Ask HN: How do you spend those long build times?
Since I changed my last job, at my new work place an incremental build (1 liner change) taken on an average of 8 to 10 minutes.
I used to bug my neighbor during these times (often hoping the last change solves the problem in hand).

Recently I have been crusading for some changes to the build system, without any effect on management I am kind of starting to lose hope on that charity project of mine (I would rather work on my personal projects). For a while I even tried working on my own stuffs in this while, however my brain's capacity to context switch is somewhat limited, is what I have realized.
Also there is only so much coffee that you can drink in a day!

I was hoping to get some advise or some experiences on this topic.

Er how do you get past "meldung" then. When I last had the pleasure of experiencing the dutch job market, the Vreemdelingenpolitie (lit. foreigner police) and the myriad other amptenare (term of affection for govt officals) made it impossible to not have a verified, permanent address.
You don't need to work remote to feel miserably lonely.

I moved to Canada with my wife, I consider myself lucky because I have two couples of friends who also moved here. Apart from that, nothing.

People where I work don't even say bye when they leave. This is insanely different from the country I came from, to say people there make a point of striking up conversations and caring about you doesn't make justice, it is just part of life. The worst part is that I am basically surrounded by fellow countrymen (1/3 of the team) but they already conformed to the norm here.

This has affected our marriage since we don't have that healthy time away with friends that heals any bad mood between us.
Go is my favorite language but I do agree that Windows support has always felt like an afterthought.
> This is a cross-platform file interface, and we've had those for years. What we tend to discover is that if you do write something precisely correct on each platform, you lose a lot of value in the cross-platform bit.

This is similar to the pros/cons for using a mobile framework like React Native, where you get a lot of productivity in cross platform design but you lose some of the precision compared to developing for each platform natively.

If you need that precision, then you need to use something native. It is simply a tradeoff of business needs. Do you need cross platform productivity or per-platform precision? If you need precision, then reconsider your engineering tools.

I don't understand the claim that work relationships are inherently non-personal or inauthentic. I have legitimately good friends at work who do favors for each other, look out for each other, hang out outside of work sometimes, etc. I keep in touch with friends from past jobs.

We spend a very large percentage of waking hours at work and see a lot of faces. I really enjoy being friendly with those people and having legitimate, authentic, relationships with them.
I think you can turn off cloud back-ups if you want. That's what I use as well. Also -some- cloud backups don't work on it, if the tenant doesn't allow it. My Azure tenant does not, so you have to reset everything up if you get a new phone. It was a painful experience, since me and the main tenant holder both got new phones at the same time. Had to contact Microsoft directly.
If you do not mind your phone contacts are shared with the app [1], Microsoft Authenticator is fine.

It makes sense if you can repair it with a few $0.15 capacitors and an hour of your time. I repair my electronics when they fail, and it saves me a lot of money. Somehow, it's become cool just to throw perfectly serviceable stuff in a landfill rather than watch a YouTube video and learn a little soldering.
Right. I'm saying the library should set a default timeout by default, which you could then change if needed.

Of course, whatever it chose would inevitably be wrong for many scenarios, it would be less wrong than defaulting to waiting forever.
Not to cause a combinatorial explosion, but...

MFA is a power tool for extra security. It deliberately sacrifices usability and integrity for security. If you want something more usable, you don't want MFA.

Really though, I think "one-time passcodes" is the wrong escape hatch because it is actually just password auth, not a second factor. The way it ought to be is that you hook up multiple devices. (e.g. like having both a phone Authenticator app and a USB key.)

Wow, that's amazing, a lot of time spent on that game :) Thanks for a great game!

Your coordinate system make sense, and the 3D engine/physics was pretty good for something running on CPU only. (If I remember there was only one or two non-oval tracks)
Well... What I said is kind of the ideal world. The reasonable value of the stock is the time-discounted expectation of future profits. The actual value is heavily influenced by what each person thinks everyone else thinks. So for the price to drop, people don't have to think it will affect future profits at all. They just have to think that other people will think that the price should drop.
I don't think the windows vs everything else is the main point of this article. I think it is just an example of a design trend, and even within that section of the article the author mentions unix specific design flaws of go file handling.
That was me. If I could go back in time 3.5 years and make a different decision, I would! Unfortunately I don't have time to do a full rewrite today. (I'm the only developer/designer on IH.) But I do try to make regular incremental improvements around performance.
I think this post summarizes to,

- I don't like the file-related packages

- What's up with this random 7 star library having a lot of transitive dependencies

- Rust for life

- In summation, Go is the worst
My parents are from villages just outside that area. They emigrated to NZ 42 years ago.

I spent about three and a half years in NL, which was five years ago. I worked in Arnhem doing electrical testing. I lived in Nijmegen for two years. I definitely found it friendlier and living in a smaller city a lot easier on my mental health, not to mention financially easier. I found Rotterdam to be a bit of a concrete jungle.

In the immediate term, you have shelter right now, which is extremely important. Use that while you find more secure shelter.

