> I think discussing suicide rate overall is almost a red herring.

I agree, especially if people are comparing stats across countries without an understanding of how those stats are created. Are the numbers used age-standardised? If not you're going to see higher rates in countries with an older population. Are they using the same definition for death by suicide?

> Rates are very low, statistically speaking.

Rates for the US and for Japan are high. Suicide is a mostly preventable death. Suicide is most common among people who are 40 and older, so it takes people well before they'd die otherwise. Suicide has a large impact on survivors (eg, relatives of the deceased) -- it significantly increases their risk of dying by suicide and it degrades their quality of life.

We need to pay more attention to suicide, even if people think the rates are low.

Sprinting solo from idea to MVP
You probably know firefox-mobile-config, it's what makes Firefox somewhat usable on Mobian, Arch Linux ARM, Manjaro and postmarketOS. It scales the UI, but it does not really change it to that degree.

Thanks! I have been busy with my day job lately, so I have just been trying to use my PinePhone with Phosh mostly. Lomiri is nice, but Manjaro Lomiri is not yet at the point where it does not break on upgrades, which makes it nice to play with but impossible to use.
Interesting. There is a range vent hood but we could still smell it throughout the house (or at least most of it).

Also, I've lived in several other places with gas ranges and never encountered that before. Maybe it was just worse with that range?

On the contrary, vaccinations started early in November in the UAE. They are using the weaker Chinese vaccine though.
I saw two performances of Einstein on the Beach during its revival. Glass intended it to be like Indian classical theater where you can get up and walk around whenever you want. I stayed except for a bathroom break, while friends left to smoke. I think Glass was trying to make a state of mind, not just have people hanging onto every note.

Even during Mozart’s time, opera was such a social event that people complained you could hardly hear the music.

I’m all for careful listening, but we shouldn’t invalidate people who listen to Glass the way he intended.
I've been mostly functional throughout my career, so that method would have appealed to me before. The idea is to never mutate but always create a copy of data to prevent race conditions. Fundamentally though, you are mutating data. We have to accept this. Creating copies at each iteration does not change this. The question then is what abstraction allows mutation without allowing data races.

Recently I was looking into how I would implement a simple TCP protocol in C++. I think Boost's ASIO (asynchronous IO) provides the correct abstraction for this. It allows you to write your code as if it were single-threaded. Code which needs to be serialised can run on the same "strand". Strands simply serialise code, even if the code runs on separate threads.

I think this abstraction would work for the example in your link as well.
>>It’s trivial to pick someone up when they leave the house for literally anything.

Yes, but it costs more and the potential hazard justifies it. Of course, if there are innocents involved the police might go in anyway, and they will allege such danger in the request for the warrant. Obviously Rebekah presented a suspected danger of continued cybercrime unless her alleged activity was interrupted immediately. Looking for the warrant...?

All laws implicitly carry the premise of enforcement by deadly force. What you see on the video is just stock procedure embodying that premise. This is the product of calling the police "Law Enforcement Officers".

Best question in this thread.

With regular AirPods, they work individually. You don't have to use both. So it's helpful to think in terms of each one being its own thing, even though they're paired.

Not the case here.

I'd imagine Schiller would say that AirPods Max is both singular and plural, given this tweet on iPad Pro: https://twitter.com/pschiller/status/725791354769399808

I'd add that over-the-ear (so, one item) "headphones" have a similar issue as AirPods Max. I'd probably call two of these products "two pairs of AirPods Max." (Well, actually I'd probably just say 'two pairs of headphones' but that's a dodge.)
Sennheiser HD650 + an empirically incredible amp and dac will run you between 1 and 2 grand. For speakers multiply that by 10 at least. And they still won't sound as clear and intimate as something pressed up against your head.

And also open backs just bleed noise, they don't shake the room, so unless someone is next to you they aren't gonna hear anything anyways.
Debian Stable might be more analogous to CentOS, but they don't do major feature backports like RHEL does, so I find stable is often much too old by the time it's actually released.
Razor is basically doing the same thing. People love sticking to brands.
Hey HN! Author here.

