It doesn't matter how much karma someone has. A repost is a repost, and it's ok to point it out.
Why would it violate rules?
Ya, please just use the real words.

I recall one "creative" biochemistry professor that was always using clever invented words and analogies. So I had to learn his bullshit and then the real word as well which made it twice as hard.
I wasn't aware that HP and companies that manufactured servers and PCs purchased directly from the fabs. You can buy server class CPUs from AMD, can you get them direct from TSMC?
Sure, they're both IV abusable, but my point was that for the patients that are still addicted to opioids the more immediate dissolve of the patented formulation would make it more preferable to subutex for providers, simply because they know that a patient couldn't take the tablet out of their mouth since it would have dissolved immediately. It's those patients we're trying to get back on track with something better, not the patients we know are able to manage on take-home regimens.

> the naltrexone does nothing compared to how strongly bupe itself binds to your receptors.

What? First of all, it's naloxone rather than naltrexone that is found in suboxone. Subutex doesn't have either of them. And secondly, it's very, VERY well known that naloxone/naltrexone have far more binding affinity to the mu-opioid receptor (the type that we think causes euphoria/analgesia) compared to any sort of opioid we have on the market (maybe not sufentanyl, but even that I'm fairly certain is weaker affinity). That's exactly why we can use Narcan effectively to combat opioid overdose.
Yes, it does. Search for “Correllium”.
Personally, I'm going to sign into both anyway. One less thing to sign into saves me time. That makes me happy. I dunno if I'm in the minority or not. But, it's a feature that at least some people find useful, so, I think branding it spyware is unjustified. It's not like it's a keylogger sending my data to who knows where which no reasonable person could ever find useful.
Hey, yeah - these are them! Thankyou very kindly, lelandbately.
That’s very cool! Thank you for pointing out the counterexample.

AirPods are an amazing feat of technology. Incredibly tiny, easy to use, and they sound great. They almost never cut out for me (a problem many Bluetooth devices are supposed to have).

There was nothing close to them on the market when they came out. You either had to have terrible battery life, much larger headphones, or pay a TON more money.

I’m with you on the camera. If Apple made a camera I’d buy it in a heartbeat. The responsiveness and quality they can get out of that ridiculously tiny sensor is extremely impressive. Imagine what they could do with an APS-C or Micro 4/3s.

You already mentioned some of their other amazing tech like Face ID. The role they’ve been on with the A-series chips since they started taking the designs in house has also been pretty incredible.
congrats on the worst take on HN
>What should be its "own independent program"? Where do we draw that line? Why should we be constrained to our own offline system, when the web enables millions of (more) user-friendly use-cases?

I'm an edge case, but nearly everything. I prefer to not only "own" the program so that I may use it beyond the lifespan of the creator or hosting company supports it but I also prefer to own my files (cloud storage is prohibitively expensive for me). At $0.02 per GB per month I would be spending in excess of >$4,000/yr - and that's just my photos. It would be in excess of $10,000/yr if I also wanted to store videos.

For me to move into an "online, cloud-based software" world online storage would have to be price competitive with purchasing my own local storage for the TB's of data I have and the software would have to be fast enough to work on the files and work with whichever cloud storage I was using. (Let's also pretend that internet is always-present and always-fast-enough.)

On the note of expensive cloud storage... non-affiliated shout-out to Backblaze. I'm probably a borderline "abusive user", $5/mo is an absolute steal to backup the huge amount of data I backup with them.
What I don't see anyone actually asking is who was behind the breach given the sophistication of the attack and the measures they went to to avoid detection. This wasn't the case of a database just sitting in the open that they could access.

> a topic which in this era is more likely to be met with scoffs of “good riddance” rather than alarm bells.

I'm not sure about that. The Internet "manosphere" (for lack of a better term; consider it the all-encompassing phrase for both harmless and not-so-harmless subcultures like weightlifting, PUA, redpillers, the alt-right, etc.) seems more obsessed with masculinity than anyone I can recall seeing in previous decades. "Plastics in the water are destroying men" has been a ha-ha-only-serious topic in those circles for a while now and this will only solidify it. For better or worse, there are enough people concerned about this stuff that I doubt it will get handwaved away.
The chart of sperm count vs plastic production is pure BS. It shows nothing but a lack of journalistic integrity.
Yes. This is why people put so much effort into projects like Valgrind [1] and american fuzzy lop [2]. Preserving portability by keeping the same language and trying to find as many bugs as possible using clever tooling.

