But you are pretty divided from an outside perspective.

You still haven't universally grasped very simple things the rest of the world nailed almost a century ago. Little things like "vaccines are good", "Nazis are bad" or "Universal healthcare is a basic human right"

As someone who was stuck on a 26 hour schedule for years, I just... grew out of it.

One day around age 26 it just went away after having been a problem since early high school. No clue why. If you're still young, your "problem" may simply be youth.
I never really got past the importing stage in GNUcash. I want to categorize the payments into different accounts, depending on how the money was spent. But there is no easy way of doing it. Or doing it iteratively.
I always wonder if some of the self reported dosage variability for pills comes from differences in absorbtion of pills. Maybe some ppl's stomach acids or bacterial flora destroy particular molecules more or prevents absorption more than in other ppl?
Your husband takes out a variable rate mortgage 120% of your homes value to spend on luxury goods, Buys a g-wagon, and starts embezzling from his company. Instead of paying for utilities you steal then from neighbors. To save on garbage collection you fly tip. The last 5 years have been wonderful for you quality of life.

You shouldn't question your situation because things are 'better'.
My experience also. Melatonin did absolutely nothing.

ZMA makes me drowsy within minutes. I can fight that off but will eventually succumb. The only side-effect I've noticed other than the incredibly vidid and sometimes nightmarish dreams is that the effect will linger long into the next day.

Mind you, the sleep is incredibly deep and restorative. It's not like some other sleeping pills that just knock you out, but you never reach REM sleep, waking up feeling tired.
This is how it goes with me, but it's quite frustrating and leads to a kind of doldrums. I reach the point where I've visualized so many extensions and classes I need to write, I can (and do) recite them to myself in the shower or while I'm doing dishes... and reorder them and come up with endless refinements... following each out to their conclusions or collisions... so that when I get to the point where I need to actually write them it's a totally redundant pain in the ass. This is how my projects begin to stall. Particularly once I get to adding UI features.

What's a lot harder than visualizing how it will all work and knowing you're right is sitting your ass in a chair and churning the goddamn thing out. Which, to his credit, this kid actually did. And which separates him from someone who just sees how the clock would work.
The official GitHub extension for VS Code actually provides a way to turn TODO comments into GitHub issues with minimal manual interaction. This can help avoiding the context switch of opening your ticketing system rather than just staying in the editor.

> If one has to have either a civil war or a world war (bizarre choice), a world war would actually serve to unite us, although our existing division is a weak starting place. A civil war destroys us from within, full stop.

If those are your options, what is wrong with being destroyed from within? The two sides can split the country and each get a share - say, in proportion to their numbers.

The British aren't exactly suffering after their empire dissolved. Life still looks pretty good for them.

There is no reason to unite people who do not want to be united.
So many toxoplasmosis articles in HN makes me think there’s a cat related secret civil war going on here. What is actually going on? Does OP hate cats? Are they in fact a dog person? What might be the cause of such bigotry? Nobody knows.
Australian law still allows New Zealand to join the federation, no questions asked, if they do decide to do so.
Not mutually exclusive. I could easily see a future where the breakup of the U.S. essentially sparks WW3 as every regional power takes the fall of the global hegemon as license to make war on its neighbors. Could totally see China taking Taiwan and eventually Japan, India and Pakistan erupting in bloodshed, Russia invading Eastern Europe, [the Middle East is already in flames], etc.

It also wouldn't surprise me if the CCP or Russia or both are conducting propaganda campaigns to break up the U.S. without them firing a shot. These strike me as very shortsighted; the threat of an external adversary is pretty much the only thing holding large empires together, so both of those are next on the break-up list of the U.S. splits. (Arguably, the primary factor behind political divisions in the U.S. was the breakup of the Soviet Union; without the external threat of communism we have nothing to remind us that we're more alike than different.)
Yes. Both the cathedral and the bazaar are valid approaches to OSS project management, with pros and cons.
The thing is, it's all relevant. You can't pretend human psychology doesn't exist
If you want the power to make your creations disappear whenever you want, then the last thing you should do is publish them under an Open Source software license. An important aspect of OSS and Free Software is that other people can use the software, modify it, and redistribute it, and there is no one out there, not even the creator, who can withdraw permission whenever they feel like it.

NPM had every right to republish those packages. Koçulu gave full consent when he originally published them as OSS.

If this bothers you, then maybe you should reconsider your licensing choices.
Well, I grant it's hard to quantify. It was recently reported that Fox had more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined, but that's TV.

On the internet, it's a very different story. If you block left-leaning news outlets on Apple News, your front page may contain nothing at all. Google News has a permanent section devoted to leftist "fact checkers". Their "beyond the headlines" section currently displays the NYT, BBC, Vox, Guardian, Atlantic, WSJ, Slate, Verge, and AP.

