I don’t think it is “going away“ in a general sense anytime soon. The main counter argument is that it is more complex than you need, but of course this depends on your (more likely “your organizations“) needs. That can be hard to forecast on a 10 year timeframe, but I personally got dragged kicking in screaming into it last year and I can’t imagine I would’ve avoided it for much longer anyway.

So learn from my mistake and spend some time getting the basics before it’s added as a last minute requirement of your project! The bright side is that I, and probably you, don’t have to be the companywide expert at it, just know enough vocabulary and concepts to ask smart questions as you fit an existing install to your needs
Man, I miss those parties sometimes. I also don't miss the 3am night bus home, already hung over, with the creeping realisation that I spent all night spouting bullshit and may have accidentally committed to joining an extremist political party and/or cult. So, swings and roundabouts
Yes, it is possible to verify multiple accounts on the same number.

Have you tried 5-HTP? I started taking it around a decade ago, maybe more, and it was really helpful for my depression.

Aside from 5-HTP, I started taking oral ketamine for chronic neuropathic pain around 1-2 years back, and it's been absolutely transformational - I've suffered with depression for my entire life, even when I was a kid, and now for the first time ever I feel... like it's maybe not an issue! The dark feelings of sadness and loneliness, the random tears, the pointless futility of existence... those just aren't there anymore.
Right, I didn't mean to single out Python, but rather to single out Bash. My comment applies to Ruby and Perl as well.
I refuse to pay for lightroom. I'd consider their fees if it gave me all I wish :) As it stands now it's software that offers you nothing for a subscription.
Anyone can increment an ID or try to inject sql. 30 years of security practices shows white/grey hat hacking to be a good thing, and should be expected. GDPR even makes poor security finable. Cyberdefence also requires more security expertise, which can only be had from real experience.

"It's fine when the good guys do it", is poor lawmaking. So intent is hard to prove, and not very practical. It also put the blame on the accused, having to prove their innocence.

I find it interesting that people equate information breaches with murder.
At a guess: you're not at the bottom of the pile.

Also, there are multiple solutions to the equation I posted and you chose to pick the worst.
I did the same. What really ruined the product for me was the “X who you follow liked this”. If I wanted that shit I’d follow the person.
From what I know of Santander systems I had the "pleasure" to interact with as a third party dev, it's probably a poor sob who triggered a method called "doTheRightThing" which ended up doing something completely different.

Only Citi has surprised me more than Santander when it comes to completely insane IT org (Citi spent 2 months on an automated export and when we went live after UAT, we realized they were not ready and had a monkey do the "automated export" manually, with completely wrong format and information, and they didnt feel the need to warn us when it happened at 11pm...)
Practical, old languages tend to do this. In C++ or Common Lisp, which share little other than being multi-paradigm (unopinionated), it is fairly common to have house styles or accepted subsets.

Languages that try to build in some "house style" are my personal dystopia - such as early Java or current Go. Which does not say they ate not effective, just that I personally hate the philosophy.
A directory of content creators, so you could see trending videos with just embedded videos from any platform. Content creators could host their content on any platform, bypassing censorship and giving control back to the creators. Everything is just links, nothing is hosted on the directory/content creators page. ALL LINKS.

The content creators could even auto fill the pages with rss feeds.

Multiple videos(content) on sites would just be tabbed. Want to watch something on bitchute, rumble instead of youtube? Same video has 3 tabs. Put which platform you want as first tab.

Options for subscriptions to the content creator feed with "subscriber only" content.

Supporting content creators with merch, with multiple vendors, so prices of merch goes down, or quality goes up, more options of merch. Maybe an API so multiple vendors can hook in. Same for payment processors, ecoin, cards, etc. Creating more companies and competition.

API for advertising companies, let the creators select what ad types. Put the ads at the start of the videos for free, banners, etc.

Global directory of the content with lots of stats, and your feed can be sorted by time(new), hot, random, trending, etc.

Users can host their own servers, they control, that just feeds into the global server (if they want). Maybe paid servers for merch/sub options so there is funding for the main company, % of merch/subs.

All content, Everything, is allowed that is not illegal in the USA.

Free the Internet again, make lots of new companies, decentralize content, make more creators, spread money around.

Directory+Subs+Income+Revenue sources = jobs
Twitter's help page [1] claims you can verify up to 10 accounts with the same phone number, but in reality there's a few weeks cooldown period after 2 accounts where you won't be able to reuse the same number even if you remove it from all accounts. You used to be able to verify 4 at once by removing the number from each account right after verification, but now they're stricter and removing the number right after verification rather than waiting a few weeks is very likely to get your account locked and asking for phone verification again immediately.

