Sympathies--much of that sounds familiar. Someone else mentioned SSC here. I tried some of the stuff he mentions, and one that probably helped some was tianeptine sulfate, which you can buy legally as a supplement, without a prescription. No withdrawal zaps, etc. Definitely do your homework if you're going to try this. And I'd stay away from tianeptine sodium, which sounds like it has far greater addictive potential.

As far as clinging to women, some combination of age and several really awful breakups/betrayals seemed to rid me of that.

Good luck.

I agree, I check in there now and again but I find the quality of discussion to be very low.
The issue I see with that is making it easy to embed on sites, I don't think an iframe works well for the purpose of embedding universally. I guess you could have each button for upvoting, staring, etc. be a link or POSTed form, but I think that would be more resource intensive and more difficult to cache if you had to render out each possible state the comments could be in (comment x expanded or not, comment y expanded or not, both together, starred, etc.) every time something is clicked. On the positive side, commento's JS payload is pretty small. I would be up for the challenge though, because it is probably doable with no JS. The non-HN crowd won't care though

Back in the early 1980's, there was a weekly PBS series called The Computer Chronicles. It was a rundown of tech at the time. Being an older geek, I remember watching them first-run to learn about shiny new things like VisiCalc, sound cards and The Internet. Thankfully, folks have managed to digitize most of the original tapes and it's now on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ComputerChroniclesYT

I've found that going back and watching them has stirred some great nostalgia and perspective.

I usually buy every 2 year (my S9 plus is working perfectly), so I'll probably just skip it and buy S11, but I consider smart phones as a mature category, much more excited with spending my money to buy a Tesla (and I never bought a new / almost new car in my life).
Indeed. If they can successfully rebind the Bill of Rights as applied to states based on P&I instead of the due process clause, the Bill of Rights may evaporate for non-citizen immigrants. A state(i.e. Republican ones) may then pass discriminatory laws for which the Bill of Rights no longer applies against.
It’s not difficult. Most modern allocators are pretty similar, and quite predictable. They keep a cache (usually per-thread or per-CPU) of free allocations for each allocation size[1], in the form of a stack. malloc() pops the last allocation from the stack, and free() pushes onto it. If you malloc() when the stack is empty, there’s some more logic to obtain a new chunk of allocations, but that’s not relevant here. Once the target (kernel in this case) frees an object, the allocation will be at the top of the stack, and whatever object it allocates next with the same size, on the same thread/CPU, will likely take its place. In the case of a kernel, most allocations are in response to syscalls or other requests from userland, so you can usually control what gets allocated next.

There usually is some risk of the allocator not doing what you expect, e.g. because of intervening mallocs/frees from other threads, which indeed is likely to lead to a crash. However, most exploits don’t need to be 100% reliable anyway. And there are various ways to increase reliability.

Caveat: Not all allocators work this way, and even among the ones that do, each has its unique quirks. However, the basic “first in, first out” behavior is quite common across a multitude of implementations. IIRC, the default Linux allocator (it has three to choose from!) is one of them.

[1] Actually range of allocation sizes. Such allocators will usually have a fixed list of “size classes”, which are just specific allocation sizes they support; allocation requests that fall between size classes will just be rounded up to the next highest one. Large allocations (e.g. 4kb+) are handled with a different path.

Growth hacking and marketing are all about targeting the right products to the right potential customers. So as tools they are fine and add value to society, because without them product discovery would be less efficient, and there would be more big companies keeping their claim and less chance for indie hackers. Some people may use them to promote bad products, but I would argue that those businesses are the problem, not the tools.
I don't think it's that simple and I don't see why it's a given that refs are bent.

There is far more money at stake in maintaining the legitimacy of the the NBA (player salaries, tv deals, team valuations - all of these easily trump all the money made off of betting). Wouldn't that money fight a lot harder than any bent refs in order to fight corruption and maintain the legitimacy of the NBA?

If a bigger story about bent refs got out it would destroy the NBA and a lot of the associated revenue. I'm sure the NBA is aware of this.

I'm not arguing that there is no corruption, but I don't see why it's so 'obviously' commonplace as you and others suggest. I'd like a more concrete reason why than 'its good for marketing' since that seems like a weak argument in the bigger picture of money made from the NBA.
Society should be following reasoning from first principles rather than relying on opinions of anyone.

Experts should be better at explaining the reasoning behind their opinions from first principles, but we should not trust them until they do so. Experts can make mistakes and have biases, often to new ideas.

