I'm sure many have heightened effects after covid who had issues before. I've had anxiety/depression but never panic attacks, nothing like I get now where almost like clockwork everyday at 2pm I feel anxiety grip me, and if I don't make it to my bed to lay down I get super dizzy and yell and scream at people.

Also brain fog, never ever had that before. I feel like there's an alien taking over my body and he forgot where everything goes. I'm driving down the street I live on, and I forget which house is mine, and nothing looks familiar.

I'm 41. Supplements sometimes help, but not everyday.
Yes, we all did.
The commit containing the backdoor was reverted with a new commit. See c730aa26bd and 2b0f239b on `php/php-src` repo on GitHub.
It's basically "Big Tech Bashing" at this point.

She wasn't working for Google, she was working for a contractor. Go to a different datacenter and it will be staffed by a different (local) contractor. Same thing for most of the building's maintenance staff. What makes it news-worthy is that the owner of that particular server-rack was a high-profile company. Had the same thing happened at a datacenter owned by a bank, nobody would have reported on it.
Great games!!
That same Altria Group has a >6% dividend yield.
I'm well aware of the current state of AI, thanks. You, however, may need to familiarize yourself with the current state of emotions research.

Sentiment detection in text, for example, is not emotion detection. That's not a rebuttal.

As an example of what I mean, you can feed a NYT news article written by a journalist experiencing regret, or boredom, or elation, due to events at home, while writing it -- and it won't pick up a thing. But it may pick up a valid sentiment of outrage, which was intended by the author as the desired effect upon the reader, but which was not once felt as an emotion by the author while writing it.

Semantic detection is far easier because the author of text generally tries to communicate a sentiment, consciously, in their text, and text is intended to have fairly unambiguous meaning. Neither is generally true of emotions on the face.

And nowhere did I say emotions only exist in static images. Of course they are communicated through voice, video, etc. -- I don't know how anyone could think otherwise.
Or maybe just the particular companies you work for. At many companies I've worked for, and many others I haven't, drinking with coworkers happens often enough that many they have regular official happy hours at bars.
I don't think it's your inexperience. I have found most people don't care if you know something else well that's outside the remit of your current role. Some are actively threatened by it.

I also switched careers 10 years ago. I have found that having this broad experience has helped me to make better decisions, understand different points of view and to work with others better.

But I usually have no ability to directly apply the experience from my first career, and very few organisations would ever want or allow me to. It's a pleasure when I can, but it's rare.
> it becomes more and more important to plan before you write.

I'll counter that with a real-world experience.

I contracted at a well known company that did system design & documentation first, without doing prototyping, etc. My first day working on the UI I pointed out that the web app had so many menus that the actual content would barely fit on a 15" laptop screens.

The team debated and debated on how to fix it, but ultimately it kept getting trumped by the documentation team who said the docs are done so we couldn't change anything. I left after a couple of months. They worked on it for a year before finally tossing it out.
I know some Koine Greek and am just starting on Hebrew, both of which I wanted to learn to help me understand the Bible better (as a Christian). For Greek, I bought myself a textbook to get started and did a lot of vocabulary on Memrise. To keep up my interest, I started reading "real texts" as quickly as possible, using a bilingual edition of the New Testament. It's worked fairly well, I can read and understand ~80% of the NT, though my grasp of the grammar is still thin.

I'm using the same approach for Hebrew now, hope it works again. Latin is also on my learning list because of its importance in studying history, but I haven't seriously gotten to it yet.
> To this day, Belgian schools do not in any way teach that Belgium is solely responsible for the Rwandan genocide in the early 90s.

I don’t want to minimize the atrocities of the Belgian Congo. But the Belgians are not and can never be held “solely responsible” for the Rwandan genocide. The agency, and the moral responsibility, for that genocide rests primarily in the hands that gripped those machetes and used them to gruesomely murder and dismember their neighbors, and those hands were not Belgian.

Everyone who has ever committed an atrocity had some historic excuse for it. The lesson of the 20th century is that no historical excuse or context provides a justification for mass murder. Belgians have committed horrible atrocities in the past, but that doesn’t justify or somehow transfer the blame for the atrocities committed by the descendants of their victims against each other.

Feel free to fix up the link/description to be more useful/accurate.
Apparently you need to count better.

Java was introduced alongside Objective-C, with a common bridge to call into Objective-C runtime, as Apple was unsure if the Apple developer community would be welcoming to Objective-C.

They dropped it after the community was more than happy to adopt Objective-C.

