1. I don't know Discord that well but looking at their Github it lists Javascript, Python, Rust, C++ and Elixir (in that order). Is Elixir their main language? Their careers page has tech all over the place - Rust, Java, Python, I actually am not bumping into Elixir. Could be a coincidence but it reinforces my feeling that Elixir is not the main language on Discord (if they even have one).

2. The amount of users Discord has has nothing much to do with anything.
Facebook has 2 billion users and its programming language is Hack. So Hack isn't obscure? How many people know and use Hack besides a few thousand Facebook employees? If Facebook gets 2 more billion users in the next decade will Hack become 2x as popular?
is the dril tweet even wrong though?
I believe it is something to do with style formatting than the syntax formatting. I use VSCodium for HTML/CSS and I use Prettier to "style" it in a particular way. Some will style it into a long code and other will style it in chucks.
Yeah, it was interesting that they phrased the conclusion negatively:

> On the basis of the change in depression scores on the QIDS-SR-16 at week 6, this trial did not show a significant difference in antidepressant effects between psilocybin and escitalopram in a selected group of patients. Secondary outcomes generally favored psilocybin over escitalopram, but the analyses of these outcomes lacked correction for multiple comparisons. Larger and longer trials are required to compare psilocybin with established antidepressants.

For no significant difference in outcome, I'd much rather have two psilocybin sessions versus daily SSRI use.
well there are a number of agencies around, some are rather local to the area, some small international (focused on a few countries), some I have worked with basically just called me like a recruiter - which is all they do - they try to recruit you and sell you for time limited projects.

At the beginning I tell them right up how much I want which the rule I was told starting out is you should earn at least two times as much consulting as you do in permanent employment otherwise it isn't worth the extra risk.

A recruiter's job naturally depends on being able to have good employees for their clients, but (this part is my assumption based on observing how they work) the ones dealing with consultants have this pressure to a greater deal because there is a higher turnover, medium and large companies hire consultants and sometimes might have a dozen at a time come in on something big, the purpose of the company is to minimize how long they need the consultant so they estimate how long they need them for and make a contract based on that - so for example I worked at a large media company for 2 years paying $100 an hour and VAT on top of that - but the first contract (IIRC) was for 3 months, renewed for 3 months, and then they started asking me for 6 month contracts.

When a company hires for 3 months and renews for 3 months and then wants you for 6 months more but you happen to get an offer that sounds more attractive right at that point ( maybe you get a job for half the hours per day but you manage to negotiate $160 an hour and you would rather take it easy at almost the same rate - as happened to me recently) then the recruiter gets an opportunity to bring in more of their consultants, so big companies long projects lots of consultants - more turnover for recruiters closer working relationship with company more need to give them consultants they are happy with because otherwise suddenly that well dries up.

so what I'm saying is that you get a good working relationship with the recruiter because you came through for company A and company B then when company C rolls around they are going to try to really sell you there.

Of course a bit after your contract with company A is over, if you maintain connections there you can connect with them and get a higher rate than the recruiter can give you while also working cheaper for the company, although often these companies prefer to work with a recruiter so they know the paperwork is all in order etc.

I think it does work like the agency model, but not agents for superstars - more like agents for the working rank and file actors.
Mapping the Human Brain
Fair enough. I was trying to come up with something weird that JavaScript does with numbers and I guess I chose the wrong thing.
FreeRDP is CLI-launch-only, so if you tried to start it via the GUI, that may have been your problem. We should probably rework BeRDP to use FreeRDP instead of rdesktop, but that's more involved.

I think KRDC may be hardcoded to use "xfreerdp", so it won't find the Haiku variant.

Yeah, "autoremove" isn't implemented unfortunately, nobody has gotten around to that yet. It would indeed be nice to have.
There was a library to use webcams for entropy called lavarnd up until about 8 years ago, as well. I am unsure if the api to the os changed or there's a functional difference between ccd and cmos or whatever.

I do a lot of entropy research, and was annoyed I had to roll my own implementation for a no-photon camera entropy source.
It doesn't matter where they are fab'ed. There is so much pressure worldwide to not add them to communications infrastructure by those that depend on US defense (basically everyone outside of Russia an China) that, if anything, I think this situation gets worse for these two.
My significant other is my only Telegram contact — used only for urgent stuff.
We used email for non-urgent communication, but I didn't like having our one-on-one writing mixed with all the outside noise. We just switched to Pony for the non-urgent stuff. I anticipate her being my only Pony contact.

