I would love to see the "internal wiki" at MS that explains how to do this yourself. I have to imagine that there are employees internally who feel this way too and run their own "lightened" OS.
Not long ago in my new apartment after breaking up with a long time girlfriend I had an amazing experience while meditating. The odd thing was I never really meditated back then. Something just told me to do it. I was led on an internal journey that showed me some things about my self. One, don't turn away from uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Two, don't judge yourself. Three, the ego or this idea of myself is an illusion. It ended with my sense of self expanding out into infinity. I was not a body; I was infinite and an awesome wave of (I assume) serotonin like a big dose of E.
Since then I meditate often and just try to be completely open to my entire experience. I'm an indifferent witness as often as I can. "Bad" feelings have lost their edge. When I sat with the feeling I discovered there is nothing "bad" about it. It's just a different feeling in my experience. With this I have become lighter, freer, happier and more at peace with the experience just as it is, right here, right now.
I recommend you try observing yourself as if you are a third person. What do you think about, how do those thought make you feel, what do you do in reaction to uncomfortable or "bad" feelings? I think you will start to notice that it's all just thoughts, often silly, ridiculous thoughts about a future that will not happen. Memory too are just thoughts. They are not happening now and even if they were the judgments of them are just ideas that come from social conditioning. Good and bad, right and wrong are just opinions and they change over time and from person to person. Don't take them seriously. Its like trying to hold on to vapor as if it's something solid.
I have since learned from watching Rupert Spira videos on youtube that this is kinda like Atmananda Krishna Menon's Direct Path.
A lot of us here are science and engineer types. Think of this as like hacking your human experience or rooting your brain. Why be satisfied with little doses of happiness and satisfaction gotten by jumping thru social or cultural hoops. Happiness, peace and contentment are within us. Go get it for yourself.
That aligns with my experience. I currently live in South Florida, and fall almost in your bracket. Since 2019-2020 i started to read the bible and go to church (catholic), and now I’m workin g on my confirmation. In 2021 i went to a retreat where there were almost 100 people around the 18-35 bracket. I would say around half of them were going through a similar conversion as me.
I am a Practicing Stoic,

Morning routing is to spend about an hour reading texts and scholarly commentary while drinking my coffee. Then I journal, my morning journal entries are discussions with my inner daemon about how to handle the days events. Preparing myself and remembering what is and isn't in my control. Throughout the day I have reminders set to step back and examine what I am doing at that moment. This is usually coupled with one or more mental exercises to keep perspective.
In the evening before going to bed I sit back down with my journal and go over any major events from the day and examine them against my philosophical beliefs. Did I approach it correctly? What did I get wrong about it. When its all written down I close my journal and forgive myself for any missteps I might have made.

Hmm I've always been hesitant to self-diagnose stuff like that, partly because it feels like potentially trivializing others' experiences.

I basically see myself as a garden variety introvert. I suppose that in an informal sense, I might be further along the spectrum than the median person off the street, but then again I suspect the same is true of many other software engineers - especially HN readers.

Imagine if someone bought something for pickup from a store, never picked it up, and the store went out of business and liquidated. Did they ever really own it? I don’t know.

I don’t expect any guarantees from digital goods being stored for free in a digital warehouse, unfortunately many do. One doesn’t own the nebulous copy on the distributor’s server, they own whatever copies they downloaded.
Thank you! Yes at least getting some feedback from my applications now (and interviews) but now people seem shocked that I've been out of the job for 1+ years. I don't think people who haven't been on the job market in the last year or so fully understand how tough things are/were...
I'm a Non-denominational Christian. During my best of times I would wake up and read the bible first thing in the morning before doing any major activities. I would normally say two prayers in the morning. The first prayer would be asking for the wisdom and understanding to grasp what I'm reading and internalize the lessons. Thanking God that I have seen another day. Which depending on my spots in life has been harder or easier. The second prayer would be asking God to help me remember what I have read and for me to be able to use the lessons I have learned practically throughout my day. I would then pray thanking God about things I'm grateful for, asking for help in things I feel weak in, and praying for my prayer list towards the end. We have service on Sunday for 2 hours, bible talk once a month and a middle of the week service once a month.

Yesss! This is what I was hoping to find last time I clicked on an HN headline "transformers from scratch", which turned out to be about machine learning: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29280909

This is great. It gets into the flux density and iron loss calculations that affect the physical size of a transformer core, choosing the wire, and then exquisite detail of actually winding and finishing the thing.

It's not that simple. The video files are chopped up into pieces for streaming, so what you would download (assuming wget would handle the stream) are thousands of tiny files. You could reassemble them with ffmpeg, but first you'd need to decrypt them. It's the encryption that these leaked scripts take care of.
Well, if it's not disallowed in the T&Cs you need not ask for either... I guess that's the point being made.

Modern Tcl may be big, but it is not too big to embed. I know, because I embedded it into a Go system at a previous employer. Unfortunately, it is proprietary, so I may not point you to the repo, but it required remarkably little glue code.

