Yeah, yeah, Python is fast... nevermind that my program (that does real work) that I ported from idiomatic Python to idiomatic Rust became around 140 times faster. Real world doesn't matter, synthetic benchmarks (with clever calling of C code) are the way to go :)

PS. The Rust version is also easier to read, maintain and understand (for someone who groks algebraic types and Rust in general), not to mention a lot safer.
I don't think there's anything particularly rude about ignoring unsolicited communications in any scenario. Yes, much nicer to politely refuse, but I wouldn't say it's rude to simply ignore it if it is truly unsolicited.

Look at the polls huh? You must think I'm dumber than a sac of hammers if You think I'm gona believe another one of them.(tounge in cheek)

Most of the vocal support for political candidates comes from the minority of voters, on both sides. That doesn't change the situation.

The point is wether real or not there is a perception that powers that control social media are activist, woke or whatever other lable You want to give them.

These are private companies, right wing supporters do not believe in heavy handed government, so what else are they to do but find new venues to expresd their views? Do You realky expect them to just shut up and take it? That will never happen.

Social media is neither Left nor Right leaning, nor are the rules. But if the people enforcing said rules have bias, then problems arise, isn't that the point BLM was making about the Police?
You’d have to solve the sanitization problem. Local growler pubs seem to have solved this pretty well, though.
I had never seen this before. Freaking hilarious!
This was about a previous conference. The current article seems to be new information and it's rather unsettling, if true
The water is warm but it isn't boiling yet. All the infra is in place though, and the economic incentives are inevitably going to push Apple in this direction.
> ... probably not what OP needs to hear right now.

I'll piggy-back off this to remind people that when someone shares something, they are not necessarily asking for your advice. I know HN is a crowd of problem solvers, but it's OK (preferable!) to simply respond with empathy. If it's not clear, consider asking the person if they'd like your advice before immediately jumping in to try to fix it for them.
Right, right. But come on man. This is literally a post entitled "Are you depressed". Did you really expect no one to come post a story? I understand the point about the hard logical instructions rather than the soft warm consolation but have some compassion, some empathy for your fellow human. Telling the guy he should just go to therapy instead of posting his story on a thread that's _literally asking for his story_ is the same kind of hard uncaring logicism as the parent comment.

Please, I beg of all of you, do not forget what kindness and compassion can do for all of us, and that no matter where we are now, life and success is fragile and can be taken in an instant. Are we all anti-social corporate robots on here? So much so that the usual 'all business' crowd is now attempting to convert any 'human and not business' threads back into the corporate ethos? Why can't we just say something nice or leave and go back to toxifying about the latest Twitter gaff or apple device. As much as you can say that this forum is about silicon dreams, I can say this forum is equally about the human minds that have them. This forum and more its tone is what we make it, and the recent anti social push worries me and threatens to push any actual compassion away.
No it doesn’t. If memory serves, Lenovo rootkits have been in the UEFI firmware which auto-install hooks into the OS after boot.

Linux is not magically immune to this attack. One could argue it is more susceptible than other OS due to lack of binary signature checks on executables at runtime (at least by default).
It's because you are too sensitive, and haven't been in a semi-public position or vaguely popular.

When you are in a semi-public position or vaguely popular, you can have 1000 persons a day asking you for stuff. No you can't politely refuse because not only you don't have time to write the refusal, but you don't have time to even consider the offer. Ask any pretty girl what happens on tinder. It's the literall same in a professional setting if you have a semi-valuable or public position.

Then you will realize being ignored is the default behavior as you get into more "valuable" circles or look for more "valuable" ressources in general, and that it's the burden of the "asker" to make himself interesting to the person he wants an answer from. No one owes you his time because you exist. You will understand that because there will be 100s of candidates looking for the same ressource than (speaking very generally). That's when you will become less sensitive (or you will become frustrated as why the world is soo not nice with you).

Good luck and no offense
Hey man.. hope you feel better soon.
I usually learn new stuff to get out of such phases. Learning gives me excitement and offers mis direction for busy mind, which other wise loops through stuff
I am sorry to see that you presume I am a cocky programmer. :)

> And then he himself doesn’t use type safety making the text very superfluous.

You are partially right, in that I did not use type annotations thoroughly in my code. Though what I had in mind was that there are much "better" languages out there (compared to C) with strong static/gradual type systems.

