Some of these are habits I do even as a Christian-turned-atheist. I've read that gratitude is good for you, and I always want to be a better person, and prayer has been a good way of thinking about these things habitually, even if I'm not praying towards anyone/anything in particular.
> why do you need a college degree just to get a basic entry level job with a career path.

The two options here are that either all the businesses using college degrees as a signal are wrong and they could be saving a lot of money by hiring non college educated applicants for slightly less pay and building them up.

OR college education is a useful signal and so businesses are willing to pay a higher price for it.

If the prior were true, then I would assume a business would have developed already to take advantage of the arbitrage opportunity. It is not a novel or less known idea.
Ask HN: Please recommend a router without need for a cloud account
Hi friends,

I'm shopping a router and from what I read in the reviews, ALL mid-end family routers (those between $40 and $100) that I see need a cloud account to access the management page. I'm wondering if there is anything that does not need a cloud account? Thanks~~
Yeah, it mentions it in the form of:

> sometimes accompanied by abnormal findings on brain MRI.

...but no, I mean... what are those abnormalities?
I find this trend of naming software ideas after common words really quite annoying (transformers, lenses, optics etc.)...
I'm a somewhat newly converted protestant, no specific label except born-again. I pray in the morning and before bed, and try to read the Bible for 15-30 minutes a day. I normally pray silently on my knees, but I learned the Lord's Prayer in koine greek and like to say that out loud. I also attend a Sunday service. I'm friendly with some local evangelists and will sometimes hang out with them if I see them, just to fellowship with them and hand out new testaments. When I have time I try to read books by Christian thinkers, but only have a few read so far, mostly by CS Lewis and Tozer. John Wesley's sermons (available for free online) are also really spiritually valuable to me.
Physically yes, optically no. I don't know exactly how the hardware does it, but objects at a given virtual distance are at that focal distance, too. (Without the illusion of depth, there'd be no immersion...) If that's further than your uncorrected vision can focus, then you need correction to prevent those objects looking blurry, just as you would in real life.

It depends somewhat on what you're doing whether this poses a significant problem, I suppose, but I have found the experience more enjoyable for being able to see it without having to fuss with fitting my glasses under the headset.
You’re conflating two different things here: the user next owned the games, they owned a license to the games that Ubisoft could (and did) revoke.

NFTs aren’t magic. The issue here isn’t proving ownership, it’s that the thing that was owned (a license) is not the thing people really want to own (the game). I can deploy an NFT that replicates the current system 100%
Only after they get a breakthrough infection, which is still presumably less likely when vaccinated. That still works very nicely with the bulletproof vest analogy.
Not in this case. The covid vaccines just turned the vaccinated into asymptomatic delta superspreaders. There was no likely endgame where we reach herd immunity with the current vaccines.
The median income in NL is barely 30k, and savings are very low. An average loan of 15k is quite expensive for most.

I think the worst part is that most of the loan is used to pay rent - so it’s essentially tax-payer funded wealth transfer to real estate.
I'm curious as to how Windows 10 runs that poorly for you, or what to you counts as an "absolute dog".

I've got a laptop that's only a CPU generation younger than yours, and Windows 10 for general use works okay for me. I don't see a great overall difference in performance when compared to Gnome on Linux. Do you use a lightweight desktop or something on Linux?

(FWIW, I run Fedora for the majority of the time, and I've been using mostly Linux for nearly 20 years, at times exclusively, so this isn't Windows advocacy.)
Even though I’m not going to use Windows 2000 again, this was an interesting read.

On a related note: I have an old scanner that I use about once every year. Drivers max out on XP support, so I installed Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs in a VM, which is a stripped down Windows XP. Perhaps someone in the W2k crowd would be happy with WinFLP as an alternative.
> I generally hate getting the government involved in things

The general idea behind a protection racket is that once you paid the goons, they protect you against aggression, from themselves, and others.
they should also define what they mean by "using the internet", 50% of my household doesn't use internet, both kids under 6 unless you mean they click button on remote to launch Youtube where I play them something
> But Homework is a necessary part of education.

Is it though? Sounds like it was actually exclusionary in your case.

I believe that Finland has no homework and yet has some of the highest PISA scores.
Why do companies do anything in the consumers interest? Competition.

You don't see it now, but once many games allow you to resell the skins or game itself, and gamers get used to that, publishers that don't allow it will look evil.

Coordination between many companies is an exceptionally difficult problem without blockchains. This is what NFTs solve in a simple way - a neutral platform that every party can easily integrate with knowing the rules, API and data integrity won't change.

