Which is riskier? Playing Russian Roulette once? Or a dozen times?

My mother gave me a spanking to impress upon me that playing with household electricity at my level of understanding was not a joke, period.

4 or 5 year olds, even precocious ones, do not have the cognitive machinery to be able to assess this kind of risk, and if they are unusually curious (which I was), well... Sorry, mom, about all the gray hairs I probably gave you over the years. (She seemed to have loved me well enough regardless. :D)

My parents sat me down and calmly explained everything they could. Which, as I mentioned before, worked great, until the appeal of something else overwhelmed verbal warnings, which was also not uncommon. Sometimes it was electricity, sometimes it was fire. I can think of another time maybe a year or so later when I discovered a box of strike-anywhere matches, and proceeded to light them one after another to wow at the sparkles, and watch the changes in the match as it burned. My mother took a different approach this time, and as 'punishment', gave me an entire box of matches, of which I was supposed to light them one at a time, let them burn down, then drop them in a bucket of water and repeat until the box was empty.

I suppose she was trying to allow me to explore my fascination with fire in a safe way so that I would get bored with it. Honestly, I can see some merit in that line of thought. ...but instead of getting bored, once I was done, I went and asked for another box. (it turns out fire is fascinating.)

I did get good at learning just how long I could hold a match before I risked burning myself, and how to strike them properly. So that was a plus. I also learned that the embers of the spent match can be kicked back up in to flame again for a surprisingly long time, too. So I'd say it was a good lesson, no spanking involved. But electricity is not nearly as forgiving, and I genuinely do think a swat in that kind of situation can be a useful thing.
As long as there are property rights, contracts, and taxes, yes. Whatever the courts accept as proof that you own an asset or owe a debt is government backed ID. We only choose the quality and security properties of that system.

Phone screens had to get bigger to accommodate ads. With small screens, the content takes up all the space and there's no extra room for ads.
Good to see others checking TOS/PP too, and asking these questions. Especially as there is absolutely no transparency. Who is the company, or some people behind this, contact email? The TOS says 'use at own risk, we are not liable for anything' and also mentions 'Refund policy' (?).

The domain is namecheap, no more info. And the HN user tiburon is a new account.

There are 4 trackers on the site. Besides GTM (mentioned in PP) there is twitter-ads.

Do you have more info, tiburon?

I meant it mostly in a sense of maximizing financial rewards by producing goods and services rewarded by the market. This activity may or may not overlap with what you enjoy doing. A typical example would be working in finance vs making art.
I do think sockets should be fundamentally redesigned from the ones we have here in the US. There are so many, better examples in use around the world. One small plus is that most of our outlets are only 110v, which is somewhat safer to deal with.

Seems good - going to try this out when I get some time next.
Given the purpose “to help people listen to podcasts”, I’m a bit puzzled about which end you’re tackling it from. Does it not make more sense to work on the user’s side, on browser software, where you can make all sites work, rather than helping the odd site here or there to support this? When approached from the website side, I don’t expect many to adopt it.

(On the browser side, I am aware that various browsers have speech controls hooked up, most commonly inside a Reader Mode—to say nothing of screen readers, which have a different target market. There’s also the Web Speech API which could be used to replicate WebsiteVoice’s functionality using whatever voices are offered by the user’s device. Its quality will be heavily platform-dependent.)
I'm curious how the economics work out with building your own TTS vs. just paying Google to do it for you. Of course Google's TTS API costs money, but I assume that you also had to pay for a dataset of transcribed speech. After how many hours of audio is the breakeven point?

A 260-meter diameter magnetic sail weighing only 1kg would be quite fantastic to see. I wonder if something based on carbon tubes could withstand 100,000g. Acceleration at such levels would turn conventional metals liquid immediately.
These workers aren't laid-off... they're just not being paid. I don't know if a landlord can sue Yahoo if they just stop paying an employee causing them to not make rent. It doesn't sound absurd to me.
I guess that makes horrible subjective.
Isn't the current location where fighting is happening a factor either? Europe had a lot more forests, while the footage I'm seeing from Afghanistan, Iraq etc seems like a lot of open spaces with the odd building / wall. You don't want to turn your back to the enemy in retreat in an open space like that.
So do you think that if from today all the crimes were depenalised there would be no whatsoever increase in thefts, assaults, murders and all the other crimes?
I think that instead we would see a massive increase.
Its not particularly interesting though. A calculator is a kind of specilized AI that can do maths massively faster than a human can.
@tiburon thanks for the feature, i truly love it. i've added it to my blog with the JS snippet and it plays now on all the articles! https://jaywad.com/blogs/tips-for-a-productive-morning-routi...

