Countryside Sweden is where it's at!

In my area of southernmost Sweden countryside we have 99,8% fiber connectivity.

You pay about 2000 dollar no matter what to get fiber ditched and connected to your cabin unless it's already connected.

Also it is:

- way warmer than Stockholm

- way cheaper

- way less douchebag people

- 2 hours to Denmark (3 to Germany)

The problem here is that the company is using bad practices. That's just asking for trouble, no matter how good or bad your new hire is. Start using code review, 4 eyes to deploy to production, and you're fine.

A bad hiring manager is a far bigger risk to any company. And yet many companies seem completely unaware of it, considering the number of bad hiring managers.

It's debatable what someone meant or didn't mean, if they don't say it. I tend to go by what someone actually said. Especially on the internet (or writing in general) i.e. people you don't know, whose background you don't know, without intonation etc. There's very little to no information for interpretation.

Now you asked a new question. Fair enough. Unlike the previous question, where Contergan immediately jumped to my mind, for your question nothing jumps to mind. But google helped. I think you wanted to ask a different question, more like what I originally answered to, e.g.:

Can you name any approved drug that, that when taken over a short course, can over the long term cause the death of the person taking it?

You did ask though:

Can you name any drug that, when taken over a short course, has had long term detrimental effects to the person taking it?

Yes I can, for example: Heroin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroin

Let's take that apart:

name any drug

Check. Heroin is a drug. It's even been prescribed as a pain killing opioid.

The UK Department of Health's Rolleston Committee Report in 1926 established the British approach to diamorphine prescription to users, which was maintained for the next 40 years: dealers were prosecuted, but doctors could prescribe diamorphine to users when withdrawing. In 1964, the Brain Committee recommended that only selected approved doctors working at approved specialized centres be allowed to prescribe diamorphine and cocaine to users. The law was made more restrictive in 1968. Beginning in the 1970s, the emphasis shifted to abstinence and the use of methadone; currently, only a small number of users in the UK are prescribed diamorphine.

taken over a short term

Check. Heroin is apparently way up there in addictiveness. After a very short period of time, you will be addicted (even if not like some people claim, after the very first use and regardless of dose or your own addiction susceptibility.

However, contrary to Bayer's advertising as a "non-addictive morphine substitute," heroin would soon have one of the highest rates of addiction among its users.

Also https://web.archive.org/web/20100213101818/http://www.drugre... which curiously notes that nicotine is even more addictive than heroin. I'll not mention nicotine further here though, because the detrimental effect come from the other substances usually taken with it when ingested via tobacco as far as I am aware (tar).

long term detrimental effects to the person taking it

Check. Detrimental effects of heroin are numerous. And given it's addictive very fast, even side effects that only turn up later, I would definitely include.

Common side effects include respiratory depression (decreased breathing), dry mouth, drowsiness, impaired mental function, constipation, and addiction.[12] Side effects of use by injection can include abscesses, infected heart valves, blood-borne infections, and pneumonia.[12] After a history of long-term use, opioid withdrawal symptoms can begin within hours of the last use.

Not to mention the constant possibility of overdosing. Meaning death. The ultimate detrimental effect.

Trust. Why is it that random people can submit packages? Make it so they can't. Only trustworthy people should be able to do that. People who care, so that we don't have to. People we can trust. This is how Linux distributions work and you just don't see malware randomly making its way into official repositories.
This might surprise you, but Haskell can do IO. It even has a name. It's called "IO". Shocking, I know. (IO happens to be a monad, which I'm sure someone will point out soon, but that's not important right now.)

Yep. Hydro is reliably something like 4¢/kWh wholesale so Helion is aiming to be 75% cheaper. Of course the real benefit is that hydro is pretty bad environmentally and limited geographically whereas fusion in theory should be infinitely scalable.

Great app. I can confirm it works well with the new M1 Max and Monterey. Currently using with dual Pro Display XDRs in clamshell mode (14" MacBook Pro).

It allowed using HiDPI at a higher resolution (4k or 3840x2160) than the M1 chipset natively allows (3k or 3008x1692 HiDPI on the 6k XDRs).

Do homicides increase? Or merely gun-based homicides become more prevalent?

