Meditation. Unironically. I haven't kept up with it because I'm a lazy person who's been too busy having a mental breakdown, but I find I often end up pulling something up when my attention wavers or I have a stray thought that pulls me out of the moment. When I meditate, I'm more aware of my thought patterns and can notice stray thoughts as stray thoughts (as opposed to boredom or disinterest; they're surprisingly hard to differentiate sometimes, at least for me.)
YouTube and Instagram search (each of which make a concerted effort to derail your search with dozens of shiny examples of viral content) is a good example of how difficult it is to maintain focus against tools optimized for their own benefit (engagement).

"Movie theatres might not be the problem compared to the orgies"

Yeah human connection has been interesting, I'm finding people are very open to it. I'm finding many people are having a nihilistic-but-not-depressed view (there is a specific word for that but I can't find it).

I find that I like that at-risk populations are not the people I encounter, as they stay home whether the government is involved or not (and the private sector is more conducive to that now for more job types).

So its this two-tiered world of fit people not likely to experience any symptoms, and everyone else. The former is partying, even in the most restrictive counties and states in the US, as this is also allowed unrestricted, whereas for others almost nothing has changed for 2 years. For example, reading the sister comments here suggest there are many people that have not reintegrated into society whether its from disruptions of social circles and the monotony of remote work, to fear, to being in an at risk population, to being around or living with people in at risk populations. And at this point there's been a branch of which nodes in the network connect at all.
> It seems the Linus's quote "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow", is not really true.

Well that's the issue isn't it. Very few have read the log4j code, even though thousands of developers have incorporated it into they projects. Right now all eyes are on log4j and the bugs a showing up quicker than the log4j users can patch.

This is one of the reasons why unnecessary complexity and the general wireless trend is a bad thing. Wired headphones cannot have this problem. They can't have bluetooth syncing issues, they can't rarely catch fire or explode, and their batteries never need to die or be replaced. Reliance on these sorts of technologies is a new kind of sloth.

>They distribute a plug-in for OBS, separately, and that’s usually not considered a GPL violation, even if the plug-in is closed source.

That doesn't appear to be Gnu's position. Obs plugins definitely "share complex data structures".

"If the main program and the plugins are a single combined program then this means you must license the plug-in under the GPL..."

"If the main program uses fork and exec to invoke plug-ins, and they establish intimate communication by sharing [or shipping] complex data structures...that can make them one single combined program"

"If the main program dynamically links plug-ins, and they make function calls to each other and share data structures, we believe they form a single combined program"

I agree that the branding was confusing, but it seems that most HN commenters aren't reading anything beyond the headline.
Ive read your other comments in this thread and was amazed to see you referring to yourself as an advocate.

I think you do the language a disservice and associate Perl with childish views on other languages.

May explain why Perl is struggling.

I really hoped unintelligent bashing of languages died out after those of us who were 12 in the 90s grew up and realised peoples tooling isn't a personal statement.

Payment. Every emailed sent needs a payment token. Maybe like a few cents similar to postage. If your reputations got screwed because doing spamish activities, rates go up cost say 1 dollar per email. Each sender must have verified account just like FB that maps to your national IDs. Over night spam will plunge. Of course getting this implemented across the world would be impossible. We could wage war with any countries that refuse to participate...just like any countires wishing to undermine USD. So to summarize, just live with it. Nothing can be done without you sacrificing something dear to you. Spam is a minor nuisance we all can tolerate.

You seemed to have missed the part where the same comment called the OP's concerns "unhelpful paranoia" after the OP's doctor said that the pain they're experiencing is due to chemical burns.

So instead of armchairing the chemical composition of smoke, how about we just not call other people's concerns paranoid, and not excuse others doing so?

This forum's guidelines call for civil discussion, and the OP also commented in this thread. Paranoia is not a word that belongs here.
The problem we have here is that the big social media companies want to become the commons of the web, but they don't want to take on the responsibility this entails.

They want to be the storage source for all of your emails, photographs, and videos; and would even love to host things like your medical records; but if you are holding a person's entire life then that should entail a higher level of responsibility.

To be honest, I don't think it's wise to entrust everything to a company that is supplying its services for free. If you are paying a company then you have a contract and the company is bound by legal responsibilities that can be enforced by the law. If you are not paying for a service then they have no responsibilities apart from those they hold themselves to, and you have no legal recourse if they suddenly deny you access to the services they are providing.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply! (Apologies for my slightly late response.)

The consideration to consider blindness/deafness as a source of insight to reading social cues is definitely not something I would've thought of anytime soon. I think I might just follow up on that.

