I strongly recommend dance classes (especially partner dances like tango or salsa). You get exercise, learn physical and verbal communication, become comfortable with awkward mistakes and social failures, and meet lots of new people.

Rotating partners every few minutes helps you leftover both dance and social skills. Each person is different, do every partner is different. Sometimes, you just don't click and that's ok. You remember the people you did enjoy dancing with and make sure to grab a few dances later
I don't have anything substantive to add, but I find this drift frustrating. I think we're at the point that we have to put cryptography in full every time now.

No doubt professional cryptographers are the ones most inconvenienced by it.
To put this in perspective, Tesla had sold about 2 million cars total. So Tesla have recalled a quarter of all the cars they have ever sold.
Some DBs let you do this and it's helpful when one of the things you're selecting is some complex scalar expression, but you still have to list each item in the group by
While your statement is true, the universe is so big, that exponential growth at our (increasing) rate is still possible for many, many millenia (assuming no apocalypse scenario). Apart from that, money is inflationary by design.
It’s not that crazy. People sometimes sell their baby off to finance gambling debts. Some parents are terrible and we shouldn’t be giving them economic reason to have more children.
a) stop calling yourself a nerd

b) your mind doesn't 'constantly revolve around tech and science.', you are just bad at other things and dismiss them or want to feel superior. Normal Relationships don't revolve around a single topic they agree on

c) if you are lonely, it isn't because you are a nerd (heck, being nerdy is even popular now), if because of your lack of social skills and do nothing to improve them

d) get the fuck out of the house and interact with people. Gym, bar, supermarket, sports league, hobby place, dog park, etc. Just because the person you meet doesn't have an opinion on linux vs mac vs windows, or if Pluto is or isn't a planet, doesn't mean they aren't interesting/know interesting topics. You are not special or better because you 'pursue' science

(sorry for the negative tone, but is needed, all the 'nerds' I see that are lonely are a result of putting science or correctness or tech as the highest thing in life, and being condescending to other's interests, which makes they not really relatable, and thus lonely)
I haven't used it, and I don't add new music to my collection in such bulk that I need a special tool for tagging. The thing that used to boil my blood about MusicBrainz and Discogs was album dates. I couldn't give a shit if this damn release was a 1998 remaster, what I care about is that the album was recorded in 1968, and therefore it is music of the 60s. Do not add it into my smart playlist of highly rated music from the 90s!

Anyway, after automatically trashing the dates on a whole load of albums a while back I stopped using all of those tools.
Why would Unix go and add random restrictions to filenames?

And what text protocol requires you to just insert user data without escaping or re-encoding? That looks badly broken. The kind of broken that will give your entire system to a hacker for encrypting and demanding ransom.
1. Get customers for my SaaS -https://www.tollspot.com

2. Make ship able customer test units for my hardware project related to #1 - custom PCB, presentable enclosure, remote management, etc.

3. Get comfortable going to trade shows to market 1 & 2 and present to group of people (this is going to be difficult due to my personality and I’ve been a developer all my life, so I’m terrified of the transition to business side)

Happy New Year!!
great writeup that overlaps with a lot of stuff i do for myself — a few related tool suggestions from my own experience are caddy for https (absurdly easy config — seriously, i would never go back to nginx if i could help it) and netdata for server monitoring (open source, optionally connectable to a web dashboard with email alerts)

Not that it helped Acorn survive, of course! Right up until the end, RISC OS ran on interrupts, too much delicate kernel code, cooperative multitasking, and unprotected memory.

Just a reminder in case you have forgotten what the OP said:

>> Say you’re running an online store, selling something digital or physical.

>> Is it practical to completely avoid the fees of payment processing companies like Stripe?

You:

> You're examples are similar to crypto investments, which is almost the only thing people would spend their crypto on.

And how does that not count? Because you think it is for 'crypto investments', which you don't like? So..

..buying a blockchain domain name on OpenSea, Rarible for low fees is 'not practical' then? So I can't make my own marketplace using Shopify's NFT store then? Nor does any of that qualify as 'selling something digital' either in regards to the OP.

