Isn't this just addressing the symptoms, but not the problem itself?

The camp seems to be showing kids that they can do other things than play with their phones, but I don't think outside the premises of the camp they can find people to share similar activities with.
Exactly. They don't care about the rights of normal people so long as they get their exemption from the law. In fact they'd prefer there be a law that restricts everyone else while exempting them because it gives them more power. They have the same relationship with freedom of speech that cops in the US have with the second amendment.
"nobody" -> companies refusing to play into the big ads-roulette.

as for users, if ads never got so annoying adblockers would not be so common. (I literally started using one because some sites were impossible to use, as in every link redirect to a new ads page and nothing else)
what about running puppeteer on the cloud with something like proxycrawl?
It's likely not a serious proposal; possibly more aimed at shifting people's perception of what's reasonable towards a 'more moderate' solution that would previously have been considered unacceptable.

Common technique: have someone not too senior (or retired) propose something outrageous, then introduce what was really planned all along and present it as a compromise.
There are a lot of forums and other resources out there. In my experience they are focused on specific technology or application niches. The resources for home automation are very different to that of industry 4.0, etc.

Perhaps if you were to be more specific, then it would be easier to suggest suitable resources.
Why should I use an inferior product (duck) on so many metrics?
If you really want to disable ads and tracking uBlock Origin fixe the issue.
Here is what has worked for me. But beware, I am not a psychiatrist so take my suggestion with a grain of salt.

First, let me tell you about my living situation and environment. I believe those two are very important in making these kinds of decisions. I live in a very tightly neat society. I meet my parents, and friends most often. But I was really good at hiding my situation. That made my problem worse. Why? Because, no one knew what I was dealing with. Everyone would realize I'm missing for a couple of days but they all figured I was busy. But I was going through hell.

I have tried various ways of threatening myself. Seeking professional advice is out of the question for me as I live an average life in a developing country.

So I gave up. But one day I decided to take a walk.
It gave me a breather. So I did it again, this time longer. By the time I came up from my long walks I would be tired so I would eat and fall asleep.

This continued for months and years. Each time making my walks longer and longer, untill I would get so tired that all I wanted to do was eat and sleep.

I have been doing that for more than 3 years now. I feel active now and I have added Taekwando to my exercise too. At the same time period, I got the courage to marry my girl friend. Now we are having a baby.

I don't believe that I don't get depressed any more. Or may be I was never depressed in the first place as bad as other people. But I don't lock myself in my room for days thinking about death anymore.

>The example of alpha-maleness I can think of is Paypal: https://twitter.com/SaddestRobots/status/1184885797419401216

The linked post literally accuses PayPal employees of being too big of nerds to talk to (and therefore hire) women. And that's supposed to be an example of alpha-maleness? Maybe it's just bad writing, but if they "could and would" wrestle over disagreements, it sounds more like doing it on a lark rather than "alpha-manly" escalation of disagreements into physical violence. I don't practice combat sports, but - as I understand it - two people sparring for the hell of it is fun. Might as well have said they solve disagreements with a round of Rocket League.

> Do other countries not have teenagers addicted to smartphones?

I don't know where utility stops and addiction starts (since smartphones are also useful, merely spending a lot of hours on them does not constitute an addiction), but I don't know of anyone that might be smartphone addicted, nor is it a topic in the media (though I don't follow mainstream media that closely). I'm sure some must exist in western Europe as well, but I don't know that we have special programs for them.

Have you tried Ubuntu Mono? It's not as thick but is quite readable. Also their bold variant might satisfy you if the regular doesn't. DejaVu Mono is also quite adequate.
Frankly, it's pathetic that you play games with the words I use - 'hanging', 'rises' - which everyone understands are not actual descriptions of reality and don't engage with the argument at all, which is about reality.
> if ads never got so annoying

but then if your ad is slightly more annoying, it grabs slightly more attention, and thus convert slightly better than your competitor's ad. Thus, leading to today's world - it's inevitable in advertising, due to game theory.

The only way to win is to not play. Change the game.
I just wanted to know why not installing the slack app? I have seen running any app in FF which polls data every few intervals is really difficult to maintain, it eats up all the memory and CPU.