> As others have brought up he then uses pythonwrappers for the heavy lifting.

Indeed, and you can read my answer to that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25101200

> It’s just a very shallow thought process that you are supposed to hammer out in the university.

If you specify what you refer to by "it", I would be happy to respond but it feels more like a personal attack now.

Parler is like the mirror spinning through space, the nutjobs are contained.
Nice way of handling it!

Unfortunate this side hustle probably won't fly with my employment contract.

I prioritize tasks how much they mean to me. It's not that i don't care about how the thing isn't working for you, it's that I have other things that are more urgent or more important to me. (Improving the world is important to me, and e.g. you getting my software to work in your weird special environment won't)

If you want me to care more, then do most of the work (or all of it, send a PR), because then the gain is better software and an encouraged OSS contributor. That, or pay me (but see above).
The main reasons I use smart lights are in my kids rooms after they fall asleep I can turn them down/off, and we leave the living room light on and my spouse and I argue who needs to go down to turn it off--now we don't argue!
It seems to me that people don't understand how morally wrong is to just give phone numbers of your friends (or even just some easily reversible hashes of those) to a third party for these contact matching schemes.

If someone gives me their phone number I would find it to be extremely rude to them if I just pass it to some third party without their consent. And most people likely do in normal life:

"Hey Bob, can I give your phone number to Alice ? She would like to buy that furniture you re selling."

Yep people will just give their full phonebook to a third party so they can see who else is one the service (and betrayed their thrust by giving it their phone number!). I really hope this is just UX dark patterns, where the apps ask for phone book access but don't explicitly tell users how they are doing this matching. Users doing this willingly would be much worse...
This one has at least been delivered enough times to justify creating a "What to expect during installation" video for new buyers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d17RyUAjzNs. I don't know whether that's 2, 20, or 200 units, though.

Richard Feynman and his learning technique
It must be very strange that I write bug reports on software that I'm never planning to use again, or to even visit the website again after the bug report is closed or is clearly not seeing any action that would require me to respond.

Usually my deadlines aren't so far in the horizon that I can wait for an unpaid maintainer to come up with and release a fix. If the problem is that easy to fix, I've probably already fixed it on my end and am just tossing a patch over the wall as an afterthought: use it verbatim, use it as inspiration, throw it out - just please don't take it as an insult. If the problem is a very hard fix, while I was discovering how hard it would be I was simultaneously researching alternatives (including rolling my own), and the bug report is me delivering a summary of why I thought the problem might be hard to fix and some ideas, although there might be a criticism of a claim in there too. The criticism might be considered a request for support - not for the software, but for the webpage making the false claim. I've also probably already moved on.

Testing isn't free, either.

edit: when I really think about it, I never want to file bugs and always think of it as work. I do it out of a responsibility to contribute back to the software or because I like the maintainer. I do it because when I google problems I'm running into, bugtrackers come up with someone else describing the same problem I'm having and what they did to fix it. I would prefer not to file bugs and have to make myself do it by putting filing the bug into my schedule.
you can book mark the comment link, or us HN and favorite the comment.
I agree with GP that you don't need to answer anything you don't want to, and ignoring is a valid approach. And I think closing issues is also a valid approach, it's your project after all and you can do what you want. That said, I would prefer maintainers didn't close issues that aren't actually resolved, and instead just ignored them. Maybe apply a label like "Needs more info" or "too busy to investigate" or "help needed" and just filter them out of your view.

The reason for this is that it allows others to chime in and add to the issue, and for users to discuss it among themselves and even find solutions and workarounds. I can't say how many times I've had an issue with some open source project and I find related thread in the github issues. And often the solutions or workarounds are suggested by community members, not the maintainers. But I find it soooo frustrating when the issue has been closed by a "stale bot" because it hasn't been active for 30 days.

This is the spirit of open source, IMO. The creator shares their work with the world, with no commitment or obligation, and the world makes of it what they can. Maybe the maintainer volunteers to help people troubleshoot their issues, or maybe the maintainer is too busy. That's ok. Let the issue sit there, and maybe another kind soul will happen across the issue and answer the question. There isn't enough info to reproduce? That's fine, it's quite possible - even likely - that someone else experiencing the same problem will find the issue and be able to add more context.
Why do you call it gpt10 and not gpt4?

