Yeah, but sometimes… Life hits hard and you‘ll miss out on these days.

When I turned 22 in 2008, my mom surprised me with her having sarcoidosis, a disease which will turn functional cells into non-functional ones. Quite an issue when it starts in your lungs. A year later, my father surprised me with him having cancer.

Long story short, they passed away in 2013 and 2017. I should also mention that I have four younger siblings. I raised my little sister until the beginning of 2020, when she turned 18. And then, the pandemic hit.

Now, I‘m ready for everything I missed in my mid-twenties. Party like there is no tomorrow, make stupid mistakes and f*ck around (literally and metaphorically).

Yet that means I‘ll be unable to live a „normal“ life by our societie's standards, because I already should have wife and kids by the age of 35…

What a great metaphor.
It depends on your definition of "elderly", "health issues", and "very, very low".

There were 60,000 US fatalities of people younger than 50 (1 Vietnam War's worth of US casualties, or, if you prefer, 15,000 Benghazis).

Yes, for many of the dead, you can retroactively point to "health issues", but those are _extremely_ common, even among people who generally don't consider themselves "chronically ill" at all. And some of the "health issues" might come down to having a bad set of certain genes that up to now have never caused any significant issues.

Finally, there are other Covid consequences than death. I personally know several people (some of them perfectly healthy people in their early 20s) dealing with fatigue/loss of taste for a year (and counting). Personally, I'm fairly confident that the risk of severe outcomes of an acute COVID-19 infection are minuscule for me, thanks to vaccination (So that's a vast improvement over a year ago), but the risks of chronic complications are not as well managed with vaccines, are not particularly closely correlated with severity of the acute infection, and are, as of yet, practically unknown for the omicron variant.
Ask HN: Are there any CTFs/wargames teaching operating systems concept?
Recently I've been "playing" the introductory CTF at overthewire and ctflearn, and I found that to be a good brushup of my Linux skills.

Soon at my technical uni I'll be having Operating Systems course that's widely considered to be one of the hardest subjects there.

With that in mind, I'd like to start learning about the subject in advance. And there comes the question from the title - do you know anything of that kind?
Thank you for the advice! Some friends and I signed for a basketball class next quarter, which I am looking forward to a lot. It's just a bunch of pick up games twice a week and maybe hitting the gym afterwards together. So I'm hoping that helps keep regular exercise and makes it fun.

I do find cooking to be fun (I hate the clean up though)! I was learning how to cook a few things in summer before school started again and that was enough to last me through the quarter, but I had to buy a meal plan on campus because oftentimes I didn't make the time to cook for myself.

Thank you your input!
In Oberon object files are executable files. Every object file can have subcommands, like the git command has init, add, commit etc. but it also contains the library functions (like libgit has) in that same object file.

If an object file contains calls to other object files, they get linked during load time, linking is not considered as a separate step.
hm I guess he's already a PUBLIC figure anyway... now he's officially public-public!
That seems counterintuitive. Shouldn’t the score be zero in that case?
We’re creating a society that’s going to force more people to resort to these drugs. Just take software development interviews, leetcode, med school, law school, these are intense things. You have a choice, dope up and grind these things or never have a chance at a good career. We aren’t building a society for healthy habits.
If you retire when you're 40 don't you basically have to live in mortal fear of serious illness for the rest of your life?
Making cars electric doesn't solve any of the problems with cars though. Cars, no matter the technology, are the problem. I'd much rather get rid of more or less all cars, permanently, period.
I have no doubt that some of the techniques can help - but "chiropractic" is still pseudoscientific nonsense. Even excluding the outlandish claims that it can cure other conditions, they make unscientific claims about how manipulations help with MSK pain. Chiropractic vertebral subluxations don't exist, joints don't need to be realigned - and even if they did - an activator device wouldn't do it.

As I said, studies do show it is as effective as other forms of manual therapy for MSK pain, which is to say it can be fairly effective.

I think it's probably the case in the USA that people call themselves chiropractors who, in other countries, would refer to themselves as physical therapists, because people know what chiropractors are. Sort of like branding. I've read about US having "evidence based chiropractors" who are, in effect, what in the UK would be called osteopaths - which is still alternative medicine but with far less woo than chiropractic.

I have been to chiropractors, osteopaths and others and did find it effective, but then I also found massage and physical therapy effective. I think just having someone really get in there to give your muscles a rub and crack your joints makes you feel good for some currently not known reason.
Oh. Absolutely!
Behavioral biology. Watching Standford lectures on YT how mono/poligamy, being gay etc. are biology based (different sizes of brain parts, different number of receptors for X etc., animal models, humam studies).
No, he would not be called illiterate by these assessments. That is why spell checkers are irrelevant to the utility of 6th grade literacy in college admissions.