I would wish to be able to customise the play button though.
People want to hire intelligent, hardworking people.

If you don't have a college degree, you just need to find other ways to show potential employers you're intelligent and hardworking, regardless of industry.

To think about this from any other perspective is to unnecessarily pigeonhole yourself.
Not the M16, but the IAR (Infantry Automatic Rifle) - that gun has a tight spread for an automatic rifle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M27_Infantry_Automatic_Rifle .

I got to use it as my fire team's machine gunner before getting discharged in what was an unwinnable bureaucracy loop. It was a near total win over the SAW - not only was it more accurate & lighter, but it didn't breakdown anywhere near as much. The interesting shift though is that it sounds like every Marine is going to get an IAR, and not just the machine gunner for a fire team. This could have some ramifications on infantry tactics, since the machine gunner in a traditional fire team (i.e. fulfilling the suppressing firepower role) could switch depending on the scenario and yield some formidable advantages.
I usually start by deciding what trousers to put on and take it from there.
I think we passed the tipping point for the climate 25 years ago, we just didn’t know it, or even today full grasp it.

I was saying 10 years ago they by 2024-2028 we would see runaway climate changes.

I have friends and relatives that are climate related research scientists. 10, 5, and 3 years ago they thought I was crazy, last year they have all expressed concerns that I might have underestimated the speed of change. They are very scared.

I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think I am.

They performed tests. What do you offer in your comment outside of "common knowledge". I'm not necessarily saying that you are wrong, but other than hearsay you didn't offer anything.
I have a friend building a health tech NGO operating in rural India that uses https://www.open-emr.org as the foundation of their software.

Maybe contributing to it / a similar open source project would be high impact? I'm sure they're not the only ones depending on this type of software.

Another wildcard is how much damage humans may inflict on ecological systems in a desperate search for food, when crop yields decline.
There's been a few Lisps targeting JVM since early 2000s, back when JVM arguably had a lot larger mindshare.
The largest weight I experienced in the service was Sapi plates and Ammo. Those are two things you definitely don't want to leave out, though it wasn't entirely uncommon for people to leave out plates when deployed, leading to forced inspections before movements.
Not domes so much as greenhouses. The climate change doesn't kill you, it kills the crops you depend on to live and then you starve.
What am I uniquely positioned to do that, if successful, will have expotential impact (where impact = quality adjusted life years created)?

I love this story.

Little kid logic is so foreign to me now it makes me a little sad.

Another example - we have our nephew stay over sometimes. One night, he did not, absolutely NOT want to go into the room he sleeps in.

We couldn't work it out. He slept there a bunch of other times, no problem.

Tried picking him up to carry him in, but no, he screamed like crazy.

After a long, long time, he settled enough to tell us there was a "BIG FROG" (said with wide eyes, mouth turned down) in his room.

Turns out that over the traffic noise he could hear a frog croaking outside his window. It was a noise we'd all just dismissed.

Opened and closed the window to show him it was outside.

Asked him how big he thought the frog was. Held his arms out as far as they would go. I showed him a video of a tiny croaking frog on my phone. Not the same as the outside frog, but close.

He was ok after we showed him the window was locked, and the frog wouldn't be able to get in.

You can do the first render statically into s3 and then attach react. So basically your build does the SSR. It works if you have a smallish number of pages.
By not taking the formal degree path, you've chosen the harder option but it's not impossible! Look to startups and freelance work until you build up a track record and preferably a portfolio.
Yup. People hire people who can solve problems that create business value. Web development is and will continue to be a huge source of business value.
Well, it's not going to be interesting to everyone. But there are many people who are interested in it; Cathy O'Neil wrote a whole book about it. The main point is I'd argue that it's a big problem that needs people to look at it. (80,000 hours website was actually talking about general AI - https://80000hours.org/career-guide/world-problems/ - but I'd still argue specific A.I.s need attention too)
> because they cost more to build

Then they should offer models that are cheaper to manufacture, like the 5c. I'm surprised not to see a successor to the 5c. Maybe they are worried it would be too popular and gouge sales of flagship models negating some of their premium branding.

