maybe WPA, which lets you sample stack traces from user-mode all the way through drivers? Or DbgView, which lets you see printk output from kernel mode.

The HR person let it slip to me one day that I was making $5k less than my boss. My boss had made comments about my salary given my position. We wanted to hire an Engineering Manager from outside the company, this person would not hire someone very qualified because he lacked a degree. I mentioned something in passing one day, joking, saying I wanted to be the CTO - this person told me 'fine, go get a PhD'. No one was going to advance to be equal to or beyond this person without an advanced degree.

Does the device have to create negative pressure or does a constricted airway have the same effect?

I'm no expert - but it seems to me that, so long as you're able to breathing at same rate and resistance, a small negative pressure (ex. with a powered fan) would be aerodynamically equivalent to a constricted airway (ex. breathing through a tube).

Is a powered device meaningfully different than just breathing through a boba straw or similar (would be much cheaper...)

Yes of course, because all of those people have ambitions and desires. They feel pain and they seek pleasure, which they experience through their bodies.

We're not taking commissions on any of the bounties.

We started off with that mindset, but it didn't really make sense as a business decision, and I don't find the those kind of fees fair for users.

For monetizing, we're working on a buildout where closed source companies can list issues as well. Which will operate more like a typical freelancing platform.
There might be some nuances of interpretation, but people in the UK have every right granted under the first amendment. We have an established religion yes, but we still have freedom of religion. That’s really the only significant caveat I can think of.

Every persons right is another person’s responsibility. If you have the right to free speech, I have the responsibility to tolerate you exercising it. If I have the right to drive a car, you have to tolerate the noise and pollution. We all bear the costs of paying for government and services such as the police and judiciary that protect and guarantee our rights.

There are clear well exercised mechanisms for amending the US constitution. Just saying it’s your right and you feel no obligation to justify it, is no good argument for others to continue granting it if they feel the cost is too high.

>It's easy to recommend "end-to-end" when you're about to force a backdoor into it.

I'm not surprised that HN readers think politicians are all so dumb that they recommend their own staff use Signal and then recommend to break Signal. This kind of news pop up all the time and in almost all instances it turns out it isn't what is actually happening. Discussing it on HN -especially when it is the EU, Russia or China- is a complete waste of time as almost every single comment is low effort or trolling. We all know that the EU won't have backdoored Signal any more today than the next ten times this gets discussed on HN. It's all smoke and mirrors.
Yeah, Maoism caused circa 74 millions of deaths at home. Its very hard to believe they are treasuring human rights in any form. We should give India a break and let them fight terrorist incursion before people get hurt.

You probably could add resistance by pursing your lips but with a device results will be more reproducible.

Now that I know that it might help with blood pressure I will try using it seriously.

Increased stratification is largely driven by rewards to technical skills, and technical training/STEM degrees are not the main source of "elite overproduction" by any stretch. Quite to the contrary, this is basically all coming from an extremely traditional idea of education (some would say many centuries or even thousand years old) positing that there's some sort of inherent merit to being an "intellectual" (whatever that might mean) being "socially aware" (again, a very fuzzy idea) or musing about "the human condition", even whilst actual technical merit is broadly disparaged as "beneath" one's perceived station.
I agree with your general outlook but would also question why we need to make "efficiency" a goal to be attained at all costs. Why not rotate who does the drudgery jobs so no-one gets stuck doing it day in and out? It might be less efficient but everyone would appreciate the work that needs to be done more and no-one would be pigeon holed. What sort of efficiency loss is that worth?

As long as we prioritize economic efficiency there will be an never ending treadmill of improving efficiency. Until we start bringing human factors into the equation we will stay on this path.
> * Ada has pointer arithmetic, you can overflow buffers or read out of bounds.

Not true. Arrays have bounds and those are checked. However, you can do arithmetic with the type ptrdiff_t of the package Interfaces.C.Pointers. You can also do an Ada.Unchecked_Conversion on a pointer that you get from a C function. Obviously that's unsafe.

