I was in a situation was similar to yours, suffering many years because of lack of energy.
I even could not walk up stairs, because of exhaustion.
It seems nothing I could do to fix it.

A year ago my friend has suggested to try Magnesium supplement.

I then took 600-800 mg daily for the first week.
That has completely cured my energy levels after only few days.
I felt distinctly the change and I have my life back under my control.

Since then feel like I'm a new person.
I'm very glad to have found the root cause for my specific problem.
Also, excercise the ability to just not say anything.

By all means, don't bury your head in the sand. But some things aren't productive to talk about. Functionally, you get the same results whether or not you slight that other team / manager / process in a conversation.

Everything is always broken. But we get to choose if we only have conversations complaining about broken things.
Maybe some people can but I question their commitment to privacy. Mozilla is heavily conflicted, being almost 100% supported by Google in exchange for sending searches to the Chocoloate Factory by default, yet they refuse to openly acknowledge or address the issue. What really gets me is they constantly use privacy as a selling point. Then they try to convince the public that web advertising is a necessity. Its like robbing Peter to pay Paul. You cant borrow your way out of debt.
Yeah, it doesn't look like Project Valhalla will land before the next LTS. The original separation of primitive types and reference types was necessary when Java was first released, but it's a deal with the devil. It made everything else much harder than it could have been otherwise.

Even then we won't have fully reified generics, but some of the stuff they're doing with type projections is insane. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a game changer.
This is an interesting point and made me wonder what percentage does bitcoin contribute annually according to the numbers in the linked paper.

Bitcoins annual estimated e-waste: 307 000 metric tons
Global annual estimated e-waste: 53 600 000 metric tons

307 000 / 53 600 000 * 100 = 0.57 %

I don't know if the numbers in the linked paper and the following paper can be used together as I haven't read both, but I've taken the global annual e-waste estimate from here as unfortunately the linked paper does not mention it in the abstract: https://www.itu.int/myitu/-/media/Publications/2020-Publicat...

While I do think Bitcoin in its current form is a problem and the developers should start thinking of solutions sooner than later, I think starting with Bitcoin to reduce total e-waste is misguided at best.
or again, as a lottery is generally described as a tax on stupidity, I would wonder why anyone complains about getting money instead of a chance to participate in a lottery.
If you plan on switching to a job with Machine Learning sticking with Python might be worth it.
Otherwise for web developer careers I recommend going with Javascript. It will allow you to be a frontend or backend or fullstack developer.
So much for assembly language being the most compact and efficient form of software... (Yes, of course I know it's assembly for a VM, but still, there's NO excuse for this kind of outrageous bloat!)
What a condescending comment
I find smartphones mostly useful when traveling. I've never used DoorDash and maybe use Uber/Lyft a half dozen times a year and essentially never locally. Being able to receive texts is increasingly difficult to opt out of for various purposes but you don't need a smartphone specifically for that.

NOT OP but there's very little I would not sell or change my mind for $5bn.

That much money just to go back on a promise to not sell would be a very easy decision (bear in mind that no material harm is done to the employees, no equity was promised, no equity was given, they never had a chance to share in the sale regardless of the founders' promise)

Ask HN: What news sources do you use to maintain a broad perspective?
I'm setting up my feed reader and wanted to get some perspectives on good, quality sources for news. In particular, I'm interested in good sources for US news, international news, and left-leaning sources. I lean conservative, so I've already identified several sources that lean in that direction, but I'm happy to hear more.
I'm open to admit there might be some animal species one could reasonably argue we should start seeing as people. Dolphins and some cephalopods come to mind, perhaps even some corvidae (and I'm getting increasingly uneasy about cows and pigs).

But these are still coupled questions. On the one edge of the spectrum you have archaea, bacteria and viruses - glorified chemical reactions. On the other edge you have us. I don't know of a moral framework that would both attribute great importance to lives of most of the thing on the life spectrum, and not lead to horrible conclusions like sacrificing a human child to save a field of grass. The way we normally reason about, we try to figure out which entities are capable of enough self-awareness and experience processing that we can talk about them feeling pain, suffering, or - for this discussion - finding meaning.