So Shopify is not 'e-commerce' because they allow you do sell NFTs?

So buying limited edition NFT shoes from an online store doesn't count either and they are not 'products'? [0]

Given that, is that why you knowingly edited and deleted your comment about the extremely narrow existence of an popular e-commerce business that solely accepts cryptocurrencies for physical products except for the dark web to make a fallacious point that cryptocurrencies are not ever 'practical' for avoiding 'expensive transaction fees' because 'ecoms added support and removed that functionality again' and that means 'There's no interest for buying things' using cryptocurrencies?

At the end of this day, week, month and year, these companies have still have not given up on it, Stripe included. Maybe you should desperately ask how OpenSea, Rarible, Shopify, Circle.com etc are still able to do this, since you are having a very difficult time in ignoring it whenever another user asks a crypto-related question on Ask HN.

It's like how most online content is produced by a vocal minority. Most informal "random samples" are not representative of the population as a whole.
Same here (not a company but some paying users) but with CapRover.

Multiple webapps (Symfony, Phoenix, Magento) on a 20€/m OneProvider server.

Databases backups are done by a cron bash script which uploads to a ftp.

It works fine, only real downside for my use case is the small downtime after a deploy. I probably would use something else for a frequently deployed pro webapp.
Well said. A book on poetry I highly recommend is The Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart. A beautiful anthology of many poets and poems geared towards men in all stages of life. Everyone should learn one poem by heart is my take away from the book.
I might have done this unconsciously, but in my teenagers years I bond with others over videogames (couch gaming or chat about games). Made some good friends (really good).
Then I changed country and made friends of programming (the most nerd side of my passion). Made some good friends that way too.

The teenagers years were harder, it took a while to bond. I had two very good friends but lost one since he took a very different path.
And my actual friends were not in school with me, so my life was miserable while in school and sometimes great over the weekend.

I did a lot of "self analysis" (a lot of thinking about myself). This is something I did instinctively, I didn't study anything about it, but it helped dramatically.

I turned out very happy and satisfied though, so in that mess, something must have worked!
But I did meet many nerdy people myself and made friends with (including a wife), so I'd be surprised if it's not possible to do the same.

The biggest struggle so far is that we can't find other families with nerd parents, now that we have kids. All the families we are friends with are all into hiking. Luckily, kids give plenty to talk about.
Wow thanks for sharing this. I know I'm weird but I think I would still rather get DVDs because you have such a wider selection. And you can get very unique and hard to find movies. You're not locked into licensing deals between large movie studios.
Agreed. I used to have this stereotype in mind which prevented me from delving deep into maths and science. But then I discovered people who enjoyed maths who were also great speakers, and friendly, and fun to hang around with, which dispelled my fears.

It's interesting how science-like yt video channels like https://youtu.be/vpwSYQelMEg?t=176 make the case that endocarditis is unusually high (let's say 14 of 7.14million), and saying "we don't know what the baseline is but..."

when you can easily look back a few years and look up stats (took me 10 seconds):
https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.116.005306 where baseline is 1/50k^ Any comment to this effect is deleted/unapproved. I can only assume this is the new kind of anti-vax propaganda, to get around yt rules.

^While the instances of vaccine-related endocarditis are relatively high for the 20s to 40s male groups, for children there's nothing to suggest endocarditis is a specific side-effect, afaik.
Hi. Author of Next Generation Shell here. Totally agree. Also UI of the shell is stuck and ignores pretty much everything that happened in last decades.

Here is my plan for the UI: https://github.com/ngs-lang/ngs/wiki/UI-Design

Edit: but I do try to keep interoperability with existing bullshit.
It’s easier to connect with people when you realize you don’t have to share the same passions - they just have to be passionate about something.

Disclaimer: I don’t own any crypto, even though I can tell it’s the future because I don’t know which ones will win.

Web3s “killer app” is government services.

Crypto in general is a pseudonym for open source rewrites of developed countries’ legacy government infrastructure for developing countries.