Technology that actually serves the individual that paid for it and respects privacy. We are capable of so much yet we collectively fail miserably on things such as this (climate is another example) in a race to the bottom chasing investor returns at all costs.
Built-in versioning and row-level permissioning
Its not a civilization crisis its a governance crisis (which is an important but small fraction of what constitutes a "civilization"). The adage "we have the politicians that we deserve" is true in the long term average but it may well not be true at each time-step.

The political system that produces governance is in itself a piece of social technology (set of laws, procedures, morals, behaviors etc) and it can easily become unfit-for-purpose. Why? because one of its primary tasks is to perpetuate an existing order. If it overdoes this "stabilization" task (that is, ignores material shifts in reality) it can hold society hostage. That period of disconnect between what society needs and what its organizational tech is offering can feel gut-wrenching and surreal.

All of the dysfunctions of the current era, e.g. environmental un-sustainability, absurd levels of inequality, rampant surveillance capitalism are well recognized and studied and, by-and-large, blueprints for solutions exist. Dig to find what is standing in the way and it is invariably i) an aged male politician and/or corporate leader who ii) has built a long career over decades knitting power networks with similar "winners" of his generation iii) is incapable of reinventing / invalidating himself and iv) will only be forced away from the cookie jar.

Maybe what is happening is not civilizational collapse but enormous resources and human talent (world-wide) are hostage to near idiotic (as in: non-adapted) political arrangements.

Hey, at least you didn't just quote the Emma Lazarus couplet and leave it at that, as if that by itself guarantees unlimited open borders for the United States for all time.

Now, someone is going to ... quote said couplet and leave it at that. So:

First, Lazarus's bad poetry was added to the base of the Statue of Liberty 20 years after the statue itself, as a fundraising effort.

Second, poetry (regardless of quality) does not policy nor law make.

Third, in any case, every single person who came through Ellis Island

* was a legal immigrant

* had passed a medical inspection

* had proof of having enough resources to pay for their upkeep in the US, or a US financial sponsor guaranteeing same

* was turned away if failing any of the above tests, with no possibility of appeal

I, for one, am very much in favor of reinstating such barriers to entering the US.

PS - One more thing: Every single person who came through Ellis Island was coming to a country with an enormous demand for unskilled labor. This is no longer true.
Once I learned the half-life of caffeine is 5-9 hours, I started a rule where I only had caffeinated coffee before noon, and decaf after. Night and day difference (heh) in my sleep quality.

Perhaps 12pm didn't work for you because caffeine stuck around longer in your body compared to mine. Did you ever try an earlier cutoff time?
Cross-shard transactions will use some sort of two-phase commit protocol internally. They still work just fine (the extra complexity is transparent to the client), but with somewhat worse performance. Most of the difficulty/expertise involved in using such systems optimally is in designing your schema and access patterns such that you minimize the number of cross-shard transactions.
I moved from Gmail to ProtonMail exactly because they were promising strong encryption, no logging of IPs and no data leaked outside for whatever reason.

I know that every IT company eventually turns into a bunch of creepy and greedy jerks that end up contradicting all of their initial "don't be evil" statements. But please, Proton, don't do this so early in the process. I'm tired of migrating from one jerk company to a we-are-not-jerks-yet company all the time. If it turns out that Proton really leaked the IP and device info of an activist to the authorities I'll just go back to setting up my own mail server like it's 1995 and f*ck all this madness.

I'm familiar with the challenge, you could call it a kind of "imperfection paralysis", the unwillingness to commit to anything before it has been perfected conceptually.

It can be really freeing / productive to "allow" yourself to put down a "crappy" rough draft in code with the mindset that you can rewrite it later when the whole domain is more clear.

> As vaccine rumor hunter Heidi Larson puts it, "we don’t have a misinformation problem, we have a trust problem.”

That about sums it up. The lies are fine, the problem is that nobody believes them. But let's imagine that the media wanted to regain the trust of the public by being more trustworthy.

Here is some advice:

Acknowledge bias. Too many in the media try to portray themselves as truth-tellers, and everyone else has hopelessly biased propagandists. Just own it. Be clear about ideological positions and points of agreement and disagreement with other political actors.

Acknowledge uncertainty. The truth is out there, but we often don't know what it is. Be willing to delay judgement until the facts are in, update conclusions when new evidence surfaces, and treat some "facts" as tentative when they're based on weak or the balance of contradictory evidence.

Criticize allies. If somebody is lying to support a conclusion you agree with, call them out. The ends do not justify the means.

Praise opponents. When "the other side" says something you agree with, say so, without any caveats about the other stuff you still disagree with. When they tell the truth, acknowledge the honesty. If they argue in good faith, engage with the ideas in good faith.

In the end, this stuff is not that hard for people that actually care about the truth. It doesn't seem like the media does anymore. Instead, they're mostly engaged in tribalism: signaling loyalty to the tribe, disseminating dogma and asserting the moral superiority of the tribe. No wonder trust is so low.