I'm just so gutted I'm living on the other side of the world, or I'd help you in a more personal way.
IMHO one of the hardest parts of DMing is building tension and a sense that there is real danger, without just bringing out enemies that can completely roll over the players. Ideally the group should survive, but constantly feel threatened and like they "just barely" made it through a story's climax.

In other words those victories need to be earned, which is a fine balancing act since dice rolls are random and bad things happen.

It can also lead to awesome situations when the dice go extremely well, everything lines up, and the players feel like legit bad-asses. It is the DM's job to create situations where that can happen!
The thing is he's from the UK but living in the Netherlands now, and apparently hasn't worked in a normal job recently. I think he's not going to get any help from the Dutch welfare systems.
Thank you! Added to the top :)
Shameless plug -- my company is working on solving this problem also, but unfortunately we weren't mentioned in the article.

We talk with a lot of remote workers, freelancers, consultants, and self-employed workers, and the common theme behind all our conversations is that it's lonely working from home or on the road.

We hold Work Clubs in coffee shops to give people an opportunity to work together for a few hours while getting to know other people and get out of the house. We support local small businesses and are building an IRL community for remote workers. Mental health is a major problem with working remote and we've found this is a good way to help break the loneliness.

Always glad to see interest in SeaMonkey spread! I am writing this from an instance installed on Slackware. I use it as my daily driver at work, switching to Firefox occasionally when I need to sync with things I do on other machines.

I don't really use it often but I love that it still comes with Composer for WYSIWYG html. It's been a while but when I used it a lot about 5-7 years ago it wrote really clean, standard compliant html which made it great for quickly prototyping look and feel before diving into writing any code for new pages/sites.

Having used the stock Slackware version, which is usually just a bit behind, I'm excited to see what "our biggest release in a few years and incorporates many changes and fixes from the underlying platform code" looks like!
True, but I can imagine a world where AI DMs are in vogue, and are curated not for their one-size-fits-all perfection, but for their aesthetic or functional qualities. The hardest thing to capture will be truly surprising off-screen storytelling moments that role playing games enable. Otherwise, you can probably optimize for 'challenging combat,' 'fun puzzles,' 'social interaction' etc...

Have a hard-nosed, Old School Revival (OSR) group who enjoys hack and slash dungeon crawls? Great, all you need is an AI who picks hard but fair challenges, describes dire and interesting settings, and keeps rewarding moments (in this case, hard-fought victories) coming frequently.

Like to tell stories instead? Seed a plot with a laid-back AI who leaves lots of room to breathe, throws lots of skill checks at crafty players, and excels at creating complex personalities and interactions via a cast of interesting NPCs.

Rimworld is an simulation/tactics/base-building game that offers more traditionally game oriented "AI Directors," but the different kinds of directors offer different prioritization over moments of peace, intense challenge, battle, etc., based on just a few settings. Even blowing out that settings list a bit more could create interesting results.

> Mental health trigger warning: this might unintentionally make an atheist believe in God and Jesus. If you have a background with religious trauma, avoid this post. It is weird stuff.

I can't read the rest of the article because my eyes have rolled all the way to the back of my head.

But I read it anyway. Your warning was for naught since the post makes very little sense.

It defines God as literally everything, and Jesus as a vague notion of communication, thus if you believe in communication you can live forever. Somehow this is compatible with orthodox Christian teachings, just because the author says so. This is like when Unitarians call themselves "true Christians".

>It's 4'33" of performed silence, where the performance is actually the incidental noise of the auditorium it is in.

That's an incorrect way to view it actually. 4'33" copyrightable essence is actually represented by the active production of its scoring. I.e. nothing. The background sound is not what makes it copyrightable. You can go ahead and sit at a piano for the length of the composition all you want, wherever you want, and you'll still be publically performing 4'33".

The rather humorous outcome, if one asks me, is that anyone who writes in 4 beats of silemce into a score should be violating copyright if we're going to be consistent.
He presented them as typical examples, not as issues of such importance as to independently make him off the "wild ride."

He also compared them to alternatives that he found favorable, which specifically addresses the idea that alternatives are worse.

It could be reasonable to disagree with the content of his argument, but it didn't have either of these structural problems.
Here's the only quick source I could find about the battery being capped while rooted:
https://www.xda-developers.com/sampwnd-root-galaxy-s8-snapdr...

I'm pretty sure this was implemented across their phones after the Galaxy Note 7 debacle. I think the idea was that anyone who tried to root their devices and avoid Samsung remotely deactivating them would at least be prevented from charging the battery to full, which could cause the battery swelling/overheating/fire-catching problem.

I'll have to do more digging on the quote I remember about Samsung phones physically blowing a circuit somewhere if they detect they've been rooted.

As people here suggest I would try finding any kind of low income job first. For what it takes.

Than when you sort things out and have stable living situation (have place to live and food to eat) you can get back to tech - start attending meetups and maybe try applying jobs via this personal contacts.

