It's because you're living in a simulated reality in which problems are created (holes) so that they may be solved (fills). These problems are not real problems. But, someone pays you a lot of money to fill the holes, so you don't think to yourself, "is what I'm doing necessary at all? There seems to be a better way, but I'm very busy right now. Hey, it seems to be a network problem, maybe we should centralize some of these problems." Let me say in no uncertain terms that you are kept busy to legitimize this process and to legitimize the monetary gains its financiers feel entitled to recoup. Let me also say that centralization isn't a magic solution, but creating an EXPLICIT flow from multi-faceted experimentation, risk, and uncertainty to low-risk, low-return, centralization is a GOOD thing, and instead of filling holes, we should use our free time to dream and to suffer and to love and to live, instead of sacrificing the whole of the lot to the self-eating, self-immolating hanged-man false god of sole self-interest.
Totally agree. Claiming Starbucks killed Seattle coffee culture is a total joke. There are plenty of funky, independent coffee houses to support if you're willing to look for them. The price is generally higher than Starbucks, but so is the quality of the coffee.

I wonder if this lines up with the psychology of Internal Family Systems (IFS): https://www.reddit.com/r/InternalFamilySystems/

Basically, that we are a collection of inner-selves, not a single self. IFS provides a framework for working with our inner selves.
With "standard Hyper-V virtual machine" I mean that's like every other VM, because it runs under its own instance of vmwp.exe, spawned by vmms.exe, like every other one you may have in the system.

Cool project. I would relax the requirements from C99 to C89. You get more portability to cool
retro systems that way and C99 doesn’t really add that much. Also C++ compilers are generally more able to compile C89 in C++ mode than C99, e.g. msvc
It's funny, when we talk abstractly, we can look at the statistics and see that wealth in concentrated in the hands of a small % of people.

But then when we break it down by age, or by gender, then suddenly, magically, this wealth becomes distributed to the entire age group, or the entire gender, so that "Boomers" are all well-off, or men are all well-off, when the reality is that it's not even remotely true, and a lot of people of all different groups are struggling.

I used to say something similar, but then someone challenged me to listen to all the ATC conversations, so I did. There are literally thousands of mayday's and pan-pans called every year, many that come dangerously close to a crash. The passengers rarely even know something is going horribly wrong. It seems those planes are really old and falling apart. At least, that is the perception I take away.

I am really impressed with the flight crews ability to work as a team to get the thing on the ground upright most of the time while remaining calm on the radio. Don't get me wrong, I love flying and plan to get my pilots license some day. I am just not a fan of the aging fleet and very dated technology.
> Personal suffering/sacrifice adds no value to the community, and in fact reduces it.

What? How? If you see this extremely locally, like the community being, your country, sure, but I don't think that's apply when you consider the community has being the whole world.

> Perhaps someone with 25 to their name better serves the community by keeping it?

Does it though? We see this as a first world country, where even for the one starving a bit, still get a life much better than a good proportion of the world. That means that keeping that 25$ will help you surely, but would serve much better a few others, if given correctly.

I guess HN is probably a place where disproportionate ego exist in a higher percentage than anywhere else, that many believe that they are the 10x programmer which is worth more than everyone else, but I'm a firm believer that given the same opportunity as me, anyone else could have done the same as me, thus helping many reach the same opportunities as me, will help more than helping myself.

Sadly I'm still a bit selfish and still want a better life for myself. I still do self sacrifice, but it's extremely local.

I'm no millennial, but gen-X. My brick box is okay. Not as big as the one my parents had, but it's in a bigger city, which really adds to the cost.

But my wife and I are double earners, unlike my parents. And we both have really good jobs. We don't have it hard, but we don't drive new cars either; we've got a second hand Prius. The only sign that we've got it good is that our house in Amsterdam is not as tiny as most.