The point I'm trying to make: if we believe that between bacteria and us, there's a point (or a continuity) on the spectrum, separating mere chemical automatons from entities capable of thinking about meaning, then if the latter are gone, there's no point, no meaning, to anything in the universe.

As an analogy: if you imagine a server running a persistent Minecraft world, then if all the players leave, and the server gets forever cut off from the Internet, it doesn't matter whether the server keeps running the simulation or not. Nobody will ever see that game world again.

Yes but idiomatic java doesn't require you to use those thing.
The transparent backpack packs are, like the metal detectors, not limited to inner cities. They show up in every district where they're afraid of mass shootings, where they also hold mass shooting drills and other precautions.

These precautions are probably not statistically necessary, since the school shootings are rare, and exaggerated by their awfulness. But the fact is that they do happen, and the response from gun manufacturers of "Oh, your kid probably won't be shot so let's do nothing at all" is equally irrational. And then you get the even more psychotic ones claiming that every instance is in fact fake.

That's my point: the guns create a persistent, low-level paranoia, because of the very low risk of a very bad thing. It is not just in the inner cities. The school shootings, when they do take place, are most often in suburbs, and no suburb is sure they won't be next. So children are confronted every day with preparing for it.
Yes, the original Java edition is still in Java. There's now a C++ edition called bedrock as well.

When installing WSL you can still choose if you want to use WLS 1 or WSL 2, and you can switch between them. If you keep your files not in the WSL filesystem, WSL 1 is still the recommended choice because of the lower overhead for file access.

Plus WLS 1 is marginally easier to install because you don't have to enable Hyper-V

I deliberately disable push notifications in all messengers to avoids distractions, even though I'm actively using the messengers _when_ I want to sync with people.
It depends - there are gun safes that open instantly by scanning your finger prints. I think I read somewhere that ideally, in the case of a robbery, you should be able to reach a loaded gun in 30seconds. That seems a tad excessive to me, but overall I agree. It is hard to balance safety and practicality.
It's so telling that most of the comments here are either: cautionary tales or negative effects. I sure feel young and naive in this audience.
Are there examples of this phenomenon? If so, please share.

"Civilization is always older than we think; and under whatever sod we tread are the bones of men and women who also worked and loved, wrote songs and made beautiful things, but whose names and very being have been lost in the careless flow of time."

While I have only read his "The Greatest Minds and Ideas of All Time", his wife Ariel Durant and him co-wrote an 11 volume "biography" of civilization called "The Story of Civilization", which I believe deals with such things.

Here in Uruguay we had the original Spectrums, but Microdigital's clones were more affordable. The TK-90 was my first computer, upgraded a few years later to a TK-95.

I'd be interested in a high-clockspeed desktop chip based on ARM's X2 design.

X2 should be nearly as fast as Zen per clock. It could be a great dev platform if they could ramp the clocks up.
For dedicated ASICs: It's still working, but the hardware can only perform the SHA-256 hash algorithm crazy fast, that's it.

> it would be better to use a new POW algorithm, which does not benefit from single purpose ASICs.

It's hard for me to imagine what that would be but that could be a lack of imagination on my part. Maybe other non-payment blockchain applications?

The other day some friends and I were musing how cool it would be if we could map some simulation algorithms to SHA-256 primitives. I thought there could be chance because I didn't actually know the mathematical operation SHA was doing. Once I found out, it didn't work out at all. Not even close. Maybe others will be more fortunate.

And for the one-off needs more mainstream CPUs already have support for some acceleration of SHA-256 [1] and that seems to be enough for them.

I agree with the last part. There is a huge amount of moral licensing as well (I recycled this cardboard box, so flying to Aruba is ok).

But I think both collectively and individually we are unwilling to make the required sacrifices. You're right, the actions of one person don't make a significant change, but they do make some change. If everyone who said they were deeply concerned about the environment started to make the changes that are required, we'd start to make a dent. And perhaps have a larger effect than themselves.