Very astute observation though.
I believe for the last 30 years or so (after the late Antonin Scalia) 'conservative' judge is almost synonymous with originalist. I think you may be falling victim to correlation is not causation? IE there are no liberal originalists by definition (above). If I'm wrong, could you give me an example of a liberal originalist? I would be very happy to be wrong about this.

The correlation here is that conservative presidents pick justices who object to rulings like Roe v Wade. The mistaken 'cause' is that it is Conservatism that leads to this objection when in fact it could also be that originalists object to legislation from the bench.

I am not a fan of Google but how the hell some unelected bureaucrat can decide or impact who I can do business with or whose services can I use?

Damn the EU.
Not at all. The specced hardware charge controller has no thermal circuitry and only disables the battery at a 6 amp current draw.
I actually hadn't thought of that side of it but you're right. This must be a good source to see what groups and where on the spectrum of "unhappy to planning sedition"...
Right. I do mechanical engineering and the whole field is stuck on Windows.
> BMW says the electric wingsuit enabled Salzmann to accelerate faster than his mates at a peak speed of 186 mph. (Normal wingsuit operators typically reach horizontal speeds around 62 mph.)

Very cool; it appears to be an assist, however, without the power to actually do a takeoff.
You are right, this is not what the OP needs to hear right now. Or maybe you are wrong and this is exactly what he needs, even if it hurts it can make it better (like a bitter medicine). We don't know, so let it be. (edit:spelling)
I have a job and my parents try their best to support me, but since last year (before the covid) something broke in me and i can't enjoy anything.

Waking up is so hard, i started going to work late every day (flexible hour) and i can't sleep, i'm always anxyous and the medicine prescribed to me aren't helping. I'm tired all the time and i don't know what to do.

I constantly think about suicide but apparently is a sideeffect of what i'm taking so i'm not too worried about it.

Hi! What should you need to implement other language i.e. Italian or French? I mean: it's a problem due to the less of datas or what?

Another question: could you use for example mozilla voice data to train/test?
Summary

1. Whatever you are trying to learn, take a stab at learning it

2. Write everything down, in as simple a way as possible, as if you were preparing a lecture for an inquisitive child

3. Ask questions as if you were a child to identify gaps in your understanding

4. Repeat step 3 until the questioning adds no incremental value

"We have to learn that these are the kinds of disciplines in the field of science that you have to learn – to know when you know, and when you don’t know, and what it is you know, and what it is you don't know.

You’ve got to be very careful not to confuse yourself."

As opposed to the OCSP thing, bypassing firewalls and VPNs seem to be really out there, especially the VPN part

You have a VPN active - I'm actually saying go here not there. Because the default connection might be unsafe, limited, etc.

Now, since I have to spend money on multiple dongles, etc that might justify me to buy a pi-hole for a home connection. Get around that Apple
Putting aside a potential common benefit coming from doing so, I'm having trouble morally justifying testing someone's blood for other purposes than it was explicitly given for.
I really appreciate you taking the time to code review the Redux store! This is some really great advice that I'll definitely be implementing. The project has definitely been a big learning experience :)

Very much looking forward to these new RTK APIs. Thanks again for your help.
I love Indian curries, but one serving obbeans or pulses will haunt me for a couple days. I don't know if it is sibo related, but I do have that. Cauliflower, blackberries, and mushrooms destroy me too.
I mean, that's hard for Google to negociate in their EU position, they can't bring up the jobs since most of their workforce isn't there, they can't bring up the taxes argument since they don't pay them with tax loopholes, they can't say they contribute to the local economy anyways because they don't...

I don't agree with the EU position but there's really no leverage here for Google, it's not a win-win scenario.
Regarding your second question, we have a family room with a TV which doubles as a work-from-home office.. would be nice to be able to hide the office stuff when it's not in use. Also this design (depending on the size of the room) seems to still allow for use of the TV out of the view of the office space.
Does anyone know why it's not strapped at the back like a jetpack?
From the title I was expecting something different.

I'm also an open source maintainer and I find his attitude ridiculous.

He is a Diva. The user contribute their tiny way by taking the effort to contribute a bug report instead of just ignoring what they could have found.
And this guy ask them money just to fill a bug...

If he was asking money for investigating or fixing a specific bug I can understand, but here he just don't even want to see it!