About the same time they introduced PyObjC support and for a while there was MacRuby, which due to internal politics was eventually dropped, the creator left and now sells RubyMotion for mobile development, originally based on it.

Then if we switch back to the System days, there was Object Pascal, replaced by C++ frameworks, Hypercard, Lisp, Dylan.
When I publish it's often as a single author, that's because I work on the things that I am allowed to publish on my spare time. Very little of my day to day is suited to publication. So - when I see other single author papers I assume that they are also hobbyists.

Do you tip when picking up takeaway, or buying fast food? Or when checking in at the airport? Do you tip a web designer, or when buying a car?

Elsewhere in the discussion, someone notes that the vast majority would tip when buying Coke at the pub, but not at a fast food place. At either place, the process seems pretty similar to me.
I would hope (and where I work, it seems to be the case) that decision makers understand that "digital twins" are only twins with respect to a select set of parameters that are being optimized by use of such model. But then, buzzwords do have a life of their own.
I disagree with your last point. Don't think of it as paying $10/book for "something I'm only going to read once", because its more than that. Essentially you're paying someone to work hard and labor on a topic you are interested in for years; and distill that years of research into a few hundred pages so that you don't have to do all the work.

Someone once told me that if you can get _1_ idea from a book that changes you're outlook on things; then it's worth it, and I agree. I don't understand how people can say $10 on a book is too much; you can friggin' spend more than that on one meal!

EDIT: And as eru said, if you still think its too much, join a library.
So Google removed them all except 3? That seems pretty bad.
I am in the exact same situation as you. I live in Sharjah. my github: https://github.com/hammadfauz
Most of the times, I want to make something, but I have no idea what. If you or anyone has something neat to do, I'll be glad to participate.

I tried some affiliate links to some job site, but there was zero traction:-/
Why do people like Steam anyway? I went to try it out and it tried to install a bunch of spyware crap on my computer and get me to agree to a 50 page legal document full of terms only a madman would agree to.
Testing protocol implementations. I had a recent bug where the speed on localhost was masking a race condition between the packet reader and parser. Only caught it when testing over the Internet.

Basically you want full control over your simulation parameters.
Contrast that engineer's perspective with the scientist's. Einstein: “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

Unfortunately, I'm unaware of how to do this natively but I recommend using Dummynet which has a Windows port of the FreeBSD networking tool. Oddly, their website appears to be down so here is the Google cache:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:YJ8bhlD...

You need to install the drivers but once done you effectively use the same commands with ipfw as on FreeBSD (as described in another thread http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2005190). I just used it for the first time the other day to test a web app browsing with a 400ms delay on a WinXP machine. It worked like a charm.
I apparently have a gawker account, because I received an email from gawker telling me about the breach. This surprised me because I did not remember ever making a gawker account, and I have no entries for any gawker site in 1Password as far as I can see.

Checking the supposedly full database that the hackers released, the email address gawker mailed to is not there (nor are any other email addresses of mine).

I have not received an email from LinkedIn (yet), but when I attempted to log in to it a few minutes ago, it failed and told me there was a problem with my account. I just tried again and this time it takes me to a page that says they have been notified there is a problem with my account and they are fixing it and I'll be taken to my home page in a few minutes.

Net result: I am now very confused.
No ideas/people are showing up.
C/C++ should really be separated. There are very few lisps with good C++ interop, and so they are an interesting category on their own.
and to think, if the scammer had just bothered to write a poem he may have gotten the $2000
I don't think you are understanding this article correctly. The 'decoy item' would be a very high priced item that the restaurant does not expect to actually sell: '$96 Coq au Vin for Two. Reserve 24 hours in advance.'

This is an extreme example, but what I'm talking about is more common. Think about chain restaurants like CPK, Macaroni Grill, PF Changs, etc. These restaurants just need to keep you seated long enough to sell you drinks. In order to do that without losing money on dishes, they need to funnel you into higher margin entrees. All other things being equal (i.e. the fixed costs of keeping the restaurant open), they want you eating pasta, not chicken.

It's simple math...pasta costs pennies per serving in raw materials, can be stored for long periods of time, and is easy to prepare (you boil and simmer it, and it is easy to keep warm while you prepare other dishes). It is by far the highest margin food item on the menu. Salad would be close, but it has a short shelf life. Chicken and other meat dishes are more complicated because they have a short shelf life (you don't freeze these because it kills the flavor and texture), and they need to be cooked just right and served quickly or you risk serving it cold or drying it out under heat lamps (resulting in expensive do-overs). The $15 (or $20) chicken entree is the real decoy...the restaurant would love to serve everyone pasta because it is a much higher margin (all other fixed costs being the same).

