Ask HN: Book recommendations for helping partner heal from child abuse
I am in a (platonic) relationship with someone who suffered abuse as a child.

We're slowly working through things together which is absolutely fantastic, but I feel woefully inadequate at counseling and also it's hard if not impossible to be truly objective.

I have offered to pay for therapy but he/she is reluctant to accept such an expensive gift. It's affordable for me on my programmer wages but impossible for someone in with no income and limited support from the welfare system.

We have a complicated relationship that flickers between me as a love interest and me as a (primary?) care giver - something I am fine with but he/she struggles with as it conjures feelings of inadequacy which I then have to quell.

Can anyone on HN help with book recommendations ? Anything that will help me empathize better, be a better listener, and deal with the emotional turmoil that happens on a semi regular basis.

DO NOT CLICK THE LINK! Hour later I am still unable to restart my phone. It hangs on logo!! This may be a permanent fuck ;( unsure exact version but I have iOS 7 that hasnt been updated in about six months.
Thanks for posting. I added it to my list. Will try it later if still runs.
The XS is 7.7mm thick, the SE 7.6mm. It's not a relevant question.

Were the new generation of phones thinner than the jack I'd have to concede you may have a point, but that is not what we're getting.

If the question becomes "would you like 0.2% more battery or a headphone jack?" I doubt many would vote to remove.
Ouch, I had no idea. Is this true of all of FAANG? :/
I think these sorts of cases of obfuscated code are outside the scope of refactoring tools. No one who’s looking to use a refactoring tool has to write or read code that uses eval or redefines True.

sure, But so far, that's not really how amazon operates; I mean, when I hook up my kindle I can actually copy most (maybe all? I haven't checked exhaustively) of the books off the kindle on to my computer, and then restore them back to the kindle later; even if amazon does delete the books off my kindle, if I put any effort into backups (which I don't, 'cause amazon removing a book is excessively rare) - I would still have the files. (how useful those would be would depend on the level of DRM applied to it, which I understand is controlled by the publisher and varies by book.)

That, and if you are giving up the convenience of the amazon ecosystem, why would you pay extra for books from amazon? The amazon kindle is one of the most expensive ways to get books, and the value proposition is that it's super easy and convenient, and sure, I'll pay extra for a super convenient book ecosystem. If you are willing to deal with inconveniences, there's much cheaper ways to do it. Hell, I think buying used physical copies and sending the book to the destructive book scan place is often cheaper than buying new (the only option) for the kindle.
If you disagree with that, it might be good to provide a bit more context than “shut up I know what I’m talking about”.

As far as I was aware, the comment you were responding to was broadly accurate, but now I don’t know and have no additional information.
This is a rhetoric that is being repeated and repeated, but the simplification renders it obsolete. In my opinion. What market is free? Who is your consumer? What about ((yet) unforseen?) externalities? We've come up with a lot more systems and are sticking with this "free" market one, but being technicians, we know that more often than not, not the "best" system endures.

It's just a different world.

You need cross-compiler support. Developers are spending much more time on compilers where the target is the same as the host architecture. Logically so! Compare GCC arm cross compiler to clang for example.

The system should be expressive enough to allow you to write function pointers to specific addresses in memory. For example if you have a binary radio stack, this might be a requirement (imho callbacks are better, but yeah). With the linker this is easy as is constraining heap, stack, etc. Where do you begin with the Python VM to do the same? It's just harder.

Support from the chipset manufacturer. If there is a HAL, it's in C. Good luck with a Rust crate pulled from somewhere random and keeping it all up to date.

Debuggers. GDB is pretty awesome in case you really need to know what's happening. You can't debug by just writing logs if you're working on the UART implementation for example. Setting breakpoints and analysing the stack is essential.

Design patterns are just different. I had a recent discussion about leaving out the destructors of a series of objects on a large mode switch (in a setup procedure) in exchange for writing the mode to FLASH, a device reset, and a few lines of startup code. The latter - the reset design paradigm - would come with a smaller binary. No management needed of all objects. A bit like rerendering the entire screen instead of only a part of it.

Hence, it's not just because people are "negative". It's really a best tool for the job kind of thing. The C (eventually C++) ecosystem is that tool.

Speakers are purely analog devices. The work on digital speakers has begun a century ago in 1920 and still hasn't yielded any usable consumer products. Moving the digital to analog converter into the speaker doesn't change anything. We will have analog speakers for at least another century.

Now if you were talking purely about the connector itself.
Whatever wireless technology was forced upon the population is not actually capable of replacing a wired connection.

* Bluetooth doesn't work in crowded environments.
* Standard Bluetooth sound quality is inferior without proprietary extensions to the protocol.
* Latency between device and headphone can be massive (500ms to 100ms),
* You have to recharge it.
* Devices have to be paired and sometimes "unpair" for no reason.

Bluetooth just sucks for audio. I'm sure there are hundreds of wireless technologies that are better than bluetooth, otherwise these proprietary extensions wouldn't exist.

You can in theory get <32ms latency with a special obscure subvariant of a proprietary standard of bluetooth (aka aptX LL) that no one has ever heard of for which you need a certain dongle and your headphone must support it. (hint your phone and headphones don't support it)
> the options for phones with headphone jacks and no crapware preinstalled are exceedingly limited.