> If everyone is sociopathic, everyone is worse off.

In the world of sticks, stones and endurance hunting from which humanity evolved ... this would be true.

But recent centuries' economic artifices have made a mockery of it; insofar as being "pro-social" has ceased to be necessary to produce generally-valuable things nor to trade the generally-valuable things for a specific basket of things that are valuable for one's survival.

Generally, modern technology and economics have changed humanity's environment much faster than we can evolve to adapt to it; otherwise, (for example) either Coca-Cola wouldn't be addictively successful, or our brains and bodies would be less stingy with energy (and therefore better in myriad ways).

ProfStef is alright, but I found all the Smalltalk books on the Pharo website as well as a different site that Stefane Duccasse hosts which has old, but mostly relevant books to be more helpful.

Pharo is really cool, but most of my coding use cases is either in scripting (Powershell, Bash, and Python generally make more sense here) or numerical programming (numpy works here and starting to look at Julia...I know there is a numerical methods book written in Pharo, but the ecosystem just isn't there).

Hopefully I'll get a chance to use it in the future.
It's about the control you can have. You can gradually add in annotations without having to rewrite the whole program as well as being able to selectively check buffer-overflows (i.e. checking everything vs checking code regions that you don't have security guarantee but would like to have). Additionally they also have features that allows you check overflow statically on limited cases.

> I am routinely met with open hostility from self proclaimed trans activists, feminists, etc.

Hostility towards what? I assume they attack a view you hold, rather than your being a stay-at-home mother.
> What? First of all, it's naloxone rather than naltrexone that is found in suboxone. Subutex doesn't have either of them.

I always get them mixed up, but it really isn't changing my point. And yes, no kidding, you brought up Suboxone as well as Subutex which is why I'm discussing it! I'd really prefer if you read my comments with a little more charity. Anyway, it doesn't appear as if you're listening to my point here, and that's okay :) Have a good day
There are actually well over 100 studies on this from different regions and periods. Google scholar can help.
The language in this article glosses over serious faults in Singaporean society, which I have had plenty of exposure to.

Firstly, as the article says, SG divides "high achievers" from "low achievers" at a pretty early age and enforces a social stereotype that the low achieveres who attend polytechnic schools are somehow dumb. This is needless segregation. Just offer everyone the same tests and let them choose their specializations.

Secondly, and this is anecdotal, SG produces workerbees who are content to follow orders and processes rather than make their own. The government gives them free money (called a "bond") to go study abroad and then come back and perform 6 years of government labor as a middle-manager. Singaporean students typically study hard, but in their new social surroundings, quickly binge on drugs and alcohol and etc, even more so than Americans binge.

Thirdly, Singaporeans treat ethnic Malays as non-citizens. The Han Chinese of SG are thoroughly content to see Malaysians attending "religious school" as if this were some great freedom. In reality, they are happy to prevent the Malays from becoming as successful as the 70% Chinese population.
Yeah, Void makes for great for inductive definitions ;)
Yup. My company has a license/support contract for Spring Boot (among many many other things).
There was an episode of Stargate where an alien race reduces human fertility by 98%. They do some shenanigans with time travel to tell themselves to not contact that world in order to prevent it.

I feel like I have a similar problem here in the DC area particularly as an engineer. All the meet ups and activities around here I find not fulfilling enough, and have a disconnect with actually wanting to pull through.

Is this coming to my area? Or could you possibly show me how this works with a small demo or something so I can maybe help do something similar around here?
Reading is basically about decoding the message. Merely skimming through can give you the information but not the deeper knowledge that a text contains. Therefore, you need to first of all accept the fact that reading is a much more serious exercise than most people would like to concede.
Secondly, reading for deeper meaning and retention and quantitative assessment of how many pages you read don't go hand in hand. Reading is qualitative. You may read less and yet develop a profound understanding. Therefore, you should focus on reading smaller quantities and spend more time with a given text for reading and re-readings.
Thirdly, ideas are correlated across a text. Good writers develop paragraphs which are in continuation of one another. So if you don't take into consideration how these paragraphs are developed and ideas are inter-related across the text, you will miss the core message of the text.

