The first half of this article explains some physiological reasons behind something I've noticed often: the more someone feels defensive and defenseless, the more arrogant they become, and the more hardened they become in their thoughts and opinions, no matter how wrong. So that if someone is worked up enough and feeling cornered emotionally, they will die on the hill that grass is not green if need be. This is why it's especially important for parents and spouses to be kind, calm, rational, patient, and loving at all times.

The second half has valuable advice for more than just spouses, although it's mostly talking about divorce. But also employee/employer relationships, friendships, and any other type: if you are not actually trying to make sure you fully understand the other person's position, you are working against unity with them.

But I have to disagree with the article's final word of advice:

> Spend less effort trying to control your partner's thinking and more trying to understand and appreciate differences in your perspectives.

Not that this is wrong, but that there's another step after it which must carefully be practiced: when you know for sure that you're right, and that the other person is objectively wrong in this situation, it's important to stand firm on what you must do, and not waver. All without losing kindness, compassion, patience, an attentive ear and everything else the article mentions.

St. Edith Stein once said something like without truth, there is no charity, and without charity, there is no truth. I see time and time again people make this very simple mistake: forfeit truth in order to preserve charity. But the two are not incompatible and never can be.

A person will say, "well in order to be accepting to this person, I must be willing to accept that maybe they are correct and I am incorrect," and they will stray from their objective certainty. That's why I'm not a fan of the quote in this article, "Certainty itself is an emotional state, not an intellectual one." It either states or strongly implies that there is no objective truth, depending on the author's meaning. But there is objective truth, truth that is true no matter if nobody is alive to perceive it or not.

And when we stray from that truth, we abandon our only hope of helping people out of their own self-deceit and delusions. I have seen many people join in the delusions of others in order to comfort them or calm them down or give them hope in a false reality. This is not truly charitable behavior.

True charity, true selfless and sacrificial love for another, always wants to help them out of their self-destruction, which always comes from self-deceit. And this requires that we remain in the truth. A tree cannot help birds of the air if it uproots itself and tries to follow them, it needs to stand firmly planted.

Is it possible that we're overvaluing decorum? While the battles going on over ideas on social media are base --- there is still progress. Ideas are being put through the grinder and being put on display for all sorts of people who might never have had that opportunity a few short years ago.

It's quite possible, that while it's hard to watch, it is just the growing pains of a whole new chapter in the evolution of human thought. One that isn't restricted to sophisticated and polished elites.

Maybe the real problem is our aversion to an all out brawl, rather than the fight itself. It's possible that younger people will just be able to deal with it better -- learn how to better cope with and ignore distractions like trolls etc.

The new Nuc9 series have some very serious options but they cost a lot and seem to just be feeding off the Nuc name. They are monsters. They are also about the same volume as 10 traditional Nucs (0.5L versus 5L), though have a built in power supply, which is a huge upgrade imho.
Im not aware that they are particularly limited with what can be plugged in as an external GPU, but you don't see many people raving about that option. It seems to come with glitchy behaviour and continual irritation - I haven't got first hand experience.

There's a site called https://puttylike.com/ that calls it a "multipotentialite" and in the gal's Ted talk she makes us out to be victims. That, I don't like- but I do like the premise of most of what she's saying otherwise. Being a generalist only means you get to explore whatever's fancy today, and because you've defined yourself as eternally undefined, nobody generally cares.
The grandparent comment extended the conversation to all of China's actions. I think it's relevant to discuss the horrors the U.S. has enacted upon the world, if only for a practical reason.

That reason is that to understand how to solve problems elsewhere, you first need to understand how to solve the same type of problems in your neck of the woods. The U.S. spent the latter half of the 20th century and has continued since then exporting its way of doing things through military action. For example, I recently learned of Salvador Allende. He was a president of Chile that won a democratic election based upon his socialist campaign. He said what he was going to do and was elected by the people. The U.S. tried for years to thwart his election, and when he won, the U.S. directly supported, if not organized and enacted, a coup that ended in success, for the coup, and Allende taking his own life upon being surrounded. This is sickening. How can the U.S. and its people in good conscience decry other countries' actions when we do the same thing to other countries beyond our own borders? The U.S. still holds prisons that imprisons foreigners without charge and without cause. How can the U.S. decry China for imprisoning its own citizens? I am not supporting anything here. I am merely trying to explain that things matter and are connected, and you cannot view things with tunnel vision.

The other reason is one of perception. If the U.S. wants change in China and elsewhere, one needs to understand the political and social repercussions of one's own actions. This is called if you want to talk the talk, you must walk the walk. The U.S. primarily talks the talk while the rest of the world sees how the U.S. does not walk the walk. The U.S. does the very things it decries in another countries. This is very harmful.

