Ask HN: How do you identify shortcomings, and improve yourself morally?
Are there any methods day-to-day you use to observe in yourself the worst traits of our species and remedy them?

Could you elaborate more on the methods of both observation and that of remedying the shortcoming you see?

Edit: Accidentally posted twice. Got "dead link" on submission first time, so submitted again. All fixed now.
I am far from being an expert but I think that:

1. Is solved by most profiles which will only give access to files required by the given app so it would not get access to all content of the home folder. And even better (although not default behavior), is to use --private to isolate each app into its own fake home folder.

2. Is also not default but seems to be possible according to official wiki: https://firejail.wordpress.com/documentation-2/x11-guide/
Yeah, I've found that quite often in apps/libs written for K8s in Go - wasn't sure if it was a Go cultural thing or a K8s cultural thing.

If you're lucky you're getting an example or two in the README.md. The rest of the time, you're reading code to figure out the intricacies.
I think "photo-negative" might be another analogy for this that does not trigger attempts to search for this meaning.

So might "boolean NOT", to maybe be a bit more programmerly.

> So I cannot access the box anymore at all?

My understanding is that you can access it directly. But you can't embed e.g. images or JavaScript from that server within a website running on a public IP address. I consider that a good thing.
Oh the circumlocutions of woke centrists...

NYT's slant is currently ammo for "class reductionists"[1], but if they were to enage in some of the dirtbag left stuff of the sort that Putin likes to sponsor, they could make the MSNBC Moms uncomfortable from both sides of the political spectrum (!), and antipodal-ly restore some bipartisan credibility.

The article puts James Bennet in a kinda good light, but that is wrong as the Opinion section is trash trolling of boomers and he made it worse.

It would be bad business sense in the short term, but they should admit that "columns" from the same people until they are long past being out of ideas are superfluous in the internet age, and keep the opinionated stuff to the magazine long-form investigative piece (like the magazine).

Basically keep the emotions at a minimum by maintaining an attention-span-requiring vs outrage-unleashing trade-off.
Thanks for the input. It's not a precarious financial situation right now. As long as I have this job, I should be able to support us. I just won't have much money or time for hobbies (the hobbies I do partake in add value, like a garden and mushrooming for food). I also don't have the option of switching jobs. I've talk about cancelling unnecessary things unless she pays for them (the only thing is netflix). She said she'll just mooch off her mom.
Interesting. What if you're both right? What if both parties are trying to use HLvM, and nobody represents the middle?

I don't think that it's an apples-to-apples comparison between TSMC's and Intel's processes. I believe Intel's 10nm is closer to TSMC 7nm, but you're right, they're behind either way.
Paul Ford: What Is Code?
There aren't very many women here

There is a great deal more female participation than there used to be. It's just not obvious for various reasons, but it's something I have paid attention to over the years and used to keep private data on to some degree.
I often wonder if they suspected a Trump victory would boost their subscriptions and let that influence their behavior in 2016.
I wonder how they're going to replace the MacBook Pro 16" which has 64GB BTO options. Even the Mac Mini had a 64GB option but it too is stuck at just 16GB max. Will they produce a massive package to accommodate it?
Fuck this. It increases the complexity of browsers and servers and erects yet another burden for makers. And for what? So orgs with broken infrastructure (and budgets for running it) and device manufacturers (with budgets of their own) can keep up their garbage practices instead of fixing them? And they can push their costs onto a deep-pocketed company like Google who's willing to subsidize them? Here's to hoping that WebKit and Mozilla say "No."
i see, thanks for the pointers, i guess apple doesnt have much incentive to speed up web assembly...
I don,t know about the future, and I,m not into the content, but voat/gab/tdw already have better ui/ux than any of the big players like fb/tw/reddit, whose user experience has devolved to barely tolerable for me. I think a mass exodus to private communities is coming.

I don,t think gab will grow to the size of reddit, rather reddit will be picked apart into a billion pieces like a dinosaur after the astetoid.
That's why I asked, because the takedown request wasn't claiming ownership of the youtube-dl code (or that it was just enabling infringement), it was claiming that youtube-dl was breaking DMCA section 1201, which covers circumventing DRM.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/525353/sweden-number-of-...

Sweden, without COVID lockdowns, is on track for fewer deaths in 2020 than 2018.

The country also has a lower COVID deathtoll per capita than Belgium, Italy, USA.

Lockdown is not a solution. Dealing with air pollution (ending the burning of coal and oil) and obesity (banning and taxing added sugar) would yield significantly greater benefits and require much less cost and effort.
Interesting question. A search later and a quick read of this study (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15377608/) and the answer seems to be one about economics and FDA approval.
This article reads like fiction with its emphasis on providing an exodus narrative, but this point stood out to me.

