It likely didn’t have all those ornamented gold weapon variants either...

I’d be happy for the progression in BF1 to be shorter or slower because it has fewer items. But that buy-your-stuff system where you grind for the currency and then have to read up to not make a horrible mistake and buy the wrong thing, I’m not a fan of.

I never thought of any combinations as OP in the older games either tbh
Right, which is why if I was a company producing cancer-causing things, I would push for as many things to be included on the list as possible. If you can't avoid having your product labeled as cancer causing, make sure EVERYTHING is labeled as cancer causing.

If not for economic impact, why do you work on Plan 9? Do you view it as a research project? A hobby?
Okay so what qualifies in your opinion?
How about David vs Saul?
I mean, are you contending than any story that isn't purely one man against another man individually and without reference to nationalism or collective pursuit are the only narratives that count as dualistic?
I'm lost as to why none of those count, but somehow Star Wars fits the bill?

Also, in Revelation, Death is personified, and if you don't believe that's good vs. evil, I'm not sure where we'll agree. Death seems to be pretty universally considered bad.
> For many of them, they see education as a negative attribute

Yes it's an unfortunate byproduct of the link between education and left wing ideology.

We often joked that people who go away to college come back dumber than when they left.

As an example when my daughter was in college she came to visit us and was talking about how I was contributing to the patriarchy and enabling the oppression of women and how women have it so much worse.

And I'm sitting there thinking what happened to my sweet girl and why am I working a stressful job with long hours to help pay for her to learn this kind of crap.
Do what brings you joy in every day.
> The Linux kernel is maintained by hundreds of contributers and Linus is quite cautious about regressions.

I just wish similar caution was demonstrated from userspace component maintainers.

> Linux has a mature ecosystem and several flavors and components to choose from.

And certain high ranking userspace maintainers are chomping at the bit to pair the number of flavors and components right down, to ease their own workload.
I hope they're not just knee-jerk going "pain is a part of life" for everything. I had surgery to set a broken ankle last year, and the first night I was nearly in agony after taking a prescribed Vicodin. I can't imagine how bad it would have been if they'd tried to fob me off with ibuprofen.
Yes, there are meta-skills of tool use. Another enduring eg: vi. Muscle-memory investment is retained - very like tool-use in a physical craft. I think git will last forever(!) too.

Still seems more like a journey man or handyman than craftsmanship, but maybe that's not fair of me.

I agree there is deep craft in understanding tools. Hmmm, maybe developing/maintaining those enduring tools is even closer to craftsmanship? Unfortunately, enduring codebases get worse over time by conglomeration! The antithesis of craftsmanship. People who have written the same kind of enduring tool several times (from scratch) would probably be the epitome of software craftsmanship. e.g. plan 9 and go.

But, gluing black-boxes is more productive.
that is a cheap shot. while it could be screens, it could also be the polarization of society. and while the polarization may also relate to the decentralizatoin of media and it's arbitration (enabled by screens), this too is more complex that just the screen.
I remember a similar case in 2015-16 where Microsoft employees also suffered PTSD after moderating content -

The ship was clearly capable of trans-Atlantic travel. However it belonged to a class of ships -- schooners -- which were optimized for shallow water. The Clotilda was built in 1855 and had presumably hauled a lot of non-human cargo before its final journey in 1860.
We had one of those at university. They are an order of magnitude nicer to use than a normal stereo microscope. It takes a little bit of getting used to the magnification and your hand/eye coordination, but I could happily use it for 8 hours with no pain.
Operating System:
- the software that supports a computer's basic functions, such as scheduling tasks, executing applications, and controlling peripherals.

Blockchain:
- A decentralized and distributed digital ledger that is used to record transactions across many computers so that the record cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks and the collusion of the network.
If that were the norm we'd have much shorter lifespans.

> You can hire lots of humans to work at a normal pace and give them psychological counseling, and spend so much on their salaries that you'll go out of business, and even then they won't catch everything and will be frequently accused of bias.

Then you should not fucking be in the business at all! What FB does is externalizing the cost onto societies and skimming the profit!