> * Dynamic allocation is straight unsafe and unchecked

If allocation on the heap fails, it will raise a Storage_Error, but you can catch it. Also, the language has a lot of restrictions on when you may copy and store a pointer.

> * Accessing uninitialised variables is not forbidden.

True, but there are pragmas like Normalize_Scalars (to initialize them to invalid values) or Initialize_Scalars.

> * You can dereference null pointers

True, but dereferencing will raise an exception. Also you can define non-null pointers like this:

type Foo_Ptr is not null access Foo;

or add a "not null" constraint to a nullable pointer type:

procedure Bar (Value : not null Foo_Access);
> What many of today's software authors want/expect is free testing.

Many of apps and tools are open-source and free. While I assume everyone wants to provide best experience, it's hard for me to justify being angry for bugs and problems in tools that I got for free, not bought them.

Secondly, the industry realized that going fast, releasing often, measuring results, and improving over time is a winning strategy. No matter how often we as users will complain that "they changed something again", we still want to get things fast. Deploying new version once per year is not something we would really like in most cases.

And fast development cycle inevitable comes with bugs, but they can be fixed quickly, not in the next year. Because even if you spend 2 months on testing your app, it will still contain bugs that will surface after the first real user touches the app.
I've got a feeling some of the posts that do mention "part-time" are just signalling, which is why I have a ton of them marked "part-time possible" instead of just part-time.

Very insightful post. One thing I've often thought about America is we have less traditional sources of wisdom and value since we basically threw out all tradition.

I think you left out the biggest thing people do to fill the void of existential dread: spend money! America is far more obsessed with that habit than any of the ones listed in my experience.
Unity has always been more "ECS" than "OOP" though (traditional Unity has Entities and Components for composition instead of inheritance, modern Unity moves Component data and logic into Systems for performance).

But opium sure as hell wasn't! And it seems to check most of your suggested boxes too, however I don't think it makes for a good society, perhaps you should consider why, because it's pretty much what you're suggesting.

Why enjoy social interaction? Why enjoy arts? Why learn things? You'd be perfectly happy with more magic hedonism pills. Unpleasantness, and yes, pain is as important a part of being as any other part.

Just writing down the connections here for myself and maybe others:

A matrix represents a linear function taking a vector and returning a vector, written as

w = M v

Matrix multiplication corresponds to function composition.

Vectors can be indexed, and we can view them as a function i -> v[i] defined on the indexing set. We can also define basis vectors b_i, such that b_i[j] is 1 at index j=i and 0 otherwise. Any vector can be written as a weighted sum of basis vectors, with the vector components as coefficients:

v = Σ_i v[i] b_i

where Σ_i represents summation over the index i.

Matrices can be indexed with two indices, and this is closely related to vector indexing: For a matrix M, we have

M[i, j] = (M b_j)[i]

Each column of the matrix represents its output for a certain basis vector as input.
By writing a vector as a sum of basis vectors and using linearity, we get the well-known matrix-vector multiplication formula:

(M v)[i] = Σ_j M[i, j] v[j]
A crypto-token tracking the listed security of a company that is itself so heavily invested in crypto that the security price more or less tracks with crypto reminds me of the new new internet from Silicon Valley.
Opioid receptor modulators are being researched as an avenue for treating pain[1]. They don't cause opioid tolerance or addiction, but do offer increased pain relief, and some are available today like CBD, THC and other cannabinoids.

They seem kind of promising for pain that's alleviated well with opioids versus non-opioids.

In a lot of code I've seen, there are threads polling some variable without using any sort of special guard. The assumption (based, I assume, on how you really could get away with this back in the days of single-core, single-CPU computers) is that you only need to worry about race conditions when writing to primitive variables, and that simply reading them is always safe.
"Fake stocks" does make it sound like the users are being mislead into thinking that they are buying actual stocks. Which doesn't seem to be the case.
Mapping Threats to Peace and Democracy Worldwide: Normandy Index 2021 [pdf]
It’s not just religion. In Bangladesh, where I’m from, there’s a whole bunch of social norms and practices enforced by your mom talking about you to your aunties and your dad talking with your uncles. In fact, my family was quite non-religious, but we still had all this cultural infrastructure.