But I also wonder if maybe our expectations may be too high due to the constant stream of luxury lifestyles that we're being fed on TV, in movies and on other media.
He shows us Flex/Yacc and shift/reduce errors then moves on. I'd greatly appreciate tools tips to either

C# developer here. Bit shifting is super useful for defining flags and flags are awesome. In the web app world, I don't really come across the need for bit shifting outside of flags. If I am building something in Unity or GodotSharp, there are far more opportunities where bit-shifting is useful.

I generally agree with your statement when referring to code bootcamp graduates, but anyone with a CS degree should have learned bitshifting by their second programming course; YMMV.

Chuck Feeney is not "officially broke." Per this story he has a couple million set aside for retirement and is living a perfectly happy life with all of his needs met. It seems disrespectful to Feeney's vision for his own life - he can give away so much and still be fine. Not broke.

I don't know why the author had to cross the line into falsehood with the title. It's a great story about a great person, why sacrifice your integrity with an utterly false headline, particularly when the story doesn't need it?
Comparing a salary with a pension to a salary without a pension is insanity. Wages are not stagnant. They've declined precipitously. take-home pay is stagnant and pensions are dead.
So far food scarcity looks like the most plausible explanation. Someone needs to get a massive campaign together in flyover zones to get people to scatter food for them. Assuming appropriate feed for these species is even widely available in those areas.

Probably too little too late in this case though... I guess we just update the wildfire documents to include care for migratory species and hope there's a next time

The brain rhythms that detach us from reality
My grandfathers were an accountant and an engineer. The latter was really sought after too, he oversaw the construction of roads and spent months away and refused jobs to spend time home too.

My parents were both musicians/painters/other artistic stuff on the side. We were always tight money-wise but somehow had a two kids middle class upbringing on the absolute best part of town. Every time I think of this my admiration for my father grows.

Me and my sister became STEMpunks. My sister dropped it to be a full-time mom after a year of not liking the idea of daycare; but by then she had married well.

Once every other day I wish I had become a musician like my dad. But I don't think I could pull it off. Besides, they didn't save much so I (very gladly) chip in with about half of what they need to survive -- it's not as easy anymore.

(None of this is in America.)
> People are spending more time at home together, could there be a birth boom in Q1/Q2 of next year?

Birth control is cheap and well understood these days, I doubt many people are actively trying to have kids during a pandemic (financial + health risks). If anything I'd expect more breakups than births

It's not "one time use", but I believe BrightID[1] might be of interest to you. It allows applications to verify that you're a real person without looking into all your metadata and such. And it's not tied directly to your finances, etc like some other ID solutions are.

Taken together with the other claims in the report - ignoring multiple communications attempts from the Mauritian Coast Guard, and improperly configuring/using their electronic navigational systems, it's not clear why a more charitable reading than incompetence and dereliction of duty in a licensed mariner would be merited.
> Adserver.com checks cookie from adserver.shoes.com

1. This is not possible from server-side. The way cookies work, cookies set by adserver.shoes.com are only visible from documents hosted on *.shoes.com domains. And if the tracking is done client-side, by image, iframe or some other remote call, then this is trivially detected and blocked by adblocker.

2. How did "adserver.com" knew to check for "adserver.shoes.com" cookies? there might be hunderds clients, and trying to load cookies from every domain (adserver.shoes.com, adserver.computers.com, adserver.travel-to-india.com and so on) will take way too long.

The criticism section on her Wikipedia page probably gives a fair appraisal of the situation. Fairer than I can give anyway.
A few months ago I set up i3 to work within Xfce (essentially swapping out xfwm4 as the window manager), and I love it. It took a bit of tinkering to get the two to play nicely, as you might expect, but once I got it set up properly it was great. I wanted to use a tiling WM, but I had a setup I really liked with Xfce and didn't want to give up all the DE niceties with my panels, system tray, etc. This gives me the best of both worlds as far as I'm concerned.

That said, I agree with you that it would be nice to have a built-in option to switch between tiling and floating. I've seen that Pop_OS has this, but that's also using Gnome.
definitely a good idea. will add that to the “todo” list
If this reaches production status (e.g. with a new Hyper-V Hardware Qualification List and HHQL logo program like WHQL), it could be the biggest news for Linux since Dell started shipping a laptop with pre-installed Linux.

