>Be kind to you.

This is probably the best lesson to learn in life. Love yourself. Forgive yourself. Put one foot in front of the other and keep moving.

My mother used to tell me that I was a genius but I ignored her because she was a little crazy (literally).

I think we should all try to find out what we are good at and try to improve that. The more I read HN the more I get humbled into knowing that I don't know or understand much in terms of the complex world we live in. I don't even approach genius, nope not even close.

I used to get depressed thinking about what I could have become. And as I approach retirement (4 years out) I have had many thoughts of regret for what could have been. But now I seem more comfortable in being me, in being what I had and have not accomplished and being okay with that.

For me the big accomplishment has been raising a family that is well adjusted and loving.

Why should make solve the dependency expectations of what it is building?

If I use pip as part of my buildchain, then it has a series of places it can lookup, or you can supply one. Same with npm, cargo, and even Go.

If instead, I use a tool that has dynamic lookup, then it will only look in those places after the event.

So, if I used make to send a command like:

$(echo 'require "foo"' > bar.lua)

Then it can lookup those when the lua file is called, later in the process.

So how would this be a limitation of make itself? The limitation only exists in what you call with make... Which could be anything.

Best way is to wait and see what circumstances bring. It is an experience that makes your strengths and weaknesses clear as day.

The big one is sleep. A book on sleeping routines usually always help everyone. The contented baby handbook is a good one.

The problem with reading books before hand is that a lot preach to an unrealistic ideal. You will find what works best for you, your partner and baby afterwards. It's the only way.

The more you train for and learn the better, I would also recommend looking into the Linux Foundation - https://training.linuxfoundation.org/certification and the very well known Linux Certifications from Redhat - https://www.redhat.com/en/services/certification since they are performance based and you cannot pass them without actually being able to do the work.

If you want to add a few more in demand skill sets to the mix I would also recommend getting at least a CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) and possibly a CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional) certification so you will also be very sufficient in understanding and configuring routers and switches for LANs and WANs. These would help when determining how to scale your website, if you ever end up managing a colocation setup or have to get hands on with the hardware as there is normally not a separate network engineer on site unless the customer has a very large budget to pay for both system engineers and network engineers.

This is a common problem in people who play computer games, especially those that are mouse heavy. The solution is pretty simple actually.

Simply lower your mouse sensitivity. Now you use your mouse by moving your entire arm instead of your wrist.

Of course they do it to aim better, but it also puts less strain on your wrist and hand

This is great.... Thanks. I figured it out last month while comparing my business returns against stock .
I think I get what you're saying, but after thinking a little about it I can only see the big problem of standardization.

How can a discussion forum signal that one message was sent in reply to other message? Or how can a wiki say that one word links to another article?

If you don't have a standard for all this (which means a standard for everything anyone could invent to run on top of this style-free web) then people will come up with their own way of doing it, and the browser should support different ways of doing it, thus people will start inventing new ways of signalizing that a message is a message, a user profile is a user profile, a link is a link etc.

Thus we end up with styles and the web as it is today.

Why?

So don't live it. In your opening sentence you say you must hide your identity and in your last sentence you say it is tiring to live like that. So don't hide behind the "mask of sanity" and then you don't need to be tired.

It won't be easy, but nothing worthwhile is.

Thanks for sharing that with us. Your perspective is one that I have not seen before, probably because I haven't thought about psychopathy as anything more than the public persona of murderers and rapists.

Your perspective resonates as very plausible.
A Mathematical Intro to Special Relativity
A makefile consists of rules. Each rule contains a dependency line which defines a target and an enumeration of prerequisites. This means that the dependencies have to be known before the target is built. By design, it is impossible for a single-pass make(1) invocation to derive dependencies for a C program, as dependencies are output by the compiler.

By contrast, redo builds the target first and then records what was used to build it. For example, when compiling a C file with “gcc -M”, gcc will output dependency information. With redo, you normally record those dependencies after the target has been built. With make(1), that information has to end up in the makefile somehow, possibly leading to further builds.

Not really. I like sex, but I really do not care about reproducing, that much. And sex is really not that important to me. My dream is to create something awesome that I can show off to the whole world. I have a feeling that most males are like me, they simply settle for something easier like sex.
They already make lots of money, do you think they really need an extra thousand / month from banners or selling t-shirts? I can guesstimate that they receive many inquires for new business and that could easily bring in more $ than they could ever get from some "clever" monetizing.
uMatrix does this well (if you are on Firefox)
I see two problems, which cause the 3 cited in the article.

First, the web does not scale. If your web site becomes popular, (even if temporarily), you have to handle the load, or suffer unavailability. This effect is magnified if you publish heavy files such as videos. This draws people towards centralised services such as blog and vlog platforms, which serve us ads and restrict free speech because that's how they make money and manage not to get sued every time someone says something illegal somewhere.

Second, the web has eaten the internet. We use it for email, file sharing… basically everything but phone apps and networked games. It's gotten so ubiquitous that nobody notices the serious attack on their internet connection: crappy upload, closed SMTP port, NAT…

The solution is as simple as it is impossible: we need to get rid of the web —mostly.