Regarding the "actually-relevant implementation detail" perspective of (neuro?)biology, I echo the sentiment of the other comment :) - I also find it all too easy to lose sight of the bounds of the bounding box and forget how important it can be to correct for them.
Well JPM sure must have the same training as we do, and I cannot imagine the SEC not reinforcing this value, that compliance to regulation is the first responsibility of a bank employee, esp after the crisis where we're painted sometimes basically as the devil's spawn responsible of all of society's injustices.

So putting the blame at the top is easy, but there were lots of little hands in between who should face some reckoning imho. And I bet you the top will do nothing else than just say "dudes, for the nth time, please please please disobey orders that clearly contravene normal practice".

I believe it's been shown as a general capability in [corvids](https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Ravens-attribute-visua...), great apes and maybe possibly in pigs (and goats). It's sort of game theoretic, as in "I know that you know that I stash food here so I'm going to pretend to hide the food here". I've never read anything that goes beyond two levels of "I knows" but it can be sophisticated, such as in the linked paper on Ravens where there is line of sight through a peephole that can be open or closed.

Sophisticated ToM is likely rare in the animal kingdom, not usually going beyond programmed responses to being observed and possibly empathizing with conspecific suffering.

In humans, it's a much more sophisticated process of inferring motivations, anticipating moves and a number of similar inferential capabilities plus abductive reasoning.

Amazon exerts lots of control over the delivery partners but blames them when there are any problems.

I find it helps a little to remember that learning and observation are skills and humans, like other animals, 'play' for a reason. Even if you didn't 'produce' anything, you practiced your skills of observation and deduction, which are survival skills.

I'm also someone who has to have a real 'reason' to do things. The best short-circuit I've found is finding the value in my own desires.
In line with your (possibly misguided) thinking, I too have some amateur thoughts that are probably equally wrong: https://pawel.fyi/post/red-shift
This can be explained as associative learning, without needing to reach for ToM, which is still no mean feat.

Another person talking about blockchains as the future for societal and economic organistation but not understanding the very basics. I wonder how the author thinks e.g. resource gathering for industrial production is achievable in a decentralised way.
This is the pipe dream of people that have enough disposable income, something not a reality for most people on this planet. And precisely this majority of people is responsible for the the very real, material foundation of the blockchain he loves so much, but he cannot think about it lest he admit the futility of his ways.
Not exactly doubting you, but is this really accurate? I hear a lot of "fact checkers are biased marxist commies" coming from people who just don't like it when "their side" is criticised.

Which is silly. At least I can talk about fact checkers in my country: they give you a write-up of all the sources and reasoning they pursued to ascertain the truth of some thing, then add their own evaluation in a scale of true, mostly true, false, pants on fire. How can people say they're biased when they give you a 100% transparent detail of how they came to their conclusion?

Also, it's funny when people say that multi-billion dollar media corporations are biased... towards the left x)

I'm all for simple technology, and I use wired headphones. However, I can also understand that people like their wireless headphones, they like noise cancellation and so on. I think it's fine to increase complexity when it's necessary to get a better product (depending on your measure of “better”) — I would rather focus on making that additional complexity safe and reliable. A lot of things we rely on today are incredibly complex but work quite well and are quite safe.
Since whenever you don't use it to describe yourself.

Especially when it's used to dismiss OP's burns, doubly so without so much as having even seen the OP.

Add to this that the OP said that they were told that these are chemical burns by the doctor in urgent care. So calling them a hypochondriac implies they lied about it too.

It's quite insulting, in short, and let's not pretend we don't know that.
That sucks. All I can say us that I run spamassassin and never lose mails. I receive some marketing on my info@ and webmaster@ aliases, mostly for SEO. But fortunately there isn't much coming in. I use custom aliases for registrations and such so I can notify the source in case my associated mail address with them is being spammed. But that rarely happens. I've never had to block an address, spam always stopped coming in after 2-3 mails when it leaked from somewhere.

It's probably good not to have html / load external media enabled. Makes the address seem inactive because tracking mechanisms won't work (e.g. tracking pixels [1].

How does the CDC get covid infection statistics? How does the NTSB do aviation safety studies? How does OSHA report on occupation risks? Of course the government can do this. In fact in this very area there was big news over the summer that the NHTSA had opened an investigation into Tesla autopilot after finding a collection of just 13 accidents over six years where a vehicle on AP hit an emergency vehicle! If they can pick out needles from the haystack like that, they can surely run an analysis over FSD beta.

