Also, resetting your mind by doing something that doesn't bend much to navel gazing helps. Your garden doesn't give a shit about your thoughts. I took judo on a trial run once. Your mind clears very fast when somebody is trying to re-introduce you to the ground.

I think that today, people's ability to do this has greatly diminished. Technology has made it much easier for people to get trapped in those staircases just because it makes them feel good in the short-term. With networks, it's even worse because now they are comforted by the shared experience. Those staircases become the identity and reality rather than something to escape from.

Going to? We do. Virtually all red states are poor, uneducated and unhealthy compared to blue states.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territ...

Regarding vaccines, if you live in a red state you probably won't be able to get one unless your a senior citizen, travel to another state, or possibly with a doctor's prescription.

The cost isn't negligible. The OS team at Apple is smaller than you'd think and has a tight schedule that cannot ever miss a ship date. Basically anything that uses anyone's attention has to be important.

> there's the question of who's going to make the call the not update a certification that's negligible within the scope of macOS development.

And one way that's managed is to have a DRI system which (ideally) prevents this from happening.

Good for Namecheap. They're still my default when I'm searching for new domains, even though I end up registering somewhere else (their bulk search is still best in class imo).

I'm a bit surprised at their revenue numbers considering domain registration is pretty much a commodity at this point. I always assumed non-technical people would first go to a web host/email provider that lets them buy a domain vs. a domain registrar that also supports email and web hosting. Clearly I'd be wrong.

The SQL:2011 syntax puts the temporal filters directly after base table reference (and before the table alias) [0]

i.e. it would be `SELECT * FROM orders FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF "@seq:1000" WHERE customer_id="cust1"` rather than `SELECT * FROM orders WHERE customer_id="cust1" AS OF "@seq:1000"` (the latter being an example from the DriftDB readme)

All this pattern recognition hypersensitivity in interpersonal relationships stems from the millions of years in which we killed each other (at a much higher rate compared to now) .

Somebody seems out of place in a group = killed or left starving or even sacrificed to the Gods in order to please them and get a good harvest.

Now we are in a different time not every moment is a do or die moment, we also only have a certain amount of "do or die cognition" built within us, when we run out of it , that's bad because we might need it in the future.

The problem is that we used to live very short and violent lives so the rational thing to do was to always be in "do or die" mode until you eventually ran out of luck and died around 30, or if you were lucky 35. And so it is the same happening right now.

At this point I think that people are justified when they load up on alcohol, weed and XanaX (America is one nation under XanaX). As the calming chemicals are used to fight the "do or die" tendencies that harass us daily.

From 2016:

>The strategy is being developed in close cooperation with China after a string of high-level meetings in Beijing and Moscow this year. At their first cybersecurity forum, in April, top Chinese officials and their Russian counterparts gathered in Moscow for the talks. Delegates included Lu Wei, the head of China’s state internet information office, Fang Binxing, the so-called father of the Great Firewall and Igor Shchyogolev, President Vladimir Putin’s assistant on internet issues and former minister of communications.

>“The principal agreement to have a forum was reached by Igor Shchyogolev and Fang Binxing at a meeting in December 2015 in Beijing,” said Denis Davydov, the executive director of the misleadingly named League of Safe Internet, a government-affiliated group that has drafted internet-filtering legislation and recruited teams of volunteers to patrol the web for “harmful content”.

the biggest benefit was to my sleep and this is true of pretty much everyone who takes it. i was able to have very deep, restful and unbroken sleep. the best sleep of my life. normally i can barely sleep and wake up in the night and do not feel rested. ive been like that since my 20s and nothing touches it besides testosterone. other benefits include much better mood, a tendency to be much more open and likable, tons of energy and motivation behind everything i do and of course being much stronger is also nice. cardiovascular performance, the ability to do cardio heavy tasks and not get winded, massively increased. i loved it. but it made me less calculated and thoughtful which is important for my job so i decided to stop. i will almost certainly start again in the future.

even after stopping i noticed that there seems to be a lot more pressure on my heels when im standing. i think it has a positive effect on my default sympathetic tone or something like that. drawbacks are sleep apnea, hair loss and testicle shrinkage

Not sure if it was that paper, but there was a similar paper showing this phenomenon which later turned out to contain an error:

https://retractionwatch.com/2015/07/21/to-our-horror-widely-...