Alas, Scott left. Normally we'd both have posted more prominently about that, but it happened at an especially difficult time and that simply wasn't possible. (He's fine, I'm fine, and we're fine, in case that suggested otherwise.)
They’re in a limbo because they don’t agree on what should happen. In the most recent real referendum (2012), a plurality slightly short of a majority wanted to maintain the status quo. But the rest were split: some wanted statehood, but the others wanted to be independent.

Note that Puerto Ricans are fully citizens. The island itself doesn’t have representation in Congress because it’s not a state. (Which is a legal thing that’s distinct from the people who live in the state! The “United States” isn’t just a name, it has legal significance.)

Encryption is an interesting development. There has never been a time in history when anything could be truly secured. Safes could always be defeated. Communication was never provably secure.

I'm opposed to any mandated weaknesses in encryption, but I also think a lot of the arguments opposing them are dogmatic and unconvincing.

That’s an odd distinction. Perhaps you judge your country firstly by how it treats its citizens, because you want to be treated well. But if it’s not your country, what’s the difference? Perhaps you live in a country that provides for your well-being by slaughtering and plundering all around the world. In that case your country is rather horrible. Objectively, the US actions in Iraq were far worse than China in Tianamen Square. In any case, China is obviously a horrible country (Uyghur treatment is just one example).
> Clearly there are upsides: some people are more comfortable with the suggested terminology.

Is there some study about that? The concept of people being offended by these terms itself sounds ridiculous and I have a very hard time to believe it, having at least a beginning of a proof would maybe help here.

> It sounds like your argument is not so much about beginners learning for the first time, but experienced people needing to learn a different word for a concept they already know. I'm fairly sure I can learn what "blocklist" means with minimal effort, but perhaps that's a difficult word for some people.

It just creates a balkanization in IT, both terms will be used simultaneously.

Ego is important because it allows you to seriously attempt problems that many people would consider beyond them.

If you genuinely believe that you can achieve something, you might be willing to sink many months of nonstop work into it despite zero tangible progress. Someone without that ego may not have the tolerance to last that long without progress while still believing it's a good use of time.

bringing people together is right, but it's not enough. you also have to set the tone, and block out hostility from the start.

one way to do that is to make friends with neighbors, one at a time. if there is a conflict, help solve that conflict friendly and peacefully. develop a reputation for a friendly atmosphere. have neighboorhood activities, for adults or children, work on causes such as cleaning up the neighborhood, fixing play ground equipment, helping neighbors with difficulties. effectively you need to build the community.

the thing is, this can only be done by people who live there, and the tools used are almost secondary. any chat room will do. the barrier to join is not a proof of address but a proof of goodwill, verified by an existing member.

It also says: "Parents cannot maximize cognitive and non-cognitive skills at the same time."

That's probably not unreasonable. An hour doing homework is an hour not doing basketball, for example.
I think it’s to allow companies to enforce official communication channels. Channels are official, chats are unofficial. I think it works but they should be on the same pane. I forget to check channels for days sometimes.
"What I learned from losing $200 million"

The increase in quality of life of millions of people in China is probably civilizations greatest recent achievement, and something makes many many people far from China happy and optimistic for the future. You are correct in pointing out that there are many powerful people in the big democracies, who crave authoritarian power and wield it brutally when they can, but they are resisted, though by fewer people than we would like to admit.
It is starting to seem that in many places authoritarians are consolidating power, in democracies and in China. Some people are concerned by this because they see it encroaching on their power and privilege. Others fear first for the people of China, and then for all of us, that a rise in authoritarian power in China will fuel its rise everywhere.

Seeing all this happen, you have to ask - how much were the people lifted out of poverty, and how much did they climb out when Deng Xiaopeng took a little of the pressure off their necks

Why is a site that has been around for 13 years announcing an abrupt closure with a mere 10 days notice? If this is due to money (like they said) then they could have predicted this significantly earlier and chosen to notify the community with a more reasonable time frame.
> Nothing to be scared of, respected yes.

That's more accurate. I was probably overselling my fear of the saw. Mostly I find it to be more of a bother than it's worth for what I've been doing.

Really, a miter saw would be the power tool that would have been useful for me given the project's I've been working on recently. But also cutting a board to length isn't hard and it's kind of nice to see yourself get better making square cuts.

Edit:

Also thanks for the tips. Appreciate it.
Yes because before the internet there was never division - like actual separate water fountains, door that you had to go in based on the color of your skin, schools, redlining, and racial covenants.

