>There is a Sapir-Whorfian assumption here that it is the language that enslaves the mind, rather than the collective minds that are constantly shaping, morphing and bending the language.

You don't need Sapir-Whorf to see the point. Even if language is purely a tool, only relying on one language narrows cultural expression. Korean for example contains honorifics baked into the grammar of the language to express social status, this is not trivially doable in English, at least in any version that could be considered unified with what is called English today.

That too is possible (serial ports though, not ADB). There are existing LocalTalk-to-Ethernet bridge products from long ago that are getting harder and harder to find.

Hi, can you show me some metrics on the mother about whom you're speaking and the claim that their "children or grandchildren may not have to do so in the [f]uture." You seem awfully confident about that without any data to back it up, despite asking me for metrics on a similar claim I made. I hope that helps hold up a mirror to illustrate the difference between the burden of proof you place on others and the (lack of) burden of proof you place on yourself for the same things. (For the record I agree with the video, just illustrating the disconnect you seem to be showing).

Past that, you're definitely conflating typing on a keyboard with lacking resolve, and showing up with having resolve. I've been to plenty of protests with people milling around on the outskirts not really doing anything, and seen plenty of people bring the fire on social media.

Not that it matters for this at all, but because of social media I have become aware of opportunities to go out and use my skills to observe and film protests and that film has been used as evidence of police brutality that has helped get officers doing brutalizing removed from their posts. I don't want to get more specific than that here, and again it doesn't really matter for the purposes of this.

Par2 is current, still receiving bugfixes, and is used every day as part of my file backup system.
To clarify, using put sells to enter into a position that you would otherwise have opened, today, to hold long-term with a is generally better than a market or limit order. As an income-generation strategy, selling put options is, on average, a moneymaker so long as realized volatility remains lower than implied volatility. That is typically the case, but of course, March flipped that on its head, and there's no "one" strategy.

If you would have otherwise bought 100 shares of SPY on Friday, it would cost you $326.52 (x100, so $32650). If you sell 1 put option expiring 8/31 "at the money" (i.e. a $326P) you will receive a net credit of $7.20 per share today ($720).

That money is yours at the moment you sell the put option, so if SPY closes at or above $326 on 8/31 (excluding early expiry), you've made $720 on $32600, or a one-month gain of 2.2%. That is an annualized return on your staked capital of 29%. You can then keep making an annualized 29% return every month until you get assigned (assuming IV rank remains stable).

Alternatively, if SPY closes below $326, you've actually bought it for a $7.72 per share discount ($7.20 + $0.56), or $318.80 over what it's trading at right now. As you plan to buy and hold for the long run, you got a much better entry price than you would have with a market order.

If you're planning to buy and hold today, it's hard to lose with selling a put to open. You either collect a nice premium, or you buy the shares at a discount. If your goal is to own the shares long term, you're feeling good either way. Make sense?

What you could theoretically miss out on is a big run up from the moment you bought the shares in excess of the premium.

You can get more aggressive too, and sell puts you don't think you'll get assigned on, at the highest price you'd be willing to pay for SPY and play the long game. Sell $300 8/31 puts for $2. There's a 80% chance you'll keep that premium, and it's an annualized 8.2% return on staked capital. Then if you get assigned it's actually a $28/share discount -- 8.5% -- below today's price.
I would be careful because better parts also mean better safety.

07.30 breakfast with family

08.00 take kids to school

08.20-noon work (95% coding, was from home before covid too)

12-13 lunch (at home, something quick). A quick walk or mountainbike ride if the weather agrees.

13-16 work again

16.00 pick up kids at school unless wife does

16.30-17 finish off work

17.30 make dinner

18-20 have dinner, watch tv, Grocery shopping, help with homework, Mario kart tournament with kids...

20.00 put kids to bed

20.05-midnight: Netflix, first person shooters, or personal side projects. Edit: oh also lots of old fashioned schedule TV!

It's indeed, I wonder if there is a list of "Web 1.0" gems anywhere
None of your examples would disrupt the core business from functioning (barring the huge reduction in reservations from SABRE but that’s a monopoly exchange, which is a different problem).

Disrupting paychecks, retirement, healthcare, stock issuance, etc were all annoying but the business would not cease to make money and those were all relatively interchangeable with other providers or had offline alternatives.

The key difference with this current cloud embrace is that big billion dollar businesses are making their core business dependent on Amazon/Google/Microsoft cloud services. They don’t even trust power companies or ISPs to give them power and Internet that reliably.