I'd love to hear any feedback you have on my MVP process (or my solution). I haven't started building yet, but I hope to have an early prototype ready in just a few weeks.
Regardless of how the bass response is tuned, higher total harmonic distortion is objectively worse than less total harmonic distortion. Headphones are a tool to enjoy audio experiences, and a good tool should get out of the way of said experiences.
wait the old one? Or does this somehow mean USB C in Appleese?
There is simply absolutely no need for on ear computation to make low quality drivers sound better.

In ear headphones have evolved beyond plastic cones for a long time. At that price, you're competing against the very best balanced armature drivers, which basically have perfect frequency responses and harmonics, as well as against planar magnetic and the very best dynamic drivers too.

As for computing audio, yeah that's simply useless. Just have the DSP at the device. The device, iPhone, or Mac, or a PC, or whatever, is aware of which headphones it is connected to, and can trivially run the correction routines itself. In fact, this is already done by many.

In ear headphones aren't going to have enough battery to power a cellular modem.
Its wild to see such different experiences. I have QC35s and they've never paired correctly with my iPhone. Part of that, I suspect, is because you have to use the stupid Bose app to pair your BT headphones. Why Bose doesn't let you pair them using the standard system is beyond me.

In the end I only use the QC35s on my laptop which is a total disappointment.

heh.

I think it is a current mainstream view and what they are told in school by their female teachers but I don't really see pressure from society on anything to be honest. I also don't really see men in general trying to fit any model.

Australia started a war against Emus...

... and lost. I don't see it as emasculating, but I still laugh about it and I am solidly on Team Emu.

> there is pressure on men to live up to traditional masculine stereotypes

No, not really. Maybe I am oblivious to it, but that would be the same as no pressure, wouldn't it?

And I think there is merit not in classical roles, but in knowledge about family relationships. Men raised by single mothers or without a male parent will have difficulties to cut ties to start their own lives. Mothers have difficulties to let them and sons might feel guilty to leave and neglect themselves. That can happen with genders completely mixed up, but it is common in this constellation. This is such a common occurrence it isn't even funny anymore.

> Yet, they also had the highest levels of endorsement of men's use of violence, homophobia, breadwinner roles and men's patriarchal power and control in relationships.

No wonder, maybe because you try to gaslight them with your shit about gender roles. Get your shit together, women.
It’s ludicrous but I’m still tempted. It seems like they uniquely offer the best UX in headphones since unlike AirPods you don’t have to intermittently take them off to charge them if you’re using them all day. “The best UX” is assuming you’ve bought into the rest of the Apple ecosystem, of course.
There are many reasons why this doesn't work, at least sometimes.

First of all, you have to trust that the reviewer is truthful (this case, NY Times, might be given a pass).
So you either check a bunch of reviews and frequently come out more confused than going in, even as someone who's knowledgeable about the subject or you just buy something from a brand you already trust.

Secondly, the problem with reviews is that they're done by specialists. To give you an example for movies. I've watched some of the movies which are top rated by experts. Frequently I've found that I just don't like them. Too artsy. You know what they say about specialists: they know more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing. At some point specialists basically turn into aliens. Their tastes stop intersecting with those of the average J. Doe.

In many cases you just want a brain-dead solution to a problem because you're using your neurons for something else. And one of the safest brain-dead solutions is to go with a brand you already trust. Another one is to go with the crowd. Apple is kind of both.

And I say this as someone that generally avoids Apple products :-)
> If your software is making some money using QT6, you will have to pay. Otherwise you can happy use the LGPL License

Nope, you can make a commercial closed-source application that links against LGPL-licensed library. Also, the source code model has nothing to do with "making money". For example, Qt is certainly "making money" with their source code, but did you know that the WebView component in Qt is actually COPIED from Apple's Safari WebKit source code? Yes! So they are STEALING Apple LGPL source code and making money with it! And what more, Apple Safari certainly runs on iPhones and Apple if someone is certainly making some big $$$!