Ask HN: Modern, accessible draggable list?
I'm working on a side project that allows people to reorder items in a long list¹. I've been using html5draggable, which works fine. But I don't want to neglect accessibility in my project.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find an accessible draggable list library out there except for Dragon Drop (https://github.com/schne324/dragon-drop) which is based on the old Dragula library and isn't usable on mobile². Before I try modding together my own thing, I wondered if anyone on HN knew of an alternative. Things I've tried so far:

- html5sortable

- SortableJS

- drag-on-drop

- Draggable JS

- Draggabilly

- table-dragger

² Specifically it's slow, and dragging an item causes the page to scroll
aside from the fact that China was going to get Hong Kong one way or another I think there was a naive belief in the power of democracy infecting and changing the authoritarian government for the better.

Which I suppose this naive belief is part of the fear that is causing the current situation.
CRDTs in a Nutshell
> Americans didn't kill a million Iraqi people, the taliban and loads of other groups did.

The Taliban killed approximately zero Iraqis (you may be confusing al-Qaeda with the Taliban, and the group that after the war temporarily adopted the name “al-Qaeda in Iraq”, before becoming the Islamic State—that erupted into a major force because of the American mismanagement of the post-invasion occupation, most notably the almost entirely unmanaged demobilization of the security services—with al-Qaeda itself. Americans killed a lot themselves, as well as launching an unprovoked war of aggression which produced the context in which many others were killed beyond those Americans killed directly. But all of those deaths are America's fault and responsibility, even those that are also someone else’s fault and responsibility.
“New outlook” on “insider fast channel” update settings has gotten pretty good in the last few months.
Shaming someone hardly ever changes their mind; it can change their behavior, but usually only their public behavior.

>> The video of George Floyd is powerful because it shows us the truth.

> Isn't the video in question is an example of shaming - the police?

The people whose minds were changed by the video were people horrified by it, not people shamed[1].

> Why do you think police, FBI and the rest works hard to bar public access to ALL their activities?

Because all this shame hasn't changed their mind a single bit, it just makes them want to hide what they are doing.

----

1: Most police already knew shit like this happens, and most of them are already ashamed about it. However, they also know that their reports better include whatever makes the department the least legally liable, rather than the truth. Reporting a truth that causes the department to have to settle a lawsuit for more than they thought they could is the #1 career limiting move a cop can make.

Reporting bad behavior of coworks is a tough call to make in the best of situations. Mix in the following and it takes people of unusually strong moral-fiber to do it:

1. You will get fewer hours of OT (a de-facto pay-cut)

2. You will be passed over for promotion down the road because of it.

3. The coworker you reported on is very unlikely to be fired so you will be working along side them, quite possibly for many years.

No I can see why it works for the situation you are in. It's sort of artisinal work in this case. Plus the act of moderation and just speech online is nearly 0 steps removed from they original techie ideals of exchanging and encouraging good ideas.

Plus its HN, so the mission is matched by positive history within the community.

Part of the reason I ask is because the handling of the mental costs of such a job is not something covered in the content/research on moderation. We know that employees at firms get PTSD for example, but that's also from staring at the highest levels of radioactive content. Those people need therapy.

For something much milder (hopefully), what do mods do to make peace with things and not lose their minds?
Exclusivity has been one of the primary driving factors in most major social web companies... and then at some point they just open the floodgates. I think, barring the extreme freedom of speech side like the chans, a good analysis and use of exclusivity would be a great way to do things. What gives you the "ticket in" is another topic that would take a lot of thinking and would depend on the site and it's goals.
I think it's likely they are two different types of humility in Feynman's case, whether it's external vs internal humility or problem solving vs social humility or what have you. It does seem to me that Feynman had a humility in how he approached problems that was bolstered by confidence, or perhaps lack of social humility.

The advice he gives in the letter is to be humble in how one approaches which problems to solve. I think it's good advice.
Type checking doesn't seem to be major bottleneck at all. The major issues seem to be

2) generic monomorphization producing vast amount of IR

Can pulsar users here talk about exactly once message delivery from the consumer side? I use Kafka and needed a cache based on incoming events. But if the consumer crashes it's not easy to pick up from exactly where it left off without manually committing offsets which hurts performance. There's also some hand waving Kafka gossip that it's hard to commit offsets right. Any insight here is greatly appreciated.
This is new guidance, which I'm glad they issued. These kinds of covers worked on previous MBP models with no trouble, though.
However, when the behavior turns criminal, with destruction of property, private or public, violence beatings and full-on anarchy, well, there is no society on earth and across history where that is legal or even acceptable behavior.

Sure Americans have always thought it was acceptable to spend trillions destroying property and killing people as long as it was done on foreign soil “to bring democracy”.