You can use Google Voice (if you live in the US) or getsmscode.com, though. I've used the latter a lot for multiple sites and it's mostly reliable, better than free alternatives and it only has a very minimal cost ($0.1-$0.5 per verification text). Although it should be noted that sometimes Twitter will randomly force you to re-verify your phone number a while later, and the numbers on this site don't last forever (the US ones generally last for at least a few months, while Chinese ones likely won't work the next day already), so your account may be locked forever unless you manage to successfully appeal to Twitter (which can take anywhere between an hour and 6 months to get a response, whether it is positive or negative).

I'd also like to see a platform where discussions/debate can meaningfully continue beyond a day or two, but the problem inherent in long discussions is the format results in terrible signal/noise ratio if you let it run for too long.
Think of traditional forum threads with hundreds of pages.

Closing discussions after some time is just a practical matter. When posts are organized by chronology, or even by vote count, discussion cannot scale beyond a few hundred posts without becoming very hard to navigate.

Look at the incentive a new participant has when choosing whether to post in a new or an old thread. A post added deep down a reply chain, or at page 100 of a forum will have very little visibility, it'll be lost in the noise compared to a post in a fresh thread.

I think the way discussion platforms organize information is far from perfect, and noise/visibility/organization is really what puts a practical limit on ongoing discussions.
> Hint: being able to cite Plato does not make you in any way, shape, or form, more "intellectual" than the guy at the end of the bar who knows every Man U soccer game score, who scored, against whom, in which game, at what game time, using which strategy.

> Having consumed a 500 page book does not make you more intellectual than having consumed 500 episodes of Coronation Street. Consumption, in general, is a low hanging fruit, intellectually. Your love for Doctor Who doesn't make you smarter than someone's fanning over Rihanna.

> Intellectuals are rarely lonely. Because true intellectuals see value in information, no matter the sender or matter. Restrictive topic selection is pretty much the definition of anti-intellectualism, in my opinion.

Big red flag anytime anyone prefixes something with "true." First you stubbornly deny what an intellectual is, then you redefine its meaning to suit your narrative, with your "true intellectual."
Recuperation also works :)
I think copyright laws should focus more on attribution to original creator rather than who is copying and whether they have paid or not.

I am an expat living in Tokyo for 5 years. My language skills is limited - I haven't given any JLPT. I can understand some conversation but can't speak. I depend on my wife for most official paperwork. I have lived in US, China & India before.

I work mostly in MLOps. Life is really not that bad. I would probably never go back to US. I work in niche ML & robotics domain and there is enough scope for growth and making new things.

About life in general, what expats miss is that Japanese people forgive you for not knowing the language, but they do take offense at not following the general customs of the place. Being loud, making hand gestures, acting aggressively, talking on the phone in a public space & metro etc are big no-no. Too many foreigners feel unwelcome because they refuse to blend in & want to be the sore thumb sticking out.

Once someone blends in their society and manages to have japanese folks invite you in their inner circles, you become as thick as a family member. It all boils down to being respectful of the local way of life. If you live in Japan as a Japanese, (and maybe speaking some Japanese e.g N4 level), life is really comfortable & easy
It's a really hard thing to be objective about I think, the lists are never going to be particularly useful. There are definitely parts of Tokyo life that don't score well, like house pricing, size and type. The concrete jungle isn't for everyone either, there is an amicable amount of greenery but it's mostly concrete.

The lists seem to bias toward those things you mentioned, family homes and access to nature, so I think they're targeting a really specific demographic with that.

I'm big on urban wandering, dining out and social stuff but I can see why someone might retire in Adelaide instead of Tokyo if they want to relax their retirement away. I think I'd rather Tokyo, just because of the public transport. You'd be able to go anywhere even after you can't drive.
I'm just getting to the point where I'll have money to help - I'm looking to sponsor some folk to work on Gnome OS to build apps to fill the gaps. So little innovation is happening on the desktop these days.
And now I am reminded of the CmdrTaco option, and reminiscing about days long gone - certainly appropriate for New Year's day.
I do wonder sometimes if (you're willing to stick to Java then) you could use OSGI and get a lot of the same benefits. But I never went that far into OSGI to really know, and I like SQLAlchemy too much these days!
With "standardized" game engines such as Unreal Engine and Unity and somewhat standardized asset creation pipelines (PBR texturing) a team can start building a great looking game with good graphics and probably good performance by just using "gameplay programmers". Back in the day it was impossible to create good looking games at all without a "game graphics programmer". Maybe on mobile that is different. I would focus on graphics programming in a more broader sense, and maybe consider going into (medical) or CAD visualization fields.. And there I guess targeting OpenGL / Vulkan is a much better platform to be "efficient in".