Seriously, for his little size project, what is the cost of just having a few seconds look at incoming bugs even if not replying to it's author? He is probably missing some important info. Maybe someone was reporting that his crappy software was doing a 'rm rf' in some cases...

From my point of view, I'm very grateful for the bug reports I receive. Sure a lot of them are not really bug or already fixed. But very often I got very valuable feedback about bugs, incomprehension of the projects, or things that could be improved for that.

So on one side you can also consider that you have users ready to do free QA for you! That is invaluable!

In the case of this guy, I think that he is not really an OSS maintainer in the 'free software' movement but just the author of an abandonware with shared sources.
This news importance is equivalent that of TPP yet the exposures remain low.
And in case you didn't realize, these delivery apps are taking a 20% "marketing fee" out of the food subtotal on every order (in addition to all delivery costs, some of which are paid by the restaurant as well). Just for operating an online menu. How they can be unprofitable with an app that is basically printing money on every order is beyond me.
That's awesome. Great job!
It says something about wingsuit flying that strapping a 25,000 rpm motor to one's chest and pointing it only slightly away from one's groin isn't even close to the biggest risk factor in this activity.

Garage gym. Ideally bought before the lock down. Or anywhere with a floor strong enough for a squat rack and some weights.

The rack, an Olympic bar plus Olympic sized Ezy bar, a bench and an assortment of plates and ideally a plate holder and some thick rubber mats is all you need.

Has been an amazing help for myself through some tough periods lately. Also ditto on Stronglifts 5x5.
> It is far better for the environment

I suppose that depends on where the embodied energy comes from, no? If instead of oil or coal, it's all hydro or nuclear, then presumably the biodegradability is an overall benefit?

Second, I'm curious... how actually does one measure the tradeoff between energy usage and biodegradability? The former would seem to be measured in reduction of CO2 output, while biodegradability is in reduction of non-biodegradable mass. But I can't even begin to imagine how to compare the two.

Is there some standard methodology? Or does it just come down to people's personal preferences?
My favorites are baitfish like herring and sardines does that change the sustainability? If not, should I just go back to beef, or is it at least better?
Quite the opposite. Learning can only happen, if there is some kind of feedback. If the other side doesn't notice that something is off in our communication, because I do not signal displeasure about their rudeness by being rude myself, they cannot change their behaviour.

Most of the communication in the internet degrades, because information flow is lacking. If you answer politely, you can, when meeting in person, still convey an air of annoyance. You can signal the other person more than just what is being said. In written communication, this doesn't work. All the polite subtleties will be missed. All the cultural cues, like being overly polite or formal to signal distance, don't work because there are just too many cultures meeting, and you can't calibrate your interpretation to the other side like you do "at home".

This means that in the internet, you need to be more direct. You need to say what you mean. And if you need to dismiss somebody, you need to be explicitly dismissive. If somebody is rude, you need to be rude and tell them about their rudeness. Being polite for the sake of politeness is misleading, inducing the other side to continue their errorneous behaviour up to the point where things really degrade into an unpleasant situation.
> The point I am trying to make is that, Python with C extensions can be as considerably[1] performant as C code for network or memory bound tasks.

You don't make that point. You instead make the point that calling C code with glue code is slower than C code alone, and the performance hit of using Python as glue code in your case is a 2x slowdown.
It’s just not obvious that it’s meaningful to extrapolate current resource consumption out to forever. People have always adapted their behavior as different resources become more or less available. When some resources become too scarce to be economical, I expect we’ll find alternatives or we’ll find clever ways to do more with less.
Yeah, I just got done coming to terms with the fact that women hate me because I'm ugly and weird and unhealthy and that's also why my family didn't like me growing up, and the second I start making progress fixing it this shit happens. I'm 28 now. I have to go from totally weird and ugly as shit (might need surgery) to having an enjoyable career, a wife who's not repulsed or settling during temporary depression, and a normal social life before 30 or else I'm really a loser. I will probably be a loser.
I would be afraid if I don't find a competitor. It would mean lots of money for marketing.

The way I see it is, you have to be first something. a good example from 22 laws of marketing is - everyone knows who was first man to set foot on the moon. Second not so many. But then again people will remember first woman to do the same.

You have to be first at something..look for something that your audience cares but your comp hasn't paid attention or is in situation it can not.
For example Google will never get into content writing business because it won't achieve planet scale. But they will do content tools.