I think that gun dealers likely open their doors when people are more likely to want to make a purchase. The supply and demand curve isn’t that demand for guns supplies murder, but rather the population having a larger predisposition to violence during certain times leads to these correlated data points, WITHOUT causation. That is of course, very boring and nuanced and not likely to be interesting enough for grant money or as a political wedge.

“People in bad circumstances act poorly” is not really that intellectually stimulating, to wit.

Nice point. By the way, IMO, some long-known and safe substances should also be given new tries in combination with the researched psychedelics. E.g. I believe piracetam is a great thing to take half an hour before you take MDMA - it may catalyse the effect (in a therapeutic setting especially as speaking boost is among its effects) and prevent hangover. It's not approved by the FDA but widely used in Europe and obviously (given a really huge base of empiric evidence) safe.
In the two party system in the US, this isn't really a viable option. It's a strange place where you're not allowed to be both pro-choice and against intrusive government. It makes an even stronger case for reigning in the centralized power of federal and state bureaucrats because they're even less accountable.

Plenty of people these days buy a home without even seeing it in person, because demand is so high. Even if you go see it, you can't dawdle for too long or you're going to miss out. Most houses around here are sold for way above asking price.

If she can't eat, keep her hydrated.

A relative of mine survived colon cancer when they were not expected to and was gaining weight during a time when most cancer patients are losing weight. If he couldn't eat lunch, he got a homemade milkshake with milk, ice cream and fresh fruit. If he was too sick for that, ice, frozen juice and frozen fruit got blended together.

Some days, such meal substitutes accounted for both lunch and dinner.

Good wishes. Sorry you and yours are going through this.
SELinux does a heck of a lot to improve this on a per-binary / per-user basis, yeah.

But I want this in process. Because libraries are in practice very frequently treated as black boxes (like binaries)[1], but without any ability to limit their access like we can for users/binaries/etc.

There are some WASM things that do kinda what I want and pull off neat end results, but they're kinda tough to use together, and have obvious perf/debuggability/etc costs. e.g.: https://github.com/dtolnay/watt

[1] unfortunate in many ways, but largely reasonable IMO (simpler abstractions of things we don't want to think about is the whole point of shared libraries), and I don't believe the industry is capable of reversing course on this either way.

That's not much, but it's not the 2x-4x more efficient it'd need to compensate for the smaller battery.

Only for idle, browsing, video en/decoding, etc will you see significant improvements. For developers, the M1 is close, but not perfect.

Have also had a cooked laptop in the past (in my case it was a Mac). A few years later when using a Linux laptop I decided to disabled sleep entirely but left hibernation available instead [1]. This means that desktop environments will not show the sleep option at all, instead they will just show the hibernation option. Also I have the laptop set to automatically hibernate if it is running on battery power and the lid gets closed. Have also configured it to ignore any lid open events therefore it will only wake when the power button gets pressed. Waking from hibernation isn't quite as quick as from sleep but its not that bad and I've never had a cooked laptop again!

I don't see anything of substance in those tweets.

It was slower with the fewer threads, and giving it more threads made it even slower. Celebrating this as awesome efficiency is..."interesting".

And saying that "being fast is not the goal" doesn't debunk the result or make its methodology flawed. Quite the contrary, it raises a good discussion about what those goals may be and clears up misconceptions, because apparently many people do believe it is faster (and for many async-style APIs those claims are either made or at least strongly hinted at and not disavowed. Looking at you, GCD/libdispatch).
Do I need to explain that copyright is practically unenforceable in the 21st century? Data is trivially copied and there's nothing you can do to fight that, no amount of laws will ever make it non-trivial again. Even if you successfully sue somebody for this, it won't stop them.

Hi, sorry you're going through this, but you've got lots of company. My mom was diagnosed with lymphoma (cancer in lymph system), and lived 10 years with it, 9 1/2 of which were good ones.

First off, obviously, nothing makes it "ok". It is tough.

Secondly, focus on if you are doing the thing that needs doing now, and if you find your thoughts on "what do I do to fix things?" or "what if...?", gently move your thoughts back to "what is the thing that needs doing now?" Expect to have to keep doing this, and don't be impatient with yourself. Just know that your thoughts will tend to wander into questions that are not answerable, so you will need to repeatedly shift them back to doing whatever needs doing at that moment, knowing at the same time that your thoughts will wander again.

