While I agree with the message I don't think this will sell well. Many people do not even have the faintest idea of what depression is like and understand it as an illness. So they see it as a personal choice and therefore not a thing for the government to solve. Similar to drugs. This is of course despite the connections to environmental causes and government regulations. You greatly decrease rates of depression and drug usage, which are highly correlated, by the same thing. Making life better and less stressful. That even helps non-depressed and non-drug users.

Despite that, I think we should just talk about other types of gun violence. The vast majority of which involve hand guns. Which if you understand this, makes the national conversation seem extremely odd.

I'd encourage everyone to watch Sapolsky's lecture on Depression[0].

"Because there's one feature we really care about".

That's why we migrated to GitLab CI. We made some pretty complicated pipelines, with tens of stages, many of them dynamic, and it worked with minimal hassle. It was a great success story internally.
Dude, you're not supposed to admit you like XML!
I see the answer to this question more around backups and helping future people overcome technical limitations (knowledge transfer + data archiving).

All things are ephemeral after a certain point but archiving typically lasts much much longer than the human operators. Likewise documenting the process and barriers to overcome will help people in the future solve the problem (and a broader amount of people).

This doesn't have to be public, just needs a way to become public.
> I can get at best around 6 hours of sleep and has become my norm as my neighbors can get loud early morning.

Have you tried earplugs? They changed my life on days where people decide to be noisy, which is every other day here. I don't here the car honks, loud neighbors, and thunder anymore.

The best part is I still get woken up by my phone's alarm at full volume, even with earplugs on.
Honestly, if any politician managed to get rid of TSA checkpoints in airports I would vote for him every day of the rest of my life. They are just so pointless and intrusive.
Burnt out and going to quit soon. Taking a year+ off to try and remember what I used to enjoy.
Probably. I don't think all progressive liberals downvote things like this.
It might, they were quite senior position, so the thing left me a little wondering.
No, there isn't. Think about what you're saying. Why would anyone want to promote a particular surgery?

The movement is for individual freedom and for the government to stay out of people's medical decisions.

Will it increase the number of those surgeries for adults if the government stops discouraging them? Maybe, maybe not. The point is that there is no "public interest" in what genitalia someone needs to have according to (again) their doctors.
Having your odometer connected costs ~$1k/y in depreciation, and people don't generally disconnect it. Do you think they'll start for the opportunity to save an additional $100/y?
The entire premise of “misinformation” is that a true media exists which gives accurate information, as opposed to the army of people out to nefariously influence the public. I’m simply suggesting that there is fundamentally no difference.

Hey HN, I recently came across a very useful tutorial about jq (https://earthly.dev/blog/jq-select/) and created an interactive tutorial based on it. It features a command-line sandbox where you can safely explore and run arbitrary jq commands (it runs jq in your browser using WebAssembly).

Check it out if you want to learn how to filter, process, and wrangle JSON data. And if you happen to be getting started in bioinformatics, check out the rest of the tutorials on sandbox.bio :)
On what basis could the police arrest you, let alone jail you, for not telling them what your Twitter account is?

> In a modern home, there should be supply and return vents in every room.

That must vary by region. I live in the PNW, and I have not seen a recently built house with a return in each room. One or more supply vents per room depending on size, one return for each floor seems pretty much standard.
>and request to speak to my attorney

Do people actually have an defense attorney on retainer? Even if they do, it seems like a pretty effective resource exhaustion attack. The cop gets paid for his time, whereas you have to pay $300/hr to have your lawyer around.
You just pay a cook to do it for you.

If you're making mid six figures it's ultimately much cheaper than a spouse.
My experience with GHA is that it can be awesome for things like small projects that want to enforce linters, unit tests, etc.

Once you get into more complex things - like building docker images, storing into an artifact repository, baking amis, running integration or end to end tests, etc, it can be a pain.

It was a great place for us to start but we've since moved to BuildKite.
Then this obviously doesn’t apply?
Great now I can get arrested for obstruction of justice for not having a Facebook account.
There's nothing "liberal" or "progressive" about that kind of activity, though.

I solved this problem by deciding early on that the only way for me to get creative stuff done, and to enjoy myself while getting creative stuff done, was to treat my creative endeavours as hobbies rather than income streams. Turns out you don't need to be a full time Poet, toiling away at the academic coalface 24/7/365, to have fun writing and sharing poems.

Account security best practices are orthogonal to how your assets are handled behind the scenes. The SEC isn't regulating securities because someone might log into your account, they regulate them because someone at Coinbase could be deceiving investors or hiding risk.

Money doesn't appear magically from nowhere. If someone is offering you return for holding your cash, it's not just sitting there. The risk is implicit in whatever they're doing to turn your N money into NM money: there is no way to absolutely guarantee that M is >0.

