I'm surprised these were all actually distinct chocolates and that some of them weren't just relabelled bars produced by a different company on the list already.
>Snide viewpoints like this are one of the main reasons people with mental illness often hide their conditions and suffer in silence.

It is profoundly psychologically damaging to be forced to cooperate (work, live, socialize) with such people who tacitly dehumanize those they do not understand with casual and capricious ease, such as the way the top level commenter dismisses the OP with a superficial and borderline bad faith analysis of the link at hand.

No one should ever have to justify their feelings. That’s it’s. That’s my point. Hard stop.

As a society, culture, community we need to get to the point where we respect the feelings of others implicitly. Feelings are not equations, there are no right or wrong answers. By implicitly acknowledging all the feelings of others we are respecting each other and nurturing common ground where we can discuss the differences that underlie perception and create an environment ripe for interpersonal growth. Failure to do so breeds resentment and festers in the homes, workplaces, and communities where the feelings of some are neglected.

Once the certificate becomes obsolete, it becomes useless and therefore needs to be reacquired. Same process with American SSNs, if they were depreciated very 6 months getting yours published wouldn’t be an issue.
Well if the landlord doesn't pursue the debt as the OP stipulates, you wouldn't really know about the missed rent.
I've watched a few channels on retro-gaming where the authors intentionally marked the video as "age-resticted" with the usual disclaimer "the video might contain images that can be disturbing to some people". As in, 8bit gore.

Sadly, the authors need to do this preemptively to avoid getting flagged and potentially taken down.

Do you have some sort of an SLA with Rust, stating that all of this work should already have been completed?

Not in the US there isn't. And the ones there are are:

2. Not particularly family friendly

So if you are a high earner with roommates or a partner and no children, you have options. For the remaining 90% of the workforce, it isn't particularly feasible.

Maybe the right help is for the world not to be driven by the extroverted, over confident, and thoughtless.

I'm a physically imposing person, I'm tall and muscular, so I can get away with being introverted because nobody tries very hard to bully me to be extroverted, they try a little bit but back off quickly.

Most introverts aren't afforded the same luxury. Forcing introverts to adapt to an extroverted world can really mess with your head. To the extroverts of the world they don't see any issues what so ever, and all the introverts should "just get over it".
The same way you crack down on other forms of fraud? Ask for proof, bank statements, etc.

"never complains"

This is not my experience.

The number one complaint I get from non-technical people using computers is "This doesn't look like it used to, I don't know how to do anything anymore."
There's a trivial fix to all these problems: declare time spent commuting as billable work time. I'm amazed how this is not reality already, but the pandemic time should have made this obvious now.
>It’s about time that as society we open up about mental health and how to deal with our issues,

I hear this general refrain a lot, and something about it has always sounded wrong to me. What do people mean when they say "deal with our issues?" The way this sentiment is conveyed makes it sound like there is some promised land of mental health around the bend, if only enough people have the "right" attitude about it.

I'm not particularly convinced that there's much of any stigma against mild mental health issues these days. And by mild, I mean normal problems that most people will encounter in their lives (ie, OCD, anxiety, depression, etc.) In fact, a lot of people are actively encouraged to talk about their mental health problems, to a degree which would have been unthinkable in the 1950s. Generally, I think this has been a net positive for society. I know a lot of people who had they been born in an earlier time might have been marginalized, or felt that they were truly broken, rather than simply being neurotic. But, I also believe there are eventually diminishing returns to this approach. Constantly focusing on your problems and your negative emotions can have very perverse incentives. It's possible to become addicted to your own misery, and it's also possible to become addicted to the relief and the closeness that comes from people trying to sooth your psychological trauma. Generally speaking, any extreme emotions can be addicting, and moderation is not the same as repression.

Given that we keep talking about mental health issues more and more, but suicide rates for teens are generally increasing, I'm very skeptical that having more "conversations" about mental health is going to do much good at all. In the least, most of the "conversations" I see about mental health mostly have to do with putting on a big show of empathizing with the victim, who themselves are putting on a big show of displaying their emotions.