Remember to tell your mom that you love her, of course.

Also allow her to talk about whatever she wants to talk about. Sometimes she may want to talk about you, not about her cancer, just so that she can think about something else.

If mom is living with your dad, he may need to have someone to talk to when your mom is not around, so be available to him to vent/rant/process his emotions as well. In this case, you mostly just need to listen without trying to fix things or have an answer, necessarily.

If you find your emotions getting the best of you, try to calm yourself of course, but also don't get too upset at yourself either. It's normal.

I have spent five minutes hunting the Interweb for information on the biodegradability of cellulose nano fibres. (I think that is called "doing my research", whatever)

I find a lot of people assuming they are biodegradable, which seems reasonable. But no reports of anybody testing the proposition.

Nanofibres have unique chemical properties and it may turn out that microorganisms cannot process them. I am not a chemist, let alone a bio-chemist...

Does anybody in Hacker News Hivemind know of actual experiments composting nano cellulose?

Assumptions or reasoning do not count
At RunKit, we've actually installed every version of every package, and I can assure you that it is not the case that there's tons of packages using install scripts for really great reasons. For starters, the vast majority of packages do not use this feature. Then, you have to consider that install scripts are a very old feature designed for a series of constraints that are either no longer representative of the state of the ecosystem, or quickly won't be. For example:

1. The most "legitimate" use of install scripts is to build binary node addons. N-API is a much better alternative with ABI compatibility that will allow the package to just ship built, which aside from being a much friendlier and faster install experience, will also allow for more deterministic builds and better caching.

2. Many install scripts just transpile code on installation. It would be much better to instead just transpile the code on publish. This is something that requires nothing new and everyone should absolutely just do today. It's crazy that people re-download and retranspile the same code over and over.

3. Many install scripts simply download non-npm resources, like apt dependencies or things like Chromium. It would be a lot better, a decade after npm's introduction, to standardize this common use case like this instead of having everyone roll their own. We actually implemented our own version of this where we can just list apt dependencies in our package.json. It gives you so many more options on how to optimize builds and provides you so much better information about your dependencies to have this be a "declarative" piece of the puzzle as opposed to having every package figure out their own slightly different way of doing this.

4. Many install scripts just present the user with ads. NPM should also just add a package.json field for donation links or whatever and provide a good standard way of disabling this as opposed to spinning up a process just to present ads.

5. And of course, some install scripts are used maliciously.

All this to say, 10 years later, there aren't actually a bunch of "wow, what an interesting use of the install script" examples, but rather just a bunch of fairly limited common uses (that could be better handled by npm itself), and yes, some interesting stuff, but also a worrying amount of abuses, that are easily duplicated and that we are currently doing nothing to stop. Given a proper transitional period, where npm just warns you above an install script rather than failing, I think most packages could be made to not require custom install scripts. And again, this is for a small percentage of packages, nowhere near the undertaking of converting packages on NPM from CommonJS to ESM for example. And, it's not that it would be disallowed, it's just that the rare package that really did need to do something really out there would need a flag. Having actually queried all the packages, I am certain this could be done with basically no disruption for end users, certainly no disruption to most package authors that don't use these scripts, and almost no disruption for the few package authors that currently use this feature.
I went through this with my sister 10 years ago. One thing that stands out: work. My employer was great, very supportive, no pressure at all. By contrast, my other siblings were constantly stressed out. They kept trying to squeeze in work at the hospital, saying stuff like, "My boss knows I'm at the hospital with my stage-4 sister, but he keeps calling me. He's gonna fire me if I don't get back in the office." This is when I fully realized the value of company culture - actually caring about staff, or at the very least, not treating staff like shit.

I'm still at the same company, and I have never even considered quitting (no serious consideration, that is), mostly because of this experience. It meant that much to me.

A lot of people seem to think that type systems are either "you have it or you don't", when in actuality there are languages with type systems that can express significantly more intricate relationships among data than the common languages.

The issue, of course, is that most common languages people use have a type system based on C's (with minor improvements). Those are all mostly interchangeable. But languages like Haskell and OCaml have the capabilities to directly express notions with types that Python, Java, or C would deeply struggle with.

(All this is to say: I agree with your point that people would benefit from doing a bit of Haskell to experience this first-hand!)