What I am trying to say is that trying to make "_game_ graphics programming" your home is maybe not the best career choice for a graphics programmer.

A good tip, and I try hard to find a balance. I raise this question once in a while to myself. But some areas like modern physics or biology or medicine are inaccessible to me to create because I’m not smart enough in “calculate” part of it. Instead I put free time efforts in my main area, human-oriented programming, hoping something meaningful will come out. Not even for money in there.

Even writing this comment, I can feel the waste of time it is, or any other comment

Seeing people now who got drunk and went walk instead of reading and having on-topic conversations “back then”, I don’t think you are wasting your time. I prefer not to be them, even if it would make me happier. Thanks for your time!
It's strange, but my personal experience could hardly be more different. I mainly use it for work in the gaming sector and, to a smaller extent, tech. I occasionally see rage and strong opinions, but it's a very small minority. Most of the time, it's useful, informative content. I do hide trending topics, which I think helps, but even before I did, my experience was nowhere near as negative as yours.
> general rule of thumb is that middlemen tend to increase prices and reduce efficiency, so unless there's a legal requirement to conduct business through them (e.g. car dealerships), it's always better to go directly to the vendor.

With “market search” middlemen, the reason people who are aware that middlemen add cost go with them anyway is the perception (which can be more or less accurate in different markets) that while there is an added cost compared to the best direct deal with the best vendor, it is worthwhile because there is a savings after considering value of time and the likely matrix of direct deals vs time invested in securing them. This may be more justified in the same market than it would be on its own when the item with the middleman is a necessary component of a larger transaction with other moving pieces that require attention, which can increase the opportunity cost of time focussed on that one piece.

This thing is ruining my experience as well. I don't want any time of suggestions in my feed. I curated it so that there's only people of tech who talk mostly about tech but my feed is pure garbage now filled with political comments, holidays pics etc. of people I don't even follow.
I've been using Linux Mint since Ubuntu became a bit of a mess. Well worth a look.
IV is not 10x more effective than intranasal - it's maybe twice as effective.

IV bioavailability is 100%, intramuscular 93%, intranasal around 50%, and oral around 20%.

This is something I just don't understand about IV ketamine therapy - IV protocols vary wildly, and I haven't been able to find any reasons why IV would be more effective than any other route of administration with an increased dose.
Those doctors and nurses are little more than saboteurs. Would you hire someone who would willingly increases their own risk of being unable to work by orders of magnitude for no actual gain?

Note that this is not like not hiring someone who likes to go mountain biking and therefore are more likely to hurt themselves and not work. Hobbies like that have real benefits. Vaccine denial not.
There's a fantastic episode of Reid Hoffman's "Masters of Scale" podcast[1] that goes into great detail with one of the founders, Stewart Butterfield. He also did basically the same thing to form Flickr.

No at least with TB most people will have a latent infection (no symptoms and not transmittable) present potentially for a lifetime just waiting for immune system to weaken enough
So, if I update the copyright...and some copycat sets their copyright say at 2019....who retains the copyright?

I mean semantically, I always figured copyright is the minute it's published the first time... kind of like 'established in 1979'.

However, if you are of the mindset that this should be done...then you should probably have it done automatically somehow...even on a static site generator it could probably be re-generated on a cron or something and automatically set that footer...even easier if using dynamic sites.
Thanks. Yeah, had lots of problems when making my new account recently. It got constantly locked. Then support unlocked it but it got locked automatically a few hours later each time. I'm not exactly running a troll farm here, I get why they do it, but very annoying. Half the fun of twitter for me is the niche accounts. Like World Bollard Association for instance (not mine). But making these gets harder every day.
How much overhead does Clap add to a small console app now? Both in terms of compile time and binary size.

Or put another way, is there a minimum size an app should be before Clap is added, if you don’t want Clap to be the majority of the binary and compile time?

I think I remember trying an early version and it was painfully large then but maybe it has changed.
There are multiple types of system software, and it wasn't specified which.

If you're talking about Embedded or Kernel Systems, writing a layer that can efficiently and securely multiplex and abstract the hardware requires a much different set of tools than the rest of the system. Here I disagree with the author.