All said and done, in this fast-paced world, you need to spend more time with a given text and reflect over the different ideas expressed and see if there are deeper nuances somewhere, without worrying about how many pages you read in a day.

Reading is supposed to be slow process. Reading for pleasure and information has diluted the profundity that reading once epitomized.
One difference is that the amount of starting capital matters. Say someone tells you that you can spend a million dollars for a 1% chance at a trillion dollars. That makes perfect sense for Apple, but I’d question your judgement if you throw your life savings into that gamble. That’s because the value of a marginal dollar is worth a lot less when you already have a lot of money. To see another example, consider the value that Bill Gates gets from having an extra $100,000 (essentially none) versus a homeless person (life changing).

Are you of the opinion that Trump is not an ignorant orange muppet?

If one were to use words like "peurile" and "petulant" to describe the president, perhaps the same message could be more acceptably communicated?

Disclaimer: I totally get where you are coming from, and I realize I'm kind of being an ass with this comment. I myself oscillate on this issue of determining reasonable and productive language. And I think, in general, you are correct about what is appropriate for HN. I must say, though, that lately my patience for our dear leader wears very thin...

It feels more and more as if his antics represent a dramatic paradigm shift with unknown consequences. I'm often at a loss at what to think of it all.
People will abuse anything that helps to numb painful emotions. Demonizing the drug isn't helpful; if you get rid of one, people will lean on something else. The solution to drug addiction is very simple: give people better ways of dealing with their emotional pain. Of course, actually accomplishing that is the hard part.

My personal belief is that we need a two-fold attack:

1) Harm reduction: provide people with less harmful emotional anesthetics (like Kratom)

2) Fix the underlying problem: provide people with better mental health care, better coping strategies, more community and more human connection.

Most people agree that #2 is needed, but #1 is controversial. I think that we should treat emotional injuries like physical injuries. When someone breaks their leg and they ask for painkillers, we don't tell them "sorry, but you know that painkillers aren't going to help you heal any faster."

Sometimes people need palliative treatments, but we're unwilling to provide these when it comes to psychological pain. As far as I can tell, this unwillingness is based entirely on an aphoristic assumption: "if you want to heal it, you have to feel it." Okay, great, but where's the science? Where's the research? Do you have to feel it completely to heal it, or can you take a drug that helps you feel it a bit less? What's the exact relationship between experiencing distress and healing that distress? We can't allow slogans to guide the treatment of psychological trauma.
If you’re curious about it and free to do so, you could send it to me and I could run it though a disassembler.
For basic load/munge/save stuff (like CSV processing) the C standard library more than suffices, and is cross-platform. You don't need OS-dependent stuff (like POSIX) to do that.

(I'm not arguing C vs. Rust though... just pointing out that "cross-platform" is a much more meaningful descriptor for a CLI tool than "in Rust". The latter just reads like noise to me.)
Also known as the `absurd` function IIRC?
I share the author’s concerns for off grid power use. 3 watts per drive (I assume a wall wart for a 3.5” drive) works out to 72watt hours per day. About 1/10th of a $200 solar panel. Double or triple that to cover batteries and electronics. Then you run into discontinuities in system sizing where you can’t easily add just one more panel. Conserving energy suddenly makes a lot of sense.

USB hubs with per port power control are the flying unicorn of hardware. Once in a while some vendor slips up and makes one, but by the time people figure it out the vendor has ended the model or replaced it with a different model under the same model number. It’s especially frustrating because many of the USB hub chipsets support the feature, but only if the manufacturer puts a switching transistor on each port. It literally would only cost pennies per port to have the feature.
It will also change the climate as the largest effect on climate is how the ocean currents move around the globe and where they hit continents.

