It is similar if you can get it to run on x86, but NextStep/OpenStep on Intel was notoriously picky about hardware, supporting only a tiny number of video and networking cards. Even virtualization doesn't work that well -- I tried VirtualBox for OpenStep X86 a few years ago and never got the networking to work, and was stuck with subpar VESA graphics.
In my experience most things which people call "mental problems" are caused by themselves. And the solution is to stop causing them, not to learn how to "manage" with them.
My litmus test for technology is whether it results in a) fewer lines of code b) simpler code and c) does it make me more productive. My experience with using hooks is that I rip out lots of cruft and it is easier for me to get my head around how to write things so I am more productive. The cost is learning a new paradigm, but the benefit for me was very high.

>complains about racists

You sure are a ball of hilariously backward priorities!

Racists are people too, and just like pedophiles on the darknet, racists on opennet forums act as a canary. When political policy trumps liberty, the racists get the gas and act as a warning flag that freedom of thought and civil discussion is in jeopardy. Moderation should minimally kill spam, and maximally kill prima facie uncivil behavior (of which civilly expressing the idea that blacks are inferior or jews control the banking system are not uncivil behaviors, whereas "fvck you nxgger!" is).

The internet used to be an open space where squelching even ugly, factually wrong, and unpopular expression was anathema, then one day the political became personal online and into the trash this golden rule went.
Not aware of the show you speak of, was just parroting poorly written chatbots.

As for humor, that's one thing AI is not going to be able to do well for many years to come because it requires too much creativity. But as a Turing test it's not very good - some people are just fundamentally unfunny.
Perhaps we're just completely opposite. When I have free lunch I just get fat. I also like to squeeze in a workout on my lunch break, and the quiet pressure to stay in the office and have your free lunch opposes that.
I would assume the definition of disabled at play here is related to the equipment of the car e.g. wheelchair lift, or service required e.g. driver getting out of the car to help someone in or out of the car.

yes, they share many of the topics about vulnerability, but if you didn't listen to the power of vulnerability I strongly advice you to give it a try.

Except say on my linux (ubuntu), yes the kernel is patched, but the version doesn't increase very often at all sadly. Yes I decide to run the mainline kernels since I'm on a laptop and I find that beneficial, but it's not the default of most linux installations I believe.

Unlicensed content providers (this is the preferred politically correct term) have been doing HEVC UHD (4K) from day one.

Most TV shows and movies are available in HEVC at 720P and 1080P now but all it offers is smaller file sizes (not better quality) so most people don't care about it.
That seems like a fairly healthy thing to learn, no?

Sometimes we need to acknowledge that our brain can cause us to do things we don't want to, and not beat ourselves up for it. Obviously that can go too far, and you need to anticipate the consequences of your actions, owning your conscious decisions.
That's what I've come to discover about the humanities as a whole. I was very much a STEM Lord going into college, but my Uni required a lot of electives outside the major, to try to cross pollinate. I ended up enjoying those much more, and started to realize that we can't focus solely on STEM to the exclusion of them because, well, STEM can't solve or answer everything and we're forgetting the past, leaving it doomed to be repeated.
How would they help?

I've been at companies whose answer to complaints about open space was exactly this: shoulder high partitions. Yay, the cubicles are back.

"children and teenagers struggling to get to grips with how they fit into the increasingly complex modern world"

Isn't that basically the job of children, and has always been?

Not to denounce the efforts to improve their mental health. Just saying some struggle seems normal and unavoidable, probably even necessary.
I think it's because bigger displays consist of multiple controllers, handling different sections of the display. (at the bottom, there should usually be 2 chips, but for bigger displays there are 3) So you have to address these separately.

But nothing really weird.
I switched last time this was posted and I've liked it a lot.

With Cinnamon on Fedora it's very pretty.
That's definitely not true. Even at the high school level, where I teach, it's very much 'do STEM at the expense of humanities'. While it doesn't have to be a zero-sum game, it is and STEM gets pushed because it's seen as more 'practical' and better at getting you jobs.

1. 8 people make less noise than 80 people.

2. Physical security and confidentiality is much better.

3. If teams hold 'stand up meetings' or suchlike without using meeting rooms, they won't disrupt other teams.

4. People who have to make calls all the time (customer support, sales etc) don't disrupt other people.

5. Fixed walls remove the temptation to salami-slice square-footage-per-employee, protecting good working conditions.

6. Climate control becomes simpler and has a better chance of working.
My child is doing this; I've seen two situations where it was a help.

- I took a chunk out of myself with an axe (idiot, tired, low blood sugar tomfoolery); I got coached to calm down, and "this is a good opportunity to practice mindfulness" was quoted at me. It was surprisingly helpful actually :)

- We stayed with some friends and one of their children had a typical 10yrld meltdown (over xbox); my child took themselves off to another room and practiced mindfulness to avoid getting upset.

So, it appears to be rubbish, but in practice seems to give tools that work, at least a bit!

As any subject to learn, you don't have to if you don't want to.

More seriously, as in programmation, many new languages manage memory with a garbage collector or other mechanisms, but if you want to be a good developer, you need to know how all this is done underneath.

