I was in the 1/4th that didn't need to be there once. I was bit by a snake in an unfamiliar area. Having grown up in an area with deadly snakes, I assumed I needed treatment. The ER doctors laughed at me and told me that they don't have poisonous snakes in the area.

Now I do a quick google search to check what snakes are in the area when traveling.

There are so many smaller open source projects I would love to donate to but don't accept donations. I would even pay subscription to them if it ensures their continued development.
Elixir definitely comes up short on raw computation. However we've been very satisfied with it for implementing a database. Use data oriented design (you want that anyway) and move any CPU intensive part into a native function. It's pretty straightforward to bind a C/C++/Rust library.
There are small companies, running on grandfathered free Google Apps for domains accounts. It is still somewhat different product than the current G Suite.
Joining a church requires money as most Christian churches expect or in some cases mandate a tithe. Furthermore, why should you be forced to join a religious organization that may have beliefs you don't agree with to get basic survival assistance? While my particular church doesn't require any particular beliefs or even that you're a member to receive basic necessities from our pantry, most churches I've been to are judgemental and terrible places full of people who go there just to prove they are better than everyone else. You don't even have to look far to see it, most churches discriminate against people of different sexual orientations, different religions, different choices regarding birth control, what you can eat, etc. I'm pretty much against churches being seen as a "charity". The Red Cross is a charity, churches are mostly am untaxed business.

My phrasing wasn't the best, but I'm not taking any moral ("what is good") stands here.

If we can solve all the issues with moderate and sustainable meat/fish/eggs/dairy consumption, or even vegetarianism, I fail to see the appeal going the extra mile and going full vegan (unless we go into a moral argument but I don't think it's the point here), knowing that it most likely requires closer monitoring for deficiency. I might be wrong, but to me it seems to be the path of least resistance.

I don't have time to look into it longer, but typing "enough resources for vegan world" in google gives me these. Either I chose very poor keywords, or veganism isn't the messiah that'll save us all. I tend to think that moderation is the key in pretty much any domain.

"lamp" as in "oil lamp" or "candle" in general.
In my mind, the best "dumb" phone is something like the iPhone SE.

Aside from the issue of limited options, traditional dumb phones contain junk like seriously insecure baseband processors, shadow SMS commands, carrier bloatware that does god knows what, BREW, and J2ME. They're often slow and cheaply-made.

If you're concerned about time management, then you have a few options:

- Improve your self-discipline and impulse control, eliminate FOMO. This will pay dividends in your life.

- Uninstall any app you absolutely do not require. In the latest versions of iOS you can uninstall many of the apps the device comes with.

- Configure Screen Time(tm) and Downtime(tm) under Settings->Screen Time.

- Configure Restrictions under the Settings app. Make them as draconian as you want and set up a complicated passcode.

The problem isn't the phone, it's you.
I have a question though. Have you ever had a bad trip on psychedelics?
The closest analogy to that seems to be an episode of psychosis. The enthusiasm for psychedelics seems to drop significantly for anyone who has had one of those.
Sam Harris wrote about his experience with it in Waking Up. He had numerous good experience with it, a good setting and state of mind but yet he still had a bad trip and it has stuck with him ever since, like “a door left ajar” in his words.

ECC Server RAM can be found dirt cheap on ebay, since enterprises use it and toss the stuff on a regular basis. You could easily fine 128Gb of ECC DDR4 for like $800. If you find an older (but still extremely powerful) Xeon that takes DDR3, you can get the stuff for pennies on the dollar. It's also quite easy to run a hackintosh on Xeons, if that floats your boat.

Open source software is infrastructure, not a commodity. Anyone has access to build on top of it. There is no question that open source enables enormous amounts of commerce, probably more so than equivalent closed-source software would. In that way, open source very much does make money in the same way that highways and airports make money.

I don't think Eckhart Tolle is mentally ill at all. There's nothing wrong with being like Echkart. But I just admitted to taking psychedelics, so maybe people think I'm mentally ill now :-) To clarify, I'm not much like Echkart: those same people would think I am doing "well": i work in SF in tech, I make 200k+, pretty normal. That's "good", while Echkart is "bad". it's a bit silly to me.

I have heard before (can't remember where) that a lot of companies won't donate to a project, but would gladly pay for "marketing" if the project simply listed companies that donated to them.

The couple places I found some it was about $570-$860 per 64Gb memory module, so ~$2280 to ~$3450. NewEgg is having a sale, looks like real street is about $2000 if the modules they carry are compatible. But officially, for RAM upgrade, the iMac Pro is not user-serviceable, you have to take it to a service center to get the memory upgraded -- and if you go to Apple, they will probably not install 3rd party RAM.
I know it was very popular, but 1940 was not that long ago. We're comparing it to eating meat which humans have been doing for at least tens of thousands of years. You also need to eat something, while some cultures smoke more than others, no one needs to smoke to survive.
Writing an emulator is not really embedded programming (the target often qualifies as an embedded environment but the host can be any random desktop computer).

It's definitely possible to write an emulator without unsafe code. Here's a toy gameboy emulator I wrote a while ago in Rust without any unsafe code: https://github.com/simias/gb-rs

Here's a very incomplete PSX emulator with only a single unsafe (which might not even be necessary anymore, I haven't updated the code in a while): https://github.com/simias/rustation

Most of the value of a real estate agent is after getting an accepted offer.
You haven't got the slightest idea of my background but rest assured it's rather the opposite of "well off", coming from a small village in the middle of literally nowhere in Germany.