Cost here being two things: first the cost of mentally fucking up the moderators (so an extensive amount of psychological healthcare has to be shouldered by society) and second the cost to society that arises from letting Nazis and jihadists spread their propaganda (including the cost from real-world violence enabled by said propaganda).
They do have legal services at their disposal. It may not be in house, but at least they're somewhat prepared for it.
No, the absence of a proper mechanism is akin to homeopathy. Pointing the absence of a proper mechanism sounds like common sense.

All public articles are approved by government public affairs officers trained in the rules and regulations of DoD and Army PR dos and don'ts so if it is live it is legitimate, they can be reviewed here: http://www.asaie.army.mil/Public/IE/Toolbox/documents/r360_1.... If there is an issue with the article you can report it here: https://www.army.mil/info/institution/publicAffairs/ or https://www.army.mil/contact

The Army does actually do polls that soldiers fill out through one of the many internal Army Enterprise Systems like most of the other DoD Military components. Also with the amount of engineering and research that PEO-Solider does it is very likely what you see is very true from the article.

The satire that you detect is more then likely the Army trying to appeal to their larger younger enlisted/officer base. As the people doing the bulk of the articles are new enlisted/officer soldiers.
I saw that too, but it doesn't make a difference.
> the compiler proved a data race happened

It's the reverse: the compiler can (trivially, in the absence of atomic operations), that data races haven't happend and and optimise accordingly.
I definitely do this and it is not helping.
As I said it was a long time ago and I did not really play it myself - so you are probably right if you say it was not really CLI... but I am sure it was Uplink (and thanks for the reference to the other game)
The proposition is that free, instant transfers are so awesome that people will voluntarily run nodes.

Ask yourself questions about structure, purpose and functions of parts you have spotted in anything in your daily life until you find out that your partner has a hidden "mute" button, that you just never knew existed and become excited about the value of analytical thinking.
There is a joke about Americans (which I extend to "most people", and definitely to most technical people I know): if one is to stop being stimulated from outside, then one runs the very real risk of having to consider what is inside. I tend to consider the cavalier American use of painkillers to be in that "stimulated from outside" bucket--and I try very hard to be unafraid of considering what might be inside.

I already don't watch TV when I feel poorly (or in general). I might work--usually on something that I care about, so as to make me feel good that I have done it. Or I might read. If circumstances are uncomfortable enough that concentrating is difficult, then I know I need to sleep. If sleep is very difficult--not merely difficult--due to pain, then sure, then painkillers are on the table for me. Otherwise, why would I try to change how I feel externally?

Painkillers do not change the underlying state. If it is something you literally cannot bear, then sure, get some help. But I have learned over time that the world includes discomfort and pain and that they're really not that bad, most of the time. The world around me includes me. And it includes the need to be mindful about me, too. This is part of that.
Technically C11 uses the C++11 memory model. It was originally developed as part of the C++ standardization effort.

We love perceived insiders, and are vicious to perceived outsiders.

And the size of the first group is somewhere around 150, the number of distinct individuals we can track mentally.
> The gleeful tone of the article makes me uncomfortable. This is an artifact of a crime against humanity.

It's possible to be excited about the discovery of the artifact without being an apologist for the crime it was associated with.
It's not just the ANPR though - according to the PDF there is surveillance of tyre pressure sensors, RFID tags in the tyres, toll passes (even when not at a toll).
yeah, this is really interesting, and something that, as far as I can tell, most companies aren't so interested in. I remember one place I worked with many thousands of computers, during burn-in, they's re-write every sector of disks, and would only fail the disk if it couldn't reallocate all sectors three passes in a row.

Which seemed crazy to me, because the disks were used in non-redundant configurations... if there were read errors on those disks, it would cause actual data corruption, and eventually caused servers several steps up the line to crash and set my pager off, which is how i found out about it.

