Lack of purpose itself can be a low-key trauma in itself. As infamously seen by the opiate epidemics. Their parents may not have been beating them but a sense of no future can still be damaging.
Ask HN: Which are the best written tutorials you have seen till now?
Starting next year, I am planning to write more well-organized tutorials as a way to increase my rate of learning and understanding (The topics won't be of interest to general HN community). But I wanted the see what kind of best practices are appreciated in the community. I am not referring to documentation per se, of which I do plenty for myself during work. But on improving myself as a communicator in the written medium when explaining things through code+simpler language.

Most bikes have mounting points for two bottle holders. If you're going to be riding for over an hour you'll probably need two bottles unless you have somewhere to refill during the ride.
As a greenie, there are plenty of things that I think are kind of dumb and misguided (say, automobiles), but at least I understand the thinking behind them, and hope that some day better alternatives (public transit, self driving cars, bicycle and scooter sharing) will make them obsolete.

But leaf blowers are unique in that they're not only obnoxious and wasteful, but also stupid to begin with. You’re spending money and time and effort and polluting both the environment AND mental environment to avoid raking, just so the wind can undo your efforts??

Leaf blowers make me profoundly misanthropic.
Thanks. So it's not much use for non-qwerty'ers as is, I'll have a look at patching it.
He's complaining that Google is sending 100 requests per hour to his site (i.e. one request every 36 seconds).

That's hardly a DOS attack. I doubt if anyone would even notice, except that he has his server set up to alert on every 404. Sure sounds like paranoia to me.

I mean, it's the swing that's hard, not the positions. That's why I said the bit about positions I support but with but reasoning I can't. But in retrospect that distinction wasn't that clear, my writing is almost as muddled as when I speak out loud.

jedberg didn't spill out the terrible recent-convert gobbledygook I'm used to hearing. Maybe he's did it right, or maybe he's adult-ed up his standing in the meantime, but it fits the mold and was as good a place as any to talk about the archetype.
The Fourth of July wasn’t strongly celebrated until the 90s (after Gulf War I) in the small southern town I was living in during the 80s/90s. Something about still being bitter about the Civil War (which we were taught was not about slavery, but states rights, ugh).
Chiller cost is approximately proportional to the surface area of the generator. The power output of a generator is approximately proportional to the volume.

The mass of a generator is approximately proportional to the volume too. The support structure is proportional to the mass of the generator, times the height of the turbine (actually more than that, but we'll ignore that for now).

The height of the turbine is proportional to the square root of the wind energy collected. (turbine blades can't hit the ground)

Combine all those factors to get the power indices...
The lawyer in this article asserts that "Bitcoin is most assuredly not a bearer asset or chattel, though."

It may technically have similar properties as bearer assets, but legally it's different. A bearer instrument is a document which is an explicit legal contract granting certain legal rights. A Bitcoin private key is not a document or a contract (an implicit contract as in "the system works this way, you can look at the description and everybody should know that" doesn't count), it's just some numbers, so it does not fulfil the criteria of laws about bearer assets. And if it did match these criteria, that would not be a good thing, since there are all kinds of prohibitions and restrictions on bearer assets due to their potential usage in money laundering. So while it is very similar to bearer assets regarding de facto control, it's not similar to bearer assets regarding de jure ownership.
I haven't run the numbers, but seriously doubt it is economically viable. Most of the ocean plastic is small particles and it'd have to be collected, filtered and dried first.
>why did you choose psychiatry over for example a PsyD degree? And: what are the key data points that make you believe that the pharma-centric approach is the one worth devoting your career to?

The patronizing stench of this comment aside, you’re attempting to wedge these two careers into the same hole when they are apples to oranges. At their foundation, the curriculums between the two are nowhere comparable.

My psychologist has been taught to conduct _psychotherapy_ at an expert level. My psychiatrist is trained to be a _medical doctor_ on all bases with additional expert knowledge in their sub field.

