All of your replies sound like the same desperate defenses I see crappy managers make over and over. Just blame the employees.

Contrary to what plenty of people seem to think, companies are not always (or even often) efficient and managers do not always (or even often) operate with logic. Just because a company doesn't fight to keep an employee doesn't mean the employee is dogshit. Last team I left had over 50% turnover before I put in my resignation. No one gave me an exit interview or asked why I was leaving. I had no demands because nothing could have made me stay, but they didn't know that. It should be common sense at that point to ask questions. If your team has people leaving in droves, there's a problem. It's not just coincidence. And while companies not making more of an effort to retain employees over hiring new ones may be anecdotal, as the OP explained, I've yet to see anyone offer much in the way of evidence to the contrary.

Agree. I lived in Japan which doesn't change clocks. In the summer the sun rises at 4:30am but it's only light out until maybe just before 8pm.
I can't agree with this. If you deviate from the ASIO examples even a little bit it blows up in your face spectacularly, and I sunk a lot of time into reading the implementation to see how it works.

They should have stayed away from ASIO. It looked like they were going to, for a while, and it looked like it was going to be better than boost's implementation. But here I find out that was never the case and the portions that needed filled in required compiler support.
The last time I used Windows was last night. Unlike Mac where I hold back on updates until they force my hand, I update my Win 10 as soon as it hits the public channel. I can assure you, the problem is far from solved. Whereas on MacOS, not a single app misbehaves.

Most apps are 3rd party apps!

I started weight lifting because it drastically improves my sleep. Now I feel like absolute crap if I skip even a single day of lifting. It’s pretty remarkable - clearly the body expects and maybe needs some kind of physical stresses that are missing from my day-to-day routine outside of lifting.

There are essentially no downsides except a time expenditure and increased risk of lifting related injuries - vastly outweighed by the benefits (health, strength, aesthetics). The tricky part is just doing it regularly enough at first that your body and mind figure out that these stresses are so good for you, and then (at least for me) it’s pretty self-sustaining.
Mine is still cranking, though it's recently relegated to couch duty as I use the 2019 iMac for WFH heavy lifting these days. I put a $29 upgraded WiFi module in it so that my watch will unlock it (and enables a bunch of other Bonjour functionality), but it otherwise just keeps humming along. I'm wondering if it isn't the computer I've kept and regularly used more than any other in the forty years since my first one.
Why do you expect the police to investigate this?

If A says that B is trespassing on their property, and A not B is listed as the legal owner of the property according to the single source of truth, isn't it normal that the police should evict B and defend A's property rights?

Imagine if the police took the attitude "we have to give equal weight to B's hard luck story about how he's the technical owner". Harassment and vexatious claims of fraud would be absolutely rampant.

Anyone know what resources developers actually used for programming consoles back in the days of the NES/SNES (and even the PSX)?
Nowadays we have a lot of resources and open source games, but it's still pretty hard to make good homebrew. Was it just a matter of the mindset of the time that most programmers don't have anymore?
Too many people complain about things like this without seeing it from the other side. Like yeah you got screwed, but companies can't accommodate every issue that people claim they have. They'd go out of business. Even someone as big as Amazon couldn't sustain it. Word would spread about how easy it is to scam them and the number of people trying to do that would quickly ramp up. There's enough people in the world who aren't honest or who generally are but think "surely [large co] has enough money".
No Experience Necessary (2003)
I heard an interesting interview this weekend with a clinical psychologist and ultra runner who gets into some of the physiological effects of running:

Thompson says that running has worked as a powerful medicine for the mind, and that, much like the analyst’s couch, the running trail has become his therapeutic space, allowing his traumatic memories to be processed in a safer way. Ultra runners, he explains, experience physiological changes in the brain, entering trance-like states that alter perception and enhance free movement of thoughts and memories.

Not a runner myself but found it pretty interesting. Goes a bit beyond the usual "runner's high" stuff. I imagine there are comparable effects across physical activities.

I love it - unpopular opinion. I love the extra sunlight in the summer and that the Sun doesn't come up at 4AM and I love that in the winter it isn't dark until 8AM so I can actually be outside doing things (dog walking, kids to school, etc).

I hope we don't change it as it's actually a great system and I think people would hate if we just stayed on a single time. Of course, people that live on certain latitudes probably care less about these optimizations and see it more as an annoyance.

> If actually argue they are brilliant by Tim Cook - if all that cash was still on the balance sheet they would end up using it on bad M&A etc.

Dividends vs. Buybacks are two totally different types of financial engineering.

The first accretes in a well-understood, and manageable way, while the second nebulously meddles in a multi-factor way, one by creating a float constraint (these shares are usually treasuried on the company balance sheet), and two a demand inflator through the company coffers entering the market chatter. Both dividends and buybacks are monsters that require regular feeding to keep tame; however, the buyback monster is arguably way more frightening if it becomes angry in the current hedge (option) everything world, compounded by reducing float.

That's just the first decision. The second decision to fund (and accelerate) the buyback process through debt is again financially brilliant, but at the levels Apple used to finance the buybacks (and has continued the process) - is confusing to a long term strategy.

What's the plan? How does hitting the debt-buyback wheel affect one's demeanor? Just keep securizsiting on the cash cows? When picking New Product A with 2 year useful life, one time revenue injection vs. a monthly fee service that is probably already tackled by our users (developers) quite well, which do we bias towards? What about finally loving up on PWAs?

What happens when people look at our 2.5trn market cap, fueled in a large way by these buybacks, and think why not spread that wealth around? It invites every armchair quarterback (hello, mirror) to tell you how to run the company's very visible success... it's operationally brilliant, but not all that aware of the next generation of customers and leaders.