I also evaluated Python and Lua. As others have noted, Python appears to be a right royal pain to embed. I actually had more experience with Lua prior to that project, but that experience leads me to believe that Lua is, generally, the wrong language.

Looking back on the project, I would not hesitate to do the same thing again, ideally as open source so that other Go projects can embed a scripting language. It got the job done, and did it well. Non-programmers on our team were able to write both configuration and logic successfully & productively, and apparently enjoyed the experience. Tcl itself ended up being a pleasure to use. While I personally would have enjoyed something like Embeddable Common Lisp, I think that would have been to much to ask of the rest of the team.

Interestingly, the four languages Lua, Python, Tcl and Lisp each can be said to take one idea and run with it. Lua is everything-is-a-hash-table (well, almost everything); Python is everything-is-an-object; Tcl is everything-is-a-string; and Lisp is everything-is-a-list (well, in theory: in practice it is really everything-is-an-object). I don’t know if this says anything deep about scripting languages, but it is at least interesting — right?

It's hard to say. MS changes the strategy all the time and there are so many SKUs it is hard to follow, at least for an outsider such as myself. I know there is a long-term release version that tends to recieve fewer updates and is considered more of an LTS/Stable release - but I think that there are also artificial limitations on this too as far as what it is capable of and how you can get a hold of it.

I don’t know why but for some reason I was hopeful to see unit tests in any of the repos. Searching “test” for that user doesn’t reveal any tests. :(

Even the digital property liberators/internet pirates don’t test their software. I feel like I’m on an island with a small population of test enthusiasts.
Why do people have to comment here to say 'I have none' ? Why not just find a more interesting thread?

I'm a follower of Yahweh and his Son Yeshuah, I don't consider myself Catholic or Protestant and believe both of those faiths (while honoring God in their own way, are full of the traditions of man). I left Institutional Christianity some years ago and with other like-minded saints gather wherever we feel like it to worship, pray, eat a meal together and share communion. We try to share our lives with each other as much as the western world allows (planning laws make creating real communities hard in Australia).

My wife and I pray daily together, we read the scriptures and talk about what they mean. We ask the Spirit of Yahweh for guidance and we follow what He tells us to do. We actively try to help people in the community who are struggling, through food or white goods or whatever is needed. Every Wednesday night we open our house to anyone who would like to come and cook a meal together, some times this can be 1-2 people, sometimes 50+.

I guess I'd say yes if you asked if I were a Christian however the term is so confused nowadays that it's not very useful, I prefer to say 'I am a follower of The Way'.
Ask HN: Is Your Child Lonely?
Hi hive, I'm doing a survey on the social experiences of preK-12th grade children in different learning environments (homeschool, school (public and private), remote school (public and private). I think there are a lot of misconceptions of what social experiences are like in different environments, but not a lot of good data on the topic. I'd really appreciate if any parents of PreK-12th grade kids could fill out my survey. For full transparency, I run a company that helps families interested in designing their child's education as a replacement or supplement to traditional school. So, I fully support homeschooling as an option for many families and have witnessed it to be very social. My plan for this research is to use it to inform families considering homeschooling about what their child's social life might look like. I may also release the data I collect to some media outlets. That said, I'm a teacher myself, I love research, and am obsessed with trying to maintain as much neutrality as possible and am doing my best to not bring my own biases to analyzing results. I also do not feel that homeschool is the best choice for everyone or that school is the best choice for everyone. Children thrive in different environments and there are a lot of factors in what makes one choice better for a child than another. Thanks very much for taking the time to help me learn more about this topic. The link is posted in the comments.
Here is the link to the survey. Thank you! https://forms.gle/VcjjnsKTS95nbNo59

Vaccination is used for prevention. Eating less is also prevention (or would you rather prefer "not eating a lot"?)... from getting obese. Once you are obese, eating less also could serve as a treatment; you lose weight.

Newlines are not significant in Lua. From Lua's point of view, there is no difference between

Yes, we are. Yjs has been very performant in both size and space. Automerge may be competitive now/soon, but we needed something that worked out of the box.

I don't think CRDTs are commonly used in video games, at least not yet. We're using data sync in this way for collaborative world editing. I think it will be much more common in the future as it reduces boilerplate API code and puts the focus on the UX (which we are definitely still working towards!).
Orthodox Jew. I pray three times a day. Morning takes about 20-25 minutes, afternoon is 5 minutes, and evening is 5-10 minutes.

I don't really think of it as a spiritual practice though, more of just a religious obligation.
I don't think I have ever felt the need for anything spiritual. I am also not religious.

My wife, son and I do the same. Happy solstice!

When possible, I try to see myself as part of nature. For example, making it clear to me and others that I'm an animal. I think this help me respect my surroundings more, puts me on the ground of reality. In comparison to the idea of "humans are above everything".
The problem is that we've given up our own knowledge and abilities as consumers to complete fucking snakes as people,

and they regularly abandon their duties to keep us safe, with varying degrees of recompense/Justice actually being served when the consumer gets screwed (less every year, from what I can see).