Anyway, I'm stoked to have Pony. Thanks!
tl;dr In France, we don't consider that people have a different race, we only actively consider white people to be intellectually superior (or no: only intellectually superior at programming. european brains are more suited for coding than african ones).

But don't worry, this widespread belief certainly doesn't impact any of our hiring decisions or our society whatsoever. In fact, it impacts our society so little, we've made it illegal to gather any statistics about how it might impact our society.
I purposely avoided the asset bubble collapse because it's all so volatile and overhwelming right now. But you're right - and it would quite likley crater rents.
- Donald Knuth will die

- Joe Biden will become unable to maintain office (due to age / health related issues) and his VP will become president; many will theorize this was the plan all along

- People will settle down about COVID regardless of what happens. There will be more backlash as we continue to learn more about the vaccines (and require boosters at some currently undetermined interval)

- $SPY will lose 100+ points but regain that. Prices of goods and services will continue to spiral out of control

It's a logistical nightmare. It's fine perhaps for a single person, but with kids and less technical elderly parents, it becomes troublesome.

Every new device requires logging into a bunch of services. When a login expires I have to explain how to log in again and what the password is. The kids (and I!) have to remember which content they want to watch right now is on which service.

At least with cable I could just leave a single page instruction sheet that said "press this button on the remote, and the cable will turn on, here are the channel numbers you care about".
Nobody should have to decode register values, look up source files versions, or reconstruct a stack trace by hand. Crashes, both in user- and kernel-space, should produce neat, tidy, self-contained dumps that include not only the entire machine state, but globally unique build IDs for all binaries involved in the crash. And the debugger ought to be able to load one of these crash dumps and find the debug symbols and source files automatically.

Windows has been able to do this for decades. Why, in Unix-land, are we still reading text reports about crashes and puzzling over specific register values?

Yes the FOMO does go both ways. Without a network problem it will still hold some value but could be less than 1% of current market traded price in that scenario but unlikely zero.
I am with you on 3D printing being over hyped often. But keep in mind you are arguing that

COST_3D-(COST_CONVENTIONAL+SALARY_MACHINIST) = SAVINGS

is more than the literally unreproducible parts 3D printing can achieve. These are not comparable quantities.
It depends on your interests, I just joined a decentralized biotech discord where people are exploring alternative funding mechanisms for both non-profit science and biotech startups. There are quite a few art discords/communities that are focused on the actual art (and not on resale prices).
I've had this happen during new TLD launches. I owned lap.top for about a day but so did a whole lot of people. I lost that race. You don't own a domain. You rent it and the registrar can take it back. They generally don't, outside of trademark issues, legal problems or race conditions but they can.
> Major inflation like we haven't seen since the 1970s

I'm quite happy to bet that inflation over the next year will be no more than 10%. I'd even take 5% at good odds. If it does hit that, it will do incredible things for my fixed-rate mortgage as well as my portfolio. No, I do not have significant "cash" savings.

Otherwise I agree with your predictions. There may well be a crypto boom or two to go with the busts.
Don’t be so hard on yourself. This isn’t an uncommon feeling. The people that develop extraordinary skills are often quite ordinary.

YMMV but this works for me…

Have an interest in some topic? Develop that interest, deliberately. Build it into a passion over time. Allot a small amount of time every day to learn and think about it. Everything we love to do has an ugly side. Embrace it. Accept it as the cost of doing what you love/want to do. Most of the time spent developing skills and interests can feel like complete drudgery. Or it can feel like a journey, with moments of enlightenment along the way.

If at all possible, never let your personal situation be an excuse for feeling this way. Just go for it!

Edit: a word
Just out of curiosity, what is the reasoning behind you not getting vaccinated?
The amount of money this IPv4 space is valued at now - while astronomical in comparison to past pricing, sure - might as well be $0 when you compare it to the colossal expenses in both funds and manpower to update literally decades of now-critical infrastructure that treated this address space as sacred.

Galaxy brain magnitude of difference here.

This analysis strikes me as exactly the same type of MBA-rot that chases quarterly earning reports over long-term business health. This sale benefits, in real terms, zero people, while imposing costs on almost every single existing user (whether they realize it or not).
Not sure this is all that useful or interesting as thought experiment...

That the Doctor is greedy is in the premise, but why would anyone settle for a greedy doctor at all?
>However, that's a different claim altogether from the idea that white and black people (again, an imaginary category) have a statistically significant difference in average intellectual capacity.