A disaster recovery plan for a dependence on AWS lambda and co. is now just “Amazon shouldn’t fail, but if it does we’ll just have to rewrite all of that software at great expense and lost revenue to the business.”
I have some small bottles of hand sanitizer from the manufacturer in question. It is unclear if the particular brand I have is on the re-call list (the list has dozens of brands with slightly different name variants).

Just now, I poured some out on a tin can and lit it on fire. The flame was mostly blue, with a very occasional flash of yellow. So not super clear what that means. But I think I will play it safe and throw them out.

UPDATE: I had a small amount from a target brand sanitizer. I saw a similar flame, mostly blue with an occasional flash of yellow. Regardless, best to play it safe and throw out the brand in question.
And on other dates, it was not $773. So what? Long term, the world market (more than the US) historically averaged to 6-8% growth p.a. with dividends before inflation iirc, and the last 120 years were certainly no walk in the park for the world. If you look at the MSCI World in the past 30 or 40 years, you would have made no loss in any time window if you bought and held at least 15 years. The key is time in the market. 12 years isn't much. Think 20, 30+ or until you die. Psychological pain in downturns is the price you pay for far superior returns in the long run to any other asset class.

Switching between VTI and single shares is market timing and therefore gambling. If you want to reduce the maximum drawdown, ramp up the allocation of less risky assets like bonds or cash on a savings account.
had neither collected nor exploited or analyzed information obtained from the devices or accounts of protesters or detainees

I'm assuming this is just carefully chosen words - "from the devices or accounts".

If the DHS has someone undercover who asked and got permission to join the Telegram group, then the DHS could say "we didn't collect or analyze data from the devices or accounts".

6:00 Wake-up, ~1 mi walk, shower etc.

6:30-8:00 Get kids ready for the day, drive them to daycare

8-17:30 Work (lunch jammed in somewhere for 15min. Sad.)

17:30-20:00 Dinner, family time

20-21 Getting the kid to bed (reading, etc.)

21-22:30 More work, since this is the only "quiet" time when I can get think-heavy stuff done without fighting back-to-back meetings and interruptions.

22:30-23:30 Another walk, maybe watch a show... anything to unwind

23:30 Sleep

Not at all happy with this. Too much work, and side projects and sufficient leisure time have been sacrificed.
I wasn't accounting for reinvested dividends, but inflation from 1997 to 2009 was 34%.

I'm choosing those points because I remember hearing from retirees in 2008 that they had followed all of the advice and they are worse off than they were 10+ years ago. I saw too many cases of people being upside-down on their mortgages, while losing their jobs, while losing their retirements. In that situation, it's pretty hard to keep saying "don't worry, it'll come back, just keep dollar cost averaging in". If you were retiring in 2008, you might not be able to keep averaging with the market, even if you had the stomach to do it. Time in the market is still timing the market.

We've only had modern portfolio theory since 1952. In the last few decades, we've done some really experimental monetary policy. I won't be shocked if we experience some event that brings us back to 2008 levels. I also won't be shocked if we see hyperinflation. The one thing I know is that you're always trying to time the market, it's just a question of if you acknowledge it or not.

I think it's a good idea to max out your tax-advantaged retirement plans and dump them in indexes as sort of a safety net because your MPT advice is probably "too big to fail" at this point, but that only accounts for less than 20k/year of investment advice (for most employed people). After that, investing in a residence makes a lot of sense because of the tax advantages. If you happen to be in a situation where you can engineer more tax advantages (like owning a business or moving to a lower-tax state), then definitely do that. Once you've got all that sorted, it's pretty much just gambling.
My point was that maybe the Linux development process isn't a good match for niche areas like this. With NetBSD+pkgsrc, I can (and have done) just commit fixes to the kernel and userland AppleTalk code directly without needing to go through gatekeepers who may not have used this feature.

The blog author might want to look at a recent pkgsrc patch to netatalk 2.2 that makes it work with current CUPS.
There is methanol in all alcohol we drink. This study[1] proposes that up to 2% methanol would be fine in usual cases but .4% (the EU's limit) gives a greater margin of safety.

It is conceivable that this is a costly overreaction by the FDA - you'd have to use far more hand sanitizer to absorb enough methanol to hurt you. To what degree will loss of hand sanitizer further the spread of Covid19?

Reading the FDA press releases a little deeper, we find, of course, we are mostly concerned about the safety of those who might drink hand sanitizer.

Of course. Of course we should be concerned about this risk. Of course.

But at what cost?

Sorry, what does this have to do with UBI?

With such a government, any future wouldn’t be desirable. Imagine such government in charge of unemployment benefits, health services, the military, anything really: it’s grim in any case.