At least with SuperNewFastDeFi (vs Coinbase), I know I'm using a beta and could get screwed, as opposed to my current "stable, traditional financial institution" which just recently turned off everyone's 2FA during an infra migration, and acted like that's totally okay.

I know my home loan etc won't be T-shirt cannon'd off to even worse snakes as soon as I've left the parking lot.

Many forms of security and agency improvements this shift is bringing to the forefront now, and this community, for whatever reasons, sleeps on.
I remember this. I lost it ... No, I put it away in a thousand small abandonments. Reading this woke me up to the sheer extent of what I've lost. I was once a kinder, happier man.

Thank you.

Don't lose this.
This isn't a very good article. First of all, this has to be the most rehashed curiosa topic about Lisp, ever. Secondly, "keeping in touch with tradition" isn't a shallow thing you do for fun---it is both about identity and about the ability to read and reuse code, even though it is decades old. And thirdly, the reason you keep car and cdr isn't only about tradition, but also about the ability to quickly reach into nested lists:

(cdaddr '(1 (2 (3 4 (5) (6 7) 8) 9) (10 1 3) 3))
=> (1 3)

Without these oldies, you would have to write several combinations of first, second etc. and rest, or some combination of first/rest and nth n list.

I loved Raised by Wolves as well, especially how they modded the religious’ outfits after the crusaders.

HBO has other shows such as His Dark Materials and The Nevers that are good too. They certainly aren’t afraid to be anti-(organised)religion despite being from US.

Does Ubisoft have to honor that Blockchain though by providing you services in perpetuity?

They might if they contractually agreed to honor it. But even if they were inclined to offer such licenses (lets say consumers everywhere demanded it), there's not many meaningful enforcement advantages of shoving NFTs in the mix.

As a consumer such a contract could (including transferability) could exist without an NFT, and be just as enforced by the (centralized) judicial system or consumers voting with their feet.
Perhaps instead of any actual programming language you could use the pseudocode[1] used in scientific (comp-sci) papers. It should be understandable for longer than any current language.

Yes! Your experience is closest to mine. I tried Sam Harris's meditation, Joseph Goldstein's insight meditation, and came across "The Headless Path". This led to multiple moments where my consciousness expanded to fill it's container, in this case my old apartment, or a bar where I was playing music, or a shore next to a lake. It's almost like I became a 3D VR panorama of what I could sense, my center fell away and I fully absorbed the hundreds of sensations as one giant sphere.

In this style, douglas Hardings Headless Path, you're attempting to realize that in some sense, "you" are not in your head. That's where we "feel" like we're centered, mostly because our eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are there. But even in reality, we can look for evidence of our head and find we don't have one. All we see is a dark void behind our nose. And behind that, we can feel what, our headache or sinuses, or the back of our head. But how are these "behind" our eyes? Aren't they just in a big cloud of sensation, too? And if we open our eyes, and let our gaze stretch and expand very widely, we might literally become absorbed into our surroundings, we'll feel like the world, not just a head.

Really amazing feelings. I encourage folks try insight, mindfulness, and headless path meditation.
I don't know what you mean by "way too much stuff", it's mostly use what you want. It's easy enough to disable any features you don't want with their sdk config stuff

> How do you measure efficacy of a school? Well, test results... which people from this kind of background will not have good ones.

If you are going to test a school, your tests must be differential. If you don't test at the beginning and end of the course, you'll only measure noise.
I agree. It speaks to the powerful draw of a (comparatively) affluent user base that people put up with it. Apple's remarkably hostile in their entire ecosystem. I wrote a web page which for some reason doesn't work in Safari. I spent an hour investigating, but since Apple won't even let me run their browser without spending thousands on hardware it's just not worth it to me to bother looking into it. Closed as won't fix, tell your OEM to be less of a pain.
Not the parent, but I wrote a little bit about this here: https://www.jonnor.com/2017/03/host-based-simulation-for-emb...

The key thing is to make the majority of the code portable enough to run on a PC. I find the best way to do that is to keep things data-oriented, using Plain Old Data type data structures and pure functions as much as possible. Alternative view: isolate out any device-specific pieces, like I/O into as small and simple pieces as possible. When one takes this mindset one realizes that even things that are considered as "device specific", like device drivers usually have a lot of logic that can actually be separate from the I/O. And by having a swappable I/O backend (say for I2C) one can actually test the vast majority of this logic on a computer.
One should also have an implementation of the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) that is "host", allowing to run on a PC, potentially with virtual inputs and outputs. This allows to run essentially all of the firmware on a PC. If one uses a embedded-friendly test framework, like Unity, then one can also run the same tests that is used on the PC on the device - to make sure that there is no difference when ran on host vs device.

Unfortunately, the code from embedded device vendors is rarely amenable to this, so that code can end up as "untestable" under this scheme. For them portability" is only considered between their own hardware devices, not to a computer. Then one has to trust that they have done their own QA. Which is usually not that great - looking at you ST HAL....