While you may have a certain disdain for the field of psychiatry, attempting to devalue the importance of the balance they maintain for a patient stems from ignorance of what they do.

Not really. That was kind of painful to read. It's as if

Me too. I develop with umatrix enabled, with font loading disabled, so that I can catch these problems, etc.

Forces you to use sensible technology, like svg and not fonts for icons, and catch these types of missing optional dependency errors, and not depend too much on a specific font in your design, so that if brwser forces something else, you don't start having overflowing text everywhere.
> The problem of “high house prices” is just imprecise language for “high cost of housing” - whether the cost is interest or principal is not terribly consequential.

It actually is, because it affects what can be done about it. If costs are high because interest rates are high, buyers can lower their costs by paying down principal or taking a shorter mortgage. It's frequently the case that, because most of the payment is taxes, insurance and interest, a 30 year mortgage is e.g. $1500/month whereas a 15 year mortgage is only $1700/month, and the difference between them shrinks as interest rates rise (and original principal amounts fall). Which means more people can afford to stop having a mortgage payment after 15 years rather than 30.

It should also result in less resistance to densification, because people are less worried about home values when they're lower to begin with.
While the mixed signage in the thread refers to the Metropolitan line part of Moorgate station, there's a similar mix going on in another part of Moorgate station, specifically the part that's the terminus for the Northern City line (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_City_Line).

It's very anachronistic in terms of London stations - its platform design (and that of most other stations on the subsurface part of the line) is still in the "Network South East" colours and fonts, which for reference hasn't technically existed as a concept since 1994. Just think - a colour scheme now 24 years out of date!

It's a line that isn't on the main Tube Map as it's technically part of the National Rail network and isn't run by Transport for London, even though if you wanted to travel from Moorgate direct to, say, Finsbury Park, the Tube Map would have you believe you need to change at Kings Cross.

(Though mostly this doesn't matter as the vast majority of passengers are commuters from the northern suburbs into the City anyway.)

There's a nice set of photos comparing old with new here, note especially how little it's changed and how unloved this part of the station looks compared with the TfL part. https://www.flickr.com/photos/60539035@N02/sets/721577011132...

> These estimates also only look at raw component costs and do not take into account other iPhone manufacturing expenses like research and development, software creation, advertising, and distribution, so this information, while interesting, is not an accurate measurement of Apple's profit margin for the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus.
Aborigines are alcoholics because they haven't had enough time to build the genetic resistance to alcohol. It has nothing to do with trauma.
Edward Watkin was amazing. Metropolitan Line? Check. Channel Tunnel? Check. Great Central Railway, the first inter-city continental-gauge railway in Britain? Check[1].

I like heading to the comments because I feel like I get a much more rounded perspective on a publication.

Unfortunately, if you spend too much time in the comments then it's easy to leave with an unfair impression of a topic or author: "Gosh, {topic/author} sure is (misguided|hyperbolic|reductionist|obvious|ignorant|wrong|malicious|unnecessary), tsk tsk"

As for how to fix it, I dunno.

I'm generally inclined to believe that companies--and people--aren't lying outright, unless there's evidence to the contrary. Apple seems to be making a real, concerted, and good faith effort in the realm of data privacy. This effort ought to be recognized.

Would it be _better_ if all Apple software was fully open source and could be independently audited by anyone? Yes. Does that invalidate everything else? No.

Also, Wireshark is a good way to monitor what data your phone is sending to what servers, even if it's incredibly imperfect.
I was exhausted the first month, but... I actually hate myself when I slack off. I love few things more than getting things done, and pairing provides me with that euphoria and discipline.

By "perpetuate the problem" do you mean "keep people alive"? Because that is incredibly heartless.