Eventually it’ll be so good it’ll replace the legacy variants that exist today.
Not fitting in ears is holding them back for a lot of us. For a company interested in accessibility, Apple is super tone deaf on this one.
I'm planning to build spin classes ("peloton") for smart trainers (I just bought a Wahoo Kickr Core - more trainer than I'll ever need and 1000x more comfortable than the Watt Bike in the gym).

I would trust a 3rd party on-device service slightly more, given that Google's incentives aren't exactly aligned with making that service high quality.
Personally, I think Telegram has enough reach that removing/blocking it would get a lot of unwanted political attention against Google - I mean, a lot of politicians and decision makers seem to use Telegram depending on the country. So I don't think they would do that.

I think they will just figure out how to break this feature.
There is a remedy, of course, but you may not appreciate the side-effects
It's called "flow". Most people do it. It's how artists work and rock climbers climb and everyone else who gets focused on a moderately complex task. Programming is a great form of art, one that is more lucrative than other art forms, but it's not different from other human experience.
pedantic noted but I think NICU is for infants… ICU is where you likely were.
> By trying to bond with people on an emotional level rather than an intellectual one.

Exactly, but doing so requires opening and up being vulnerable, which is very difficult and/or scary for some people. It took me years to realize that I needed to open up if I really wanted to connect with people and make friends. It's kind of funny when I think back on it. I was willing to take risks with my career and join early stage startups. I was willing to risk starting my own startup (which end up failing miserably). I was willing to take on risky hobbies like rock climbing and sailing, and I was willing to make some risky financial investments (that ended up doing pretty well). But through the majority of my 20s, the one thing I was NOT willing to risk EVER was being vulnerable, embarrassed, or rejected.
Yeah... How do I get to choose what I share? How would it work for HN or Twitter? Do they have to support this? Where should they start to be able to support this? Again, how am I going to choose what I share? Who exactly has to implement it? I really need some details.

If we actually have to rely on Twitter implementing something like this, then I do not have high hopes, as they most likely would not want to implement something like this. :)

The client-side hashing is actually the part that keeps your master password a secret, from everyone including LastPass yourself. This makes sure that LastPass cannot decrypt your passwords despite them being stored there. The server-side part on the other hand is severely misimplemented and not much good to anyone. This is one of the issues I’ve written about here: https://palant.info/2018/07/09/is-your-lastpass-data-really-...
Homebrew is two package management systems with one command line interface. One is MacPorts but worse and with more contributors (formulae, i.e., the main part of Homebrew). The other (casks) is like Chocolatey on Windows, and downloads the installers or bundle images for GUI apps from their official websites, and then does its best to install them non-interactively for you on an ad-hoc basis.

Casks are worth using because they fill a gap that 'proper' package managers mostly don't. Installing GUI apps automatically in this way isn't really package management, but it's still better than installing them manually.

Homebrew's main functionality, on the other hand, still has all of the same problems it always has. It also has the advantage that it's more likely to include trendy, new utilities than MacPorts is because it has more contributors.

I recommend installing Homebrew to a local prefix under your user (e.g., ~/.opt/homebrew) and using it exclusively for 'casks', but continuing to use MacPorts. If you need something that's not packaged in MacPorts yet, consider Nix instead of Homebrew. The package collection, Nixpkgs, is massive and even more up-to-date than Homebrew, and nothing installed from it will break anything from MacPorts (or be affected by anything MacPorts, either).

MacPorts is more likely to include Mac-specific software, but if you're curious about alternatives in general, Pkgsrc is also a sound choice, and you can probably try it alongside MacPorts without breaking anything.
I don’t ride rollercoasters but if I did I would want them to use these.
I don't know Segment, but EdTech is all about analytics. Everyone wants hyperspecific data, e.g. do students who attend the first three lectures do better than students who didn't do that, but were there the last lecture?

So not so surprising, "from a certain point of view" [0].

NFTs are not equivalent to fine art.

They are equivalent to receipts documenting payments for a piece of fine art that is permanently hanging in a public gallery for anyone to see.