Please see my first post in this thread. As mentioned, I do agree that sans Rob Pike, Ken Thompson, and the Google host, the language would have likely languished in semi-obscurity. But if it was an entirely flea ridden dog, no amount of marketing would have afforded it the mind share that it possesses.
I agree with everything you said but I'd look for a Toyota Camry instead. Personal preference maybe but I've had lots of Toyotas and Hondas and Toyota wins in my book. More reliable, easier to work on and maintain, and hold value better.

It is actually quite stupid to get a unicorn valuation if you are not a really good fit for world conquering business. In all other regards it is people gambling using other people's money and using your time&health. Most ideas simply aren't that kind of idea. And if you don't get other investors with your idea think about simply doing a full time job and considering your project a hobby. It can still turn to make you a tidy profit. And I can promise you that if you are talented you can also work for big corps and enjoy a good life there. Sure the tasks don't seem to be very meaningful, but if you fake a new chat app as a unicorn startup it's not that much more meaningful either.

https://casetext.com/case/von-hofe-v-us

:-)

Claimants Harold and Kathleen von Hofe appeal from a civil judgment ordering the forfeiture of their home, 32 Medley Lane. They contend the forfeiture violates the Excessive Fines Clause of the Eighth Amendment, which "limits the government's power to extract payments, whether in cash or in kind, as punishment for some offense." Austin v. United States, 509 U.S. 602, 609-10, 113 S.Ct. 2801, 125 L.Ed.2d 488 (1993) (internal citation and quotation marks omitted). We affirm the forfeiture of Mr. von Hofe's interest in 32 Medley Lane, but not the forfeiture of Mrs. von Hofe's interest. Because the extent of the forfeiture bears no correlation either with Mrs. von Hofe's minimal culpability or any harm she purportedly caused, the Excessive Fines Clause precludes forfeiture of her entire one-half interest in 32 Medley Lane.

Funny, I don't see similar moral outrage at talented engineers working in Facebook and Google, doing no evil. (I do see such outrage at the companies themselves - but rarely at the developers working for them).

Yes, these companies do make useful products. But they have real negative effects on the world, which would have been better off if all those engineers had made these products for companies other than these lobbyist, competition-stifling, aggressive monopolies.

There's no real moral difference between selling your talents to the highest bidder and this specific case of running a spam service to make money.
One of the most balanced, insightful and respectful critiques I've read on the topic. Brightened up my day reading it. Thanks.

I've stated previously I'm an Erlang fan, for several of the reasons you've highlighted. I similarly don't believe it's a "global maxima".

Perhaps the most saddening observation is the number of languages that have come after Erlang - intended for server-type loads - that haven't learned from and built on its strengths in concurrency and fault tolerance.

I remember a separate discussion between Joe Armstrong and Alan Kay[0] where Kay posed the wonderful question (paraphrasing): "what comes next that builds on Erlang?"

That's a tempting prospect. My personal wish list would include 1st class dataflow semantics and a contemporary static type system and compiler that's as practically useful as Elm's today.

The key point is to build on what's been proven to work well, not throw it away and have to re-learn all the mistakes from scratch again.

It’s not simply recovered in a different way. Send a several pounds to a lab and the difference is easy to detect.

You can argue that said difference is meaningless, but that’s what markets are there to decide and misleading labels rob markets of pricing power by hiding information from consumers.

IMO, it really comes down to planned economics vs free markets. Producers hate free markets as a rule, but avoiding them has real costs.

Privacy is a important factor in the stability of free democratic societies.

Today we have a asymmetry of transparency: institutions and companies are intransparent while the individual isn’t. This assymetry in information translates into an asymmetry of power.

The traditional way citizen of free societies dealt with asymmetries of power was to divide them.

A government could easily sentence and jail anybody if it weren’t for some strangely roundabout rules that made this hard.

The privacy movement is part of a powerplay between individuals and entities that go beyond single persons.

Of course you also have those who think it is about their dick pics..
This is also an argument against No speed limit as speed differential is really the more dangerous aspect. It's not safe to drive 100MPH along side semis doing 65MPH .

I don't think Youtube can or should do much of anything here, but why on earth as a parent would you let your child upload something like that to a public website (or even worse, upload it yourself)?