Another option for those with FAANG (or other) money: Personally fund other people who are already doing research or "deep" work. Perhaps first people you already know, and then strangers on the internet who are asking for funding. These other people doing research or deep work are likely to have the qualities and knowledge to effectively direct the usage of funds in a manner that progresses their work; also see the comment by 'joe_the_user.

(There is currently no shortcut for determining who to fund, as it ultimately comes down to a synthesis of intuition/taste and empiricism. Current funding systems are overly biased toward a form of empiricism, i.e. an implicit assumption that past results signal and legitimate the potential for continued future performance. Deciding on the basis of one's own intuition and taste is one approach to correct for overreliance on externalized empiricism.)
People shouldn't have to avoid activities because governments are abusing their authority.
Pedalboard is a wrapper around the JUCE framework (https://juce.com), which is dual-licensed under the GPLv3 or a custom paid commercial license. We chose to license it with the GPLv3 rather than coming up with a dual-license solution ourselves, given that this is an audio processing tool in Python and will usually be used in scripts, backends, and other scenarios where users of Pedalboard are not likely to distribute their code in the first place.
There is a saying "You can beat the rap, but not the ride." They can make things very unpleasant.

Indeed. Especially as the BBC is kneecapped in what they can have on the iPlayer at any one time. If they could put up their entire back catalogue it would be great.

They should also sell subscriptions to those outside the UK as well, there is enough demand for sure.
I'm not in fact British. But you're right, every country has its own sins, UK, and Poland, my homeland, do too, there's no pretending it is different. Also I'm not saying US is worse: maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but it is orthogonal to my point.

That's kind of part of my point by the way. They all have slightly different sins that need their own debate and atonement, certainly not copying US Woke.
They would count HN if they wanted to get you for obstruction or lying to a police officer. I think that's the material point.

Just better to not say anything and let them discover that your social media is HN on their own. That's the only course of action guaranteed to generate no more trouble than you may already be in. Even keeping quiet may not help if the police want to use that against you. Or they could out and out lie. No guarantees really I guess. Just try to be in a place with officers possessing some degree of professionalism I suppose. Then keeping quiet helps.
Yeah, I fixed that typo. And yes, foo is arbitrary, so one can assume it has another * / & parameter such that the lifetimes can't be elided any more.
I assume you didn’t mean this irrelevant ironically, but it reads as irony.

For what it’s worth if your leftists will only talk to people who already accept their worldview and assume everyone else is like Ben Shapiro, it validates the point that they are not available for the kinds of discussion we are talking about.
I don't think this is the correct model nor should we try to generalize it.
Deliberate practice works by systematically forcing us to continually engage in the part of the activity that we suck the most at. That is the place where we can most readily improve and addressing it is consequently the best usage of our time (disregarding some side effects and constraints). This sort of engagement requires a brutal degree of discipline and integrity to accurately assess performance. Most people are unwilling or incapable which is why teachers are valuable.

I did martial arts for years, but never quite deliberately. Its easiest for me to talk about music where I put in 3-5 hours a day for years - its so fucking hard to hear what you are playing instead of what you intend to be playing or what other performers have played. Music lives in your head more than the real world. After a few years, undirected practice was stealing my time, holding me back.

> Just go get reps doing something you love, in an experimental and playful manner.

This may have addressed some problems you faced (maybe the practical application of otherwise the Platonic ideal technique), but that is a specific problem. I'd wager the more common problem is one of mindlessly playing with no regard for performance because that's the easy trap. At the end of the day, training BJJ to improve is an entirely different endeavor than going to class 2-3 times a week (though both are perfectly reasonable activities of course).

Beko, Indesit, Hotpoint, even Whirlpoop. Samsung and LG are surprisingly good until the electronics fail (very hard to find, expensive new). Miele are great but again, problems with part availability. Though they rarely break.

Bosch/Siemens dishwashers are frankly, garbage.

Dumbass metal/plastic construction (the plastic will crack and leak at the back), smartass inlet sensor that will fail, board at the bottom that will be taken out when it floods, overly sensitive drain and turbidity sensors, and the damn heater is a piece of shit.

They thought they were so smart using a flat wire heater (as found in many bottom heating kettles) but it fails very, very often and is expensive as hell even second hand if you can find one.

This basic construction hasn't changed for over a decade now, just like with most appliances.

Strange, since their washing machines are great and dryers are OK.

I personally like Beko, which many shit on - no frills, no bullshit dishwashers using easily available parts (shared with other brands), really easy to fix.

They work as well as any other brand, the water pressure is one of the most important things and theirs is always good.

Preferably the higher end models with built in fans, screen, they're better built than the cheap models.

If it's not a good currency, then it's not much of an asset either.
I totally 100% agree. "Getting started" with a C/C++ project is a huge pain and IMO where most people get stuck and give up on their weekend project.