People who left the study were actually miscoded as getting divorced.

After the adjustment the correlation was less but was still there.

From the second link:

> The privacy considerations for digital credentials are not static. They will evolve over time as the ecosystem matures, and may be informed by the behavior of other actors in the ecosystem, improvements in other layers of the stack, new threats to user privacy, as well as changing societal norms and regulations.

Boil the frog slowly and carefully, and look out for opportune moments that could help to speed up the process.

Ehh, im not sure they could have milked it for very long, if the iphone didn't come out somebody else would have made the same kind of device within a year or two and made ipods obsolete shortly after. PDAs were already a thing with many models and competitors, cell phone transceivers were getting far smaller and efficient, and solid state storage was getting reasonably cheap.

The most impressive thing about the iphone I didn't think has anything to do with the technology, and everything to do with timing the release of a mobile device to hit the sweet spot between the cost of the hardware and capability of the hardware.

> I remember reading a headline that being poor is equivalent to losing about 5 IQ points.

Poor people also spend a lot of time using cash equivalents rather than credit.

There is a big advantage to using credit. For example, I don't worry too much about fraud on my credit card as the reversibility means that the banking system is taking care of it. If a suspicious transaction hits my ATM card, the bank absolutely jumps on it since it simply doesn't match my patterns of usage.

On the other hand, if you are using your ATM card or cash transfer apps all the time, you're a ripe target for getting scammed. The protections are much weaker and the reversibility (if any) is much worse.

This doesn't even get into the fact that, as a poor person, the people you are transacting with are also stuck in the same system for various reasons of various levels of dubiousness.

There is some subtlety that you are missing here.

Outside of coreutils, let's consider bash and ksh88.

The two have differing behavior in several areas (coprocesses, alias handling, final pipeline fork, etc.), but this divergence in behavior happened before POSIX.2 and the standardization of the POSIX shell, which is largely a subset of ksh88.

The gist is that activating a mode for POSIX compliance will generally remove functionality, because the standardization happened a decade after development began, and the standards themselves were excessively conservative in adherence to System V.

I've seen that useful GNU extensions are generally adopted by BSD, but much more slowly by POSIX.

That does not serve UNIX well. Someone should challenge the Austin Group for effective control of UNIX standardization.

This is true in a world of balanced power between Congress, the judiciary, and the executive.

It is not true anymore, as all power is centralized in the parties. The House’s impeachment power will essentially never be used against the dominant party’s President, which allows POTUS to act with impunity and strongly incentivizes him to secure his party’s House dominance — a dynamic we’re seeing very explicitly at play over the last few months.

POTUS keeps the House reps in power, the House reps let POTUS do whatever he wants. Both win by severing their need to have popular policies in order to hold political power, so that’s what they work to do. Gerrymandering is an absolutely critical tool in this effort which is why POTUS has been publicly pressuring “members of different parts of the government” to pursue it (and they are!)

So no, it’s not a non-sequitur.

I think a better take away from this article is that if you aren’t buying your home like an investment (looking at cash flow and prioritizing financial outcome over all other factors such as distance to work or functionality), then you shouldn’t consider your home one. You’re paying for a place to live and if it happens to be financially sound, great. Otherwise you need to accept that you might lose money on it. Somehow this has been normalized for cars but not homes.

Name three?

Unfortunately, "reasonable" generally means "can do the things typically done with smartphones these days", which include things like banking, media streaming, and civic stuff - things mediated by the very systems whose vendors aren't just embracing remote attestation, but actually driving its proliferation.

For better or worse[0], this is not a technical problem - it's a social/political one. Technology created it, by making remote attestation possible - but the actual problem is with why companies want to use it.

I think you forget to take into account how centralized Japan is. Tokyo is not only the biggest city in the world. It’s also extremely centralized in terms of its infrastructure and as much as other Asian cities have developed similarly, they have also developed more recent and with a different urban model. It’s unlikely that the hub system used in Japan will be replicated somewhere else on that scale.