Now of course, if "conversations" about mental health means something different, such as an analytical approach to causes of trauma and positive mental health outcomes, then I'm all for it.
Focusing Talks: Three Questions
This is what I love HN for. Every now and then there's a submission like this that makes me go: "How do you even...".

That being said, is there maybe somewhere a more thorough write-up about the whole thing? You know, with more in-depth technical details, gotchas, and so on? I'm sure many people would enjoy reading that!

Thanks for posting!
I've got a ton of M. septendecim in my back yard right now. This is the first time I've heard this kind of call and it was definitely kind of creepy at first. A few get on my house in the middle of the night and then you can hear a single individual call. I thought it was a person outside, crying in pain, at first.

One thing nobody talks about is the stink that starts to develop about two weeks after they first start emerging. My backyard is disgusting with decaying cicada bodies. We even had a pretty long rain over the weekend and it's still pretty unbarable out there.
Any time a software release is touted as "fresh" I immediately get suspicious. What have they broken now in the name of trendiness?
When landlords close, their tenants end up back on the streets. The goal of the program was to prevent that.
It would be interesting to see an Americas-centric version of this test. I'm a huge fan of El Rey chocolate (from Venezuela), particularly their Caoba 41%-cocoa milk variety. Obviously, not much (if any?) cocoa is actually produced in the EU, but more or less all the chocolate brands tested are (this is not a problem, but leaves open the possibility of a repeat test with a totally orthogonal set of chocolate brands).
"My biggest challenge when putting together a talk is that I want to cover too much material... Sometimes I think that my tendency to talk about too much comes from excitement--I love what I am doing so much that I want to explain it all. To be honest, though, I think when I super-size a talk it's because I am desperate for approval." -- Oh yes, this sounds too familiar. Kent Beck suggests an important exercise to deliver great talks: (1) pick one person who represents your audience (2) figure out how to grab their full attention and (3) figure out what they should do after they listen to your talk.
While that is also true, the parent post was pointing out that the landlord has a cash flow issue without rent coming in.

If they can't pay the mortgage without a renter paying, they may have the property repossessed by the bank.
I used D for a while. It improves several things over C++, among them:

- More powerful metaprogramming capabilities.

- Better module and library system.

- Nicer syntax.

The problem IMO is it's just not enough to justify a total move from C++ -> D. The syntax of C++ can't really be fixed, but the other aspects can be improved without a new language.

Furthermore, many of the other downsides of C++ are still present:

- The complexity of the language, and then the sheer number of different ways of doing the same thing.

- Some pretty dark corners in the way stdlib/language feature were implemented that seemed hard to ever fix.

- The way behaviour is specified in the language is very tied to the underlying hardware: rather than explicitly describing behaviour in terms of an abstract machine, it works more in the way C++ is specified where we all know it operates on an abstract machine thanks to compiler optimizations, but the spec likes to pretend it doesn't...

And then there are problems that are introduced by D, such as the fact that a safe subset exists, but depends on GC, so there's a weird split where no "safe code" can be used in contexts where GC is unsuitable.

Contrast this to Rust, where:

- There is a true step-change in bringing safe code to all contexts, not just those where GC can be used.

- It's missing a lot of the complexity of C++. Rust is hard because it has concepts that are foreign to a lot of programmers, but the total number of features is low (compared to C++) so there are fewer surprising ways they can interact.

- Rust is a suitable replacement for C, not just C++, because it's not just adding more features.
Door-to-desk plus desk-to-door was 3 hours for me. Even with the google bus that was pretty rough.
It is interesting to think how the incentives grew to make developers create applications which are more attention grabbing with time.

In the msdos days, an app was installed to a directory.

In the win 3.x days, an app was installed to a directory, created a program group OR shortcut on the desktop.

In the win95 days, an app was installed to a directory, created a program group AND shortcut on the desktop.