Once you're no longer concerned with directly probing the hardware, it seems far more appropriate to worry about correctness, then complexity/performance. C/C++ are unlikely to be the best match to the needs of the system and the programmer. Here I agree with the author.

Don't sell yourself so short. These are vast disciplines where a multitude of people with diverse skillsets can make valuable contributions.
Ask HN: General Questions for HN Readers
Reading HN usually makes me wonder the background of its members, so here are a few questions I would like to know:

- Where are you from?

- How old are you?

- In what field do you work? If it is related to CS, please specify the industry (SWE, AI, graphics etc)

- What did you study?

- What interests/hobbies do you have?
Bitcoin Is Efficient
No. It adds nothing but unneeded complexity to the stack. Learn how to package your software and use the package manager. You can combine that, if you must, with any kind of config manager like Ansible or something else.

So many companies are doing what's "trendy and shiny", and it can almost look like it is becoming a de-facto standard, but they will eventually realize the mistake.

Duh, forgot to mention: "Fishbase" was based on a Paradox (IIRC; could have been DBase) file.

Edit: Also, for FP/Lazarus that's probably SQLite and newer RDBMSes not "in stead of" but in addition to the old file formats and RDBMSes.
It's more convenient to work without a conversion step

If you're good at C or C++ why use another language you don't have deep knowledge of just to say I didn't write it on a language I know.
Hmm, I've read a lot about ketamine infusions, and I don't think I've ever come across them delivering it via the intramuscular route before. Was it just a single injection, and do you know how many mg? I thought the whole point was to keep plasma levels high for a long time.

Anyone with access to a vial of ketamine could easily perform a single IM injection at home without paying thousands of dollars for the privilege.
Under GDPR, people have the right to have their PII stored accurately and can demand corrections from companies. There was a case where a bank couldn't store someone's name properly, because its legacy systems couldn't handle characters with diacritics. The customer sued, and won.

Not a lawyer but I imagine this is a similar sort of situation and the same reasoning would apply.
Counterproposal: ditch at least the year. It’s obviously silly.
It's easy to "trivially know" because it's really expensive to disprove the statement, so you continue believing in your original one.

I am not in game development, but was recently looking in some deep learning networks. A lot of compute, bazillion layers of abstractions (erm python), but at the end of the day, 98% of the time was really spent calculating the matmul. I had luck that it was easy to check it and estimate the abstraction cost (not into great detail), and disprove my original thought.

Had i not checked it, I'd still trivially know that far more perf loss happened because of abstractions.
Not really relevant to an Apple environment. But I created a reasonably complex RAD/front office tool in a bank. Using spreadsheets as the format for all user inputs was phenomenally efficient for users are there was lot of tabular data (mappings, time series, trade lists, etc), and even a semi-sophisticated excel user will edit excel files extremely quickly. Wasn't python, it was C#+SpreadsheetGear (great commercial library for spreadsheets manipulations).
I was fortunate enough to be a fly on the wall the first couple of years of YC. A handful of incredible people, but honestly JL seemed to me to be the glue that held it all together.

Kind of true for unique_ptr as a C++ construct.

Sadly if the platform ABI is not ignored there is (usually? might be free on some platforms) overhead relative to a void* when passing one between functions.

Also there's the usual code size / compile time hazards of templates.
I think the argument is not specifically about parties. OP and this comment's GP are both talking about parties because it's an easy way to frame a confrontation with strangers.

I personally agree with the gp that "I'd rather read a book than go to a party" indicates room for improvement in social skills. So does "parties are only small talk". A skilled communicator can transition from small talk to more complex/interesting topics when talking with a stranger.

Most books are about people, right? How do you suspect the authors came up with all the interesting characters? You can find interesting characters in real life too, it just takes a different skillset from reading.

Neither I nor the GP (I think) are trying to say that poor social skills is an insult to character. Socializing is genuinely tiring for some people. That doesn't mean you can't practice and get better at it.
I see this exact exchange every thread about twitter.

I’m not convinced “holding it wrong” is a good answer, but it seems to be that I and others are “holding it wrong”.

I have 2 twitter accounts, I follow people who post interesting tech things. Then they retweet some more polarised stuff from others, or even if enough followers like a tweet it ends up in my feed.

I would follow nobody if I unfollowed everyone who does this.

The truth is that humans are varied and while they might have a hobby (tech) they also have opinions about society.

It’s unfair not to assume that.