1. what counts as "statistically significant difference"? A 0.01% increase can be statistically significant if your sample size is high enough.

2. Going back to a few comments ago, why do you think that differences can materialize between ethnicities, but the differences stop at the brain?
Honestly I feel like the spirit of this application would be "just wait until the next delivery".

Any changes 10 minutes before the deadline? That one will wait for the next day. That way you're forced to think for at least 10 minutes "do I really want to send this?"
If TSLA valuation was crashing, but it isn’t. So he keeps doing it. You can even make a point that now it’s his fiduciary duty to keep on acting as such, as it has proven incredibly profitable for shareholders.

If you have a "unified 'IP Registry'", as you (I think correctly) posit would be useful, why does it have to be done with a blockchain?

Blockchains are useful for decentralized decisions, but decentralization is antithetical to the kind of thing you would need in order to take an IP claim to court. If you and another person with alleged IP claims to the same work but different registries show up to court, the court has no way to determine which registrar is authoritative for that work, and will ignore both of you. IP without government enforcement is literally useless, so your IP rights are nothing.

This is why property records, patents, etc. aren't decentralized. You and another person can't both have a legitimate claim to the same patent based on two different patent decentralized blockchain records, as cool as that concept might sound technically.

And once a system is unified, it doesn't need to be a blockchain. You can just have a simple database.
It's only one data point, but here in Washington state grassroots organizers have stopped Amazon (and Microsoft) from passing the Bad Washington Privacy Act three years in a row now. The key has been the Tech Equity Coalition, a loose coalition group of organizations and individuals (including civil rights, labor, immigrant rights groups). Local progressive activists have also gotten deeply involved, and of course we've gotten help from national groups like EPIC, Consumer Federation of America, and EFF. We also got the King County Council to pass a ban on government use of facial recognition -- and that's Amazon and Microsoft's home turf!

Of course, we still haven't passed strong privacy legislation yet. In the 2021 session Amazon and Microsoft's lobbying was enough to prevent the bill we brought from even getting a hearing. So, we'll see what happens in 2022. But it feels like momentum is on our side.
Kyle Rittenhouse Acquitted on All Counts
Well, anything that was part of the cable package--which increasingly was not where a significant amount of top TV (and certainly films) were available from, especially without adding on a lot of premium content like HBO.

I canceled my cable TV as I increasingly realized I simply was watching either live or recorded on my TiVo stuff once in a blue moon.
String manipulation, Random generator (supports strings and UUIDs), Remote Containers ( must have for Docker), Rainbow brackets, Settings Sync, Markdown Preview, Editorconfig Support, Intellij Keybindings?, A lot of themes!
Except for Enes Kanter, but 100% agree.
I also strongly agree (with the original statement, and your own items). It is incredible how many urban planers and/or transport engineers subscribe to that fallacy, and consequently how the tides of consensus in planing forums/reddits/... are turning towards sub-optimal solutions. One thing that irks me on those forums is the resurgence of the idea of focusing on buses (as opposed to rail) in urban mass transport. No one seems to understand that buses are much more uncomfortable, and doesn't allow you to zone out because:

- All kinds of strong accelerations (stopping on intersections, turning right angles, jumping around on hills or potholes), impossible to read anything without getting motion-sickness, and in extreme cases sometimes you have to use gym-equipment-like strength to just keep yourself from falling.
- The time spent waiting for a bus at the stop or connection doesn't allow zoning out, you have to keep constantly on the lookout for the right bus among other buses and other traffic (while in a metro station you can completely forget about the world and still you won't miss a giant train arriving and opening its doors).
Why would it be banned? Doesn't wall street love order flow?
> contract terms are much more standardized

Yeah but I wonder, how much of this is because we (as a group/subculture) are terrible at negotiating and don't have agents helping us with it?

I mean, I have to actually work with the people and do the job, so in addition to being bad at contract negotiation I'm also factoring in a bunch of stuff that's orthogonal to the paycheck. Whereas the agent is negotiating for a number, of which she gets 10%, and short of making enemies that's the only consideration.
What precisely is going to stop it? Where else is the safety-seeking money going to go? Even the periodic threat of a gratuitous default doesn't rattle US bond prices.
These keep getting flagged.
That's a good counterpoint, I guess the obvious question is why your viewpoint is opposed.