In the win98 days, an app was installed to a directory, created a program group, shortcut on the desktop and quicklaunch bar.

In the win98se days, an app was installed to a directory, created a program group, shortcut on the desktop, quicklaunch bar and systemtray when run.

In the winme days, an app was installed to a directory, created a program group, shortcut on the desktop, quicklaunch bar and systemtray when the system started.

In the winxp days, an app was installed to a directory, created a program group, shortcut on the desktop, quicklaunch bar, systemtray when the system started and changed your default homepage.

In the winvista days, an app was installed to a directory, created a program group, shortcut on the desktop, quicklaunch bar, systemtray when the system started, changed your default homepage and added toolbars on ie.

In the win7 days, an app was installed to a directory, created a program group, shortcut on the desktop, quicklaunch bar, systemtray when the system started, changed your default homepage, added toolbars on ie and showed ads when run.

In the win8 days, an app was installed to a directory, created a program group, shortcut on the desktop, quicklaunch bar, systemtray when the system started, changed your default homepage, added toolbars on ie and showed ads when the system starts.

In the win10 days, an app is installed to a directory, creates a program group, shortcut on the desktop, quicklaunch bar, systemtray when the system started, changes your default homepage, adds toolbars on ie/edge, shows ads when the system starts and constantly tries to convince you to use this program or install others.

I actually don't know if ie/edge still have default homepage or toolbars, but you get the idea.
We need a regulator to step in and ensure that any telemetry is opt in and that the user will get compensated for use of their data if they opt in.
I'm surprised to be out of the loop on this. This is the first I've heard of Quebec's vaccine passports. As the OP says, it also implies there is an app, with a vendor, an infrastructure, and key management. (smarthealthit and azure as it appears to turn out)

The ethics and legality of vaccine passports are still very controversial, and using Quebec as a test ground for it seems like its part of an inevitable push, independent of popular assent to it. It's force, basically.

Using a JWT is sufficient for the purposes, and the vaccination status is basically a digital ID. This provides some mature and flexible structure to the token format, as opposed to say, a blockchain based one. The scanning app with the URI endpoints is going to be the interesting piece.

Having worked in the design of related concept, the main failure modes here are a compromise of the signing key which is probably in an azure HSM instance, or cached somewhere as just a k8s secret, mobile malware that steals or corrupts tokens, and then infrastructure ddos against that API endpoint during a holiday airline rush. There's also the question of how the code verification app works, as that's where the real vulnerabilites would be.

Given the amount of co-ordination required for a scheme like this to work, it is difficult to believe this is not being done in secret, and if so, why?
I welcome the UI changes. I don't use Firefox as my daily browser (team Safari) but it's definitely a solid update for me.

No, I don't believe they're a "hoax". I believe they are a well-intentioned attempt to control viral spread. But just like during Spanish Flu, they have not meaningfully changed outcomes for localities that required them vs. those that didn't. The scientific consensus in Western medicine for 100 years after analysis of Spanish Flu, was that masks do not prevent or slow the spread of a respiratory pandemic. You'd need a respirator for that (N95 "mask"), and you'd need to wear it all the time given what we know now about airborne transmission of Sars-Cov-2. We will soon be returning to this consensus with any luck:

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.18.21257385v...

"Randomized control trials have not clearly demonstrated mask efficacy against respiratory viruses, and observational studies conflict on whether mask use predicts lower infection rates. We hypothesized that statewide mask mandates and mask use are associated with lower COVID-19 case growth rates in the United States..."

"Conclusion: mask mandates and use are not associated with slower state-level COVID-19 spread during COVID-19 growth surges. Containment requires future research and implementation of existing efficacious strategies"
I feel it should be opt-in, that is I should be allowed to opt-in to data sharing. Why would I want this? Well if I were in a western country, for redundancy.

If I were in a non-Democracy then I might want my data to not only live in another country but only live there to protect me from my own country.
Is it just me, or have they gone from mimicking Chrome to mimicking Edge?
Is there something like chrome's tab groups for firefox?