You seem to have misunderstood what changed. No, Qt did not change the licensing terms to charge for "making money" with Qt. They just made more of their previously free support functions exclusive to paying licensees.
That's the thing, performance should dictate the algorithms, not the other way around and TLA+ can't make this process any easier, only harder. I get it's not the case at AWS, where distributed services AWS thinks customers might want is what dictates the choices, but this is an exception, not the rule and unless someone wants to work there they have no reason to be doing it this way, especially not for educational purposes learning distributed systems.
Then why did Apple lower the prices of iPhones, iPads, and MacBook Airs?

According to that link’s definition of a “Veblen” good, if Apple had raised prices, then demand would have increased. Either someone in charge of pricing Apple products missed out on huge revenue increases by failing to raise the price, or it’s not a Veblen good.

And there is no contention that the amortized cost of an iPhone SE, iPad Mini, or MacBook Air gets you the lowest cost to quality ratio of any competing product that also last the longest.
I've long time wondered how big of a factor silicon valley was in US pulling ahead in many areas in cold war. Computers seem such an economic and technological amplifier, and of course also other (e.g. analog) electronics advances were also important and they all happened pretty much in US or at least in West.
Now that Apple is making the switch to Arm, Windows 10 on Arm support is getting much better.

That's true of a ton of things in audio, video, and lots of other things. Pros and enthusiasts spend thousands on gear that makes a tiny difference in experience, output quality, etc. It makes sense in some situations. But a lot of people who have the money also just overspend.

The article subtly flips the script at the end so much we might be missing the point if we look too much into the title of the article.

The "system" we've collectively developed forces blank slate souls to develop and play out our learned behavior in order to survive, or feel like we're surviving, in the world. But, as the article explains, we do not (typically) inherently hold, are not born with, nor do genetics code for, these "dark" or "light" traits. Therefore the emergence of "dark" or "light" tendencies is really more decided by the family, community, and economic systems. It is not that a "dark" or "light" trait necessarily allows a person more to succeed, but it suggests that some family, community, and economic systems require a person to develop what we would label "dark" or "light" traits from our perspective in order to survive. It appears the point of the article is: when we come across a person with "dark" traits, it is not entirely THEIR fault they have "dark" traits, it is more OUR fault we cannot shape our family, community, and economic systems to produce people with "light" traits.
That doesn't answer the question though, which was what percentage of clothes actually sell. I wasn't asking what happens if the clothes don't sell.
The biggest and most consistent downside I see with these DNS enhancements is that it prevents filtering at the network level. Querying nameservers is being pushed into applications themselves to support these new features (such as Chrome and Firefox), which bypasses any system resolvers configured on the host. In most cases there is no way to signal from the network that it is not desirable to do this (Firefox being the sole exception). There also is no good way for enterprises to centrally manage these settings. DNS is a major source of information when doing threat hunting on a network and having that go dark is a big problem.

Enterprises aside, there has been a rise of people using solutions like pi-hole in their home networks to filter out traffic not just for ads, but known malicious domains, and telemetry trackers (which Apple does get filtered by, only calling them out specifically because they have an active interest in not being filtered like this).

Yes I think it's also a problem that ISPs are snooping and selling this information, but I think that is a less severe problem than rampant malware infections and the excessive collection of online usage data in the telemetry systems present in every webapp, OS, mobile, or IoT device. This increases privacy in one place, while making it much harder to actively protect yourself from the more aggressive and invasive sources of data collection.
> I am sure I can ask it to format itself?

You don't want to be doing anything of the sort. That is a misconception. The representation of the Lisp program in memory is not the source code. Lisp is not homoiconic according to the original definition by Douglas McIlroy, which is that programs are stored in memory in the original representation entered by the programmer.

Some Lisps keep only a compiled version of the code in memory.

Even those that keep the structural source code in memory (e.g. in support of the ed function in Common Lisp or something like it), it will not be faithful to the original. For example, semicolon comments are stripped away by the reader, and any read-time processing is performed. For instance, Lisps that process the backquote syntax at read time will not preserve the original.

I've also never heard of a modern Lisp implementation in which a global variable definition like (defvar foo (+ 1 2)) retains the unevaluated (+ 1 2) somewhere.