In the case of an important work of art, it is likely that some of these receipts will be of historical interest.

The rest are just lottery tickets that didn’t win.
Shared-nothing dataflow models are an interesting way to engineer (some types of) parallelism.
You dissolve the memory of it, also known as forgetting. It's not real, it was a mental form created by your mind. It cease to exist if you stop to feed it.

If you are overwhelmed by your mind, try to use it less and instead use your emotion, use your body (walk, exercise, ...).
I remember when I discovered this-- very helpful feature and I am happy it's there (and sad most DBs don't have it). But if I'm grouping I'm almost necessarily not grouping on at least one of the tables' PKs, so it only goes so far

An unfortunate behavior I notice is that, regardless of healthcare available, most people ignore their health until something is actually wrong. Then they have to go through the ordeal of finding a primary care doctor, getting recommendations, figuring out where to go and how to work the system, etc. People seem to expect everything to just work (1st world problems?) without adding in their own efforts. So, it doesnt seem to matter entirely about healthcare available as much as the patients interest in helping themselves.
I went to a climbing gym for a year, several times a week. Never had a longer conversation with anyone I wasn't already friends with; not that I tried that hard. I'm not sure how I'd start a friendship there.
Wouldn't that be just as bad (if not worse) than the current situation? Those huge corporations could just read everything from the blockchain. At least in the current situation companies need to provide some sort of service to get to your data.

> Why can't they open an online checking account like Ally which will allow them to deposit a photo of their check free of charge?

You have an incredible amount of optimism for both Ally's marketing department and also rural internet. Furthermore, this doesn't solve the cash problem unless you want to pay upwards of $5 just to pull out of an ATM.

Has anyone any idea where the `` format strings come from??

As far as I know rust doesn't have them.

And as far as I know if rust gets format strings it most likely get
them in form of a `f` prefix (like raw strings have an `r` prefix and binary strings have a `b` prefix).

Is it just a thing to make the code more readable/shorter on the web?
I think the ship has sailed on avoiding embarrassment to the state…

I’m a mechanical engineer - smartbolts are cool but rarely used in my experience. Much more commonly used are DTI washers: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_tension_indicator

Due to the washer style can be used with a wide range of fasteners. The most common type, in my experience, due to the ease of use, has a little bit of colored goo inside the arched cells. The goo squirts out when the specified torque is reached.

That being said, there are a lot of approaches to this same problem. Another common technique is breakaway bolts that are driven with a piece that snaps away when a certain torque is reached: https://youtu.be/lrCoi3gaLfU

A similar case for a company I previously worked for. They started out making high quality photo albums, I believe targeted primarily at pets. They built in the deep-linking experience, so that you could send links to friends, etc. They eventually realized that every app ends up building in their own linking, and in turn became branch.io

I also think this is a very silly and egotistical question. Why do you want a legacy? I feel in some ways this is because people just want to deny there own death and insignificance so want to extend there life somehow beyond them, but they can't.

Aiming for legacy is a losing game, it's meaningless, just enjoy your life and help others do the same.
Sounds interesting but seems to be behind a paywall unfortunately, so I can only guess about the contents.

This reminds me of a similar incident I read about some time in summer 2020. If I remember correctly, it was about a container vessel on which people were catching Covid, even though the vessel had been at sea for weeks and everyone had tested negative before.

Any idea what's going on in those incidents?

I‘m going out on a limb and say almost everyone experiences this to some degree. If you find it impacts your life negatively you should definitely see a doctor. Other than that, mindfulness meditation is actually useful because you learn to control your thoughts instead of being controlled by them.
I'm dealing with something like this too. It's come up a lot while watching shows where some protagonist's friend turns psychotic and they suddenly must fight to survive. I keep thinking to myself, "just give up and let them kill you, it will be better that way!" I can't quite pinpoint the theme that seems to permeate all of these and how much of it is my own perspective versus some specific genre. I think of it a lot while watching The Future Diary, and also Higurashi: When They Cry.
That's good to hear! When did this change happen?