EDIT: I just googled "restaurant profit margins" and the second result gives the same example: http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/SavingandDebt/ConsumerA...

Given the slim profit margin, many restaurants rely on savvy pricing to create the illusion of value. Putting a chicken dish on the menu for $21 will make a $15 pasta dish, where the restaurant is making a big profit, seem like a bargain, says Gregg Rapp, the owner of consulting firm MenuTechnologies.net.

That's funny...good thing I'm not the only one who noticed that at restaurants!
This is sure to be successful. The Indiegogo campaign already went over its limit, with 41 days left to go. Kudo's to young Ben Yu.

I can't help but be reminded of the Caffeine Patch scene from Meet the Robinsons, though.

Mr. Willerstein: Dr. Krunklehorn, I know you're very busy at Inventco Labs. And we're just so happy to have you as a judge.

Lucille Krunklehorn: It's my pleasure, Mr. Willerstein. Hey, you never know, one of your students may invent the next integrated circuit, or microprocessor, or integrated circuit. Oh wait, I said that already. Well, I just don't get out of the lab very much. Is that a bowtie? I like bowties. I haven't slept in eight days!

Mr. Willerstein: Uh, well then, can I get you a cot or something?

Lucille Krunklehorn: Nope, I have the caffeine patch. It's my invention. Each patch is the equivalent of 12 cups of coffee. You can stay up for days with no side effects. AHHH!!! Sorry.

People are driven by a desire for mastery, or the enjoyment of their colleagues and/or customers, or the actual impact of the work.

The fact that most businesses aren't saving the world, they are just making money is why so many pretend to be about saving the world. See: Silicon Valley's episode in season 1 about TechCrunch Disrupt.

"sure, but you've still lost your home, anything you didn't take with you, possibly your job, and have to now find somewhere else to live and completely change your life."

I think you just laid out precisely why it is hard for them to move out ASAP.
The article touches on it a bit, but I wonder what kind of value a company as mature as Pigeon.ly is going to get from YC.

Not saying it'll be lower than others, just probably different.
Lost and burned coins are included in the notion of circulating supply, which is simply the sum of all historical block subsidies.
I'm surprised to hear that sentiment about the vacuums in particular!

I found the v11 I bought to be vastly better than previous vacuums I've owned, with excellent power despite being cordless, really light and much much quieter.

I haven't used any other Dyson products; I opted to buy Rabbit air purifiers over a Dyson Air.
Well sure that's a strong selling point of both matrix and XMPP. What matrix clients are you using and which do you recommend for desktop use? I stopped using matrix because Element was really slow/buggy, but decent CLI/desktop clients with tor integration do interest me (there was just none of those at the time).
I hate them. They blow water all over the place and I can't help but touch them by mistake. I don't even use them and just wipe my hands on the back of my t-shirt like an animal after washing if there are no paper towels.
We have the Dyson v10 animal vacuum stick and use it daily to clean up after our 1 year old. It’s fantastic, easy to use, strong suction, easy to empty/clean. I’m thinking of buying a second for our upstairs.
If anyone prefers video, a while back I put together a similar type of post / video going over and demoing a bunch of apps / tools that I use on Windows to have what I feel like is a decent development environment focused on web development using Docker, WSL 2 and heavy terminal usage.

That's at: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/a-linux-dev-environment-on-wi...

Been using the set up for years now with slight changes over the years (WSL 1 to WSL 2, etc.), it's solid.

Unfortunately it doesn't bypass it here. The site routes the page through Google Translate but the article is still behind the paywall.
they uplift communication satellites, this is quite a value, isn't?
The title uses the word "how", as in "the mechanism by which", not "whence", as in "where it comes from". In that respect it's accurate, not unfortunate.
And what value do you place on, say, GNU/copyleft, or HTTP/HTML, or the Fourier transform?

Market capitalization does not indicate importance to the human race, though it's easy to lose sight of that.
Interesting. We haven't discussed anything about insurance. They are willing to reimburse the travel cost for me. I'll need to buy tickets for my wife though. I haven't really considered relocation costs but I think that'll be a one-time expense.
Are you claiming that someone or something is forcing you to visit certain websites?
I'm not sure I understand here this issue. When I'm using typeform, and I click "next" or scroll to the next question, I've always assumed that has meant "submit this answer".