Ah... you're very wrong.

Ivermectin is worth exploring. Even if only to properly establish its limits. To assert otherwise is anti-science. I think you've inadvertently shown some kind of bias but I'm not exactly sure why or what. Perhaps politics is clouding your judgement?

Here's what some actual experts think:

"Several studies reported antiviral effects of ivermectin on RNA viruses such as Zika, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile, Hendra, Newcastle, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, chikungunya, Semliki Forest, Sindbis, Avian influenza A, Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome, Human immunodeficiency virus type 1, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2"

Here is the article I believe the parent is referring to

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/05/insider/capitalized-black...

I think it was rather nuanced. Several reasons given:

1) The capitalization of Black has already been accepted by the mainstream - NYT is catching up with the times

2) Other names on American minorities with a shared heritage is already capitalized, like Latino and Asian.

3) African-American is capitalized, but not as inclusive as Black.

At no point, except when referring to some early 20th century worldview, are they talking about all black people worldwide. I read the article as a purely American POV.

Thinking about the names Apple might call this tech is amusing, with their use of ‘me’ ‘I’ ‘Apple’ etc. I assume ‘Jail’ wouldn’t be in the name.
FWIW I've found supplementing Lions Mane interacts very nicely with caffeine.

It takes the edge off the caffeine high, and largely eliminates all the awful withdrawal symptoms when quitting.

For decades I stayed away from the stuff because I'm quite sensitive to it and hate the quick forming dependency. Lions Mane has put it back on the table as a useful productivity boosting tool. I no longer even bat an eye about quitting cold turkey after a solid week of heavy use. If I know the next day will be the cessation day, I'll take an extra Lions Mane before bed and the next day won't even have the slightest headache.

Still waiting for the other shoe to drop on this, because so far there hasn't been any negative side effects. Though it may be worth noting when taking the supplement at night I tend to wake up in a semi lucid dreaming state, which is otherwise uncommon for me.

YMMV

RE: Stock-picking skills, versus trusting the market.

I think it boils down to at least the following factors:

- The belief that you are a smart and capable person, and that this intellect will translate into all other domains, especially those close to what your won domain of expertise is. i.e "I'm good with numbers, and work in tech - thus, I should be good at picking tech companies by looking at their reported numbers"

- DIY mentality, which a lot of hacker-types posses. People in tech absolutely love to roll out their own things.

- Exposure to the various industry sectors. If you work in industry [x], you're probably going to get exposed to most parts of it - including other companies. Maybe that gives you a false sense of confidence in your pickings.

> If the database has a stable interface (for instance, its dialect of SQL+DDL), it can ship a fake implementation of that interface to use in unit tests or toy examples.

Sometimes the interface just has too large of a surface area for it to be simulated properly.

For example, suppose that you have an Oracle stored procedure, which, when given about 20 parameters, goes through a decision tree in a PL/SQL block that spans a few thousands of lines and along the way uses both DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE, as well as DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_SESSION_LONGOPS, any number of methods from DBMS_PREDICTIVE_ANALYTICS as well as any number of other packages that are included in the full release: https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/1... which may also include logic that makes network requests, sends e-mails or even triggers other pieces of code to be executed.

All of that would be almost impossible to fake well enough because of the scope of functionality that's used, especially if methods are not only called, but their output is also checked and the execution depends on this. Should systems be simpler and do less? Probably, but that's not the objective reality in many projects out there.

That said, i agree that it's a good thing to have if you treat your DB as a data store and not much more, which in my opinion is a pretty good and stress free way to go about things overall. But somehow that's also like saying "Just use an ORM to have your system be DB agnostic!" which never actually works out in practice because of implementation details that leak through.
except a great deal of technology was lost.

One of Hobbs insights is that in an era with a non-functional state, the rewards of technological investment are few. Also loss of state capacity has severe impact on international trade; recognize that trade also brings ideas and innovation. And any technology that relies on supply chains becomes challenging, any technology that relies on high levels of education becomes challenging.
code should always be written for other humans. it runs on the machine, but other humans will have to understand it.

dogma, in all circumstances, leads to intellectual laziness at best and malpractice as worst.

trying to express complicated ideas using simple constructs can result in complicated, verbose and very difficult to understand use of simple constructs. this is why we have complicated constructs, to simplify the expression of complicated ideas.

> far less successful than Airbnb

Airbnb probably made a bunch of people very rich, which could probably count as success, however we could also point out that they're a great example of the toxicity of VC funded startups:

1. They business model seem to be disrupting housing markets and regular neighborhoods, more than it's actually disrupting incumbents (Accor & co.).

2. 13 years after their launch, this is their bottom line:

> Net income -$4.584 billion (2020)

Which, yeah, is during the pandemic, but they've never been profitable.

Though I guess these days success is measured by how much money you can get from investors, than building an actually profitable business.
