4 of my friends who smoked 1-2 packs/day were able to transition to smoking alternatives, 2 went to nicotine pills, 4 Mg from Walmart, stayed on 2-3 of those/day from the morning. The other 2 went to suck-in inhalers. None of them went to visible cloud of smoke emitters.
They all eliminated their prior shortness of breath problem, when biking/jogging.
I never ever smoked, but I find the 4 Mg pills are good for appetite suppression when I occasionally pork-up - mainly in winter these days as Covid closed the gyms and weather makes some days times of no biking.
I used to be a bike courier in Toronto back in the 60's - could be 200+ miles/day - fits and starts type of riding, lots slower on weekends. All manner of bikes, mainly fixies (to non bikers = a fixed sprocket = no freewheel no gear changes, but some had Sturmey-Archer hubs they could change but they often were troublesome) Toronto is flat for most document work, so a fixie was fine and if you went up the Avenue road hill, you could quickly use a lower gear freewheel on the other side -(if you rotated to drive the other axle) Mostly delivering documents and small packages (food was not yet a thing). The midnight courier bike race is amazing, 100-200 bikers on an after 12 PM bike race on city streets - I do not know if it still runs - used to be every few months in the summer time. The police hated it as bikers stopped on no lights and the light traffic after 12 PM was the only saving aspect. There were so many back lanes etc in Toronto where the police cars could not go that they only grabbed people if there was a multi bike crash (often happened at the start) Quite the life and society, many are hard riders/drinkers/smokers/druggies, but the last 3 tend to get weeded out. Most leave in their 20's, got real jobs, I went to college = engineering, and it was a summer job after that - all cash based. One guy, Greg, was a real iron man - went to Australia with GF when he was 55 years old about 10 years ago and we lost contact, but he rode hard until he left.
I am 82 now, still bike a lot - mainly in warmer times. my 200 mile days are gone - my knees are worn out and limit my extreme behaviour. I meandered - sorry, but it was a true reminiscence.

It depends on the ToS of the service you are using at discord the "Your Content" part is pretty specific.
I don't think your criticism is valid. Children often play games that have rules. Comparing candyland or soccer or "block game we inevented for this experiment" to different ways of programming a loop misses the point.

Learning more is on my to do list. To noob me, the descriptions remind me of Eiffel's constraints (asserts, pre/post-conditions). And maybe user defined typedefs, like constraining dayOfWeek to values 0..6, a bit like enums.
This is totally absurd. Of cause it has long therm effects whether these effects are declared as "harm" or not is subjective and whether they can be "legally" associated to puberty blockers is p much irrelevant.
It obviously has long term side effects and some are potentially unwanted and permanent.

And declaring everyone who disagrees with you as anti-trans who want to take people rights away and what not, make you the intolerant, hate-drive person you seem to see in others.
There’s already an app called Airalo that lets you buy eSIMs in different countries. You don’t have to visit a shop to get a SIM which is better because in many countries the SIM shops will rip tourists off and/or there will be a language barrier issue.
I've found running 4K @ 2x/200% scaling "retina" to be the best price/performance option right now. 5K displays are nowhere to be seen and 6K/8K have absurd prices.

My dream monitor would be a dual-5k super-ultrawide, even at 60Hz. That's at least 5 years away if not 10.

I would hate to work with a person who subscribes to these strategies. Someone who can't form their own opinion and looks for the easy way out above all else.

Suddenly anyone in the future with the ability for critical thinking and problem solving beyond "do they have an app for that?" is going to inherit the Earth.
Time can in fact be exchanged. For example, jail -- some action is traded for a timeout from society. Also, learning is a time-based process to replace entropy with reason, increasing resources from scarcity.
Imei can be changed on some phones, and are not secure. The sim card needs to be logged to from the phone (usin PIN for uset-level login), contains non readable secrets and provides a completely separate execution environment with its own memory and cpu.
> Ian Smith is painted as a racist

Ian Smith (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Smith) was a racist. He let a white supremacists government to UDI and civil war because he believed that black people were incapable of self-government. It doesn't get much more obviously racist than that.
Not exactly opening the door, but the 2002 book “Inside Delta Force” by Eric L. Haney spends some time describing the problems of entering a room. Not joking.

I support some form of FOSS guilds, in moderation; that is, there is knowledge that is documented but not necessarily full, complete tutorial and discussion casually provided. Obviously many companies do this explicitly themselves now with "community documentation" or "public core" and then many other media assets that are not shared widely. This is natural and obvious, with caveats that fairness is inherently difficult, and you can't please everyone. Security practice is certainly the sort of world where that guild behavior can go badly, and many will complain, sometimes falsely. So it goes in the real world.

Corporate and government users have been free-riding FOSS to ridiculous levels, in my view, and I welcome some way that actual practitioners can self-organize and at least survive. As opposed to say, divorce, substance abuse and what amounts to financial suicide, which I have seen happen to real people with good intentions and bright minds.
It's ironic given that you're doing exactly that.
Have you tried reporting this to Meta’s security team and copying your state’s attorney general? Sounds like the CFAA would apply. You may not win, but making noise may help, and if it’s an insider they might be fired if Meta knows the legal apparatus is notified.

