> a meager expert witness payment

To be fair expert witnesses get a few hundred an hour in compensation for preparing plus actually testifying. That being said in the grand scheme of things it's hardly a fortune, but compared to an average professor salary it's probably a decent bonus.
https://vdo.ninja may provide better quality in terms of audio/video and lower latency than Skype.

It's a different approach, and has more buttons/knobs, but provides a high quality and free solution supporting rooms and multiple participants. Can be incorporated into OBS as well for recording, streaming etc.

I've found it to be a useful tool for connecting with musicians remotely.
I'm not sure if that distinction makes much of a difference since the vast majority of debit card theft is not via the physical card, but through skimming.

Debit cards do have the disadvantage of your money being gone until the bank makes you whole. But I'm not sure if the liability is really any different (unless physically stolen and not reported, I guess).
Maybe that bank is more generous. The one I worked at begrudgingly counted out the pennies like it was coming out of the war orphans fund or something.
Ignoring for a moment the statistical hand-waving and terrifying 1-in-10 probability of being labeled suicidal—and the corresponding restrictions of freedoms—I was a bit taken aback by the high predictive power of yelling and arguments at home.

My parents never—literally never—raised their voices or argued with one another. I knew other families were different from television and books, and when I married into a family that yells liberally I took it in stride as just another mode of communication. Now that I have a kid, I'm wondering—for those of you with a spouse with a temper—what are some strategies for de-escalating arguments and yelling?
It isn't the case!??

Holy shit! There's a pandemic!

Get the kids and run and hide!

Holy fucking shit!!!

PANDEEEEMMMIIICCC!!!! It's coming right for us!!!
"Browser makers" - you mean Microsoft in IE10? Were there any other browsers that did this? And what did privacy evangelists have to do with it?

I'm not sure that was the sole downfall; DNT also had no teeth because it couldn't really be enforced.
Same! I opened an issue on mypy only to receive a patient explanation why it's happening and to close it as a duplicate. Had quite a shock to see "Guido van Rossum" in my inbox it took me quite a while to realize that it's Github who mailed me; I didn't really receive it directly from the BDFL.

Still pretty cool so, like any normal person would do, I decided to tweet about it. I opened Twitter and the first tweet on my feed was also from GvR. It simply read, "What a waste of time".

This happened around the time of the first debate for last year's US Presidential Elections. Make what you will of the fact. :)
Hey everyone - Clerk cofounder here. We're frequent readers of HN ourselves and have enjoyed the spirited debate about stateless-vs-stateful auth over the years.

The consensus we reached is that stateless auth is good, but the amount of development required for _secure_ stateless auth is prohibitive.

We built our session management service to make stateless and revocable auth incredibly easy to implement. The tokens are short-lived and we handle all the refresh automatically with our SDKs. A real-time demo of that is available here: https://edge.clerk.app

If your company could benefit from shaving some milliseconds off your authentication check, or if you'd like to add device management and revocation to your application - we'd love to chat!

Today our session management product is still coupled with our user management product, but that will change soon!
Oringally, D&D didn't even have a system for melee. Readers were referred to the rules of Chainmail. And for adventuring, to Avalon Hill's Outdoor Survival.

Play was all DIY and the saddle bound Guides were ambiguous suggestions and a gateway into the world of more-than-six-sided dice.

Advanced D&D was a different game sold at the Dalton's in your local mall. Each of the ever expanding line of hardcover rule books - that game had rules not guides - cost about double the ten bucks of the old three guide boxed set (Chanmail was another ten bucks).

My understanding from the article is that the book covers that transition or succession or whatever from guidelines to rules. From a stapled 'zine to manufactured product lines.

Is that the death of art? As such reports tend to be greatly exaggerated, probably not. But there was a change. The game got canon.

It's not clear to me that you really understand the hiring process at all, which might explain your strange negativity.

How is a recruiter getting you more money (and increasing their commission) or landing you a job quicker bad? As a candidate you arent't paying them a dime and you are free to walk away at moment's notice.

All those have ways of being turned off. However, removing Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram and the like from your life will lower stress far more than you think. The always on mentality really needs to go.
My experience of CSS is that it's incredibly complicated and often arcane for something that just supposed to be declarative styling. I'm definitely getting old.
This stuff is all "personal responsibility", and the fossil fuel industry invests a lot in making us think that recycling, etc will save us. It's really about making sure the fossil fuel industry can continue to pollute without having to pay the social costs.

The bottling industry similarly ran campaigns in the 70s to convince people that litter pollution was a personal responsibility problem, so that it wouldn't have to pay to clean up its mess.

Similarly, rather than making safer cigarettes, the cigarette industry ran commercials and hired "experts" to testify that the cause of household fires was flammable furniture (not cigarettes). As a consequence, several generations grew up around toxic flame retardants.