Arguably, if you've contracted an anonymous party to custody your funds, there's not a huge implication of responsibility there, besides personal code.
Never had a new employer request a former employer’s contract either. That sounds really unusual.

I don’t understand why star link is country bound. Here in the eu you can’t take your starlink equipment with you when you travel to another eu country. It just won’t work. Even if it’s a neighboring country. And even when starlink is offered in said country. You need a country specific kit.

This is the only reason I didn’t get a starlink subscription. Seems like a bullshit limitation. Reminds me kinda of Tesla stink.
And according to the article they got pushback, said it was a glitch (his got deleted after a year of inactivity, they claim it's supposed to be four years, and in part to comply with data privacy laws, I'm guessing in the UK as theirs are pretty stringent), and also said they're going to more or less undo it in this instance, meanwhile Steam wasted no time announcing they don't delete inactive accounts ever, gaining some free brownie points and a decent number of people will probably avoid their store in the future so as not to risk this happening.

So yeah, I maintain my point that if they offer NFTs, allow owners to sell them to other people (which is kind of the point of NFTs), and then decide certain instances of NFTs don't have to be honored because they banned that person, they're going to get enough articles like this that they'll feel pressure to walk back such an action.
XD

I'm still going nowhere, but at least I enjoy the views on the way.
"Protect and serve" (the incumbent power structures, not arbitrary citizens)
It is nice small, so Lua even ran on Playstation 3 SPU!

We used to ship lua binaries for the premake build system.

For me, the indexed from 1 rather than 0 is a big turn off.

Roblox has the mlua fork, with increased performance and added type annotations: https://github.com/Roblox/luau
I have a hard time understanding what possessed them to create Windows 11.

From my perspective it appears to be an OS designed by MBAs with no understanding of how software is designed or refactored. It very much feels like there was heavy handed too down instructions without any input taken from those building.
> My main philosophical gripe is that it doesn't seem to really matter what your major is. "Oh, you got a bachelors in Biology? Well, I guess that's fine. Come work at my tech company in a way that is completely unrelated to Biology." In this particular situation, it seems like the only purpose of college is to create arbitrary classist hurdles for poor people to jump through.

In the U.S., this is due to the fact that employers practically may not use proficiency exams; since they are prevented from testing for actual proficiency, they must use a proxy, and a college degree is a decent proxy for 'reasonably educated enough, exposed to enough general knowledge, knows how to function in a group.'

I don't think that class really enters into it.

> the fact that educational debt in America can never be voided through bankruptcy seems like a conscious systemic decision to create debt slaves.

More that without the inability to discharge it in bankruptcy interest rates for student loans would need to be sky-high: the smart move for anyone graduating at 22 would be to immediately declare bankruptcy when all he would have is debt and no assets.

You may have missed the years and years of improvement made since it was launched.
> The modern "progressive" thought-process is to feel guilty about having a good education.

This is what happens when there is a lack of religion and belief in God. In Islam, we know we're going to be asked about the blessings that were bestowed on us, no matter how small, so it's always in the back of our mind that we should be grateful to God, and to use those blessings in the ways of good, not evil.
Yeah, and the OP's point is that refusing to participate is self defeating. If you see a bad system, you should hack it, not take the hit.

And by all means, keep complaining and if you have some power, use it to fix the system. But don't incentive people to act in self-defeating ways.
You can also write rust ( or go, or write in any other language that allows you to expose a C ABI ) and make a Lua module. This solves a number of the different, bad and ugly issues in my opinion. For example, I think using rust’s chrono or unicode_segmentation library makes life so much easier than having to deal with that in Lua. Neovim embeds lua 5.1 jit, and it’s possible to write plugins in rust for neovim using this mechanism.

For any one that knows what I’m talking about it should be obvious how to do this. If not, I wrote about this more here, in case you are interested:

Hi HN,

I submitted this as I think it's interesting to many given that there's a criticial mindset towards SPA-ifying every web app.

I started svg-line-chart because I wanted to give my users the best possible experience on any network, device anywhere in the world.

The website this library is used is cached everywhere using Cloudflare. It's PageSpeed Score is 100 and I believe that it has become a competitive edge that my website is fast and just loads. I don't have to download the data, I don't have to load JavaScript and probably SVG rendering is even accelerated using the graphics card (not sure).

It has a small drawback, which is that it's non interactive. But for now that's been ok.