On the other hand Signal has made a lot of questionable choices (such as adding a crypto payment that was just a money grab) that it has made me lost trust in the team and their motives. I no longer trust their build images and even if you build your own you have no idea what software the person you're talking to is running.
> The right thing to do is get yourself and your loved ones the hell out of Telegram as soon as possible; Signal is your best bet here. Cwtch/Briar if you need to also protect metadata.

No, this is not the right move. It's engaging with the ecosystem of messaging products balancing ease of use, ethics of the business and people behind it, and your own threat profile. Most will never be under threat of a state actor that necessitates getting their friends and family "the hell out of Telegram as soon as possible".

I also use Matrix but personally speaking I find Moxie Marlinspike a deeply unethical person who will gleefully slander the competition including up to suing them in his quest for supremacy. So I don't touch Signal because on my tripod of interests to balance, I don't want to go anywhere near his ethics.

Use Signal or Session or Element or Telegram but stop telling people not to use a thing because you believe E2EE is the next Jesus Christ. Only sith deal in absolutes.

This happens all the time, there is no recourse. Instagram employees are constantly taking usernames for themselves.
I doubt this. Apple could charge an activation fee with a normal SIM already and yet they don’t. And any money gained from this would be insignificant to their other revenue streams. People don’t change SIMs that often
How does that work? Does OSM verify who emergency services employees are? Or is the item owned by an account of an employee of the emergency services?

It seems like this data should be coming directly from some government database.
"Satellite" imagery on Google Maps is a misnomer, and when it launched there was a big disagreement on the name that got brought all the way to Larry and Sergey. At the end of the meeting one of them said "call it Bird Mode", but the devs ignored that and stuck with "satellite" because they though bird mode was silly.

Understood, and that makes sense.
> Are there places out there for weirdos like me?

I think the discourse is heavily biased towards pro-remote. We've been working from offices for years, so the pro-remote crowd has been vocal for a while, whereas most pro-office people are only just beginning to realize that they even prefer an office, let alone how much.

But so basically I think it's a completely false notion that preferring remote work is the norm. That sense comes purely from noticing percent of talking.

FWIW I'd generally described myself as pretty introverted, in the sense of finding that social interaction is draining, but I'm considering moving across the country to be closer to my teammates.
Ask HN: Why dont operating systems make sounds anymore

At least according to their own accounting, movies lose otherwise hilarious amounts of money all the time and they seem to still exist somehow.

"Piracy", which in reality is probably better called "online jaywalking" as it, too, is a made up faux-pas created so as to allow a couple soulless drones to make more money, hasn't to date represented an obstacle to content creation, they still happily churn products all the time, so I don't see any reason to think it will become an existential threat to the studio suits any time soon.

And maybe it should. Which is kind of core to the whole debate; is it actually good to anyone in any way to have a business based around forbidding free access to easily duplicable cultural products? Should such a thing even be allowed to thrive?
Unfortunately, I need cuda (for now)
Or even if they did build the software, anything running on hardware they don’t have a similar level of knowledge about. Which good luck with that.

Either they blend in enough to not get any attention, or don’t seem “dangerous” enough in the sense they are likely to get anywhere, or don’t use any technology more complicated than a piece of paper and a #2 pencil.

The last one was what osama bin laden was doing, and they still found him - it just took awhile.

As long as the folks being targeted are legitimately out to do harm against innocents, these capabilities are ‘ok’ (scare quotes intentional here).

> Some of the code I came across while searching for an RGB > HSL solution

> But the calculation for converting sRGB colors to HSL

I don’t know whether you’re aware, but RGB and sRGB are different things. sRGB is device-independent, RGB is device-dependent. Depending on what the values in the RGB you have mean, that may or may not involve ‘not pleasant’ code.

(Color is one of the items on the long list of things to try to avoid when programming. A few of the other items on that list are Unicode, dates and times, multi-threading and floating point. All have standards that aren’t pleasant, but also the most pleasant we have available)

Yes obviosly, as any smoker that was into vaping could and did tell you. I had the chance to follow the whole development of vaping from a niche scene to an industry and it really has been eye opening. How news and studies were deployed offensively to spread FUD and then regulated just enough that all the value created by innovators and communities could be captured by the big tobacco companies.
Even after all the improvements the shuttle was less safe than Soyuz or Crew Dragon and it was ridiculously expensive.
I agree that making a distinction like "Sub-Saharan" is often unhelpful (like it would be to divide European history entirely by the Alps, say). I think some of this may be quibbling over terms, but my impression is that the Timbuktu manuscripts are all written with Arabic orthography, but in several languages (much like we're happily using the Roman alphabet here!) There are clearly multiple other indigenous scripts native to Africa[1]. Axum and Lalibela are remarkable architecturally, and Timbuktu itself certainly has multi-storied buildings[2].

Only because they're not located in the "$200k+ starting" job market. If they move to SF then they're immediately worth that much.

I currently pay a flat 25 %, but depending on your situation the effective tax rate can be up to 47 %.