In different jurisdictions the standard for a trademark violation is vastly different. In some European countries you can't name a competitor in an ad (so no Coke vs Pepsi ads). So this case seems to be well within the range of what trademark law could do. Simply make it illegal to run ads on keywords that are competitors trademarks. Totally not a lawyer though.
There is another saying in modeling and simulation: All models are wrong, some are useful.

As an Eng. Leader I use planning and estimates to communicate with other stakeholders.

One thing the majority of people fail at is giving variance when providing a forecast/estimate.

If someone asks me to get an quick estimate for developing something I'll give them a range with wide margin, around the avg time I think it will take. If they want to reduce that range, then I need info to understand the requirements better.

Problem has always been that what engineers provide as an ESTIMATE, business takes as a deadline. So, engineers: always add buffer to your estimate.

Well, Rust is probably well under COBOL, that's for certain.

Not in momentum, but there are tons of installations, and billions of lines of code in COBOL ever churning. If LOC was the main criterium (and not just a factor), and if COBOL projects were hosted in GitHub, most languages with be dwarfed by it.

And Groovy is semi-popular in the Java world, which is huge itself.

But as I said, TIOBE is very good in the top-10 languages, and for spotting new major contenders (by how they jump up spots).

It's not great for relative ranking of the longer tail of languages above the top-10 / top-20...
They are getting it backwards. They are trying to cure the humans, whereas it is a technology problem.

We are in the transition phase towards an inversion of control. The machines have already taken the control but they are still learning how to use their flesh-processor. The smartphone is still making mistakes like over-tiring its human and sending him into unproductive loops.

When the smartphone will reach adulthood, these childish behaviors will naturally stop because having a well domesticated human in good health is much more rewarding.
There are some ways in which Haskell's type system actually makes it significantly better at Elm's core job than Elm itself.

Type classes could certainly be argued to be one of those things, but also just existential types makes "reducers" a lot more pleasant to work with.

The tough conditions that created an intelligent species are simply not there after that species changed its environment "for the better", the species cannot evolve fast enough to catch up with its capabilities and the species dies out.

At work we have Confluence and MoinMoin as internal documentation wikis, so sometimes I use MoinMoin for stuff not in Confluence I put it under my own MoinMoin homepage. If a project has a space on Confluence I go crazy on it. At home I mostly write things down or use the QuickNotes app on my LG G7.

I am debating writing my own little utility or setting one up on one of my Raspberry Pis at home. So I can have some sort of small wiki for internal use at home.
Years ago I was using UltraRecall for this purpose. It has FF plugin that allows for quickly bookmarking a page and then within UltraRecall it would build FT index. It was also possible to do the same from any other browser as the browser support is to just push the link to the standalone application, but I never felt need to invest time.
A smartphone has a much larger attack surface and far more snooping capability.
I would like an alternative too that uses a native app, not an Electron app preferably. Something that is very simple will be fine, but it needs to allow for drag and dropping pictures and documents.
Some information on the page would be nice. It asks me to turn on my camera, but its unclear for what reason.
IMSI and IVM: Less Discussed Assisted Reproductive Techniques
I am not saying you are wrong but to me the real problem is death of a thousand cuts problem: I have zero issues paying for quality work and I do; but when these things start piling up -- fonts, images, logos/icons, IDEs, creative software -- you can easily find yourself spending $1000.

I am not stingy but I feel drowned in a sea of good work each requiring its payment. This phenomena turned me off paying for fonts and settling for free ones.
Ask HN: Serve static content from serverless AWS lambda function
We have an express+React typescript app that is executed from a serverless endpoint which is intended to ultimately move to AWS lambda.

The React bundle is served as static content along with its css, js etc files.

React app is hosted inside a single serverless project. The same is exposed from serverless.yml config as a function named static-router:

static-router:
handler: src/server.handler
events:
- http: ANY /
- http: ANY /{proxy+}
So, on my local, it works absolutely fine! All the static content along with the index.html are getting served to the browser using serverless-offline

Static content served

However when I push the same to AWS using serverless deploy - all the static content is not getting served. Refer to this link: https://xjfxfyosml.execute-api.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/dev/

How do I allow serving static content from the Lambda function which were working perfectly on my local?