There are a ton of weirdo creeps out there and putting your child's private videos on Youtube of all places seems like terrible parenting.
This has also been my experience. Enterprise systems really went all-in on Angular 1 for some reason (I personally suspect because it bridges reactive and MVC), and when it was time to move to a fully-reactive front-end framework, in my opinion Vue and Angular 1 are similar to each other in a way that React is not similar in relation to either of them or Angular 2+.

I still can't quite put my finger on why Angular 1 and Vue rhyme, though. It's common wisdom that "If you know Angular, you'll pick up Vue quickly", and it seems to be true, but nobody has ever explained to me why. Is it the state management? Reliance on viewmodels? How they're more complete systems out of the box and can be reasoned about holistically? Help a girl out, HN.

That'd likely be seen as an overreach now, but twenty years from now we may wish we'd done that.

In the meantime, making them only visible to an approved list of friends/family seems like a reasonable step for video of or published by minors. Maybe you put together a "child actor" exemption where they parents can moderate it for public access.

I hear ya. It’s one of those things that are like Janus and are two sided.

But imagine: store employees make a peep hole in dressing rooms. Sure parents help their children change, depending on age, it’s all innocent, but an unsupervised uninvited stranger is a little different, right?

Same with these kids’ videos. Now of course a good question is who’s uploading, thd kids or the parents? Parents should know better than make family vids avail to all, Google should do a better job of figuring out if a kid’s old enough to upload if the parent isn’t involved in this.

They may even default to “private”/unlisted if they can auto determine the uploader is a kid, and advise parents if content, though innocent, contains minors (this should be default for parents anyway because although they have right to make decisions for their kids, they should think hard before putting their kids out there on the internet, if nothing else for the privacy of their kids')
In that case it would need to be GitHub News or some such.
> but what else do you do here?

For your example ("the same kind of videos my own sisters would shoot with our dad's camcorder") there are two remedies:

1) Upload the video as unlisted, so it will not appear in recommendation systems and you can send the link to your friends/family.

2) Disable comments on the video.

Public content is a bit more dangerous to leave unchecked in 2019 than in 2009.

According to the bill, money for construction of two new
lanes on each side of I-5 and CA-99 would be
drawn from California's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.
Moorlach doesn't give an estimated cost for the project,
but says the state already owns the right of way necessary
for the lanes. The bill is being pitched as a way to cut
idling in traffic and therefore reduce greenhouse gases,

The irony of making a lane unlimited speed when 1) Driving over certain speeds (60?) significantly increases fuel consumption and 2) It's pretty constly, environmentally speaking, to replace cars and people when they inevitably crash at 100MPH

Not really bizarre or really unconnected.

In fact, for most of history, and with very great many minds throughout history agreeing to that, it would be your objection that would be considered bizarre.

You don't have to believe in a specific creator or any specific religious mythology to agree with such a statement as "this world is fallen". Even as atheist like e.g. Emil Cioran could agree with such a statement. But even if someone actually believes e.g. in the Christian god, it's almost irrelevant as to the validity of their belief that "this world is fallen".

It's just a way of seeing the world -- as permanently imperfect and with fatal flaws in its construction. In fact most of our history and even personal lives agrees with this observation as well: we are ignorant of most things, we age, we get ill, we suffer, we kill each other, we are petty, and so on. And in the end, we just die, along with everybody we knew and loved. All that in an indifferent universe, that could e.g. wipe thousands of us out tomorrow with an earthquake, a tsunami, and so on. Or something of our own making, like a nuclear war.

These things can be summed up in "this world is fallen", and there's nothing bizarre or unconnected about it.

One might disagree and see progress etc, and even be optimistic that everything will prevail, or even see no issue with death and illness and the ills of old age, and so on. But in the main there's nothing much bizarre in saying that "this world is fallen" -- e.g. that things are incomplete, broken, and more often than not disappointing.

In the 1980s federal law was changed such that asset forfeitures could be put into the US Treasury's general fund. That was quickly changed back a few years later. My suspicion is that the Feds allow the states and agencies to keep it, as a cooperation enticement. It helped make for happy allies in the war on drugs and kept everyone on the same page. Bribe money, basically. If you don't want them to fight against (or ignore enforcement) the war on drugs as a concept, give them an economic incentive to cooperate. The sums used to be far more trivial (prior to the last decade), so the US Treasury likely didn't miss it.

" when they inevitably crash at 100MPH"

Why would they crash? 100 is not difficult to do.
Sure, but that's an uploader's decision they can already make today. It didn't prevent this drama.

The suggestion here is that Youtube should do something about it, and I'm asking what that solution specifically looks like.