To drive a car, you don't need to know how an engine works, but to create one...

And for the particular subject, you have to understand the principles under your tools to know how to change parameters and understand why the tools can be biased with bad parameters (or not enough data).

I tried Voat, but it was just full of Pao-era ex-redditors engaging in two-dimensional-spherical masturbatory activities about how amazing Voat is compared to reddit.

This isn't correct. There are "comingled" and "non comingled". Sellers pay more for the latter.

Also, there's FBA and non-FBA.

Better distinction on the buyer side would go a long way

Of course, Amazon doesn't want any 1 seller becoming too poplular because that means they can stop competing on price.

But "practicing mindfulness" is suggesting the cure is easy (pretty sure the science is shaky, at least positive thinking isn't proven to work?).

Actually working on issues might work better, and might also not be easy.

Sure for a fixed dataset, more training plateaus after a while. However with more power we can work on different types of data. For example instead of using 2D CNNs on images, we can now use 3D CNNs on high resolution pointcloud data. Also as the speed of data acquisition grows being able to train a given model on a given type and size of dataset to a fixed 'level' as fast as possible becomes even more important.
We've had success in team ghosting useless product managers, eventually (after 2 years without any output) causing them to leave (out of their own volition, because apparently being hired by C levels protects you from being terminated because it would reflect bad on the hiring C level).

But the spotify model is artists share = total spotify payments * (total number of this artists plays / total number of listens to all artists)

so if i only listen to 5 artists but they are some of the least listened to artists then they get basically none of my money and taylor swift, beyonce etc. get it all... what is worse spofity have been gamin gthe numbers to make sure even more money goes to a few big players.

Spotify also have a really horrendous set of privacy rules. they are storing every tie you touched the controls right back to 2008 and selling that crap like mad.

I just go straight to band camp, then look for the artists own site, then look for othre sites hosting flacs, then look for second hand CDs.. then i save the file myself and just look after it.

all else fails i will just listen on youtube as i see companies like spotify being a real problem as they sell them selves as the exact opposite of what they are :(

There are now 900M iPhone users and 100M Mac users and 200M iPad users, while some may be overlap, there is give or take 1 Billion users Apple potentially serve. And yet they still only have 500 Stores, with more than half of them in US. So in terms of users and Store distribution US has a much better Ratio, and hence the favourable experience in the two previous reply, coming from US.

A long time ago ( I think it was 2015 ) I had expected Apple to reach 1000 Apple Store Worldwide by 2020. But just like every part of their infrastructure, ( CDN, Datacentre, Solar Energy, Recycling etc ) their "Asset-Light" strategy, being extremely conservative with any Asset has hold them back.

Mindfullness doesn't aim to eliminate struggle. Children still have to sit exams; they still have chances to enter competition. And mindfulness won't, for example, remove a child from poverty.

What it might do is stop children killing themselves as a result of adversity.

Rates of death by suicide in the UK have been declining recently, but not for young people. We also know that rates of self-harm for young people are increasing, and self harm is a significant predictor of death by suicide.

Ask HN: Should you offer a free trial for a software product?
There is an excellent discussion on Hacker News currently about offering customers a money-back guarantee:

If you sell a software product, what do think about offering a free trial period as an alternative (or addition) to a money-back guarantee? How long should a trial period last?

Would you offer both a trial period and a money-back guarantee? Or one only, both not both?

Here is one (negative) perspective on free trials from the creator of the Nomad List website:

Recently I have been bombarded by ads for some mindfulness app on youtube. All of their ads talk about ancient aliens and crystals, whereas the application presents itself as a yoga and meditation thing. The content has both.

I don't know about Sweden/Denmark/Norway but this is not true of the Western European country Germany. I'm an American living in Germany. It's shockingly easy to immigrate to here. It takes 5 years to get permanent residency. The process is humane and reasonable. More than half the people I work with are immigrants from all over the world. No one I've asked even considers moving to America because of the nearly non-existent social safety net, the expense of having children, the unwelcoming rhetoric about immigrants, and universally toxic experiences with American government officials (TSA, customs, etc.). That story about things are better in Europe because Europe is culturally homogeneous is not true in Germany. It's also true that there is new conflict/friction within German society because of the heterogeneity. But the presence of immigrants has not in any way made the country less "nice and comfortable". These qualities are the product of the society's belief that everyone should have a reasonable quality of life. People here make a choice to pay more taxes towards that aim and they do this because they believe in it.

Yes approaching it with context is extremely important, as its the heavily influenced by the cold war.

I thought “ghosting” was when I never talk to someone again and there’s no closure to the relationship because I don’t answer any contact [0].

This article describes employees resigning with no notice and employers rescinding job offers days before start. Neither of these are ghosting as they involve notice. They are certainly rude, but something other than ghosting.

Also, if you incur costs as a result of a job offer that is not fulfilled, it’s a pretty easy lawsuit to recoup damages. If the company can’t afford to pay, then that’s a failure of due diligence on the employees fault. It’s not that expensive to do a $5-10k small claims lawsuit and certainly affordable given the pretty massive cushion emergency fund I have to have to pull my kids out of school and move across the country.
