I have never really understood the extend to which people take troll comments seriously. It just seems no more than a bit annoying to me, to start reading a comment and find out halfway through it's just a bunch of insults with no real content. I won't let a few wasted seconds make my day worse than it would otherwise have been. Why do people get so invested in what others say online? Don't they realize it's nothing more than a cheap attempt to get some attention?

EDIT: Note that I am not talking about anything that actually incites violence. There's a big difference between "I hope X gets shot" and "Here's Xs address, let's all meet up at their house and actually shoot them". The latter is (rightfully) illegal in most places anyway.
> That's not correct. It has been adopted by all major distros due to ease of use and maintaibility of unit files.

Or rather, because unit files work the same across all systemd-using distros, they can actually be upstreamed to the application developers and distros just package them, which is a huge time-saver compared to having to maintain init scripts for hundreds of daemons.

You obviously didn't read the article before deciding this wasn't systemd's fault.

The bug is the lack of any error handling in the DynamicUser feature of systemd. The original failure is not logged anywhere - and launching timesyncd just goes ahead even though the setup for it fails completely. Naturally timesyncd then fails to start.

(Or perhaps the bug is the whole DynamicUser feature. From reading the bug report, it looks like it will fail any time anyone has a user-only FUSE mount point on their system...)
> Banks provide an API in Europe. In fact it's a legal requirement that's coming into force in 2019

That's simply not true. You're probably referring to PSD2, which is not an API in the sense that anyone technical would use the term. And it's not meant for you or I. The requirements for gaining PSD2 API access are insane, and at least in some areas require permission from the national bank. Which you won't get unless you're a large corp with big bucks and lots of insurance.

> 'doing something about it' on a personal level means sacrificing luxuries

But that's just not true, that's the line of the denialists. Doing something about it means reducing the carbon output by taxing those who produce it. The move can be fiscally neutral, i.e no net revenue for the government by decreasing other taxes.

We have the technological means to reach a 4t/year-person emission level without sacrificing quality of life. That's a sustainable global level the planet can accept. In 15-20 years we can roll that technology out globally and stem global climate change by 2050.

The problem we have is a political one: countries, political establishments, incumbent industry and whole constituencies are dependent on carbon emissions and would be drastically disadvantaged by such a move, hence they are fighting against it tooth and nail.

We can do something about this at government level, and especially with many governments working together.

Individuals can just make their own lives poorer with nothing to show for it.

Governments are for large scale action where individual action is meaningless -- the army, protection against national disasters like floods, and action against global warming.

Unfortunately the government of the largest polluter is hopelessly corrupt.

Their own "allow tracking" popup is also "illegal", it defaults to allow.

I've seen a bunch of similar articles, and it's the lawyer approach to GDPR and data protection in general. They attack the problem from the angle that you want to continue doing what you've always been doing, while staying within the law. What's the same approach sites that just block the EU has opted for, they don't particularly care to reevaluate their usage of their users data.
There's a few companies -- NYT, The Economist, WashPo -- that I pay for, and then spend time bypassing their paywalls, because their implementations are so irritating.

Alright, they could have been fined for not reporting breach - yeah.

> Well, my general impression is that doctors live under this illusion that patients will somehow succeed in making lifestyle changes that will cause the disease to go into regression or disappear altogether.

Well in the last 3 months, I DID learn new eating habits, lost 15 kilos and had my meds cut from 6.5 tablets per day to 0.5 tablets a day working with a doctor and having good control on blood sugar. The big AHA is that progressive changes have to be made in how you eat rather than necessarily so much in what you eat.

In general, unless you have significant beta cell death already, it IS possible to mitigate or reverse effects of type 2 diabetes and this is vastly preferable to pushing organs beyond limits through drugs or insulin.

Systemd is the light that people don't want to look at and embrace, heh?

What I see is a an appalling amount of arrogance that comes with the "I'll solve all your current and future problems".

Systemd actually doesn't and in fact can't do what it pretends. The evidence is in the never ending list of posts like these that pop up all the time.
And the arrogance of pretending to be the top of the init.d hierarchy of init scripts is not sustained by the competence of actually fixing the problems that people keep reporting.

There is a reason for the existence of the systemd opposition, and is similar to the opposition you find in any field where the top of the hierarchy is abusively taken by force instead of by competence. This in fact will be the reason for systemd downfall and I'm confident to say that it will take with it everything that sustained it in it's position.

Just a note - and I am sorry to derail this conversation - but in my experience, Non-Japanese residents do not have to be outsiders in Japan.

The people who raise that point the most, in my experience, are English teachers who don't speak Japanese, or have had some kind of privileged background. I wasn't part of either in North America; at this point, I would be hard pressed to point at too many things that are particularly different for me and my Japanese co-workers.

If you do speak Japanese and have the desire to be a part of the community, you can be part of non-political society. I know plenty of non-Japanese who can participate in everything (except for voting, which is admittedly a big thing).

Some people point to police harassment (and I have experienced it), but I have seen Japanese people pulled over to have their bags searched and their cycle registration checked. It's a different norm.