>San Francisco had four times as many deaths from overdose this year as it did from the COVID-19 virus.
People have really overacted to my comment. It’s also “not helpful” to just dismiss the truth.

Without China cooperating and trying to save face, we don’t truly understand the origin of this virus and how it initially spread so well.

I responded to a post that said “we need to go plant based to avoid these things happening”.

Well going vegan won’t do so any good if this was released from a laboratory?
If you're ever looking to absolutely lose all faith in humanity the journal's comment section is even better than facebook. Never thought I'd see the day where someone unironically says "LIBERAL NOONAN"
I think the OP is referring to accessing the config 5 layers down from the controller. I've run into it myself. To be able to do that, you have to add Options<T> to the constructor of every class in the chain and then configure DI for it. It just has bad code smell.

On my last project, I just assigned the configs to a static class that's available everywhere and the code was just simply much cleaner.
Surely they have different clock rates, but Apple isn't referencing clock rates in their marketing material for Macs with M1 chips.
> have seen ingenuity trump technology

Examples?
Would it be worth it to make that as an option, perhaps a command line option like PROTON_ALWAYS_FOCUSED=1?
If a laptop is too thin and doesn't have weights in it, just having it in your lap while lightly typing makes it wobble around like a boat in a storm.
Highly inaccurate. Even if you look at the data provided there, it’s 2 data points with an insane spread.

Check out levels.fyi for something more accurate. You’ll see L6 engineers make $500K+.
Or that fascist ideas tap into some primal root of our consciousness like a disease, latching on like an addiction that we are powerless to fight. In my mind tribalism is inherent to the human condition. Being ready to go off and violently slaughter people who aren't our kin is the very reason why our lineages exist today and why you and I have had millions of generations of parents surviving long enough to produce offspring. We are directly descended from the most violent and most tribalistic of humans, as the more peaceful lineages would have long since been killed off by our ancestors who practiced coordinated violence.

It doesn't take much to push people back into this primal level of thinking. We are predisposed to follow a charismatic leader, predisposed to follow a religion and adhere to it without any weighing of its systems with that of other religions or thinking critically about our beliefs, predisposed to fear the unknown 'other' rather than welcome them and their ideas. Millions of years of selective pressures have created who we are and how we behave toward one another, it's no surprise that there are some serious growing pains toward adapting to this new world where we attempt to treat others as equals rather than threats. Same sex marriage was only legalized five years ago in the US, after all.
I'm hoping Zen 3 delivers because 4000 mobile chips shows great promise but is not available in anything premium (MacBook pro level) and has supply issues.

That being said Apple has an advantage in that they control the entire stack and on the power efficiency side of things they have experience with mobile CPU design, they can do stuff like heterogeneous cores and can optimise for it throughout the stack, I think it would be challenging for x86 to do the same.
Yeah, but I need both browser + IntelliJ. I run out of 8 GB pretty damn quickly.
They spend a lot of money on things like Swift Playgrounds, though. They have a whole developer outreach and training program: https://developer.apple.com/learn/curriculum/

It's a puzzling omission, given that building App Store revenue is such a priority, and they feed the supply side in a number of other ways. I don't think they're doing it on purpose, they're just bad at it.
Why? If following a link harms your business model, there is something wrong with your business model. It doesn't bother whether your business model is about tracking or non-tracking users. The idea of paying somebody for putting your ad on their space is old and acceptable, but the idea of paying somebody for the number of clicks an ad generated is stupid. This excellent browser extensions demonstrates why this concept should fail.
Well, my question still remains unanswered.

Is it the stache and the swastika?

Do they have to be anti-Jews and pro-Muslims, like Hitler was?

Do they have to oppose British and American imperialism and Russian communism, like Hitler did? Do they have to support Japan over China?

Do they have to be in favor of some form of unified Europe and consider Norway as utopia?

Do they have to favor socialist policies?

Or it is just a self-identification thing? Like, one is a Neo-Nazi if they identify as one, regardless of their beliefs about anything?
I've worked at Google on the Dart language for nearly eight years now, but Vigil will be the legacy that I'm remembered by. I love it. :)
Is there confirmation yet whether the new ARM chips will even have any virtualisation?
Yeah, I probably shouldn't have said what I did. I'm just jaded at my current job. I'm happy someone is making it.

BTW I have a MSIS, not that it's relevant. I guess I have nobody else to tell.
Here’s the story of a lady inspired by the character of lt. Uhura on the original Star Trek:

https://today.duke.edu/2013/10/maejemison

In the future there are going to be similar stories about people inspired by president Obama and Vice President Harris because these models show them how far they can go.