Solid reading comprehension should allow you to make a reasonable guess at the intended value of the missing noun; it was "experience". I am not enjoying the experience of discussing literacy assessment with someone who has vastly overestimated their knowledge of the topic, so I will not continue.
Linking was also invented because sources to certain libraries were (and often still are) closed, not available at compile time.

Another point of linking is, well, linking together different source languages, often a high-level language and and assembly, or a high-level language and C. In certain areas, libraries written in Fortran are important, too.

A complete language monoculture often is not attainable, even with languages as total as C++, Rust, or Java.
Have you used any other DVCS other than git? Bitkeeper ux us vastly better. Git ux is rough.
If you are in software there is no reason you shouldn't be able to retire.
Most projects I get involved in that can afford a k8s resource, implement k8s. It's a beautiful piece of technology and I think we'll only see more of it. So, yes. I think it's worth it.
> Tokyo comes joint fourth, but its population is larger than the combined populations of the others (Adelaide, Auckland, Osaka and Wellington).

Having lived in Adelaide and visited Toyko, Osaka and a bunch of other Japanese cities, I can take a crack at the difference:

Adelaide is a great lifestyle city, if you don't actually want to live in a city, love car enabled lifestyles and the outdoors. Tokyo would be great if you just love city life and have an insatiable desire to discover city culture, and you want to spend most of your time as a pedestrian. You just can't run out of things to discover in Tokyo or Japan in general, and everything is easy to get to in Japan from Tokyo.

In Adelaide, you need a car to get out of the burbs, it's very car centric, and because you'll eventually run out of stuff to do in the city since it's quite small, you'll need the car to drive out to new places. Public transport is spotty, or non-existent. Trains aren't too bad, if you move here, move near a train.

I would recommend Adelaide if you're pretty content with a median lifestyle, and just want to focus on hobbies, sports and don't mind going to the same handful of cafes every year. I think you'd get more mileage out of Tokyo if you want to dive headfirst into city life and city culture.

The other difference is that with a low population, hobby groups in Adelaide are small, and what you love may not even be in Adelaide, getting supplies for things can be difficult. Lots of new things don't make it there due to that issue as well. It can feel a bit dead-end in that way. In Tokyo, if you like it, there's a group for you somewhere, and what you want is probably sold nearby.
Define “worth it”
If you plan to manage on-prem Kubernetes clusters, I’d look into the certifications. If you just want to deploy to Kubernetes I wouldn’t bother.

In many field basic Kubernetes skills have become expected, but you don’t need the certications to prove it.

It may depend on where in the world you’re located.
Yes, it's a known problem. Lax law enforcement, most social services are also "downtown."

While the commenter said they wont name the cities, it can be Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, etc.

It makes it unpleasant, and if you do have to live in the middle of downtown or such, not only are you paying more - you have to for safety. Safety of a living place, safety of controlled entry, safety of a garage for your car, etc.

In General it's all depressing, you'd imagine downtown cores would be the "best" of a city, but in the USA they generally are not.

Now whether or not it's true insecurity, fear or such can be up to person/gender but criminal statistics do not lie. You can pull up a map and see where the majority of crime is reported of happening - and there you go.

Then you can look at the threshold and severity. But nowadays we live in an era of political correctness or wokeness, so saying or making direct observations of that data can become very faulty quickly, especially once you bring up age, gender and race of the perpetrators.

So eh.
I didn't think about seeking professional help, but a few therapy sessions wouldn't hurt to see if there is or isn't anything serious going on that I don't have the expertise to see.

I have heard a lot of good things about habits and routines. I try to establish some for myself but admittedly I don't give it 100% and they don't stick. I'd love to have a solid sleep and wake up time, but I lack the self discipline to do so :/

Thank you for your input!!
The integration with Flash, Freehand and UltraDev I seem to remember was good. Being able to edit one file embedded in another program was a neat feature.
My main gripe about MP3s isn't the format itself but the inevitable huge difference in recording and mastering levels plus dynamics when converting old and new material for use on the same device such as for example portable media players. I've partially solved this by re-encoding everything that I put in there (1) using a macro on Audacity (suggestions on different tools welcome), however it sometimes crashes on some files, no reasons given why, and the result isn't what I would require anyway.
All other methods (replaygain) fail or don't fully work. The problem is due to the difference in level and dynamics: older material is either slightly compressed (analog master, vinyl or tape rip, etc.) or less compressed (digital remaster, CD rip) but still and very low in average sound level; newer material however is being over compressed to make it sound louder (search for "loudness war"), therefore to reduce all music on the same player to similar levels a tool should operate on dynamics first, taking account of the different ratios of the material being given, then once the dynamics has been normalized, it brings the volume to the same level.
As far as I know, there's nothing out there that does anything similar.