Look, if you're arguing that we need a unified system in place for reporting accidents and correctly tagging them to autonomous vehicle software stacks, then I'd tend to agree. But that's not an argument about Tesla safety, nor even with Tesla's compliance with existing regulation.

All I'm saying is that (1) my personal experience with this system as deployed is that it's quite safe, frankly safer than driving personally, (2) there is a ton of data out there being generated by all these cars, and (3) let's go find it instead of pursuing brand flamewars like this.
Because the reason C/C++ codebases are getting hacked is not primarily because they're written in C/C++, its because they were written a LONG time ago when security didn't matter so much, the entire industry was much less mature and it was probably way harder to code, and management at companies would probably never allocate any time to a non-issue like that.

Its just so completely uninformed and noob-ish to equate _tools_ to what people build with them. The language is not nearly as important as the programmer and the context in which the code was written. Its a very typical new-programmer thing to think language is all that matters, but most programmers with a few years experience understand how little it matters compared to everything else. You guys are basically like those old Christian missionaries who show up somewhere in Africa knowing nothing and insist the locals convert. Totally clueless..

I believe you're right, Remix has no such features. Ultimately Remix can be thought of as a compiler that eliminates a lot of the boilerplate for which we could already do perfectly well back in 2015 (ish) with React Router 2 and 3.

There's a bit more to it than that (mainly some magic related forms and data reloading), but if you were hand-rolling your own React SSR code back then, you'll find that the overall capabilities of Remix are somewhat similar -- just much less verbose.
> You look busy enough to qualify as working, giving you time to actually think.

This is so messed up - and yet so interesting as a direct result of that.

I've only ever considered the idea of "looking busy" in the sense of whether or not someone is trying to optimize for shirking actual mental engagement.

I never thought of how doing that can actually make room to think. But that's so logically obvious once you mush the two ideas together!

I say this is messed up because I can totally see this being both necessary and helpful in certain situations. Wow.
That sucks. Before buying, I read a lot of reports of key-repeating issues, but hopefully that will never be an issue for me because 1) I buy the 'Low Force edition' which uses different switches to the normal one, and 2) I spoke to a distributor and they told me it was pretty easy to fix that particular issue by cleaning the mechanism. Though I do actually have some New-in-Box spares that I snagged for really cheap, as an insurance policy!
I'm not. I know exactly what Youtube TV is and want it to fail. Was that not clear from my obvious desire to see TV die in general?
The term 'transmission line theory' (or even 'transmission' for that matter) doesn't appear to have been mentioned in the video at all[0], and this is a complaint that was also raised by Dave Jones[1] in his critique of sorts. The video is fundamentally about transmission line problems and the term is mentioned both in the description and the word document containing further analysis, but its omission does lend some credibility to the complaints in the parent comments that the video style is intentionally pedantic (it is a pure physics vs practical electrical engineering take after all) and presented as a controversy which comes off as a bit shallow as a result.

If one were to put on a tinfoil hat it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to imagine that the plan was to have a follow up video to settle the controversy with the gist of the video being about transmission line theory and concluding with a practical demonstration of the effect.

[0] I don't have the time to carefully watch a 15 minute video to verify this, and demonstrating a lack of evidence seems difficult, but the subtitles for the video can easily be downloaded with youtube-dl and then grepped or opened with a regular text editor. Note that these subtitles are manually written and not auto-generated by youtube, and while it's possible there's some differences in the script and what is said it seems unlikely.

Too often "no evidence" means "no evidence that I know of" which really means "I don't know". Doctors in particular use "no evidence" this way all the time because they are trained to show confidence in diagnosis when the truth is they often don't know and are just trying things to get some clues. If you suggest something they are not familiar with they'll often say "there's no evidence that works". You have to show them evidence to get them to try it. The evidence may exist, they just don't know about it.

Even when it is true that there is no evidence, that often just means no one has actually studied the problem. So "no evidence we can cure the common cold" really means "no one has actually tried to cure the common cold because we consider it too complex a problem so we've never tried". Now that the pandemic has forced a lot of scientists to actually try curing one coronavirus they are actually starting to think maybe they could cure the common cold and the flu and even have some drugs in clinical trials. Curing colds could mean combatting many viruses individually, but that doesn't seem as difficult as mapping the human genome. So what if there are 200 viruses that cause colds? The sooner you start curing them all the sooner colds will be gone. It basically just became dogma so you couldn't get grant funding for it. So another interpretation of "no evidence" is "we haven't tried".

In my understanding (from a french cultural context), asking people questions as part of a field study is not human subjects research. Ethical questions arise when you ask people to take specific actions in order to measure their reactions, not when you're asking about the status quo.