Moreover, universal basic income is universal, by definition. If a government denies it to some particular citizens according to some criteria, it is not universal anymore. It becomes an income provided to anyone who is in favor of the government, which is a very different thing.
So, if universal basic income existed, even the Chinese government would have to give it to everyone... or otherwise give it another name.

For workdays:

5:00am - Rise, burpees, breakfast, shower, shave, brush.

6:00am - Drive to work

6:30am - Work

11:00am - Lunch while working

3:30pm - Drive home

4:00pm - Cook dinner, put out clothes for next day, eat, walk, clean.

6:30p- Leisure (game, movie, drink?)

8:30pm - Read, tea

10:00pm - Sleep
I disagree. JavaScript historically has always offered backward compatibility.

> Backwards compatibility is important because of the large number of browsers deployed and the wide variety of versions of those browsers [0]. This may be the reasoning behind offering backwards compatibility.

Also, according to the GitHub page [1] the fallbacks are WebGL2, and WebGL 1, and if neither of those work, only then will it use the CPU when in the browser. I find this to be quite acceptable. After all, it is JavaScript!

I too remember getting called "racist" and "[economically] dumb" for suggesting that we shouldn't ignore China's IP strategy.

Oh no it's super harmless. You can only feel it close to a source like when you feel your hand along a wall with an embedded wire running main AC. The only time I was genuinely surprised by it was when i walk past a motor in a train that was starting up but even then it wasn't annoying.

This is certainly true, luckily my commute runs along a pedestrian waterfront, and I never go on the road, so I feel safe enough with it. Then again, I wouldn't ride on the road in Greece even with a $10k bike.
Ask HN: Recomendations for Kids iOS Games
My daughter is 3 and a half. I’d like to give her some games to play on an iOS device however I’m having trouble finding games that meet my criteria and would appreciate and recommendations.

- not mindless
She’s played thing like make an ice cream, and although she enjoys these I feel they are mindless/pointless activities with no merit

- actually a game
There are a ton of great apps for family info learning letters and numbers. That’s not what I’m searching for. I want to find a game which she would play for the enjoyment of the game itself sort of thing. (Yes I know these are not mutually exclusive but for the purpose of this search they are)

- No in app purchases, adds, or up sells of any sort
Games that I have previously played that’s I think she would have enjoyed have been ruined by these trends. She can’t play unattended because if the constant interruptions which I can’t teach her how to “ignore”

The closes thing I’ve found so far is Cebeebies playtime island, however these are a collection of mini games and don’t really have any progression, challenge or long lasting game play sort of thing.

It’s a touch ask because at her level she can happily work apps to an extent (she has a lot of fun with those letter and number games I mentioned and puzzles etc), but concepts like “lives” are somewhat lost on her.

Really hoping there are some decent games out these and HN will succeed where my own searches have failed.

P.s. I would prefer not to get into debates about kids screen time etc. We are pretty purposeful in the why & how she gets to interact with technology.
These stories about competition being thwarted often seem to ignore the elephant in the room — the companies being acquired weren’t doing well. I’m sure the North team feels like they took the best option they had realistically available to them. We can speculate about what might have been, but unless most scenarios involve them going out of business and everyone looking for new jobs, it’s not very accurate. You could say most startups take the chance despite low chance of success, but North has done that and ended up on the wrong side of that distribution once already, and any further attempt would be saddled with the existing debt and cap table. This is a clean slate for them.

Anecdote, but here is a specific situation. Company X has both internal cloud (based on OpenShift) and “public” cloud (Y: one of the big three cloud providers). Application team Z has applications on both, for historical reasons. One of these days application on the internal cloud fails, remediation requires attention from X’s infrastructure team (which is not the same and quite removed from application team), situation is dragging for hours initially and repercussions are cleaned up for several days afterwards. Business is losing money and is furious. Similar situations happens on a public cloud, application team gets a tech resource from Y calling back in two minutes and the whole situation is resolved in two hours.

The immediate costs are only part of the picture.

I'm using one of those portable units because I live in a rented apartment. There is nothing convenient about it compared to a much more efficient real (split) AC, but I have no other options.

Even if the landlord was OK with allowing it, "green" laws intentionally make it incredibly tedious and expensive to get the permits to install an AC, so people swarm to the option they can get without paperwork.
> I agree, in multiplayer games "mastery" relates to improving mechanical skill, i.e. getting better at mashing specific button sequences as fast as possible or getting better at flickshots.

This is an incredibly shallow analysis. Most competitive multiplayer games have important strategic elements too. Positioning, knowing when to engage, effective team communication, countering opponent strategies, etc.

Don't mistake this for defending video games, but you can't expect a productive discussion when the strawmen stood up are so absurd.