Maybe because of that we're holding values and standards like "do no evil" high, because there are more important things than money.

I can't afford a house in a decent area either, but I'm pretty sure I won't fuck up lives with my job. And I'm still making enough money to support my family and keep everything going.
> good old C has uint16_t

Firstly, no, good old C doesn't. These things are a rather new addition (C99). In 1999 there was decades of good old C already which didn't have int16_t.

It is implementation-defined whether there is an int16_t; so C doesn't really have int16_t in the sense that it has int.

> It's funny because C opted to leave the number of bits machine dependent in the name of portability, but that turns out to have the opposite effect.

Is that so? This code will work nicely on an ancient Unix box with 16 bit int, or on a machine with 32 or even 64 bit int:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
int i;
char a[] = "abc";
for (i = 0; i < sizeof a; i++)
putchar(a[i]);
putchar('\n');
return 0;
}

Write a convincing argument that we should change both ints here to int32_t or whatever for improved portability.
I think doing the argument of "open source vs business focused" is incorrect. I would just make the comparison of "business focused vs not business focused". If it is open source or not, that is just a detail of the business strategy.

One of the main problem that we technologist fail at is that a lot of the times we assume technology == product. When we do this, we completely overlook all the necessary infrastructure and processes that we need to have in place to capture the value that the technology provides. We need customer success to guide the customer through a continuous successful implementation, marketing to very clearly articulate value propositions that change in different verticals, a sales team to capture the value and turn it into dollars consistently, support to listen to the customer when things go wrong and hold their hand through the fixes or workaround, lawyers to prepare support contracts and cover procurement requirements, hr, etc etc. I could go on forever.

I disagree that there are not examples of companies that show how to make money from open source. Beyond the obvious examples like "RedHat is a public company" and "MySQL sold to Sun", I can think of an absurd amount of businesses whose secret sauce is ElasticSearch. I would argue, that even though Elastic is a public company, they have not been capturing all the value they have brought. Although there are consulting companies like EnterpriseDB and CitusDB around projects like PostgreSQL, thinking that "consulting" is the one and only business model around monetizing an open source database is a gross over simplification that glosses over models that are evolving in various other areas, for example the one Jetbrains is doing with IntelliJ (basically a subscription service now).

I can look at the current top 100 posts of HNs and point out quite a few of successful businesses that would not have been where they are right now without open source existing in its current form.
While in this state, what kind of thoughts/feelings run through your mind ?

Ask HN: Good command line psychotherapy programs?
I'm working on a story in which a computer programmer creates a therapeutic command-line-type program for people to use while on retreats. (I say command-line-type because it is largely textual and therefore cognitively aimed.)

Do you know of any command line programs that ask users questions towards a therapeutic end? (Something like, though hopefully better than, emacs' "M-x doctor.") Do you have any ideas you would suggest were you asked to contribute to a project like that? (E.g., a particular coding language; a particular interface; etc.)

Thanks.

Another great book is the US Army Special Forces Medical Handbook. I have an ancient copy, but the following link looks to be it:

The Special Forces handbook has a wealth of field medicine for nearly every scenario from combat trauma to gynecology to dental care, as they and Civil Affairs personnel are out providing medical care to indigenous men, women, and children (when they aren't killing them).

You can find free, legal PDF copies online with a little Googling. Preferably, get the most recent revision as I've been told it's been updated substantially since the IQ/AF wars.

Edit: The title appears to have been updated to "Special Operations Forces Medical Handbook".

All software is designed to not make money. Duplication of software is free by definition, so the value of software is essentially free unless it is paired with something that is not duplicatable and thus more valuable. A legal license, a physical product, consulting, support, a website, those are all non-duplicatable.

Nvidia's new AI can turn any primitive sketch into a photo-realistic masterpiece
I purchased my first home in 2017. I absolutely would not have known half of what to do without my agent. In retrospect there are some things that he swept under the rug that I'm paying for now, but all of the paperwork and having someone who knew what to ask for was invaluable. If I was left to my own devices I would have made some probably very stupid offers and lost the chance at my property. This might just be because there is another agent on the other end, but the whole system isn't exactly beginner friendly.
They're saying that 1000 was also a choice on the multiple choice test
As someone who has bought a couple of houses, a buyer's agent mostly provides convenience because they can access the property just as easily as the listing agent.

While agent fees usually run in the thousands of USD, probably the larger source of tacked-on fees is on the mortgage side, especially when the buyer does not have the 20% down.

So not sure if transferring more of the fee load to buyers will help move real estate. After all, except for strong seller's markets or when shopping for a specific type of home, the seller usually has more incentive to sell their home than a buyer has to buy it.

Regarding selling, I'm not sure this development is the realtor kill-shot - I would argue outfits such as Opendoor (convenience) or even Redfin (eliminate realtor fees) probably will inflict more damage to a realtor's income.

Because selling a house is a 100x greater PITA than buying.
This may lead to banks and realtors colluding. Instead or the current model we'll get realtor/banks buying properties that go up for sale. Then the realtor/banks will upgrade the cost to a 50% markup. That will of course be after flippers fix the house and other things. But in general, we're see the rich buying out the poor.

And that model will be 100% legal.