Two concrete examples. Families have strong involvement in marriage. This isn’t just “here’s your spouse take it or leave it.” It’s a process by which people who have been married a long time and coach a young person about what qualities to look for in a marriage partner. (I remember my wife remarking 8 years into our American-style marriage that she was surprised by how inconsequential her dating preferences at 25 turned out to be. “Who cares what kind of music your husband likes at 2 am when the baby is crying?”)

There’s also a lot of active coaching in marriage. I remember my dad being dispatched by the aunties to fly to another state to coach a young couple going through a rough patch.

Write.as - Remote (I'm based in Florida) - Seeking marketer / business developer

Write.as is a simple, privacy-friendly blogging platform made for writers. It's focused on doing just one thing well: helping you get your words published on the open web. It's powered by open source software called WriteFreely, and is part of a suite of interconnected publishing tools that I'm building: Snap.as for photos, Submit.as for submission management, Draft.as for collaboration, and so on.

As a company, we're entirely bootstrapped and founder-owned, and after 6 years, very modestly profitable. But in many ways, we're still very early. Our customers are writers, bloggers, teachers, and authors, plus some companies, publications, and public libraries. There's no "exit" or fundraising potential in sight; just a small, sustainable company I hope to continue running for many decades.

I put most of my focus on building product and supporting current customers, to the detriment of us growing quicker. But there is plenty of room to grow, and I'm looking for someone who can join in a cofounder-like capacity to help move the needle in a way that matches our calm pace and principles [0]. If you're interested, I'd love to hear from you: matt {at} write.as

It is certainly much easier. But if that kind of self study culture doesn't already exist in one's own school, either encouraged by teachers or classmates, it may take a much bigger leap to discover that material.

I think it's important to consider scale when discussing metadata vs raw content

Getting high precision is difficult when done on "all content", especially considering the multitude of languages and dialects in Europe. At a certain point, more data does not result in better output, sometimes it's actually detrimental

The patterns that arise from metadata are much more generalisable and there's less of it, so it's easier to search through
Sometimes multiple writable entries for a single object are desirable.

As an advanced feature there's plenty of room for abuse and footgun problems, but it's still occasionally, maybe even rarely, the correct tool for the job.
Too many people believe those things are entitlements when in fact they are tradeoffs. Like half my high school graduating class dropped out of college or didn't even start and many make decent wages or have dual income with a significant other. Many of which own homes or live decently. None of which demanded free rent and a college education.

There's no contradiction if you take the privacy part as what it is: marketing BS. It's not something the EU would ever actually defend or protect on principle. Any appearance to the contrary is coincidental, like the GDPR.
I agree with you on Webvan but Theranos was pure fraud.

The so called "Crypto" industry will mature when regulation happens and when real cryptographers and real computer scientists enter the scene and start innovating. Until then we have hyped up teens playing with the buzzwords like blockchain and decentralized finance.

>The size and scope of the scams currently going on in the Blockchain world is far worse than what happens in US regulated markets.

I somewhat tend to believe that governments all around the world are giving the "Blockchain world" grace period of not being tightly regulated so they can catch as many crypto criminals as they can because let's be honest if these guys were not stealing in the crypto world they would be stealing somewhere else. And I also tend to believe that current financial regulations are enough to regulate crypto as it is but governments are moving slowly as usual.

Hydrogen is guaranteed to be the future of energy storage. What we're seeing now is the normal "reaction" from established business that fear being disrupted. It's so predictable that it's embarrassing to even see people try to argue it away on a website like this.

Remember, people said the same thing about electric cars and they were wrong. This is just history repeating itself. In a decade, no one will seriously try to argue against hydrogen.
I'm obviously not proposing it as a solution - just pointing out that this used to be part of the social regulatory calculus and now it's gone.