That's the hard part of infrastructure as code; a lot of programmers don't understand (or don't think about?) what it means to have a failure. In this case, running the disks non-redundantly was reasonable; the system would have dealt just fine with the whole server falling over... but because it "recovered" the error, the error was propagated all the way up to my goddamn pager. (Infernal pager? sisyphean pager? that job had the most active pager I've worn in 20 or so odd years of wearing pagers.)
Yeah, American has trickle down economics :)
It is not true to say that we have "no idea" how the brain works.
It's worth mentioning that "quantum theory" has no implications for consciousness, especially given the headline proclaiming the opposite. There are plenty of interpretations that don't involve consciousness at all - and hopefully my use of the word interpretation clues you in to the fact that this is isn't really a physics question.

Weird philosophy aside, this does look like a good explanation of the Bell inequality.
You would be surprised. I've issued chargebacks before after offering every chance for an issue to be resolved with major firms (over the phone) and within 10 minutes of making a chargeback I got a call from the head office offering all sorts of things to remedy the issue. It doesn't take many chargebacks for a provider to can even very large accounts.
In my experience the readers are not that good and you really don't need to intentionally do anything to the plate in order for it to be unreadable. Normal wear and tear is enough at least for the front plate (ie. damage from road gravel, otherwise uninteresting collisions with various obstacles while parking and so on).
bottled juice drinks had silica on the ingredients list, to give the appearance of having some sediment

Are you sure it isn't used for the opposite reason? Silicon Dioxide (silica) can be used as a suspending agent, so seems like it may have been added to prevent the natural sediment from collecting at the bottom.
It makes me so sad that we are employing people (for very little money) to harm themselves psychologically. This isn’t good for anyone, this is a case where machine learning is compulsory.

We as a society have decided to hide the terrible aspects of our culture instead of deal with it. It’s why we have public and private schools, it’s why we give homeless people bus tickets out of our cities. We want to take the easy road and push our problems out of sight and out of mind.

I’m not saying I have an answer but the problem of Hiding from things that disturb us can’t be a long term solution.
No, just preface into their intended functions.

Edit: One might question what the ledger tracks in terms of operating toward user needs as opposed to financial activity.
I think the author did a very good job of describing message-based architecture's benefits and the options available.

I've been a huge fan of message-based architecture for years yet there was still a number of things for me to learn from this.

An example is "a message should be self-describing". Its something I instinctively do, but if asked about I'd never mention.

Good piece. Thanks for sharing!
It is not mentioned in the PDF but nowadays it seems that collecting wifi and bluetooth addresses advertised by passing cars is quite common and popular.
Ask HN: What is up with the Uber navigation app recently? It's gotten terrible
I live in the Bay Area (Oakland) and for the past few weeks, every Uber ride I've taken the drivers have complained about the navigation app. Some say that they want to use the Google Maps app, or Waze, but that Uber has told them they cannot. What the hell app are they using?

Every driver has told me of numerous issues, riders not being where they're supposed to be, "Navigation Unavailable" errors. I've had to call numerous drivers to tell them where I actually am. Some drivers complain about a recent "update".

It seems to be a recent issue. Uber engineers, what is going?

Nice read. One thing I would definitely want to have in my hand is a hardware cryptocurrency wallet, but that'll require power source and some interaction interface.

However, existing microchip implants can be used to increase security level for some apps/wallets. For example, you may have an app that require not only password, but also your NFC tag to read (concat both, for example). If hackers steal your password, they won't be able to login without reading NFC, and vice versa, if your NFC content is leaked, they still need password.

Any online open forum would have the same problems no matter how hard they tried to prevent it. We can either accept that some level of hate speech is inevitably going to slip past the moderators, or we can give up on having open forums altogether. There is no perfect world with perfect moderation of online content.

I wish Facebook had the courage to say this themselves.
The study I posted shows there is a reduced risk of death from vaccination in the current year. I couldn't find anything about risk of death in future. Is that really a problem if you take the vaccine every year? Do you have a reference?
Weird that they so often write "screen" when they mean "social media". My eyes were glued to screens growing up. TV, PC, GameBoy, consoles. But his is only happening now.

It might be other way around. People with common cold become more social (virus makes them like that to spread) so they suffer more from loneliness.
The parent already pointed out that in a 2010 interview he expressed his unchanged admiration for Endghal. And he was also later show to have remained friends with him well into the 50s, exchanging correspondence and kind regards, a further misrepresentation of the length and character of their friendship.