A thousand times this. The current market for phones is absolute crap. We need more competition. (And we also need at least some of that competition to quit playing "follow the leader" when the "leader" is an imagined title, and the "leader" is clearly blind and thrashing...)
I don't think the OP suggested connetorising the headphone end as something the consumer should do, but rather as a suggestion to manufacturers. Many high-end headphones already have this, as it not only allows you to replace damaged cables easily, but also choose a cable length and type (straight or coiled?) that suits you. The ATH-M50x ships with three different cables, for example.

I'm pretty disgruntled about losing the 3.5mm jack, but I don't buy this idea that Apple did it to sell wireless Beats, for one reason: the product lineup sucks.

Apple knows how to make truly great audio hardware; the AirPods really are extraordinary. But the Beats lineup clearly hasn't received any serious attention, as evidenced by two things:

1) they still sell wireless hardware that doesn't have the W1 chip, two years after it was first released

2) for God's sake, all their devices charge over micro-USB!
I don't think anyone disagrees with the idea that oil is a limited resource and will become more rare and thus assuming continued demand, more expensive as time goes on? That's not what 'peak oil' was about.

Peak oil was this idea that both supply and demand were largely inelastic. In that case, when those curves crossed, you'd have the figurative unstoppable force and the immovable object; the price of oil would climb out of control, the economy would grind to a halt.

The primary thesis of 'peak oil' was that we couldn't extract more oil from the ground than we already were extracting. Through fracking and the exploitation of oil shale and oil sands... we did, in fact, extract more oil.

Turns out, the supply of oil is, to some extent, elastic. Yeah, we're going to run out some day, but with our current tech... it's starting to look like we might have trouble dealing with the atmospheric carbon output before we have serious trouble with the supply of hydrocarbons.

All money taken out of higher education?

That's the kind of idea that would only likely happen in the USA where education is looked down upon.

But I guess for the richest country in the world to be ranked around 30th in terms of education. A feedback look to make the country even more stupid could feasibly happen.

What about people going to university to be Doctors? Civil engineers? Architects?

Do they need educations? Or I guess in your world the only two professions are computer science and business.

> I hoped to see that the author dealt more directly with the address problem.

It's a hard problem, in part because you really need the state to address many of the problems with assuming fixed address. Instead of recognising the reality that people were people whether they had fixed address or not, the UK parliament decided to simply ban vagrancy [0]. Aspects of the act are still in force today.

> Is there no way to set up free post boxes with a fixed address for those that need them?

The currently governing party of the UK keeps parroting the line that "work is the best way out out of poverty" whilst passing laws and fostering policies that make that make life significantly harder for anybody homeless.

It's quite likely that the anti-"illegal"-immigration[1] "hostile environment" policy would view giving addresses to homeless people without proving their right to accommodation would result in the standard £10,000 fine per person the home office claims isn't here legally.

If an address was simply about receiving letters, then there is the Poste Restante service[2], which I only learnt of today. I suspect that few employers would accept that address and homeless people often don't have the proof of eligibility for work that they require.

What was once a universal healthcare system is actually no longer: In England, General Practitioners are required to write to patients and remove them from the register if they do not confirm receipt of the letter. This means being homeless without an address means emergency-only care, at least according to policy. [3]

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagrancy_Act_1824

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poste_restante#United_Kingdom

[2] It actually affected a lot of people who were here legitimately. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windrush_scandal

[3] There are actually out of hours services that will see you without a fixed address. There may also be some local clinics that reach out to homeless people, but this is not by any central policy and if certain newspapers covered this appalling abuse of hard-working taxpayer's money being potentially used for homeless illegal immigrants then it would be swiftly dealt with.

I did my first serious programming steps with BASIC on the C64 and the Amiga.

The (actually second) BASIC interpreter on the Amiga was made by Microsoft. It was great and horrible at the same time. Great because it had while-loops, labels instead of line numbers, and basic (no pun intended) support for the Amiga GUI, i.e you could open windows and create menus. Horrible because it was super slow and, for some reasons unknown to me, Microsoft had decided to not implement stack frames for subroutines. So, all local variables in subroutines were static and recursions were not allowed.

The weird thing: You still had to write the "STATIC" keyword although all subroutines were static anyway! (I assume the STATIC keyword was optional in the other Microsoft BASIC version and non-static subroutines were supported there)

> With a better understanding of the limits of human rationality (which is chief among other things) we can begin to unravel the original axioms and assumptions of the neoliberal era, the ones that basically treat humans merely as selfish, individualistic, perfectly-rational economic agents.

Your comment is the equivalent of saying astronomers need to consider models in which the planets rotate around the sun.

Just as one bit of evidence, we can ask if anyone has ever been awarded the Nobel Prize for studying the things you claim "economics barely touches on". If someone received a Nobel Prize, the field hasn't "barely touched on" it.

2017: Richard Thaler for behavioral economics. His entire career has been devoted to studying the limits of human rationality.

2013: Robert Shiller for his work showing financial markets are not efficient.

2002: Kahneman and Smith for using experiments to study the decision making process.

2001: George Akerlof, whose Nobel Lecture included "Behavioral Macroeconomics".

1978: Herbert Simon, the guy responsible for bounded rationality.

These are just a few names off the top of my head that won a Nobel Prize for work that you say economists aren't doing.
>Each farmer might be less happy than the average hunter gatherer, but the farmers' advantages meant that there would be way more farmers anyway. If we started out in an area with 500 farmers and 500 hunter-gatherers, in a 1000 years, we'd end up with 5000 farmers and 500 hunter-gatherers (assuming they were allowed to stay). A 50-50 split becomes 90-10.

Ok, so you are in a society without birth control. How do you think the hunter-gatherer population is limited?

My guess is starvation.
