As someone who's had this when I was a teenager, I can comment on a few things about it.

Mine looked like me. It actually was me, but younger. I imagined him when I was 11 and he never really aged.

I could see him everywhere, sometimes screaming at me from the bleachers on the football field, or right in front of my face. The unique thing though is that he would always comment on what I was doing. It was almost as if I was a machine and he would guide me to where I would go. This being said, there were a lot of disagreements I had with him.

I would notice that when I got overly emotional, he would disappear. When things settled down, he'd come back and comment saying how I shouldn't have thought of/done what I had. I'd have the emotional argument with my logical second personality. We were so distinct from each other that, even looking back on it now, he felt evil.

The biggest benefit for sure was that I never felt alone. People around me were genuinely worried about how much time I spent isolated from everyone else, but it never felt that way. It always felt like I had someone, arguably more important than friends because it seemed like he kept me alive.

The worst part about it was the 'mob' mentality. Initially it didn't seem like much but I noticed that there were some things that I wouldn't have agreed with months before. My opinions would change constantly and it all depends on what he would say. Just imagine overthinking and then having a really close and trusted friend jump to even worse extremes because they feel like it would keep you safe.

Definitely bad to my overall health but I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for him.
Good point. And the SODIMM-based pinout doesn't seem to include support for PCI-E or additional Ethernet, so that is indeed a bit limiting (though I'm betting some of the pins could be repurposed if both ends are configured for it, e.g. if there was some way for a SOPINE and baseboard to negotiate "hey, neither of us have camera support, so let's use the camera pins for extra Ethernet").
So who is your friend? Your team? I mean they work for the company, not you.
Can confirm. Right when my wife got pregnant I convinced her to listen to classical music and the binaural beats extracted from world-class chess champions for optimal early-fetus neuroplasticity. We weaned them off of breastmilk at one years of age in order to feed them Brappdu™, a proprietary (sadly not open source yet) super-food for toddlers (500% more nutrient-rich and 800% more cognitive-enhancing than breastmilk!). Legos™ at two years of age were, of course, no-brainers to me and the mother, as we are both engineers. We also made sure to plenty of empathy-boosting roleyplay with them, so that they can better interact with the kids their age (they need to learn to manage their future subordinates). All of this was a huge success: they started experiencing genius-induced migraines already at six years of age, while normal genius children only get them at twelve years of age and children of a more inferior stock never get the pleasure of ever experiencing it.

Right now they are studying at Stanford (started at age thirteen) and we hope that both of them will be posting on HN before the age of sixteen.
To be fair, of all of the editors I've used, emacs is the slowest and needs a profiler the most.
See also Huxley's _Island_ for his attempt at a utopia.

(although strictly speaking, a Utilitarian would claim Brave New World is already a utopia, because the Savage was the only discontent.)
The Muruga archetype along with the Krittika/Pleiades mythology helps me remember how to decode the nakshatra in a birth chart.

for example, i will always look for themes like fostering/IVF/sperm donation/adoption/caesarian etc if there is a prominent or strong krittika ..especially in the first pada of 13 degrees 20' of aries. also in taurus but it would be slightly different as taurus is venus ruled rather than mars ruled aries and hence the significations change entirely.

thats just an example of how mythology and archetype patterning can help like a mnemonic device. however, why it is always accurate is something i haven't been able to crack yet. but that's a different topic.
I believe their analogy is indeed predicated on having little to no downtime available. Think eggs Benedict for four in 15 minutes rather than a five hour brisket braise.

If you batch together cooking as well as cleaning tasks just because they both happen to be in the kitchen one ends up getting overwhelmed by both context switching as well as motivation.
Link should be updated to: https://bugs.otr.im/otrv4/otrv4 (it's the actual upstream, not a clone). I wish there was a write-up on what it improves over its old version.

OTR was great, until Signal/Axolotl/OMEMO came about that allowed for multiple endpoints. OTR you had to establish sessions and if messages were received out of order or an end closed the session, you'd have to handshake again. I used it with GTalk before Google staked it dead, then on AIM for a bit until Verizon (I think?) finally staked that dead. It worked pretty well unless I had multiple computers up with OTR support in the clients. In this situation I'd have clients fighting each other to handshake and invalidating their old sessions.