I don't have the statistics, but I guess the average senior dev in the private sector would get around $75-85k in Norway and a little bit less in Sweden.
I would say proliferation resistance is nearly completely irrelevant.

There are hundred of weaponizable reactors in not really good places of the world. In case of the next big war, nobody will ask IAEA for permission to build the nuke.

You automate the solved, so you can focus on the unsolved. The unspoken conclusion to that. It's how humanity progresses.

> DRM is, IMO, and industrial policy […] Negotiating the leverage party type X has over Y is always a key feature of such policies.

I like this take from a high level because it’s true. But, DRM is also an industrial technical attempt to enforce copyrights, not primarily against an industrial party, but primarily against consumers. Copyright law itself is a ‘rights management’ system, it just isn’t targeted at digital assets, and the truth is that copyright law doesn’t come with built-in or automatic enforcement, and a large number of consumers and businesses are perfectly content to ignore the law and consume/copy/distribute without permission or payment.

Let’s momentarily ignore the fact that a: many DRM implementations overstep copyright and prevent some kinds of consumption that are legal under copyright law, and b: many DRM implementations are technically bad and make some kinds of legal and legitimate consumption difficult, annoying or inconvenient.

It doesn’t seem like the author’s claim is correct or justified that DRM gives content creators leverage over playback device manufacturers. Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but it seems like the claim is backwards and inside-out.

DRM is a symptom of the existing leverage, it isn’t the cause. DVD player makers reluctantly put DRM in because they’ve been asked/forced to, because the MPAA and licensing groups already have leverage, not because DRM itself is bestowing more leverage. The very control and leverage that content makers want over playback manufacturers is the ability to force them to implement DRM!
Yeah, that struck me as a bit of an odd repeated phrase. I think they mean that these companies don't have anyone employed specifically to contribute to the project. But that's only one of many ways a company might contribute to a project...
double-checked and L3 was actually also there in P4 in 2003 ; and P4 itself was in the works since 1998. For me that's closer to late 90s (which is also what I referred to) than today, that's almost as many years as there were between the two world wars...
ofc they could but for what benefit to them?
Worth less and worthless are two very different things.
I suggest looking at more traditional work environments that hire tech roles such as banking, they’re conservative and more likely to be pro-office. I have a friend who works on the C# UI of a coffee machine for Costa Coffee in the UK and that’s an in-person role because they need to interface with hardware.
There is a big part of gen Z that is about working hard and grinding it out, but to grind it out on the right shit. Grind smart and hard, not just hard!
Perhaps I'm definitionally-challenged, but none of the skills listed strike me as "hard" skills. I see a hard skill as being one for which a person receives domain-specific training, e.g. CS major at $SCHOOL learning to program in Rust. In contrast, the soft skills are those obtained in the process of achieving the hard skills, e.g. aforementioned CS major developing teamwork and time management skills while working on a group project.

In this vein, none of the skills listed in this article (grant-writing, data analysis, information synthesis, data presentation) are domain-specific.

> I find it super interesting that people don't see a gradient here.

People tend to divide rules into 2 buckets: Ones that are inviolable and ones that are silly. It's like the old joke that "everyone who drives slower than me is an idiot, and everyone who drives faster is a maniac."

In tight-knit homogeneous societies, this leads to a set of "unwritten rules," but in less well-connected or less homogeneous societies, this leads to quite a bit of friction and people harassing each other. My friend is a cop and he gets called to a lot of apartment complexes where there are two cultures abutting each other (e.g. Mexicano and non-hispanic) and it's just both sides calling the cops on each other (in his estimation) not out of racism, but because they disagree on the unwritten rules. Then as each side becomes more convinced of their moral superiority (because we obey all the important rules), the arguments become more and more petty and ticky-tacky.
So, in other words, they have no idea about what's going on. I'm not sure whether that's good or bad.

> But you know what? At the end of the day I don't care where someone works

I think this is the most pragmatic way forward.

Given my own company, I suspect that there are about 10-25% of tech that want to work fully remote. That is, never work in the office again, save for specific times (internal conferences, and the like) equally there are 10-25% who hate working remotely and want to be in the work office.

The rest are either ambivalent or want something truely (ie 1-3 days a week, but with the autonomy to choose)

However for that to work, there needs to be a revolution in how we share knowledge, spread ideas, and plan. At the moment none of the tools we use appear to be particularly efficient. VC is largely half duplex, slow and draining. 1:1 video calls feel invasive, so you don't want to start them unless you really have to. Where I work we have "workplace" but the signal to noise ratio is really quite terrible. I suspect that half of that is down to culture of present $company.

Slack is a much better at instant chat, but workplace has better layout for semi ephemeral messaging. None of them are good for longterm documentation.

> I think I wouldn’t get the same connection with people who don’t work for the same company as I do.

Mentioned this in another comment, but I'm working from my company's local office while my team is mostly elsewhere/remote. We had an in-person onsite at HQ recently though, and I realized even working with other people at my company is peanuts compared to working physically with the actual people on my team I work with day-to-day. (Obviously this distinction is only meaningful at larger companies).