Ultimately personal responsibility cannot carry the day. Not only is it politically impossible to convince everyone to give up their luxuries and frivolities, but even if we could, these things account for a small share of our pollution. We need to transition our economy to clean energy. Carbon tax (or "pricing" if you chafe at the word "tax") is necessary (but probably not sufficient).

Yes, this will probably "harm the economy" in the same way that limiting one's credit card debt "harms their personal finances".
This is one of the main reasons why I use credit cards over debit.

If there's a dispute over a charge, I believe with debit cards the money is still out of your account until it gets sorted out -- this could be days or weeks.

With credit cards, the money in dispute is not "owed" to the card company, and at worst it reduces your available credit by that amount, which is only an issue if you're spending enough to max your card out anyway.

Even though the end result is similar, there's a bad feeling about the debit card fraud: It's my money tied up, while with credit it's the card issuer's money.
I like having my speed up for funsies so I know when I'm breaking the limit, but that's about it. The page on my head unit I use for structured training rides doesn't even have speed.
Such a conversation would include an enumeration of our rights, like free speech and the ability/duty to elect responsible leadership. It might include sharing videos of peaceful and enduring protestors getting smacked down in Hong Kong, China's attempts to erase the Tiananmen Square massacre from history, and a contemplative review of the course of history in Xinjiang.

I'd conclude by asking her to decide which rights might be worth sacrificing a visit to China or defending on our own soil.

I'd pick up the Tao Te Ching from my desk, where it lives, and show her Chapter 66.

An edit to add: one can also imagine a future where that story involves the emergence of competitive elections and free speech in currently-oppressive nations around the globe.

There are more plausible and less plausible concepts/companies out there.

Helion in particular was founded by respectable scientists who have a background in plasma physics, and they've developed their idea pretty quietly for the last 10 years, only de-stealthing this summer (presumably after reaching a key milestone). What they're trying to do is difficult, but I wouldn't say it's snake oil.

Reaching financial independence can ironically help slingshot one's career. It can remove hesitation about how to play different situations, and can allow one to become a "straight shooter" and sometimes get some nice opportunities within the organization or in a new one. Being able to say that you're leaving because the situation isn't working for you is a powerful position to be in (and can add about 10 years of life expectancy back that you may have lost due to stress in the beginning of your career).
Yes, advice without context is terrible. Any objection can be a good or bad objection based on context.
That is a sweet LG laptop you have. I daily a 2018 i9/32GB Intel MBP for work, with an eGPU and three 27" monitors. "Setup" was just plugging them in.

I've got an M1 Max 64Gb for myself, and at 4.7lbs it's just light enough given its raw power (cpu and graphics). It also handles that many monitors without resorting to the eGPU (which is a good job, since it can't use one!) Had an M1 Air before that and mostly used it with old Thunderbolt 27" display and external keyboard/mouse. But I could (and did) play factorio on it for several hours on the couch on battery.

I've always wanted to try a System76 laptop, on the basis that they'd have all that laptop-linux stuff sorted out, but Apple started making nice laptops again...

It's easy for me now to drop $4k on a laptop. A decade ago, when I switched to a MacBook I was working for myself, and "it just works" was worth it so I could concentrate on making money rather than knob twiddling. It was a stressful time, so maybe I'm still carrying that experience with me.

Federation, at least the way email, XMPP, the Fediverse, and the production version of Matrix do it, is a half-assed approach to data portability.

The biggest problem with it is that, if a formerly-good server goes bad (or goes away entirely), everyone who used it is screwed, because their identity is tied up in the server. This means your most important criteria for choosing a server is stability. In practice, most of the user base picks old, established servers, hoping that the past predicts the future, and cementing a small oligopoly who can then use their power to direct the network’s future.

Real portability, like Matrix is working on and Scuttlebutt already has, helps with this problem. If your user ID isn’t tied up in a domain name, then you can try out hosting your own server, and switch to and from it without much risk, so more people will try it.

I agree.

Alternatively, DRM software (not just games), should have a perpetual refund period that covers "DRM or server obsolescence." This is something that I could really see EU passing.

This would oblige a DRM removal patch.
GitHub isn't the only VCS provider. There's GitLab and SourceHut and there will likely be more in the future as standards coalesce. That's where open source thrives: strong and proven standards. Once VCS hosting becomes fairly standardized then Open Source will take over and the innovation cycle will start again.

The practice is so widespread that the FDA had to create an incubator/accelerator to incentivize drug-making for rare conditions: https://www.fda.gov/about-fda/center-drug-evaluation-and-res...

> People that can't afford that typically have the choice between crappy urban schools or good suburban schools.

That sounds like USA specific problem, in Poland, Kraków all good high schools were in city center. Most of students were using bus/tram.

> I'm guessing you pay significantly more for food at these local places than you would at a big box grocery store. Plus, you're less able to buy in bulk to get those time&money savings.