I don't consider the entire thing a form, and at some point I may go "ok, I'm done answering your questions, I don't want to do this anymore", and I leave. I don't assume at that point that nothing has happened. I answered a bunch of questions and gave you the data.

Do other people really look at this UI as if it was a single form, rather than a submit per entry?
BP definitely understands, better than anyone else who pretends to what is going on. The problem is that what is really going on is incredibly scary proposition. The truth is that from the beginning the only real way to fix this is with relief wells which they are in the process of drilling. The problem with the relief well is that it takes about 6 months to implement. Do you really expect BP to come out with that to the American people?

I have this on good authority by a petroleum engineer in a rival oil company. Believe me or not but I think that the people in the oil industry probably no better about how to fix this problem than Obama or anyone else in government who are just going to get in the way. First, I do not at all agree with offshore drilling, however it bothers me that people assume that BP is holding out or that this is really an easy thing to fix. They aren't because letting the disaster continue will destroy their company and it isn't easy considering they are composed of people who studied petroleum engineering and actually no what they are doing. Johnny's silly, uninformed ideas aren't going to work either. Hell, the petroleum engineer I know also said that Russia's idea of nuking the leak would be the quickest way to fix but the government, or sane people, wouldn't allow that.

The bottom line is that we should never have been drilling in the first place. This spill is terrible but it happened and we have to deal with it. It bothers me though that people really think BP isn't doing the best they can and has the best people in the world working on this. The entire oil industry is helping them. The government and other entities should worry about supporting them and helping the people affected by this cope with the fallout. Leave the technical details to the professionals because everyone else ideas are uninformed, will slow things down, and will not work. Only a relief well will and thats 4 months away so why not worry about helping the people of the golf? The truly sad thing is that Americans will still get up tomorrow and drive their gas guzzling SUVs 2 miles to work instead of riding bike and those bullet trains and public transportation efforts are still decades away...
Why does it matter if "anyone cares?"

Nobody (generally speaking on the grand scale) is using LISP for much of anything. Same is true with Ruby, you'll be hard pressed to find a "serious" or "major" company actually shipping Ruby. You look in those terms and you have 2 options: C++ on Windows and Objective-C on Apple, those are the only interesting client app platforms that the "major players" are doing anything with. Maybe you throw .NET in to the mix but that looks a lot more like Windows-only 'java' for enterprise server apps than a client platform.

I could see the concern about major player adoption being an issue of Java going away; that doesn't seem likely anywhere except maybe on Apple, even there I doubt it will happen until Oracle or another third party "takes over" the Java on OSX platform, I couldn't see it becoming completely unavailable. Now Java isn't great at doing the fancy platform integration, the Mac menu and windows tray support seem a bit fragile and the interest has been low enough that it doesn't have a ribbon menu and various modern animated UI components can be a lot of work in Java. Depending upon what you need the client app to do though it still seems like a totally viable platform. If it does what you need, what does any of the other stuff matter?

Juniper's VPN client is in java.
Only naive implementations of quicksort take O(n^2) time. Most good implementations will switch to another sort (generally heapsort) after detecting adversarial conditions.
> You can think of your existing power as the exponent in an equation that determines the value, to you, of more information. The more power you have, the more additional power you derive from the new data.

so P = (i + I) ^ p

where

p = previous level of power

i = old level of information

I = new additional information

P = new level of power

Is that right? How does this even make sense? Does this work out to be a super exponential function? Lets try some numbers

Starting out with power = 2, information = 2 and sequentially increasing i by 1 gives

(2+1)^2 = 9,

(3+1)^9 = 262144

(4+1)^262144 = some really big number

You get the idea. Also note that if you drip feed yourself the information in smaller increments (say 0.1) then your power grows much faster.

By this reckoning it is amazing that some entity hasn't already irrevocably taken control of the entire world. You can see how ones perspective would be pretty messed up if you thought the relationship was actually like this. Gives me new insight into the thinking of Schneier.
"No, I'm not going back to work in McDonalds. I've worked there for three years and frankly I'm sick of dealing with the stress of waking up in wee hours and coming back home past midnight, not to mention the substantially lower academic grades that'll come with spending so much energy making burgers."

Have you ever heard of the Google Summer of Code? It is this program ran by Google every summer where you get to contribute to an Open Source project. You can only apply to this program if you are student, and I think it would be a very valuable experience for you if you manage to get in. Working with Open Source can also give you the time traveling experience that you want by receiving the advice of the most experienced developers from that community, since it is in their best interests for you to become a better developer so you can help within that project.