Such a logo program could provide OEMs with a test suite for Hyper-V with Linux hardware drivers, which means Microsoft could start contributing test cases to upstream Linux projects like CKI.

Most importantly, a Hyper-V for Linux logo qualification program could require that OEM/ODMs pass HHQL before shipping supported hardware, when they still have engineering resources allocated for system and device firmware fixes.

In short, Hyper-V for Linux has the potential for positive ripple effects throughout the supply chain for Linux "secured core" hardware. When combined with WSL2, Direct X paravirtualized graphics for Linux, and Azure Sphere (based on OpenEmbedded/Yocto), it's a major endorsement for Linux and the flexibility of Type-1, CPU-assisted virtualization pioneered by open-source Xen.

The Microsoft Linux license for IoT/embedded devices includes support for 10+ years of security updates, which will hopefully extend OEM firmware support timelines for edge hardware, https://www.platformsecuritysummit.com/2019/speaker/seay/

It's somewhat less of an issue for the US.

Birth rates generally decline in times of uncertainty; most people are aware of and practice family planning. For many, having a child right now would be fiscally irresponsible.

It’s ego, scrappiness, and company building.

The number of times I recommended an expert we should hire as consultants to teach us how to do things[1] and the founders just don’t wanna ... it’s silly. Always the same excuses: we want to build experise in house, invent from first principles, we need employees not experts, we can’t pay that much, we’re disruptors and old advice doesn’t apply ... bleh.

So you get marketing departments run by folk who have never made a buck online on their own. All the book knowledge, none of the visceral experience. It’s ridiculous

As an aside, Finland is not in Scandinavia, as it is usually defined:

https://satwcomic.com/how-the-north-works

https://soulofsweden-blog.tumblr.com/post/47742341547

Roughly, Scandinavian refers to mainland Europeans who speak a language derived from Norse. Scandinavians are the majority in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, so those are Scandinavian countries, and a minority in Finland, so that is not. Tove Jansson, Linus Torvalds, and Michael Widenius are all Finnish Scandinavians, apparently.

Nordtech sounds right, though. I imagine that various places have already been dubbed Silicon Fjord, Silicon Sauna, etc.

It would make sense. Most areas in California are covered in a cloud of smoke so thick it looks like fog. Where I live in San Diego it's been that way for the past week.
I downvoted because it wasn't a substantive comment.

Starlink is indeed an interesting technical solution to the problem of connecting sailors to their families. I've only been on short cruises, and I found those to be incredibly isolating. The experience was completely unlike camping, for example. At least there, you're under your own power, and returning to civilization is a matter of walking back in the direction from which you came. At sea, on a big ship, you are stuck in the middle of nowhere, powerless to go anywhere, an empty expanse of fathomless water in every direction. I found the experience simultaneously intense and depressing, and I can't imagine how sailors manage it even in the digital age.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. That was helpful and clear.

The author very likely did not choose the headline and the story itself never refers to Feeney being broke. It does use the idiom “go for broke” meaning to give something your full effort, which Feeney certainly did. Perhaps the headline was a lame attempt at a pun on the idiom or perhaps it’s just a clickbait headline.
No, it's not a terrible question. It is a general question about the business of online advertising, something that Sundar Pichai is unquestionably an expert about since he is the CEO of the largest company in the world that sells online advertising, and for all you know it could have been a web game that the grand daughter was playing in a chrome browser.

A reasonable, non-combative answer to this question may have been something along the lines of:

Senator, ad providers have little control over what the content of the ads that are going into these applications is. While I'm not sure what the specific ad that your granddaughter saw was, I can tell you that at google, there is a system where a user can report an ad as inappropriate. Again I'm not sure what the specific ad that you saw was, or if it was part of google's advertising platform, but if it was, you could have reported that to google for review, and I can understand why that would have been an uncomfortable experience for you.