I'm currently on a 6s and see no update path for myself, I would happily sacrifice faceID and some of the higher-end phone materials for a modern paired down iPhone. I have about as much confidence in this appearing though as them fixing the state of the keyboards on the MBP's.

This is also, as it turns out, one of the most pertinent things a developer should be considering at all times. Sometimes we may get a bit too refactor-happy, not seeing the use behind a certain fix, a line of code or a strange function. Our first instinct isn't to understand it, but to tear it down, gleefully assuming that it's useless.
I started https://hackclub.com because I was in his shoes not too long ago. Maybe he'd find value in our Slack (or maybe start / join a club once he's in high school)?

> Or you don't want to aggressively move your mouse too much when doing other expensive operations. (This may be in user space or the kernel, but either way you're trained not to do it.)

Operant conditioning by software bugs is totally a thing, but for this particular example I was trained into exactly opposite behaviour. I do move my mouse a lot during very resource-intensive computations, because that lets me gauge the load on my system (is there UI animation lag? is there cursor movement lag?), and in extreme cases, it can tell me when there's time to do a hard reboot. I've also learned through experience that screensavers, auto-locking, and even auto-poweroff of the screen can all turn what was a long computation into forced reboot, so avoiding long inactivity periods is important.

This conditioning comes from me growing up with Windows, but I hear people brought up on Linux have their own reason - apparently it used to be the case (maybe it still is?) that some computations relying on PRNG would constantly deplete OS's entropy pool, and so just moving your mouse around would make those computations go faster.
Like all things, it depends. In North America, the vast majority of houses are wood frame. The incidence of deadly house fire remains rare. If you build to code, wood frame houses can be quite safe. As for storm risk, there is a lot you can do to strengthen a wooden house against hurricanes. Cinder block houses lose their roofs just as easily as a wooden house if it is not properly anchored. There are also a lot of places where hurricanes just aren't an issue. Finally, wood generally fares better in an earthquake as it is naturally flexible whereas cinder block houses most assuredly are not.
Then, is getting a driver upstreamed for linux really harder than getting it trusted/signed for Windows or macOS?
This poorly written article provides nothing of value. It’s mostly a laundry list of .Net facts and a whole bunch of ads.
I'm anti-adjuvant because adjuvants push your body's immune system into a Th2-heavy mode (antiparasitic/antifungal). Repeated adjuvant administrations are likely to contribute to immune disorders, especially Th2-heavy disorders and immunoproliferative disorders. Many, many autistic people have Th2-heavy (and generally imbalanced) immune systems. When exposed to immune stimulants, you'd expect these people to show additional symptoms. Adjuvants, by design, overstimulate immune systems. Repeated adjuvant exposure during infancy probably contributes to disorders of hyperactive immune systems.

Live virus vaccines are adjuvant-free. MMR vaccine, studied in the "vaccines cause autism" study and refuted by countless other studies, is actually adjuvant-free.

TL;DR -- Adjuvants are likely to overstimulate some peoples' immune systems, because they're designed to strongly stimulate peoples' immune systems.

Still better to use adjuvanted vaccines than be unvaccinated and get terrible illnesses though.
Meant to reply to the comment, sorry :)
Ah, I just missed this comment when sending my reply.

Many people indeed do not care, and just use any cool service they encounter (and yours is cool, don't get me wrong).

An increasing body of people (including me) is more wary of just using any stuff that is out there on Wild West internet. And for good reasons.

In your comment you provide information that would be very valuable to have on your site.

E.g. 'I am a passionate developer and intend to provide Premium services eventually. The basic services you find here will continue to be free.'

Anyway I envy you guys, now things tend to be too high level and you lose that holistic view of the computing machine.

Back than you felt pretty skilled I am sure, now I feel anybody could do my job, often. Unless you are working for the big 4 or similar, many jobs don't give you that excitement.
It’s also one of the most fun things an adult can do.
The article unfortunately does bot provide valuable information. .NET Core is great nevertheless. You should check it out.
I don't see how a company that uses the legal system to get their way is a free market capitalist company. Sounds like an oligarchy enabled by convoluted laws.
I really enjoy C# as a language and I think .NET core has some great potential if Microsoft can fulfill the cross platform promise.

That said, this article makes a lot of mistakes. Xamarin and Unity use mono not .net core.

.Net core isn't ready to bet the farm on. The cross platform tooling is still too weak atm. Its a huge headache to get profile data on Linux.

I'm sensible to these issues but I find most people have already strongly held opinions about the topic and very thick filter bubbles.