If I had the time, I'd rebuild whatever is possible from d3js in svg!
I believe this is also the algorithm included in the TI-83 (plus) manual: https://www.manualowl.com/m/Texas%20Instruments/TI-83-Plus/M...

I remember sitting on the floor of our living room programming this in character by character on that TI keyboard. It's the first BASIC program I ever wrote. Everything before that was js and html.
Both commenters have account created today and are positive about crypto on HN? :) Nice try
I reread my comment but I'm not sure how you leaped there. I said morality need not be tied to ritual.

Religions and morality are often disjoint, simply due to Euthyphro's dilemma and how that plays out in practice. Divine command theory externalizes responsibility for behavior and thus promotes and excuses immoral action (meaning many religion's resolution to the dilemma puts them into a commitment to behaving immorally).
The problem isn't getting the media, the problem is the license.

If you get Windows and MS has blocked your key, it doesn't matter that you own the key: Windows will talk to their server and the server will say "that's not a valid license I don't care who owns it"

Likewise, it doesn't matter where you get a game from, unless you break the DCMA and modify the binary, DRM enabled games will phone home to the "game service provider" to verify your license.

It's been a long time since games locally verified licenses, that's why you don't see keygens and also why they all require launchers to function

-

If they take down the servers or block you specifically, proof of ownership does literally nothing...
Had something like that reading Herman Hesse as teenager. I learnt that I don't need to be or feel "good", necessarily. What you describe fits a lot what I experienced then. I don't give much importance to that but I think that plays a big role on what I have become. I point at the truth (as good as I can) and people think I am judgemental but I am absolutely not because I don't care about good or bad, generally.

Then I heard Jordan Peterson, I think, pointing out that all emotions are useful. They are there because they have an evolutive advantage. For example the feeling of winning makes you play more, and losing makes you step back at some point and observe what happened (you cannot take it out of your head easily).

For those that want the same experience without meditating :)
What I find interesting is how Peter builds bottom up solutions using low level utilities. This is how I have always coded in Lisp languages, but when I use Python I tend to write little monoliths. Since I now have to use Python for most of my work (deep learning), I should change the way I use Python. Reading his code is educational.

Peter and I each wrote a Common Lisp book about 25 years ago and a few years after that we had lunch and I was into Lisp and he had transitioned to the practicality of Python. I have a serious bias in favor of Lisp languages that probably has not served me very well. I once had a short talk with Alexis Ohanian about how he and his partner Steve had to convert Reddit from Common Lisp to Python, I think that he described the situation as something like “the Lisp version kept falling down.”

And Dropbox could be replicated with a couple of servers and rsync...

There's a lot more complexity to building a global game/item reselling marketplace than proving ownership once.

NFTs give a consistent, 100% uptime, permissionless, platform where the APIs never change and participants don't get bored and turn off their "xml signing server" because it's not profitable any more.
Can’t you just record the screen or is there something preventing it?
try a normal VPN then? I hope you are aware that bittorrent is bad for Tor, maybe they are helping you.

when you get in, you need to seed something, if you are worried about torrent activity on your network, try to seed something benign like a linux distribution.
I did that and the response was

I don't think there is a need to bring up "semantics" here, and the only reasonably defined semantics that I know for the term "almost all" would be from set theory where that is a useless term without an infinite set to measure against.

Common sense anyway would suggest that "almost every" is distinct from "many, but also many not", and the latter is what I think would be a better fit here.

The intention behind my comment (and I thought it was clear without any "semantics" discussion required) was to show that there is no need for the POSIX layer to be included as part of ISO C. POSIX is just a "platform layer" (for all I know), meaning that it is much closer to a "library" than a "runtime". I don't see a need to bundle it tightly with the language. Heck, why did I even bring up Windows as a counterexample, when there are probably a lot of more-or-less ISO C conforming compilers for microcontroller platforms that could never support POSIX.
Using PostgreSQL and SQL to Randomly Sample Data
When it was still on-location, many people focussed on interacting with other folks, having a drink (see: Tschunk) rather than stand in line to get into one of the Leipzig trade fair halls. Think of it as a big makerspace (Back in Hamburg, both activities were generally intermingled, due to that location being more approachable for such a "living room" atmosphere)

US vaccination rate is not great, and will be patchy (some places quite well vaccinated, some well below average).

Yes. My biggest irritation with the show is that literally the entire point of the books, and the reason to read them at all, is the central, intriguing idea of psychohistory and the Seldon plan. These ideas are front and center in the books and literally inform every scene but in the show they are almost an afterthought. The result is that the show feels nothing like the books, at all. Frustrating. Someone will have to remake this show again and hopefully do better at capturing the ideas and feeling of the books.