It’s not about identity politics, it’s about showing people they can escape the box society appears to capture them in.
Cool write up. I love HN
ICoinTime｜Data: Silicon Valley and “Smatr Money” Are Behind the Rise of Bitcoin
The problem is that people in the US have a weird definition of racism, see the "shithole countries" mentioned in this discussion before.
I think that we will see how this pans out in practice - but power efficiency is not something I associate with Intel - they just seem to far behind in manufacturing process to be competitive.
Wait Putin sponsors Chapo Trap House? Does that mean I can’t play Disco Elysium guilt-free anymore?
Also, "not the best, not the worst" combined with "securing my families financial future" and "doing the right thing by my team/employees" and "relieving myself of a management and company ownership role I don't enjoy" sound like a totally better outcome _for him_, than spending another ~7 years managing something he's bored with and not starting new things.

For a lot of other people, a half mil a year profit from a successful small company they'll own pretty much in perpetuity might be what they'd choose. I can see why he didn't. (I'd almost certainly have made the same choice myself.)
Agreed. HN is going the way of Slashdot.
That would have prevented a lot of flame wars
Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have had very successful strategies and outcomes.
Very rich people can pretty much be ignored as there are under 1% of them anywhere you look.
I think my helplessness and inaction were learned behaviors, and I managed to kick the habit... for the most part. I wish you the best of luck, don,t give up. At some point it will click. Be grateful when it happens.
I think the times does ok at having some conservative pieces to balance out. They got a bit unlucky in all their republican columnists, Brooks and Douthat in particular, being never trumpers, but they try to throw in some pro trump op-eds.
You can solve that problem by going into keyboard settings and changing the "Touch Bar shows" setting to "Expanded Control Strip". Or "F1, F2, etc. keys" if you prefer. Whichever one you set, holding down the "fn" key will temporarily toggle to the other one.

You still don't get the same feel as physical keys, but no Siri, no sliders to adjust volume or brightness, no stuff shifting around as you switch apps.
You can disable the siri in Touch Bar and configure it to have the buttons you want. We do that to every new laptop we give our team, it's great.
This gets even more fun when several communities discover the same thing independently, and each comes up with a different name for it.

My favorite is the idea of "let's expand functions over a set of Gaussians". That is variously known as a Gabor wavelet frame, a coherent state basis [sic], an Gaussian wave packet expansion, and no doubt some others I haven't found. Worse still, the people who use each term don't know about any of the work down by people who use the other terms.
C# lacks and ecosystem... I understand that.

But C# lacks an ecosystem compared to Rust? I don't understand that.
The onus of updating software for new platforms and against security problems creates new costs for software vendors. With the increased operational costs of developing software there needs to be new revenue streams. I for one am not opposed to paying small monthly fees for software that I use regularly.
Eloquent. Having lived through the exodus (I stayed) of the dot com crash, it feels a bit like that. Too many people trying to deny the reality that economics imposes on all things. It really does matter if you buy electricity for 25 cents a kilowatt hour and your net revenue of selling its work product is 20 cents you just can't keep that up.

Like the Web 1.0 era, the Web 2.0 era has seen some pretty durable successes. Transactions over the medium are here to stay, they aren't "weird" any more. Your portal to technological offerings is not a "PC" any more, it is an increasingly obviously mislabeled "phone." Margins on communication "services" have been commoditized away and seem unlikely to ever return.

I'm looking forward to the next thing, what ever it happens to be. The most fun is always the first third of a wave. The swell, the hint of powerful forces just under the surface waiting to be tapped, the anticipation of successfully getting enough ahead to start the adrenaline fueled ride.

Never a dull moment in a place like this.
You. I don't get this argument. I was taught how to vet sources in high school. Did everyone play hooky that day? Based on the national soap opera, I guess so.
One of these days someone at Twitter will remember they bought Tweetdeck and start messing with it in the same way they do for the main site and apps, but until then it’s fantastic.
Look at the areas where the epidemic is considered controlled. The first thing they do to show it is organize large scale gatherings, like China with large dance festivals and New Zealand with sports events.
> Never measured whatsapp but it's really pretty performant

are we really talking about the same whatsapp ? it takes a good 4 seconds to load here. I don't remember ever waiting for MSN Messenger to load, on potato-powered computers.
In my experience I’d say just open one, try to read it, and move on to something else if you can’t decipher it. Eventually one will suit you, or none of them if you’re like me :p
There are plenty of successful german Turks though, to the point where such propaganda might have the reverse effect: why would anyone assume they can't escape.
That $500 difference goes towards a higher quality product with good support, not necessarily just system specs.
The type system in typescript is a lot more advanced than the one available in C#.
This is one option, but it still suffers from my main complaint about the touch bar -- it's way too easy to accidentally activate something. Therefore, I have my touch bar set to activate only while I'm holding down the FN key.