I don't know how churches work in Netherlands, in Poland you would get some help - it really depends from people. If you won't reach out for help, you won't get it.

https://darebee.com is another good site. They have lots of videos explaining various exercises. Just make sure you start with the entry-level exercises to slowly build up your strength.

I'd even recommend to not worry so much about timing your workouts as this causes too much stress, just focus on the exercises themselves in the beginning to make sure you do them properly.
I've got FIOS, with a dmarc box that provides a hot Ethernet jack. But I am spending the extra for a 'business class' FIOS link, which I suspect is how I have a hot Ethernet jack on the demarc.

So the only 'vendor' provided hardware is the FIOS dmarc box that connects to the fiber line. Verizon's awful router that they normally supply sits, unplugged, next to the dmarc box in my basement.

The dmarc then connects to a Linux PC that is my firewall/router box for the rest of the internal network. That box runs Slackware and my own custom firewall setup. It contains four Ethernet cards, the first is a point-to-point link to the FIOS demarc, the second connects to the internal Ethernet, the third connects to the wireless AP, and the fourth is point-to-point to the VPN box that $job deploys to allow telework (this is because I don't trust $job's VPN box to not attempt to spy on me, so it is also fully isolated via those custom firewall rules from any other network device on my network).

Every device on the inside that is not 'portable' is hardwired in (Ethernet). I.e., no 'wireless' for devices that stay put. And 'portable' items with ethernet jacks (laptops) also spend as much time hardwired as possible.

For wireless (phone, tablets), there is an AP connected to the Ethernet card for wireless.

Ask HN: Does it help moderators if we report kittens?
Hi everyone,

Ok, it's Friday and the question will sound very silly but I was wondering what the community would think about it.

You might be aware that big social medias platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter..) are getting their content moderated by farms of people, causing a lot of mental health issues. It's pretty sad to see people being payed with minimum wages with no decent working conditions and no health support, especially from companies promoting the fantastic working conditions. You can find a lot of content online about this topic.

I assume the content reaching their screen is the one that is reported by the community. So, if we all report one or two content a day, something very cute to see, will we make moderator life better by dilluting the quantity of horror they are meant to see?

I think about these 3 scenarios, I feel the number 2 is the most plausible.

1. This will just push them to decrease the time allowed to moderate a content, so making their conditions worse.
2. Platforms can easily use algorithms to prioritise content that really needs to be moderated. Also by checking the success rate of "content reported"/"content violating guidelines" per user can help.
3. Too much content to moderate, the moderators are seeing less horror and more kittens.

My point here is not to start chaos, but find a way to push these big corporation to offer decent working conditions to moderators.

If you have an internet connection:

Either post on Craigslist or walk in to small business with the following offers:

- I will build you a website for (small sum)
- I will build your facebook page for (small sum)
- I will setup your Twitter account for (small sum)

On and on and on until you can generate a few hundred dollars. The world is a VASTLY different place when you have zero money versus when you have a little money. A little money is a bed or a warm shower or a new set of clothes for a job interview or a warm healthy meal or some advil for a headache.

Avoid trying to solve being homeless and not having a job and not knowing about the future and and and......focus on solving the key challenge right in front of you: lack of resources (money).

Good luck
As somebody who cycled Market Street every day for a few years, I beg to differ. Private cars were always my biggest safety worry. Per the MTA, it was 200-400 cars per hour during morning commutes. That's half what's on Mission, but it was still plenty to contend with.
I just recently dealt with a timeout issue in requests: I was setting the timeout to 1 but it took 10 seconds for the request to fail. It turns out that the timeout does not apply to the name resolver and the name lookup was timing out. So the default system-level timeout was 10 seconds.
Never? It’s hasn’t recently mostly because the city has been changing traffic flow in Market exactly to reduce car traffic. They put in dedicated bus and taxi lanes, then mandatory turns off of Market. All of that reduced regular traffic, exactly so that banning cars didn’t have a huge impact. We could to the same thing in other parts of the city.
They persist because they allow some people to create extreme monetization strategies, which feeds into lobbying congress for further expansion of copyright.
It has already been done (even though it is only a conjecture):

A great many things like image classification initially look like they need AGI, but you can make something useful without it.

At least since 2.0 (haven't used Couch before), the docs have always recommended to only use small documents in a CouchDB and to use an external storage for large files.

D&D isn't even the most free form RPG out there, there are plenty of systems that run the gamut from "highly tactical and rules based" to "almost freeform collaborative story telling."

D&D at least has well defined combat rules. I've ran games that use cinematic combat rules, where the books have suggestions and some math, but a lot of things are left up in the air with the general guidance of "whatever is awesome."

So there aren't rules for shooting grenades out of mid air, but it made for an awesome climax to the story as the team raced onto the escape ship and the hanger bay door was slamming down, so of course I allowed it.

I was playing one game where we the players objected to how the military was prepping for an AI invasion so we rebelled, next session the DM brought in a giant map and it turned into a base building tower defense session.

D&D can go off the rails, other systems can go off the rails then continue until things are off planet!