Because your rule will be implemented by people applying the rule to their own beliefs. And everyone thinks their own beliefs are correct.
That's why they now embed displays with verification modules. Basically whole stack from server to your display is a giant chain verifying you are not doing what they don't want you to do.
I also miss the spirituality side. I miss rituals for milestones with my kids a lot. Can you provide some references?
This is why young people should save / invest / risk up in their late 20's and early 30's. Be in a position where you don't really have to work in your 50's or at least maintain the energy to pivot when you realize you are no longer as valuable as you thought. I've already started to feel this at 28.
That would be the opposite of clarifying or helpful.
Also God letting Satan ruin Job's life (a canonically righteous man) over a bet on whether God was as awesome as He claimed. When God shows up in the last act to rebuke Job's friends for complaining about His - again, canonically unjust treatment of Job, His reply is an extended monologue about how awesome He is.

... although to be fair, Job 38 is one of the most epic parts of the Bible, hands down. When YHWH goes in, He goes in.

Also God hardening Pharoah's heart when he already wanted to let the Israelites go, in order to complete the plagues and flex on Egypt and its gods. Said plagues ended, remember, with the first Passover event and the murder of every firstborn child and animal in Egypt.

And Sodom and Gomorrah, particularly the part where God and Abraham haggle over the lower bound of righteous people it takes to avoid genocide. This is apparently at least ten.

... speaking of which, that time God commands Ezekiel to lie on his side and eat bread baked over human shit for over a year. Ezekiel objects, because the latter would be against God's own law (while the former is just sadistic torture,) and God says fine, he can use cow shit instead, just get on with it.

And the Tower of Babel. God sees that humanity united and speaking a single language is capable of anything as they try to build a tower that reaches the heavens, so He curses humanity with multiple languages to confuse them and impede human progress. This was a particular dick move on God's part, and we're probably lucky Heaven was moved somewhere less easily accessible before we learned how to build skyscrapers or go into space.

And Jesus cursing a fig tree for not bearing fruit out of season. Not as much death and suffering as in the other cases but still petty AF for a guy who can literally create food from nothing.

In computer chess, they're already changing the opening position in order to get more decisive games. I think that would be a better approach to saving classical chess than changing the winning conditions.

The opening theory of the past wouldn't work with different winning conditions anyway.
> So if I browse a website and get distracted by all the ads, it is my own fault?

At a certain point, yes - if the ad doesn’t take a major portion of your screen and is non-interactive. You are not a victim - there are reasonable boundaries of being “annoyed”.

> This has a social function, its a two way benefit. Advertising isn't. Its a one-way communication.

Not really. You could’ve easily claimed “I don’t GAF who you are and don’t say Hi to me”. The one-sidedness is an arbitrary constraint you’ve put to try to reject this scenario - it should have no bearing on the annoyingness of the sound waves.
That's what Widevine prevents: It ensures the decrypted video is only available to proprietary devices and software which agree not to help you rip the video.

New Deep Learning Model May Accelerate the Process of Discovering New Medicines
I asked myself the same question and snooped around for a few weeks a while ago. Didn't find anything that is a lot cheaper with the same quality. I even searched Aliexpress and the spin-offs are not really cheaper enough to justify the potential degradation of quality (I'm not saying they are of poor quality, just that I don't know).

I think Raspberry Pi enjoys from economies of scale so much that it doesn't even has boxing day deals. It's really cheap enough considering a 4GB Pi4 module only costs $72.95 in CAD. If you want there are clearance sales on pishop.ca:

https://www.pishop.ca/product-category/clearance/?sort=price...

Just a note that those clearance get cleared really quickly. I'm also thinking about getting a few second-hand Pi for a cluster I'm trying to build (which can cut down the cost further), but the thing is it's difficult to find reliable used Pi in local market.

My thought is that the decryption and decompression are interlinked.

So while it’s relatively easy to get the raw stream, if you want to re-distribute it, you’ll have to compress it again.

With these leaks, you can get the compressed and decrypted files and re-distribute without any added compression loss.

Maybe I’m wrong, but it’s the only thing that makes sense to me.
Yes, but the point is that they started with wealth. Multiplying 1 mil to 1 billion is more reasonable possible than 1k to 1 mil.

Simply because if you've such wealth already you're most likely in a position to take risks, etc.