I will not remove that safety key until they make the touch bar pressure sensitive so that "buttons" on it only activate with a similar amount of force that was required to activate the tactile buttons they replaced. Until then, I consider it a failed design improvement.
NAS is a very established solution that is not expensive at all to set up at home.
Trust has to be earned. "Trusting" someone who is actively mistreating you is not a means to improve your relationship. It's a means to help escalate the abuse they are subjecting you to.
So what to do if a powerful working machine is needed now, buy the current MBP 16" or go to thinkpad? Disappointed they didn't even upgrade the intel CPU on MBP 16" to the newer version.
Migration is something we feel is very important, which is why we've delivered a single-CLI-command upgrade from 1.x to 2.0. Here's the documentation: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.0/reference/upgradin...
All the best! Just remember that you need happiness too.
538 has some infos about this here: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/checking-our-work/
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territ... I see 31% for the US and 28% for Missouri. Regardless, the key point is "almost everyone in your social circle".
If you want a safe space for right crazies join Parler, if you want a safe space for left crazies join Mastodon.
Most of the hostility is towards illegal immigration. As long as left-wing politicians and media merges illegal and legal immigration, and promotes abuse of asylum and rescue at sea systems for illegal immigration, such hostility will continue, and even increase.
The easiest way around this is to offer 1 year support or 1 major version support with the initial purchase. Then for people or corporations that want to have continuous support then they could pay for it.
The Macbooks that were for many years the smallest and lightest Apple laptops, would be imbalanced and knocked off your lap by placing your hands on it slightly asymmetrically.
The bootloader is not locked, why continuing to claim that over and over when Apple talked about it at WWDC?
Agreed. I was not fully burned out when I saw this talk but I definitely wasn't enjoying my job due to not having the conceptual tools to deal with these situations.

Now I am able to enjoy my job again.
The context is the Mac Mini previously supported 64GB of RAM. In fact it was a pretty powerful machine, with options for a six core i7, 10Gb Ethernet, and as I said 64GB RAM. Now it's neutered with GigE and 16GB RAM, despite having much better CPU and GPU performance.
ReactOS is a piece of shit with kernel developed by same person who is behind TinyKrnl. Both are illegal.
> It’s time to build, yes. But it’s also time to leave.

I wonder if the author intends to lead the charge, or if they might be staying? :)
This is getting really off topic but I also don't answer calls unless I know them. My mobile voicemail is redirected to my Google Voice # and the automatic transcription is good enough that I usually don't need to listen to the actual voicemail. You might want to give that a try.
I rewatch "the good place".
With any laws, some of the lines can be blurry. I'm not familiar with that specific situation. I just mention this because there are laws restricting military personnel pretty heavily from many political things, even just criticizing the president. The institution itself is absolutely forbidden from being involved in politics to prevent coups.
Using Rust to Scale Elixir for 11M Concurrent Users (2019)
I don't understand how this didn't come up in usability testing
Oh wow, I'm so happy I'm not the only one thinking this. I noticed this transition over the past few years on these forums and I even commented about it in the past.
Timescale is built on top of Postgres, which is a row oriented database. They've built a kind of columnar layer on top of it, which is quite interesting. Because it's Postgres you get their full SQL support.

Meanwhile, InfluxDB IOx has a very different set of goals than Postgres. It's not an OLTP (transactional) DB and never will be. It's firmly targeted at OLAP and real-time OLAP workloads.

That means we can do things like optimize for running on ephemeral storage with object storage as the persistence layer. It'll have fine grained control over replication, how data is partitioned in a cluster, and where data is indexed, queried, queued for writes and more. Push and pull replication, bulk transfer, and persistence with Parquet. This last bit means you get integration with other data processing and data warehousing tools with minimal effort.

It'll also support Arrow Flight which will give it great integration into the data science ecosystems in Python and R.

Right now, InfluxDB IOx is really too early to do any real comparison on actual operation. We're putting this out now so that people can see what we're doing, comment on it, and maybe even contribute. We think it's an interesting approach where no single item is completely novel, but the composition of everything together makes it an entirely unique offering in open source.

Edit: one other thing I forgot to mention. InfluxDB IOx is open source, Timescale isn't. For some that matters, for many it doesn't. Depends on your use case.
Is that recent? It definitely used to be Electron https://www.codepicky.com/hacking-electron-restyle-skype/
As well, this media outlet linked in the op is owned by The Heritage Foundation a far-right-wing "think tank". The other pieces of media on the site do not seem to be without a certain political bias.
I didn't think voters were allowed to have political clothing either? I've heard of some voters asked to turn masks and shirts inside out while they're at the polls.
What he talks about risk and innovation being flip sides of the same coin, very interesting. Also an amazing insight that copying other developed nations may be maladaptive to the needs of China.
"Actually Neapolitan pizza is 170 years old."

That's interesting, I'm annoyed at my shortcut/assumption in my head that a) it would be older than 170 yrs and b) that there wouldn't be a clear historical record of the exact date. Although, cooked down tomatoes, flatbread etc. presumably met under a different name before that