But they won't. We're all mostly just hoping that massive change doesn't happen until after we die.
That’s just not true on any reasonable timescale. Healthy forests absolutely build up organic matter in soil on various timescales, and while the carbon has various residency periods it’s a net sink. Things like forest fires can create charcoals as well, which last a very long time in soil.
It sounds to me like the scope of criticism was right in between the two things you're suggesting: "disposable tech that sells in the millions and only has a lifespan of 2 years tops like AirPods."

In this case, I would take take the word "like" to mean "such as". Your first potential interpretation instead implies that you interpreted it to mean "specifically". And the second ignores all the qualifying adjectives.

For my part, I'm becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the dominance of products with built-in, non-replaceable rechargeable batteries in products that don't permit or are fundamentally incompatible with corded use. Because if a fundamental component that it needs in order to function happens to also be a non-replaceable wear item, then yeah, it is a disposable product. As a point of basic morality, we should not be blithely making disposable products that cannot be safely disposed of. It doesn't matter how convenient it is to us, our kids and our grandkids and our peers in less wealthy countries and their kids and grandkids are the ones who will be stuck dealing with the polluted waterways, and we have no right to force that upon them just because we think cords are annoying.

It's really not so different from the leaded gasoline that my grandparents thought was so convenient.

There are a lot of people who got screwed over by the the 80s reformation of the economy away from government intervention and the strange part is that these people believe that this move is actually a form of government intervention and it was the government that is making their lives worse. So getting to an even "free-er market" will solve the problem so they keep voting that way.

The free market is an empty ideology because there is no such thing in the real world. When the law and order of governments no longer applies, then we don't fall back to a fair and just utopian world free of governments, we fall back to the law of the jungle. [0] The law of the jungle involves a lot of pain and from the perspective of those living lives sheltered from pain through law and order of governments, the primary source of pain is the government. After all, governments have vast police and military forces.

They have the monopoly of violence. Therefore people perceive governments = violence and no governments = no violence. If the amount of violence increases by decreasing the importance of the government then people will insist that it's the government that inflicted the violence and will want to keep decreasing the importance of the government. What they don't realize is that they will experience an even harsher reality.

Take it easy, being Swiss i know that our "normal" beer tastes like cow piss, and we have a "humor"-taste of a cold stone, and i like english and french cheese much more.

I like stereotypes, it's a good way not to take everything serious or even "very provocative", we should be proud of them, and have a good lough about them.

"Reasonable limits on firearms and access to firearms is not going to take away your right to self defense."

It depends on what one sees as reasonable. One might reasonably believe that the requirements for private sale background checks might not make an impact because there's no monitoring or effective enforcement mechanisms in the suggested system.

When we use qualifiers like reasonable or common sense, it's an attack on the other side and creates a divide between the debating parties. People should be debating the the proposed solutions and the objections to them.
Obviously you're a software company, you just happen to have to sell the platform for the software to run on as well.

possibily one of the worst arguments in favor of something I've ever heard. "human-scaled" just because you grew up in a culture that uses them. In my mind, a foot doesn't mean anything since my foot, my wife's and my daughter's are quite different in lenght, while 30cm is 30cm for everyone - and once you start using meters as unity of measure you can easily envision it in your mind. So, please stop saying "it's clearer", it's NOT.

You're pretending to use logic, but actually just sealioning the parent. Most of your stats and premises are irrelevant.

Given the unknowns involved, enforcing forever lockdowns is not a valid plan under any scenario. In the US, the initial 2020 lockdown was supposed to "flatten the curve" for 2 weeks, but there's been restrictions for 18 months and counting.

Ebola has around a 50% mortality, and corona about 0.1%. I can see the difference, but can you, sealion?

BTW: sealioning is rude, so knock it off.

As I understand, PWAs are easy to block - you just need to block access to a web server. And native apps have more possibilities to evade blocking: they can use non-standard protocols, P2P protocols, receive data via pushes. So to block a native app one would have to block access to App Store.