Don't get me wrong, OTR is great because you can run it over most anything that doesn't mangle the text being sent whether that's IRC or whatever your text protocol of the day is.

Textsecure, which later became Signal was originally based on a stripped-down version of this... but SMS sucks for sending longer messages and verifying delivery order so that was abandoned.

> As an Apple critic or at least an Apple skeptic (even though I do some development on Mac hardware), I am curious what the future of Mac as a development platform is going to be.

As an Apple fan -- albeit one who came back to the platform after years with FreeBSD, Windows 2000/XP, and BeOS (yes, full-time for over a year) and who uses Linux via ssh daily -- I am concerned what the future of the Mac as a development platform is going to be. I think your first paragraph is right on point.

I don't mind Apple going their own way with Safari to some degree, and there are things I just like about it as a browser -- it's fast, I find its minimal UI a bit more to my taste than either Chrome or Firefox, and I like that it syncs tabs and bookmarks between all my devices. (Yes, I know I could get that if I fully committed to either Firefox or Chrome.) But adapting WebExtensions support and then requiring developers to wrap those extensions in Xcode-built Mac applications that have to be published on the App Store just seems like Apple shooting themselves in the foot. It may be a handsome space gray gun milled out of a single block of aluminum, but it's still a problem.

(I'm also not sure why Apple won't at least support Vulkan in addition to Metal, but that's probably a different discussion.)

In the past, societies used to handle such abusing behavior by ostracization. For smaller communities, it certainly could work today.

Yeah this was my interest at one point and did have a killer domain name which I let go. I've worked for all FAANG's except FB and I can sincerely tell you that every company struggles with this. There is not a single doubt it is helpful in every single way both personal and company, but maintaining after the initial enthusiasm. They all burn out. I know because I've started several from within. Both inter and intra-departmental.

There are many great biz models around this topic but Corp culture and entrenchment mindset "if it isn't broke, don't' fix it" and high churn makes for difficult acquisition if you want to sell a service from outside. It's also something that doesn't really provide any tangible results outside of feel good, nice to know but won't kill me if I don't know. So because of it, it's a hard sell.

This is still one of my passion to pursue now more so because of the pandemic.

What about the newsletter are you pondering?
The AWS name wasn't associated with Parler and the Capitol insurrection, but it likely would have been. This is all about getting ahead of the story and limiting any potential brand damage.

It's similar to when Cloudflare booted 8chan, after the latter was linked to the white nationalist terrorist attacks in Christchurch and El Paso.

I don't understand the rationale for your view. Why would slapping down a potential Twitter competitor be any concern of AWS?
Are you under the impression that everyone here is in the same kind of position of power that you are?

1. Not everyone here is a coder.

2. Not everyone who codes is in the US, or a small number of other countries, where salaries for coders are high.

3. Not everyone lives in a part of the US with multiple employers that they could work for (relocation may be infeasible for various reasons).

4. The company may be sponsoring the worker's visa.
It's also worth adding that the public health system is pretty good, or at least better than some other "first world" countries.
Sad that there's no equivalent to this in Linux.
Long-term resident of Japan here with no particular expertise or insights on longevity or health. Something that has struck me recently are the government-led educational efforts focused on nutrition for infants and children.

My daughter and one-year-old grandson live with me, and ever since he started eating solid food she has been feeding him exclusively homemade, vegetable-centric meals. When preparing the food, especially at first, she referred to guidelines for ri’nyū shoku (“weaning food”) in the Maternal and Child Health Handbook issued by the government for all babies [0, 1] as well as some cookbooks she bought. The emphasis of ri’nyū shoku guidance is on handmade, nonprocessed food; my daughter has yet to buy any commercial babyfood. She hasn't been able to have much interaction with other young parents (for obvious reasons), so I don't know how typical her approach to babyfood is. But my impression is that she is not unusual.

For older children, the government promotes something called shokuiku (food and nutrition education, [2]) that is incorporated into the school curriculum and is coordinated with the food that children actually eat at school. (Most schoolchildren eat school-supplied hot lunches.)

The specific guidelines for ri’nyū shoku and shokuiku seem to reflect both scientific research on nutrition and a nationalist nostalgia for traditional Japanese diet and eating customs.

IIRC, I've also read that they consider it helpful for allergy season. Japan supposedly has one of the worst allergy seasons in the world due to misguided industrial policy around timber.