Hello vemv, we have time complexities in every stream command, and the reason there is no latency documentation is because it follows the Redis normal latency, that is, like blocking lists or Pub/Sub work: as soon as something is available for consumers waiting, it is immediately sent to the socket of such consumers. So you can expect extremely low latencies without any differences compared to other Redis commands. However I'll try to reply to your question in more details in that issue. Btw what is bad is that you did not find your answers in the Streams intro doc. I'll update that too.
It's just yet another way desperate uninformed recruiters will find me and unsuccessfully attempt to recruit me. Sadly, none of them send me an Oculus like they did for Gilfoyle.
I really like Mark Myers' style. He writes "A Smarter Way to Learn Bla" books. His books allow you to turn off your brain and simply sail through.
But they're even nickel and diming for things now that they used to give you in the box, all while charging you more. Like the Macbook Pros used to come with the power adapter extension cable.. now they just give you the brick + USB-C cable and expect you to pay $20 extra for the extension cable.. even though the recent Macbook Pros have gotten more expensive.

Dr. Maté's Scattered Minds is an excellent book for those dealing with ADHD

As stated in the Wikipedia link you provide, so-called “False Memory Syndrome” is fake news in the sense that it is not even recognized by any psychiatric manuals (not that the DSM is necessarily a reliable guide for actual illnesses given the things that make it in there these days).

To your point: yes, humans have the ability to make up stories about anything and do so frequently. Yes, there are bad or misguided psychologists out there who may manipulate some patients into saying something that isn’t true in order to, say, boost their career. Yes, there are bad psychiatrists and social workers who do the same thing.

On the other hand, child abuse is a real thing that due to the crushing societal stigma tends to be severely underreported. It’s like sexual harassment cases, except the risks are even higher, so most people just never talk about it. Some people go insane because they never even admit it to themselves and end up dying of addiction trying to fill an un-fillable hole.

Meanwhile, people talk about False Memory Syndrome like it is a problem of the same magnitude. It isn’t.
For me:

7: Learning. I never learned - or taught - as much about programming as when I was pairing. Everyone has their clever little tricks they've come up with, and spreading them around as problems come up is wonderful.
I don't usually sign contracts, when I do it's mostly NDAs. Often times the code has inherent competitive value. When not under an NDA, I'm well within my legal rights to reuse all of my code at any time, I could put everything I write on GitHub tomorrow with a GPL license and there wouldn't be anything stopping me legally (I would never do this, of course). When under an NDA but not granting exclusive usage rights, I'm not sure how that plays out, but I haven't ran into that situation yet. I'm in a very, very niche position.

I do appreciate the word of advice, and will make sure to look out for it when I do need to sign contracts for long-term work.
Try using i.reddit instead of www.reddit not sure how long it will stay up though. When they take those down, I'll leave Reddit (if their main site is still so shit on mobile).
While I'm sure apple's default choices are partially profit-motivated, defaulting to Duck Duck Go would be a poor UX for the vast majority of iPhone customers.

There is a valid discussion to be had as to whether UX or data privacy should be prioritized, but I'm inclined towards UX--most people just want to get the best search results possible.

If anything, on the UX <--> privacy scale, I'd argue Apple has sometimes been prioritizing privacy too highly as of late. As a heavy user of custom Applescripts, the new TCC dialogs introduced in Mojave have been causing me a lot of grief.
Great products are great tools
This is a good idea, I should definitely consider this. I do enjoy having the full "exclusive" licensing rights to my code, but in many situations in the future this probably won't be possible, especially when working in different domains.

That's true, but Google is one of the companies that pushed very hard to make the current situation socially acceptable

and continues to promote and push technology that allows for it to continue as it's in their interest

Google is a bad actor but yeah they are not the worst offender yet but I'm sure that will change in time right now they are just the enabler
Government funding happens within an economy subject to market forces. DARPA, in particular, had an intimate cooperation with for-profit companies. BBN and RAND were instrumental to creation of the Internet. BBN won the contract to actually build ARPANet. Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf both went through the “revolving doors” between government and industry. Kahn was involved in the implementation of ARPANet at BBN, and then went to work for DARPA in 1973. Cerf was a program manager at DARPA then went to go work for MCI in 1972.