Things I'd like to ask the author:

The problem has only gotten worse in the last 3 years, from what I've seen. Has the adtech industry gotten larger in the meantime? Has their surveillance technologies delivered on their promises? Do you still think the adtech industry will implode?
I agree with all your points, but I always hesitate to predict these things. The world is moving to touch and the desktop is dying.

These guys don't care what you look like or smell like. They only care whether you will do the work and show up sober. Given than OP doesn't want to do manual labor and his sobriety is unclear (he mentions "more bad decisions"), I'm not so sure.

Like others have mentioned, this is a stepping stone job. I mentioned in my post that I, too, had a rough time as a kid and young guy. I failed out of Vanderbilt after my first year and had to take a job assembling trophies to get back on my feet. Believe me, it doesn't feel good to go from playing frisbee on Alumni Lawn to being back home in my crappy town, making $4.25/hr screwing nuts onto threaded rods for eight hours a day alongside people who never even went to high school. It was humbling but it paid the rent on my shitty apartment and paid for my dialup internet connection, which led to my first tech job at an ISP in 1994. It's been pretty amazing since then.

Oh, lots of different things. As best I can tell, the hostility is towards me personally, not a specific view per se.

I've been accused on HN of being transphobic for attempting to speak about women's issues. I don't really care to dig up a whole lot of examples to convince skeptics. I was homeless for nearly 6 years and only asking for help with trying to figure out how to make money online. I got damn little support and was actively dismissed, especially on a different forum that likes to imagine it is female friendly. I don't think it really is.

Anyway, those painful experiences made it quite clear to me that a lot of people literally would like to see me dead. I'm aware that callous indifference isn't something most people will take seriously as a form of attempted murder, so I don't actually want to talk about this. Additional hostile dismissal of my opinions of my experiences won't change my opinions and, ironically, are unlikely to be seen as supporting evidence for my point.
It is an issue for clearance. You can get by with admitting to past youthful indiscretions during the background investigation but you absolutely can't actively violate federal law and keep a security clearance.

It is still unclear how the virus is transmitted from camels to humans. The World Health Organization advises avoiding contact with camels and to eat only fully cooked camel meat, pasteurized camel milk, and to avoid drinking camel urine. Camel urine is considered a medicine for various illnesses in the Middle East.[19] The Saudi Ministry of Agriculture has advised people to avoid contact with camels or wear breathing masks when around them.[20] In response "some people have refused to listen to the government's advice"[21] and kiss their camels in defiance of their government's advice.

Clearance is about being compromised. Do you think Musk would reveal state secrets in exchange for weed? Do you think he would exchange state secrets to avoid the public finding out he smokes weed?

The agent who interviewed me said, "Are you the kind of person who speeds and owns up to it, or are you the kind of person who speeds and lies about it?" One of those is risky but generally acceptable.

I dunno. We're in a weird time. I can point to a few people that, i think, should not have clearances. But compartmentalization is a thing, perhaps those folks don't have a need to know the kinds of things i worry about.

My super casual, outside observer view is, the military might provide some facts and figures about payloads, but they're not saying this telescope can resolve .1mm from geosynchronous orbit. they're saying, it weighs this much and can withstand this much acceleration. There will likely be new revised policies on what's shared with spaceX about their payloads. But does anyone think Musk actions would lead him to be compromised?
Yeah, when people think their "better" language is better because it doesn't segfault, instead it has runtime errors. That's actually worse, as you can't catch errors at compile-time, while you can with C. C is not an issue, it just happens to be pretty damn popular and most crucial and widespread software is written in it, which are more likely to get the attention of "hackers", audits, etc.

I have gotten the worst kind of errors that an expert Python programmer hasn't for a decade, and I managed to do it in a few days of coding in it. Talk about "safety" and whatever. It doesn't matter what language it is, YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. CRASHES AND MEMORY ERRORS HAPPEN IN LANGUAGES OTHER THAN C AS WELL! I managed to get such "memory bugs" in "safe" languages, like Rust, without even using the "unsafe" directive, so yeah.
This is where we revive the debate about whether programming can be creative because it follows such rigid syntax rules. The unenlightened say it's not, and the obsessed say it is. How do we communicate across this gap?
That's what they call "anecdata" or N=1.