TL,DR; After WWII Japan heavily incentivized reforestation to provide cheap domestic timber for industrial and defense purposes, but only with two types of trees, Japanese cedar and Japanese cypress. It turns out that even with this explicit industrial policy, it's cheaper to import timber, so trees weren't being cut down as fast as expected and the forestry industry had a declining workforce that couldn't maintain the forests. The resulting bi-cultural conifer forests grew so thickly that no sunlight reached the forest floor and these forests became devoid of biodiversity. And now all of these trees release a lot of pollen.

News flash:

There is always a boss.

8-5 job: Your manager is your boss.

Manager: Your senior manager is your boss.

Senior Manager: Your CEO is the boss.

CEO: Board of directors are your bosses. Shareholders too.

Investors: Are they the real boss!? No. ROI is the boss. All the variables that make them successful are their bosses.

Bootstrapped Startup?: Customers are the boss. PR is the boss. Ask founders how tied up and enslaved they are after they've invested time and effort into building a product or service.

Everyone has a boss: At the end, nature is your boss. Can’t escape death.

This is how the society works.

We are under a crazy tyranny of nature as replication machines mindlessly optimizing for resources.
Well it depends on what you are looking to achieve.

If you are looking for it to be a currency, traditional currency seems to perform better.

If you are looking to invest in some speculative instrument on the basis that the value is going up then Bitcoin and poppies seem to be good ideas.
> I know that some people will respond "not every employee is in this position to make demands". Well, it's all about how valuable your skills are. Make sure you can do things that other people can't, and you put yourself in a position where you always have the option to go work for another company.

I think GP was talking about workers in general, not just software developers. Software developers are in a super entitled position when it comes to this. Not every grocery store cashier, McDonald's worker, taxi driver, etc. can be expected to "do things other people can't".
> A large number of Japanese recipe are highly homecook-able especially for Japanese people living in Japan, who probably already have the right tools/ingredients. It all depends on what you usually shelf at home.

Agreed. I'm not making kaiseki every night, nor any night for that matter here in Tokyo.

Typically I'll have the rice cooker set to have rice ready at 17:00 when I finish work for the day. I'll usually have some dashi on hand that I made over the weekend, but otherwise it's a 5-minute job with instant stuff that's not powdered, or 20 or so if I feel like making it from scratch. Mix in white/red miso and any other extras, and soup's done. A quick stir-fry with some meat, bean sprouts, and a packet of seasoning takes me all of another 5 minutes, and that's dinner.

If it's noodles, I'll usually have some fried vegetables from the supermarket in the fridge, and that takes 5 minutes to heat up in the toaster oven. Udon can be boiled and done in that time. Slice up a green onion, mix in a raw egg, add soy sauce and some roe, and that's another quick dinner.

When I feel like doing something more major, making nabe on the weekends really isn't that much harder. Prepping ingredients takes maybe half an hour, and then it's just letting it simmer for another hour. Plus, leftovers from the last a long time.

Curry's also something else that takes an hour tops from start to finish.
I take this comment from GP as not criticizing but just showing his/her superiority.

> Making an unfounded assertion that long lines cause eye strain doesn't make your css any better. I certainly don't suffer from such a debilitating limitation. Anyone who does can just make their window narrower, or bump up the font size in their browser.

He/She is certainly not providing any critical feedback.

I do apologize for lashing out, and I don't have any excuse to put in for that.
>All of what you spoke about, and microelectronics in particular, could've never been done without sisyphean effort to nail hardest engineering problems in one go, because the nature of the problem does not afford "a half-solution."

Why is history littered with half solution nuclear powerplants then?

If Fukushima or Chernobyl were small modular reactors you could have shut them down and replaced them long before they had failed.

That's something we do in almost every industry, yet nuclear is pardoned despite the high impact of a nuclear disaster.

>You absolutely must solve such kind of engineering problems in fullest in one go, or it's not going to work.

That just means the plants will have critical construction flaws from the start or develop critical flaws over time.

>A reactor vessel is not like a piece of software you can let crashing for a few beta versions. It either has no holes, and it work, or it does have holes, and it leaks.

The nuclear industry is worse. Instead of removing the beta versions they just pretend that they are release ready and keep them around for decades until the inevitable high profile failure.
IMO this is why it is so critical to get to a position of having fuck you money as quickly as possible. This includes something having a side hustle that's ramen profitable so you won't starve to death when you get the boot for not working on weekends.