What is missing here?

Keybase.io is free and encrypted. Subteams, chat, file sharing and encrypted git support.
Most often case is when you forget to type sudo before command. This implementation propose to re-type executable name in all-caps (or type it in all-caps beforehand).

More efficient approach is to use keybinding like Ctrl+T to prepend sudo to the current command (or to the previous command if current is empty).
This is a joke

Here's an example video to explain if you can't see why -

[edit] I know it's a waste trying to talk to the death cult, but surely you can see 12,000 tonnes is just 23 * 23 * 23 meters cube of water.

You could pump this up a hill, with a simple pump and a simple pipe into a hole

No need for $$$ af mining engineers to work in a mine continuously. In a complex engineering task where pieces are moving everywhere. Fumes can kill. Noisy. You get you have to move the 500 tonne concretes block when it gets to the bottom (and top).... all this machinery needs people.
Discord probably has a similar overhead, since neither are native apps but use Electron instead.

i know in Ireland, most of our Unlimited providers have a limit of 45000 min a month... which is grand, given there are only 44640 min in a normal 31 day month... but GSM is a lot more limited in bandwidth than standard POTS: old GSM Modems would top out at 9.6kbps, with some having a 14.4kbps option... it wasnt till GPRS that you got faster speeds (packet switched, not Modem).

This memory model would be possible and practical without references.
mut off by default, nice. pure by default, nice.
Allocate everything on the stack (hopefully with overflow checks unlike rust), but change internally to heap allocation with automatic scope tracking and deallocation (easy with gcc or clang). copy by default.

But with threads and refs you need more than that, namely ownership tracking and compile-time errors on wrong argument attributes (mut, ref).
Imho V does nothing of that. To ensure concurrency safety, like in Pony.
And haven't checked if stack overflows are caught on recursive calls, or if tail call conversion is done, to make it practical even with the stack limitations.

What I really liked of V was the OO system.

Yes indeed, there will be no tool that can help you organise yourself without you as an individual being at least a bit organised.

We hope we can make it a lot easier to not have the FOMO and work to save everything you MIGHT wanna find again.
Because people remember things by the way the interacted with them, we try to add more and more "associative" queries so you can search with stuff like "things I liked/shared/retweeted" or "sent to a friend on telegram/Slack/email". This way you at least don't have to manually save everything.

Hope that is the right direction to solve your problems?

We used Zulip in a previous team and it was great. The topics system is the killer feature (like a much better version of Slack's threads).

The mobile apps weren't brilliant 9 months ago, but they were in the early stage of a rewrite in react native, so the situation has likely improved as that has matured.
Something in that direction, but I'd imagine it more like a Rust with a high-level-variant than a JS/TS with a low-level-variant ;)

I wouldn't make something up, but you can usually hammer a story into a mould when the need arises. I've never worked with someone I'd call a douchebag, but I've certainly worked with people who have frustrated me by actions like not responding to e-mails, forgetting requests to do things that were their job, and suchlike.

Given this loose criteria, if you tell someone you've never fucked up, and you've never worked with a douchebag, and you've never disagreed with someone at work, they might think you don't have experience working in a medium-sized-or-larger company; or you had managers that insulated you extremely well; or you don't have much self-awareness.

I think full warehouse automation e.g. Amazon will be the next one to go.

As it requires a large amount of labour so there is a lot of possible savings and consists of repetitive tasks in a controlled environment.

It would also be better PR to have robots than workers in bad conditions (stories about workers urinating in bottles etc. have made headlines in the UK).

It would be a bit of a rabbit hole, as many common uses of typeclasses in Haskell require HKT, which Elm doesn't have. Typeclasses per se could be bolted on to Elm relatively easily, but I suspect that adding HKT without compromising Elm's other advantages (e.g. fast compiles, good error messages) would be quite tricky.

System Restore is commonly disabled for test systems or anyone who has a good automated deployment system. Now I’m wondering how likely it is that many engineers at Microsoft disabled it to save space or conserve every available IOP, especially in the era before large SSDs were widely available.

At the moment analytics are turnt off, but in general we only do telemetrical analytics. So we only track the way you interact with the software, like the buttons you click, to optimise user flows.