Medical marijuana lobbyists have an easy, obvious answer: impediments are the result of a failed and ill-considered war on drugs that's actively causing lots and lots of harm. It's easy to see yourself as virtuous in that scenario.

Anti-privacy lobbyists have to go through more difficult mental contortions: large movements of people are concerned about the privacy invasions our devices represent, and that puts our future profits at risk. People are very capable of being irrational when their paycheck depends on it, but that feels too far to me.
Beware confirmation bias. There are certainly companies like that, but I bet there are many more that aren't that don't rise to your attention level.

Profit is the holy grail for all companies. It's not an accidental outcome that Toyota is profitable. The quest for profit is the basis for everything they do, even if it doesn't seem like it. They just picked their heads up a little compared to their US peers so they can see farther down the road.
You are so cute with your nihilistic anger, do you really think you can teach Gen X anything about that?
You started a hellish race flamewar with this comment. Not cool.

Please don't take HN threads further into generic ideological flamewar. That's just what we don't want here, because it's extremely repetitive. It also almost always turns nasty. Those properties hold true regardless of which ideologies people are battling for or against. All of this is therefore off topic here.

CPI & PPI will remain high.

Despite that, central banks won't meaningfully tapper or raise rates (some have already started, and more will try, but soon they will revert to low/current rates).

Inequality will continue to get worse.

Despite that, wealth will not get taxed.

The Great Resignation will not happen (even though we're told it already is/has happened).
I don't think this is true anymore. The average user may not know what end-to-end encryption is, but they know they don't trust Facebook. And Apple built a whole marketing campaign around user privacy.

I think most people do care about privacy, but they're usually powerless to defend it.
There will be more slow "disclosure" of UFO/UAP life
We were at an AirBNB with cable, and let our kid watch a bit of children's cable content.

My god, the ads. So many. So flashy. After every single one, she was convinced she needed whatever toy was being peddled.

Yeah, the privilege is absolutely nuts. I've had to make very concrete plans to move if elections in my state ever starts to turn really red. I don't give two shits about most politics, but I have zero choice but huddle up against the Democrats because they're the only ones not actively trying to harm me and at least pay lip service to my issue. In the absence of R's treatment of minorities, stupid manufactured culture war wedge issues, and sudden onset bootlicking, I would probably be one. I don't get that choice though. Like the only thing that has kept me safe the past decade is my state supreme court and the ACLU.

> All the anecdotes you provides lack crucial details

I don't know all the details and I agree that they could have prevented it, if they had known how to do it. The point of these anecdotes was to show that there seems to be a serious issue with the design of this feature to cause problems this frequently.

Issues IMO are:

- default setting to restart when user is logged in and has applications opened is kind of hostile towards the user as it can lead to data loss (updates are important, but not more important than user's data)

- there is no way to configure this in the Settings app (nor is there any information in Windows Update settings that informs the user about this)

- setting is buried inside group policies. It's hard to find the correct setting without instructions. (and there are a lot of bad instructions online regarding this)

- all things considered, this feels like a dark pattern.

> If you're using the Professional Edition and are worried about data loss because of update-related reboots, configure a proper update schedule and group policies - that's what the Professional edition is for.

Configuration has reset for me once after a feature update. It might have been due to a bug, I'm not sure. Anyway, it happened long ago, under Win 8 Pro I think. Not really relevant anymore.

> Windows has a feature that allows apps to auto-reopen and restore their state after a reboot. The fact that most software doesn't support this is not the fault of the OS either.

The fact that it proceeds with a restart even, if not all running applications support this feature, is the fault of the OS. It's a good feature and hopefully it will gain more support in the future.
FWIW, I had heard of Matrix, Rust, and E2EE. :-)
I felt the way you did at 20. Now, at 44, I still feel this way. I'm much closer to accepting that it's all OK, though.
Because the purpose of a govt is to make laws for everyone. The tyranny of the majority is just tyranny in the end (this is what authoritarian govts, ironically, fail to understand about democracy...debate and disagreement seems weak and decadent to them, it is not, I think that US politics has relatively weak controls on lobbying but the perfect outcome is not a ban on lobbying...most successful authoritarian govts operate by claiming to represent the voice of "the people"). And btw, this is how US politics is designed, the people who created the US constitution were very aware of how democracy ended the first time.
This was said about India up until June this year when they were hit. Of course natural immunity (and survivorship bias) kicked in as expected. Maybe that’s what has been happening to SSA, just not in one massive sweep.