That's not to say it is a great thing to be active in Japanese society. Being part of the PTA is a pain in the rear. There is plenty of meaningless inefficiency in "group activities". Everyone takes the same days off and you need to book together time months in advance. But if you want to be in the in-circle, and want to be part of traditional celebrations, you can. (Especially in Tokyo)

On the other hand, as a non-Christian who worked for a company in Salt Lake City, I doubt I could be a part of society there in the same way that I am here. I really liked my co-workers in Provo, more than even my co-workers at some companies in Japan. They were interesting and fun to be around, even when we had different political beliefs.

However, I doubt I could ever be a close friend to any of them because they had beliefs I didn't share, and couldn't share.

It's not like Japan (or Tokyo at least); if you are decent enough at the language, you can slip into groups and be a normal member of society.
Stephen Hawking's contribution, vast and profound as it was, wasn't specifically to computer science.

The use of the black bar seems to be determined by the moderators based on who has had a profound influence on themselves and other more active members of the HN community.

When it happens, I learn something interesting or valuable about that person's contribution to the field, in a way that I possibly wouldn't if it weren't for the black bar.

It's an important and useful community custom, yet debating its use (and protesting that some other person didn't get it) happens every time and always detracts from an otherwise congenial discussion thread. As much as it seems necessary, it really isn't the case that someone always has to be that person. Please just let it go.

I don't believe the proposition that parties in Europe have their priorities decided in a bottom-up manner.

I don't think that fear and anxiety are exactly the same thing. (fear being a very basic response to a very concrete (perceived) threat, while anxiety is more diffuse, constant, covering larger timeframes)

Assuming we are talking about the same thing (anxiety), why do you think that not everyone suffering from OCD has that as the cause? What other types do you know of?
It is possible that I was focusing too much on intrusive thoughts and related issue, but my current understanding is that the OCD mechanism described above is the same for any type of OCD and that it is by definition an anxiety disorder.

The discomfort you are describing could be the same thing as the anxiety I was speaking of, although discomfort is maybe not intense enough to describe the internal experience of the disorder.

As always: these things are distributed on a spectrum with better/worse days and cases between people. It only becomes a disorder if you suffer from it on a regular basis in some phase of your life.

That’s totally fine under HN guidelines.
This is mainly because of the total cost. Pills and (minor) insulin intake is usually sufficient, especially if combined with some minor lifestyle changes. Big changes can probably delay the requirement of most medication if detected early. But most people go to doctors way too late if it's not free and thus causes more damages in the end.

This is simply a cost question. In countries where the healthcare gives out the required pumps/injectors and medication for 'free', it is usually a cost/benefit tradeoff.

On the other hand: Not providing proper insulin dispensers costs a lot more in the end. The world has moved from simple throw away injectors (i mean the ones with no proper dosage dispensers and bottles as a storage medium) for years and the benefits far outweigh the cost of relatively simple modern injectors or pumps.

Azolla (water fern / mosquito fern).

In fact, using Azolla as rice companion plant is a long-standing practice in China: after flooding, rice paddies are seeded with Azolla, it multiplies (very) rapidly covering the surface and suppressing weeds (Azolla mats are very dense so water weeds get little to no sun) then releases nitrogen for the rice plants when it dies and rots.
This is a terrible idea, for the following reason:

If this was the case, engaging in conversation about controversial topics would be "dangerous", as there's always a chance to say something mostly reasonable that a large group of people just doesn't like, thus getting downvoted a lot. Usually this just shows you that those people didn't like what you wrote, so you will just learn to be more diplomatic about stuff.

If, however, a single misjudgement of the situation can get your rating far below 0 pretty much overnight, without even giving you time to clarify if you think your opinion is being extrapolated to a far more extreme position than what you actually wanted to express. And this goes for both sides of the political spectrum. Even someone who accidentally stumbles into a conversation between extremists could get downvoted for speaking out against that extremism.

Right, but how do you do this at home?

Extreme hygiene isn't good for your immune system. With exposure, you build up a higher tolerance. If I use too much soap, I get acne. Hygiene is ultimately a balance. There's no such thing as clean or dirty. Those are made up extreme definitions in our head to act upon. However it is a spectrum, an equilibrium. And if you kill all your good bacteria and remove all your sebum you damage that ecosystem.

To tackle OCD, you need to get to the root of the problem first. Understand why it is happening (stress/anxiety related but how exactly?). As with any personality disorder this is best done under the guidance of a professional.

Example though: if I sit in public transport, I frequently check if I got my wallet, phone, keys, etc. but there's a very good reason for that. Mugging is high in Amsterdam, and I tend to lose things. But sometimes I check too often, and then I tell myself I'm overreacting. I can also very much recommend mindfulness. I do guided sessions in public transport and it makes me calm when I arrive at my destination. To be fair, I don't have OCD; I have autism. My partner as well, and she's way more anal about hygiene, sometimes getting close to OCD-esque symptoms. I got something similar with using keys to close doors but again there's a very good reason for that. I've had my key in my door (external) for a night, I've left my door open for a night, I left my bicycle with key on street, I lost my keys multiple times, and I've forgot to lock my doors countless of times.

BTW, those build-in airdryers? They blow bacteria through the air, on your clean hands. More dirty than a paper towel you throw away afterwards (and either isn't dangerous).

I'm also seeing a need for a systemd-free minimal O/S for container (not container host) roles.