The 1988 “apology” was obviously just PR.

The wearable computer discussed in the article is preserved in the MIT museum. See photo in [1]. Shannon was well known for eccentric pursuits such as juggling and making game machines. I collected a list of the latter at the gaming site BoardGameGeek [2].

I REALLY don't understand that trope; IKEA furniture is so crazy easy to build. The directions are always precise with no ambiguity, without using any words.
You didn't read very far, maybe:

> With the nation edging closer to civil war over the slavery issue, Alabama steamboat captain and plantation owner Timothy Meaher made an infamous bet that he could sneak slaves into the country, right under the noses of federal troops at the twin forts that guarded the mouth of Mobile Bay. Historian Sylvianne Diouf traced the evolution of the wicked scheme and the resulting journey in her excellent book, Dreams of Africa in Alabama, published in 2007. Attempts to contact Diouf were unsuccessful.

The author is clearly excited about the find (and should be, after spending years working on it), but there's nothing in the article to indicate that he's excited about slavery.
I had a wisdom teeth removed and was given basically nothing, besides the anesthetic injection needed for me not to feel pain during the procedure.

Please note that my wisdom tooth was about 80-90% developed and outside the gum, so no "surgery" was required, just some lever movement to pull it out. Also, no stitches were needed.

I was sent home with just an advice to eat non-solid, cold stuff "using the other side of the mouth".

Quite frankly, everything went okay. It was weird feeling that hole in my mouth, but it eventually filled itself.
Both of them (Acetaminophen is the US name for Paracetamol) are highly dangerous, even in small dosages. Paracetamol poisoning can kill within a day, and the lethal dosage is equivalent to about 20 pills. Ibuprofen is proven to cause heart attacks & stroke.

Your suggestion is the perfect example of why over the counter drugs as so dangerous: a Dr or a pharmacist is aware of the dangers, that we (being the public) may not know about, and should not dispense those without taking them into account.

The problem is you can't make over the counter drugs illegal in the US, not only because of the medical-industrial complex lobbying, but also because of the cost of getting a Rx. Had the US had a public health system…
Writing Code That Reads Like a Story
I think you're confusing some sort of emotional pain which may deserve analysis with physical pain which analysis cannot bring any insights from - it's just pain. Nothing revolutionary.
It certainly is. My perspective is that of a victim, not an apologist.
Ask HN: How do you plan your travel?
I've started a google sheet to track interesting places, but it seems a little rudimentary. How does everyone tracks flight prices/desirable cities/activities? Any google sheets to share?
Exactly. I would think that someone who dismisses the significance of the discovery could be thought of as being an apologist for the crime it was associated with.
Okay, I’ll bite. You are not a victim.
The article seems to be behind a registration wall - are you able to provide a summary?

Also, do you know if this is a widely held position or just emerging?

I found a couple of things, but none of them are as clear cut as "it's okay to stop antibiotics early".

Before I even started reading, I knew it was going to be an attack at the phone. A few centuries ago, they'd attack books. Look back at videos from the 1950s and people didn't talk to each other on the train back then either, their noses were in books, magazines and newspapers. By the 80s, the nerdy kids had headphones and cassette players. By the 90s, people had discmans.

The trouble with articles like this is they don't explore the other factors. Maybe the simply access to information makes kids more nihilistic. And nihilism isn't a bad thing. The universe is absurd, we have no meaning except what we give to ourselves (through religion or belief of whatever). Maybe kids are just realizing this, and it has nothing to do with technology? Maybe they're realizing that because of technology.

Maybe they see a wold that's yelling at them, calling them entitled, where they know they'll be in more debt and less paid than any other generation before them. Maybe it's just the pure knowledge of our place as cogs in the gears.

There are tons of factors for where we are today. The income gap is getting wider, parents are struggling to give their kids a good standard of living. Many parents can't pay for their kids educations like the previous generation could because it's getting too expensive.

The article says "every region in the country." Are they just looking at the US? If you didn't find similar numbers in Europe, where they have the same access to cellphones and technology, they you have to address the other issues such as health care, better pubic welfare, freedom of transportation and high standards of living.