(1) Yes, I know re-encoding is THE bad thing, but that material isn't going to leave that device.
Although not directly related I’d like to see a modern guide to tokens and cookies. There are lots of choices and then on top of that the choice of storage location. I think OWASP recommend cookies rather than localStorage but it would be good to see the different risks each protocol or storage location comes with in an authorative guide with the pros and cons of each and which shouldn’t be used and why. I.e. there seems to be lots of footguns on top of the complexity of having to choose the appropriate OAuth flow.
There was a fork of BeOS floating about which was based on BeOS source: Zeta.

Unfortunately the company behind it (originally YellowTab, later Magnussoft) couldn’t prove they had any rights to the code.

I feel like the big tech corp life has a lot to offer but I had to grind it out for 7 years at small and mid-size companies first. I sense people who go straight into it from school don't appreciate it as much.
It's market for "office work" all over, does it mean that it cannot be used for games? I don't understand...
Yes, but the UTF-8 logic, how complex is that?

I don't even know what union does, but I can imagine you have many smaller chunks?
The reason for this is we descend from an unbroken genetic line of creatures for which absolutely nothing else mattered what they did or did not do except that they could procreate healthy offspring. The drive for life to ensure it’s continual survival and evolution takes on all forms and it’s power permeates every other part of life. primatea in all of our wit and charm have become too smart to procreate in some cases by figuring out how to short circuit the drive to procreate through artificial stimulation. In some cases, intelligence can become an evolutionary disadvantage.
Ooh! I like that "burnout is a sign to mix things up". Thank you for the advice!
My advice? Stop worrying about what other people will think of you. Figure out what is important to you (your time, focus, sanity, etc) and work from there.

I quite the whole of Facebook's ecosystem back in '19 and have not looked back.

I am still on Twitter and try to heavily curate what I follow and limit the amount of it.
It also took them the better part of several decades.

Most cities that have tried doing this globally have only done so very recently, and it shows, but that's okay, because it took time and patience to methodically go through more or less every Dutch road and change it.
Deposit accounts are liabilities for banks. This move would negatively affect Santander's position.
This is how things work in Java, or Python, or JavaScript.
Don't need to speak to be a dev. Pay is low, rakuten imports devs regularly. Japanese prefer South East Asia/West Europeans vs Americans (North, Central & South.)

Learning the language isn't hard either, I passed JLPT N4 within 3 months of just showing up in Tokyo.

Max pay would be 40-60K/yr until you get PR &/OR N1/N2. Then it may balloon up a bit but not so much. You should be able to score a free apartment though.
I think it depends on the region. I can see what you’re saying to be a thing in Western Europe, especially the UK, where because of the earlier industrialization there would be more occasions to socialize outside of the family and you would have been expected to socialize outside the family a little more compared to the only-agricultural past.

Also, the tavern can only be a thing in a society that has cash/money, which also makes me think that a place like Western Europe would have the upper hand on this. Even going in the second part of the 20th century my grandparents’ village was trying to avoid money/cash as much as possible, work-days were often-times paid in other work-days, so to speak, i.e. “I help you out with that hay thing for three days you help me out in return with two days carring wood out of the forrest” or something like that.

Big parties did indeed also happen at weddings and after burials, the latter ones are called “parastas” and I think it has been directly taken from the antique Greco-Roman tradition.

Does this happen? On what communities? Where does anyone pay attention to “credibility”? For me all forums are a string of comments. And there’s really only two forums to me, Reddit and Hacker News.
> That's just your opinion, man. I've heard from more Diablo players than just you that they dearly miss it.

It's amazing how you totally dismiss the opinion of all the players who didn't like and didn't want the marketplace as irrelevant

> But I guess if all the value of your game is extracted to the team running the servers and zero of it to players

Ah yes, making a better game whose goal is no longer a rush to monetize assets is "giving no value to the players".

> Clearly those items weren't meaningless outside Diablo when they sold for real money. How thick can you be

Because they literally have no meaning or value outside the game for which they were designed and that only work within that game.

> You think its that impossible to decentralize a market?

Ah yes. The good old "let's pretend my opponent said and thought this thing and bravely fight this argument I invented for my opponent"
There is no way a US/China conflict (which one would imagine Taiwan vs. China would become) does not involve nukes in some capacity, which I think makes it hard to predict much from previous conflicts what it would look like (and also I'd say makes it a really bad thing that should be avoided but hey not everyone sees it my way).
I know you gotta start somewhere but just Apple and Commodore is a very narrow focus. There was so much more out there.