I recently watched a talk about people on autism spectrum (Asperger's Syndrome and full-blown autism) and it literally says that. People with Aspergers often can't fit in, don't get the rules by which others socialize, so they pretty often create a friend to escape loneliness.

It's insane, and thanks for the tip.

Nit: we don't use HTML like it's 2005 anymore. So instead of

<input type="..." />

with bogus XHTML-like slash at the end, just use

<input type="...">

Sorry, but it's a pet peeve of mine to point out cargo-cult idioms like that. The slash at the end was there to make your HTML parse as XML/XHTML. But unless you have very specific requirements (like serving your page as XHTML, or fruitlessly attempt to produce or parse your HTML using an XML toolchain) we don't do that anymore, even in 2019. The slash and the pretentious-looking space before it is ignored/error-recovered away by browsers and other HTML parsers anyway.

Sounds like alter ego created with techniques from MKULTRA project. It never ages. I (illegaly) read Fritz Springmeier's book about this. There's conspiracy theory too, about Katy Perry's alter ego that never ages that named Katheryn.

So I recently went review-shopping for kitchen-aid style mixer appliance. One of the highest rated products contained a paragraph similar to: "Makes cracking noises when running under high load, 9/10". That thing was literally 10 minutes away from being a letterweight, but still highly rated...

I have the same ereader, and I can understand the want for wireless book loading from a convenience point of view.

But from the “I don’t want to depend on proprietary software and/or require a privacy breaching login account” point of view, a Kobo is just fine. If you so desire, it’s just a USB drive with an e-ink screen attached. Connect - drop files - eject - read files.
This doesn't make sense to me as it has the opposite effect. If I want to buy an item, I'm pretty dead set on buying it. Now it's just to figure out which company's to buy. If I can't rely on reviews and get a terrible unit, I will return it and no longer trust Amazon for that item and turn elsewhere. Ultimately, Amazon lost some money, I lost some time, and Amazon lost the sale.
One of my favorite youtubers does this with power tools and other garage-that-doesn't-hold-cars appliances. (Arduino V Evil/AvE)

Takes things apart and critics the design, goes over some of the tradeoffs that might have gone into designing the thing, and tries to figure out what the failure modes are likely to be.

I wonder if anybody in the circle of youtubers around him does the same for appliances.
Just curious, what have you done until now? Oftentimes unique experiences can help fuel future growth. For example, if you were a big digital nomad, you could write about and sell services around the lifestyle, like a paid newsletter, since many people are interested in things like that.
Tangentially related, but I'm adding this as it may help someone some day.

I never really thought about it until a co-worker, out of the blue, asked me, and I had to give words to the phenomenon.

I was walking in the hall at work one day, and said co-worker came up to me and asked. "Hey, distantaidenn, why do you always seem so happy?" I was a bit taken aback, because I never smile, but I suppose I do have an upbeat, and almost relaxed attitude about me.

Then I told him, "You know that voice in your head?" Assuming, most people have one. "Well, the voice I use is constantly giving me positive feedback. Even when things are going bad, it's supporting me and telling me anything is possible."

Until that coworker had asked me, I didn't even realize it, as it was just something I learned to do. When I was younger, and still trying to "figure people out", the voice was somewhat negative and doubtful. I lived a life of confusion and fear. But since adulthood, the one person that I can always count on to keep me upbeat is that little ever present voice, supporting me and pushing me forward each day.
That may be for Capitalism, but that's not what we have today. We have Corporate Feudalism. Capitalism makes a bunch of assumptions about the freedom of the market, freedom of information, freedom of capital and labor and so on - most of which Corporate Feudalism has undermined.

Capitalism and Communism has suffered the same fate from the same source, and this will remain true until we move into the age of plenty from the age of want, and probably beyond.
Context switch and kernel scheduler implemention details also dominate the networking busy loop tests with one client. The kind of naive benchmark you see often in blog posts where every database tested seems to deliver like 10k ops per sec. You are actually just measuring the latency in the networking ping pong the kernel is able to sustain between two processes, so usually the fastest client implementation wins (because the rest is the same for all the systems, being outside the systems).
I would add that an alter ego created by trauma in the brain would be isolated by the brain thus never ages.