If this sounds interesting, I'll fully flesh out a longer form explanation at some point. Tying this back to the point, the anti-trust cases are the most important decision we will make as a species for the next 100 years. To my novice mind, these are simply avoided (and corrected) by understanding the current motivations of Apple and what should really change... i.e. 'why do we really need to do these buybacks? Is this really the best stewardship to our long term business success (helping people make the best stuff, period.)?' The upcoming regulatory challenges will directly tell the solution makers, most of us on HN, how and where to participate, and if we must reinvent the wheel because the first one lost its way a bit and became too golden, that's a sad loss.

"Survivorship bias" is a favourite go-to for contrarians, but it's not a strong effect and when you see something surprising way out at the tail end of a distribution, attributing it to survivorship bias is a lost opportunity to learn something important. When something survives 2x longer than expected, it might be survivorship bias. When it survives 10x, 100x, or 1000x longer than expected, you should probably look closer and see what material or operational differences might be responsible, because there's going to be something worth learning.

Even if what you learn is just that any incandescent lightbulb can have a greatly extended life if you run it at below-spec brightness.

Lidar Reveals Nearly 500 Ancient Ceremonial Sites in Mexico
I'd love to buy a squat rack and other lifting tools to keep at home. I don't live close to a gym but have enough space to lift what I'd like to in my garage. Though, I am worried about the potential for injury or getting myself in a lifting situation that I can't get out of where if I was at a gym someone would run over to help.

Is that a reasonable concern? Or am I overthinking it?

Ok, you are suggesting what I said was false, so I am researching sources:

== UK

Search for “New NPCC consent form”. Since 2020, seizing texts can only happen with the complainant’s consent, and the form highlights that there should be no repercussion if consent is not given. Therefore, it doesn’t alleviate the main criticism of false accusations: The ability for the accused to prove his innocence.

Link to the consent guidance: https://cdn.prgloo.com/media/download/a9b9b561b88b45c78772fb...

== Other countries

I didn’t immediately find proof (searched Australia, US and Canada) but the general narrative that having her phone searched is a trauma for the victim, and therefore her phone should only be searched with her consent.
If there's an example of a thing that you shouldn't try to do yourself other than crypto, it's timezones. The timezone database is there, and it is updated regularly by very dedicated and intelligent people. There's no excuse for not using it.
They do say in the post that they're going to explain more, later.
It's entirely subjective. I'm neutral about running outside, but I enjoy running on a treadmill because I can get into a kind of zen mode or watch something. Similarly, I love weight lifting because the experience of hard muscular exertion is intensely satisfying for me, and the overall lifting session gets me in a similarly zen mode.

> When you run, you get outside, you go somewhere, you see and feel different things.

I disagree. When I run outside, I see the same thing every time. Maybe if I lived in a wide open meadow or forest where I could take infinite paths it would be different, but in a suburb/city, it's just buildings and streets. Not that interesting to me.

> There's a race ecosystem that encourages you to get in when you can barely run a mile without stopping and allows you to push yourself as much as you want

I hate group sports. I don't want to see other people at all when I'm exercising, so this 'race ecosystem' has no value to me.

> if you pick the right spots it's safer.

I don't really understand your point here. Are you saying running is inherently safer than weight lifting? I would need to see some evidence. Safer than strongman or powerlifting, maybe. Safer than light-moderate lifting with proper form? I'd be skeptical of that claim.

> But the gym is the same sights, smells, and sounds over and over again

Again, I feel the same way about running outdoors. For me the differences from you seem to be (1) I don't need novelty, I exercise for the health and physical sensation of exercising itself. If I want novelty or new sights I'll watch a movie or take a trip somewhere. (2) I love the sensation of lifting itself, just like I also enjoy the sensation of running or biking.

Maybe find a way to focus on the exercise, not the environment. Or just watch videos or listen to music. There's no way around it, weight lifting is inherently repetitive

I’ve always found lifting to be unbelievably boring. Contrasted with an obsession with cycling which has been maintained daily for many years.

I can’t seem to find any mentality which makes lifting enjoyable at all for me. Yet somehow sitting on a bike for hours at a time, even indoors, is great fun.
I don't understand why people need sunlight for after-work activities though? Unless your hobby is calibrating sun-dials what are you doing?

> These things force the application to run in restricted environments where capabilities are reduced, system calls are filtered, apparmor profiles and selinux labels are applied, among other things

This characterisation is too charitable, without qualifications. It depends a lot on the container runtime and configuration. Out of the box with Docker you don't get AppArmor or SELinux, and apps run as root where they normally wouldn't (because uid remapping, aka user namespaces is disabled by default, and people rarely bother to set up non-root users in containers).

As a bonus, applying security updates is left as an exercise to you, meaning it often doesn't happen.

Also, complexity is the enemy of secutity. Containers are yet another added layer that you have to juggle in your head when trying to make sense of the whole system you're building and operating. If used wisely and with good understanding, monitoring and processes, they can be a net positive despite this, but not necessarily so.
Or they think the outcome of the poll is irrelevant. Not answering a poll is not equivalent to not caring about what a poll is about.

I care quite a bit about certain policy decisions, but I don't answer any political polls since I think all of them are bunk or intentionally picking stats with poorly written questions.
I charge mine for ~45 minutes or so between 9-10pm and it's been great.

Ahem...you're missing a $ :)
It’s an expensive solution (heck I can’t even afford it at the moment) but my solution for this was a personal trainer. If I have an appointment with a human being who’s expecting me and will be cross if I don’t show, I’m going to go. After I let the trainer go, I had a SO who would have raised an eyebrow had I quit lifting, so that kept me going until we broke up. In other words, if you can, enlist someone to whom you can be accountable.
Wow, perfectly stated. Thank you.
It's a reasonable concern, but if you buy squat rack spotter arms and use them correctly, you can avoid these dangerous situations.