First, some infrastructure. We need symmetric bandwidth, public IP(v6), no closed ports, and a nice 5W home server/router/firewall that's always on.

Second, we need to replace web services by something else. Publishing should be handled by peer-to-peer protocols similar to BitTorrent, so that popularity doesn't eat all your bandwidth. And poof, just like that, services like Medium and YouTube are no longer needed. So are centralised social networks —we can do decentralised restricted publishing. Everyone can of course have their own mail server, no need for gmail to spy on us. Public forums can probably be decentralised as well, maybe if we take inspiration from newsgroups?

Then the web will scale back to its proper place, and hopefully will stop being a threat to our freedoms.

Not so long ago I read a similar article. This small piece of research is just that - a piece, and I'm going to guess the actual effect will be seen once we combine the pieces. Sleep deprivation itself obviously isn't sustainable, but other things might just be.

Other sleep-related studies show things like decreasing REM sleep helps as well. Some psychiatric drugs already have this effect on people, in fact. Obviously, going without sleep is going to do this. Granted, this is all speculation from the bits I've read, but it would make sense - as well as why some folks find weed to help greatly: taken regularly, it often decreases dreaming.

I'd provide the link, but I can't remember where I read it. I've seen a few articles reporting on this particular thing.
Isn't Facebook the biggest culprit of web? Their walled garden approach and lack of social network portability is what I feel is killing web more than anything.
Don't make expensive decisions because S3 was down
I agree completely with the need of a new web. The bad information all across the web is gimmicky and flashy click bait is everywhere. Many people are becoming weary and desensitized to everything out there. We need to create a clean and simple, no bs web where information is clear and reliable.

Wikipedia I think is a small picture of what it could look like. Especially if better monitors are enforced.

> why not just start your own and fix it?

Because the State punishes you if you start emitting? It's called spectrum allocation.

Just because you can technically start a company doesn't mean you have anything resembling a free market, and in fact the examples you gave (wireless and healthcare) are two of the most regulated industries.

That doesn't mean the free market wouldn't be even worse than what we have now. It's just that you can't use that argument against it.

> The point of a business is to make a profit. This is many times at odds with what people actually need to e.g. Stay alive. I'm not sure why many people keep attempting to suggest businesses as a solution to the modern basic needs of humans. They're fundamentally misaligned.

And the point of the State is to further the ambitions of politicians and their pay masters (like those business owners who lobby them).

You can never get real alignment, so that's an irrelevant argument. Even parents are often not aligned with the welfare of their children.
This is like saying "Google" is not a verb. People always find ways to evolve usage of words in different ways, and that's the beauty of human language.

However I do agree with you on how it's annoying these people (not just journalists but startup investors and entrepreneur wannabes) who just learned about Bitcoin (probably never used them but just read it on a blog post or a book) and keep saying Bitcoin sucks but blockchain will change everything.
We're involved in a new "fight of the systems". Instead of Capitalism vs. Communism, it's Democracy vs Authoritarianism. There are a number of countries following the example set by Russia and China, such as Turkey, Hungary, the Philippines and Poland. Others are flirting with the idea, such as the US, France or South Africa.

The problem is that these systems work a lot better than Communism ever did, especially if you look only at economic indicators, and only at the part of the population that doesn't complain.

>It is immeasurably tragic in many ways that this phenomenon is being used to sell hearing aids and more anxiety.

I think it is plausible that areas of the brain that are used for processing sound atrophy when used less. I'm not experienced with the deaf community so can't comment on that aspect of your comment.

I came upon the article on my own. The article was not used to sell me hearing aids. But it helped me get over the stigma of having hearing aids. So for that I am grateful for having read the article and having it help my motivation. Having hearing aids for 6 months now have been valuable beyond description.

I have insider knowledge of most large FreeBSD shops and I have to be careful to not overshare so I will use my current employer, which has publicly disclosed 10^4 machine count in shareholder earnings reports and technical talks.

This is just at my small 500 person company. There are several users with 10^5 machine count, and you can't forget about !US. I hope that helps put things into perspective.

I think it is quite impossible for folks to sleep-but-not sleeping. It is kind of like testing LSD against a placebo - it is rather obvious after some time has passed which has the real thing and which doesn't. It is still quite obvious that it works.

I remember reading that some months ago. It's interesting but I take a different message from it.

And that is: wealth is ephemeral. Social status is far more enduring.

The Florence data looks at the surnames of top taxpayers. The truly wealthy are somewhat beyond individual earnings. But social status is a useful (arguably essential) advantage in securing certain work and opportunities.

This is true in England too as England has had a fairly rigid and enduring class system for a thousand years.

The 19th century was an impressib era for wealth creation with the industrialization of the United States. Look at the likes of Rockefeller, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Astor and th like. Most of those families survive today in some form. They are probably rich still but nowhere near the likes of Rockefeller who was the richest man in the world when he died. I'd say the larger legacy is again the enduring social status.

Primate social structure is fascinating in comparison. Alpha males and females tend to beget more of the same. Why is that? Is it strictly environment or is there more to it? I don't know.