I would also say that navigating the piles of garbage on the sidewalk is not fun, either.
Incredibly well written. Thank you for sharing. I greatly appreciate your thoughts and input!!
I also live there and one interesting bit that, in retrospective is OBVIOUS, is that there are also no cars parked on the streets! Like, if you look at pictures or walk down the street it feels so pleasant for some reason but difficult to put your finger at it, until you realize there's no huge cars piling on the sides.

I prefer European Architecture for downtown buildings, but the no cars bit generally overpowers this preference in making Tokyo at a similar level of beauty for me, and the bits where there are particularly beautiful buildings in Tokyo or Japan well that's just perfect.

(also warning like parent, there is some street parking, but it's just minuscule)
I read a ton and this is my #1 complaint about nonfiction (and sometimes fiction too). I’ve read two books recently that broke this pattern (replacing guilt by Nate Soared, and hell yeah or no by Derek Sivers). It was a huge breath of fresh air, to not find myself skimming over the 32nd time the author feels the need to restate the premise of the book in only slightly different terms. Most authors just don’t have 200 pages of insight into whatever they’re writing about; I’m not sure why exactly they all feel the need to write 200-300 pages anyway.

I’m not sure where the disconnect lies, between the people that view this as a huge problem with nonfiction and the rest. I don’t think it’s book selection, because I’ll often read a book where I felt the last half was 90% rehashing, and in the reviews no one else will mention that the author ran out of interesting things to say halfway through.
Not the same as the article, but very similar...

I know someone who has social anxiety that drives them from social events, but also makes it difficult for them to do small talk. So instead, they read. A lot. Literature, science, philosophy, gardening... That's where the next problem comes in. They find some fascinating fact and think "this is so interesting, next time I'm tongue tied, I'll remember to mention it!". That's when they realise that most people want to talk about what they ate for breakfast, who won the sports event, what their 6 year old said to teacher, whether some famous person is an asshole or not. Not a lot of people want to get down into the belly of a complex subject, debate the finer points of some issue. And that's fine, but my friend just can't do that type of conversation for more than a minute or two before going completely blank and then making some excuse for moving on.

Worse, there are people who take offence at intellectual conversation. Anything from mild annoyance ("huh? What are you talking about?") to outright insult ("Oh, somebody swallowed a dictionary" / "You think you're so smart")

As someone else pointed out, you can go online and try to find like minded people, but that can be so toxic. And not just the wider internet, but specialist groups that have a lot in common. Why, a knitting group ended up front page on the internet a while back because they tore each other apart in the middle of some purity spiral.
I find this true for some of the recent horde of nonfiction books with names like “numb: the astounding new science of how your leg falls asleep”. Their topic is usually fascinating, but the content is full of random stories, speculation, and drawn out conclusions.

You can still feel lonely while asking those questions and keeping other party engaged. Because it is one way discussion. You are saying things to engage and fun the other person. But you yourself is not getting connected nor feeling like you are engaged or expressing yourself.

I mean, it can be fun and enjoyable, but it does not help loneliness, no more then business meeting.
You can even hold more than one concurrently I hear!
My ISP has offered ipv6 for almost 7 years. When ever I tried to you use ipv6 it was just a miserable shit show. Their support says everything is fine and in the support forums thing work fine for some and for some not so much.

When ever I enabled ipv6 I got 10/10 from test-ipv6.com and randomly few ours later it would go down for no reason. I used few hours to understand wtf was happening. Then I just gave up and disabled ipv6. I got peace of mind and lost nothing. Maybe someday I am bored enough to try again that sorcery and black magic.
100% AGree don't learn Japanese from another gender, you will sound effeminate - if you have some standing in the langauge, then it is totally okay - but then there's another side of the stigma/gaijin hunter that use langauge exchange for dating/making kids.

But, yeah, using emi (笑） or ww as a guy is a very huge social gaffe if not used sarcastically. You can use it it, but better with close relationships, like really close - and that whole "ne" and up pitch voice also is 100% accurate.

With that said, ne, "sou da ne?/そうだね" is acceptable as a guy if it's usually sarcastic or mocking - context: drinks, talking about friends or such - or teasing one another about their gf/wife - 100% acceptable. Doing it at a mall, store, work, no - and they won't tell you!

--
For the older timers/gaijin bubble, it depends. I find the older crowd, if they're settled and have a family a huge plus. If they're an English Teacher/in Eikawa, avoid - that sounds rude and cruel, but if someones early 20's and in JET - that's acceptable, if they're mid 40's and trying to play as they're still in their 20's - they may know a few things and such but it's not a good sign usually.