How integrated Lisp environments work is that there are editing buffers with code, and code is re-read from those buffers when edited, into the same running image. Some of the buffers may contain "throwaway" calculations, like interactive testing, and some contain files that are persisted (and version controlled). The user interface doesn't necessarily run in the same image; it could be connected to a remote image (exemplified by users working with Emacs to interact with an image over Slime).
Never commented on the internet before, but I just started to learn playing the Intro Theme to Candyman on piano [0] yesterday and then saw this. Weird coincidence...

The movie Candyman itself and the rest of the songs in the score are also fantastic.

Yes, John Cage is probably the most well-known "avant-garde" composer.

Calling music by this term communicates a powerful judgment about its place in musical history. And it is simply, unavoidably incorrect. It has nothing to do with the music itself - it has to do with his musical process and how it jives with the basic musical environment of his time.

If the whole musical world were like John Cage, Philip Glass's works would definitely be avant-garde. But because the musical world is a lot more like Philip Glass, using the word "avant-garde" to describe his contributions is simply untrue.
With the massive increase in fuzzing, especially around core projects like OpenSSL, I'm surprised that there was still a crash reachable from an x509 cert in the x509 parser. Anyone have any insight on why it wasn't found sooner?
Wow. I kind of new this day was coming. I work in engineering / science (not comp. sci or developing) and all our software vendors are Windows or RHEL support only. Although if you know your way around linux any flavor will do, but RHEL is the "standard" for support. It's kind of like "insurance." We expect this to compile / work for RHEL and NOTHING else, because RHEL is stable, predictable, and boring.

I've run most all the flavors of linux and am on the Ubuntu train. Actually, I flirted with the RHEL / Fedora / CentOS workflows as current as last year for a few months. I love the predictability and stability of RHEL on workstations and the thought of something new on a laptop or what not. While I respect the hell out of RH and their products, it just didn't work for me. Fedora is WAY too experimental, lacks supports, and is prone to your system breaking. I know, I know, it is pretty stable and has a lot of support behind it. But after updating via yum and having my WIFI stop working on my 6 year old Thinkpad, that is a deal breaker. I think there is way too much disconnect between their projects. RHEL is super stable, but the packages are severely outdated. Fedora is too experimental, and is pretty much a home operating system and a playground. I know CentOS is free, but depending on your business is paying $300 / year / machine for legitimate support and ticketing really an issue? That's for everyone to decide on their own. I think Ubuntu LTS is the best middle ground for stability and new packages. And if you need paid support and professional help, you can pay Canonical as well.

I could see this coming. CentOS didn't really show a value proposition for RH picking up the tab and supporting it. CentOS was recompiling RHEL and shipping it off; RH needs to keep their PR and image inline and HAD to help, since the whole point of CentOS was "this is RHEL without RH graphics and copyrighted material." IMO, RH felt like they were doing the same thing twice; producing RHEL, then removing RHEL branding and helping package up and compiling CentOS. Due to this, I think the biz folks scratched their on why they needed money, and now we have Centos Stream. I have no doubt another project will spin up taking up the slack of just recompiling RHEL.

Different tools for different jobs. Maybe Centos Stream will be awesome! Maybe it can fill the gap between Fedora and RHEL.
Wasn't CentOS "adopted" by RedHat because no one else really wanted to do the work?

A revived Scientific Linux could easy suffer the same fate. No one truly want to maintain a RedHat clone for little to no pay, while at the same time dealing request and complaints from companies who wants the benefits of RHEL, but no pay for the development and maintenance works done by RedHat.

Realistically it's some bean counter at IBM who asked why RedHat is giving away the very same thing they're trying to sell. Said bean counter do have a point in my opinion.
That suggests that I believe the right amount of ketchup on food is zero. That's incorrect. I'm not saying you shouldn't ever cache anything. I'm saying that caching is used to cover up a lot of architectural flaws, when sometimes we would be better off if we fixed the flaws.

And I'd add that you notion that the only two options are "cache X" and "rerun all queries" is a part of the problem here. There are more things, Horatio.