Government funding isn’t an alternative to the market; it’s a different kind of market partipant. Government funding competes with private investment, and government agencies compete with the private sector for talant, etc.

We're looking at emotional abuse, not physical abuse. Trauma isn't necessarily being beaten half to death by your parents, it's also having nurturing and support purposefully withdrawn, or being made wholly unavailable.

A kid can feel neglected and abandoned because they might have food and a roof over their head, but they're not getting nearly enough hugs and cuddles as they need. Or they grow older and they're not given any trust, the parents assume the worst intention the whole time and the kid becomes a scapegoat.

Or it's applied so inconsistently that you don't even know what's right and wrong, because you do one thing one day and it's praised and you do it the next day and you get your ass beaten for it.

It's not the sense of no future, it's the lack of nurture and care. And it festers because there's this whole belief that parents know best. The kid knows a damn lot too and needs to be heard.
I've had plenty of time to watch and listen to these things lately, Germans seem to have a soft spot for complex technological solutions to non-problems. And for hiring the cheapest labor possible, people who just don't give a flying crap; and handing them a pile of hair dryers and other gasoline driven tools to play with.

Walking by with my son is just not an option, he's very sensitive to sounds; and he wakes up screaming whenever one goes off outside the house. If anyone else made that much noise for something as meaningless, I'm pretty sure people would gang up on them.
"In another exceptional move, parliament sent a serjeant at arms to his hotel with a final warning and a two-hour deadline to comply with its order. When the software firm founder failed to do so, it’s understood he was escorted to parliament. He was told he risked fines and even imprisonment if he didn’t hand over the documents."

Wow. I've never heard of the British parliament being this assertive before.
Basically none of that makes any economic sense. The fact that Blackstone can own 1.5% of the property in Sacramento is a supply issue. I.e. we are back to supply and demand. The entire rest of your post hinges on there being no supply response to demand. So yes, once again, everything is still and always will be mediated primarily by 'remedial high school economics'.

> Building more housing is not going to fix this part of the housing problem. There is more than enough foreign capital available to continue to keep housing prices artificially inflated no matter how many new homes are built.

No...that's not how anything works. Foreign capital is not infinite. And foreign capital invests in the US real estate market because it expects a return. If you change the expectation of supply, guess what happens? People don't want to invest in that asset anymore, and the capital dries up.

This is all a lot easier to see if you actually put yourself in the shoes of one of these 'foreign investors'. Don't think about them as an abstraction - think about yourself. If you were a rich Chinese businessman, ya, the SF property market is a great place to park your cash. Because it's supply constrained. But you better believe the moment that supply situation changes you're going to be running for the exit.
It was about the right of a state to ignore federal laws regarding slavery due to the economics involved.

What are the privacy and security considerations of running an open source operating system with Android 8 (Oreo)? I believe this (as Project Treble) would generally leave the lowest layer of the vendor-supplied Android still in place, potentially giving them some responsibility and control.

I think prior generations seem to be less self aware than we are now, either that or they've experienced more 'wonders' of the age. I cant ever remember a story about the first time someone saw a car, a plane, a jet, the moon landings. Whereas now we seem much more willing to discuss our first computer/ mobile phone, the early internet.

Conversations with my grandad about the war were limited to stories about scorpions in boots etc. I can't imagine younger generations being so silent on the subject.

I tried breaking an addiction earlier today, but I could only make it a few hours before the withdrawal overwhelmed me.

I've been practicing mindfulness lately, noticing the "shape" of sensations in the body, and it struck me that, physically, the withdrawal symptoms felt a lot like how I feel when I'm working through trauma.

I had the sense that, if I could work up the courage to face it and work through it (specifically, to practice mindfulness on the extremely unpleasant sensations), the addiction would eventually dissolve.

So I did a double take, when I saw my own thoughts at the top of HN!