I like Listary - I haven't used Everything to compare, but I'm aware that they're similar.

For text file contents I'm a huge advocate for ripgrep , and for metadata...to be honest I don't have a great solution, so I'll be keeping an eye on the recommendations here.
I was not really mocking anyone. Just noting the irony of someone asking for more code in a document that is about writing less code.
What usually burns is inside the house, not house itself. And once a house burns, it must be usually demolished as a whole, because its not stable anymore (concrete doesn't likes fire). In wood house you can teoretically 'cut away' the burned part and build it new ;)
How about just using Ada? It has the added bonus of not being a gimmick (depending on who you ask I suppose ; )

Ada: type Ret_Typ is array (1..3) of Integer; Foo : access function return not null access Ret_Typ := null;

C: int ((foo)(const void *))[3]

Cdecl: declare foo as pointer to function (pointer to const void) returning pointer to array 3 of int
> Current desktop OSes don’t offer fine grained permissions

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but my impression was that Windows offers several certificate stores on several security levels (AD-domain, machine, user), each one able to separately set ACLs for the certificate container, the individual certificate and the private key.

Just because Linux and OSX doesn't support fine grained permissions, doesn't mean "current desktop OSes" doesn't. In fact the dominant desktop OS out there does this just fine and has for decades.

It's the niche hipster-OSes used by developers and security experts (like Linux and Mac OS) which lacks this fine grained control (and I'm saying this as a Linux user).

No need to say that what the guy asks for doesn't exist, when it clearly does in the OS with the clear majority market-share.

Or... Again... Am I missing something crucial or really obvious here?
Without a degree, doing what you're provably good at is your best option. A degree is basically an substitute for proof that you're good at something. (A degree doesn't actually prove you're good at it; at best it means you're more likely to be good at it, since you've been exposed to education about it.)

So if you're good at software, then do that. There's little chance for the demand for software developers to go down; it's one of the safest career paths there is. There is of course a chance that the software market will change and that demand for Ruby or Ember will drop. But if you can learn those, you can also learn to develop in Python and Vue or something.

Keep learning, keep diversifying.

Of course it's possible you have other talents. Maybe you're a good comic artist, cook, salesman, manager or something else entirely. Work on those skills when you can, and build up a portfolio so you can prove to people that you're good at these things too. There are plenty of fields where talent is far more important than a degree. A degree is merely a way to develop that talent and prove you've done that.
Don’t bother.

It’s an emotional decision to be anti vax.

No logic or facts you can present will change their minds.

Key life lesson: emotional positions cannot be changed by logic. Wish I’d known that years ago.

Except perhaps factual accounts of children of anti vaxers who became very sick, with for example whooping cough or measles.

Aside from obvious things like the immaturity of the various technical components (blockchains, biometric security), I think you’ll have a hard time convincing folks outside small circles of crypto idealists that sampling democracy is desirable. Even if it works at a technical level, most people want to explicitly chose who reps them and makes laws for them. Randomly selecting a sample to vote on a law takes that away, and isn’t a direct digital version of contemporary representative democracies/republics. To channel Neo, the problem is choice.
Similarly, there's an innate survivorship bias in your case as well. There are people that were spanked as a kid that grew up violent, despising their parents or simply engaging in more dangerous behavior due to the breakdown of trust. I can guarantee you there are kids that decided to poke wires in an outlet solely because their parents decided to spank them.

We also know that hitting your pets does not work either, yet for some reason we seem to believe that hitting children is effective.

Physical harm is rare in psychedelic experiences. Psychological harm is very, very real and has destroyed peoples lives when they get too carried away using psychedelics. I agree that these compounds should be legal, but to say they are 100% safe is ridiculous.
Yes, this was one the point that was me over when look to migrate from WhatsApp. Another winning point: it’s not tied to your phone number. So far it’s working great and I brought a kernel of friends with me.
Besides not being a declaration it really is gibberish - calling a null pointer is undefined behaviour. I believe the correct way of calling a function at address zero is ((void()(void))(intptr_t)0)(); which is merely implementation defined.

C has the weird thing that a literal zero in a pointer context becomes a null-pointer which may not actually have the bit pattern 0. And when the optimizer sees a guaranteed null pointer it tends to optimize the whole branch away since entering that would be UB. So if you try calling address zero with "((void()(void))0)();" you might end up with the whole function optimized away as well as any function it gets inlined into.