Not really applicable in Poland, prices in Biedronka supermarket (closest to me is on ground level of apartment tower) are basically the same as in Auchan (big supermarket on suburbs).

> Plus, you're less able to buy in bulk to get those time&money savings.

Last time I checked any savings would be eaten by extra cost and time of going over 2km to the shop.

One of my interview questions starts with "Can a program allocate more memory than is physically available on the server?"

Everybody gets this wrong (which is funny for a binary question) but it starts an interesting discussion through which I hope to learn how much they know about OS and virtual memory.
Sure, regulating spectrum availability is one thing, but the action that the FCC was taking in that piece was related to what words are allowed on regulated channels.

Recruiters have absolutely no say in what companies will ultimately pay, they negotiate within the budget a company sets out. Who ever gave you the impression that they have that power?

I've been on both sides of this table and when a recruiter passes a candidate over to me that's beyond my budget I tell them that and we move on. They aren't going to argue with the company beyond budget limits. If I ask why the candidate pool is trickling in or refusing offers they will tell me the pay range is why, but they're not the ones in charge.
I got burned by Aliexpress and now I highly recommend people use credit cards for all purchases.

I had a debit card saved on Aliexpress. The account was compromised by unknown means (maybe public wifi). Someone bought several $1,000+ phones from China that shipped to me in the US. I presume the sellers were in on it and were selling me unwanted inventory at inflated prices. Because they had tracking information, my bank (HSBC) said their hands were tied and I lost several thousand dollars overnight. It didn't matter that it was obviously fraud -- I provided customer service emails, logs showing the purchases all happened at 4am local time, and all at the exact same timestamp.

Moral of the story: don't use debit cards, don't save your cards online (save them in your browser and unselect "save this card"), don’t expect your bank to have effective fraud detection, and don't trust Aliexpress to have your back.
That is not true at all. There are also poor workaholics.

It’s the “hustle” and I know so many people, poor, in the middle, or doing quite well who like to talk about the hustle. People take pride being part of some kind of hustle. Not all people of course.
I'll come in with a hot take on this. Whether a computer can predict these types of things should be interesting to computer scientists/software engineers only.. Humans are very good at knowing who feels these things and or at least will be better than computers for the foreseeable future.

For the most part the problem isn't knowing there is an issue with a child, the problem is getting the social, cultural, political, and individual will and skills to address it in a meaningful and productive way. Identifying the issue doesn't do a lick of good if we have no way to address it. This is, for the most part, the real problem. Have you talked to your kids about suicidal thoughts/mental health in a salient way that gives them space to approach it? More importantly, have you talked to them about how to talk to their friends who are having these problems?

This is really the broader issue, mental health issues like suicide, addiction, and depression are solveable if and only if we are able to deal with the ugly discussions on a cultural and personal level. Singling broken people out by algorithm won't help us there.

Isn't that only useful for the very rare minority of people that install packages then don't run the code right after? :)
Soft-deprecating something in the standard library with a clippy lint feels a bit off for me too; I think that if something in the standard library is going to be discouraged, it should be done in the standard library itself (e.g. through documentation and/or using the deprecation warning). Clippy is absolutely phenomenal, but I tend not to think of it as something that's intended to be required by all users. Using it as a way to keep track of discouraged std types feels like it could easily lead to fragmentation where users stop looking to the standard library as the source of truth for its own contents.
Agreed. ROC AUC is fairly robust to over or undersamping a class in determining if your classifier is predictive.
people can do all of those things with groups

People take conference calls with other people all the time. So much so entire companies have been built around the idea. Sitting in front of a computer to video chat with other people is hardly isolating. Plus computers can be used while others are present.

Movies are watched with other people present very often.

Again, VR is the only thing here that isolates you and literally blocks you from your surroundings, nor can anyone else see what you're doing.

I got struck hard by this. I was very, very confused when I followed this link, looked at the repo, and saw commits from five years ago.
Yes you're right, my bad - it doesn't answer the question in the article though. What's the expected number of divisors? That doesn't follow from this kind of analysis, because the ones that aren't highly composite could be 'very' uncomposite for some reason.
Given that you are sending pounds instead of dollars, I'm guessing you live in a civilized place with modern banking and not a backwoods like the USA.

The problem is not technology, it's the USA banking system. We have no way to instantly send money to someone over a few thousand dollars without huge fees. Oftentimes rent exceeds that limit in urban areas.
I mostly didn't follow the talk about confinement, but I am slightly concerned about neutron activation. He3 fusion is more "neutron-light" than it is completely aneutronic. Operating at reasonable power levels, the reactor is going to be fairly radioactive after a few years. Widespread adoption of fusion is going to require the general public to be more relaxed about low level radioactive waste than they historically have been.

The quotes about total system efficiency is also odd. "95% efficient"? They're not planning on capturing heat energy, so neutron heating is totally wasted, and they're talking about using entirely resistive 12 tesla magnets, which will also throw off a lot of heat.