I'm working on a game engine in Zig[0], and I've been able to package up GLFW, write a build.zig file that `git clone`s all of the third-party system dependencies so that anyone can just:

const glfw = @import("glfw/build.zig");
...
lib.addPackagePath("glfw", "glfw/src/main.zig");
glfw.link(b, lib, .{});

And have GLFW building (and cross-compiling!) for their project, without installing anything other than Zig and Git. No XCode. No `apt-get install ...`. Nothing. Just `zig` and `git` binaries. Zig is the C compiler and builds the GLFW source, and I have repositories with the required prebuilt system libs for cross compilation.

No. The words to use here are "an attorney", not "my attorney", and it matters mostly after you're arrested, not when you're on the street (on the street, you just say "I'd rather not answer that, sorry").
Countdown Inspiration4 Mission: docuseries on first SpaceX civilian spaceflight
I had a domain registered with Network Solutions for over 20 years in part out of inercia and in part because their transfer process is so scary. I actually started the process twice over the last 10 years and they offered me a half price for a year ($15 which is still expensive) so I let it stay put both times.

This year I finally decided to move out and it was a full week with the exact issues described in this post and it was a scary week! Network Solutions, never again.
"Civilian" is a funny way of spelling citizen.
You can see it in what the NY Times publishes in its editorial section. A couple years ago a review with this viewpoint would not have been published: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/07/books/review/trans-helen-...
Men today not should be denied support that other groups have today because men in the 1950s had support that other groups in the 1950s did not have.

The original article explicitly addresses this.
I noticed the same thing. I kept waiting for the writer to say the obvious and responsible thing, "While the police may ask for this information, there is no legal way for them to compel you to provide it." This is part of the problem with living in a quasi-police state: questioning whether the police are allowed to do a thing is literally unthinkable.

Oh jesus christ. I feel for you dude.

We evaluated GHA, and we still are trying to use it, but there is a barrage of problems and limitations, including cost, lack of functionality, and technical issues. It's really only suitable (at scale) for linting, or generating Changelogs, or something else trivial. I use it in my OSS projects to run tests, and it's okay for that (though impossible to just tail a build log when it's large)

Drone.io is still an amazingly effective system that matches GHA (and has _crazy_ features like build parameters) but is more flexible. Of course you'll have to pay for commercial licenses, but if it's between paying for GHA or Drone, I highly recommend Drone instead. Drone is stupidly easy to maintain (infrastructure-wise).
I can’t take an article about the BBC seriously that only talks about TV
The simplicity of the language is directly correlated to the simplicity of that line. The fact that the language makes relationships between inputs and outputs explicit is a feature of the language, because of its borrow checker, at the expense of being syntactically verbose compared to C.

"Bollocks" is a little less severe than "bullshit" in British English, but that word is still considered swearing by some. I agree that bullshit is the perfect word to describe the subject, it's a vulgar word because it causes a vulgar reaction when you experience it. Using a non-profane word would just dilute it.
Police officers are civilians. I know it's a pedantic point but I think it's important to reiterate this whenever I see non-police officers described as civilians. American society at least has started to elevate them to a special super-citizenship, it seems.

Zenity is very limited in what it can do though. You slam into the limits with some pretty simple requirements. Plus it spits out an annoying warning about parentless modal dialogs every time you use it.

That said I've used it quite a lot because it is installed by default. If you can't guarantee that anything has been installed on the system or that you have an Internet connection it is incredibly helpful to have a simple GUI system available to shell scripts by default.

Wikipedia
Failure to comply with commands given by an officer. Suspicious activity. Belligerent conduct. Whether these are actual charges or not don't even matter, as officers aren't legally required (by supreme court decision) to understand the law they enforce. If they want to arrest you they can.

So to restate your question: On what basis do the police think they can arrest you?
but... you can post on HN pretty anonymously if you wanted, so that is a bit different

The main problem with the BBC is that too much of its nice content isn't available out of the UK. I see no reason why it couldn't be watched all around the world.
It reminds me of 90s internet: First, there was the web. Then we got images slowly downloading at 56kbps. Then we got MODs and Midi , and suddenly we had MP3s clogging the existing 56kbps infrastructure. Until we started getting ISDN and broadband: 128k , 256k ! And we got RealVideo ... which kept 'buffering' and clogging the infrastructure. Later we got mp4, bittorrent and whatnot. This absolutely clogged our low speed broadband. Nowadays we've got CDNs, gigabyte size game updates, ultra hi def netflix a d 500 Mbps connections.

I'm so excited to see that we are in the VERY early stages of blockchain value networks, and I hope I live the next 20 years to see this technology when it gets to the "500mbps" equivalent of what we've got now for 'the internet'

If they aren't serious about EVs, why would they do this? I honestly don't understand Toyota and Honda here. Something is causing them to fight EVs and push for Hydrogen. Patents? Geopolitics? Existing supply chain and manufacturing processes?
