> That... weird. Having government approved journalists on government payroll sure sounds like something out of China, Russia or Cuba.

The government doesn't actively handle the hiring, CBC has journalistic independence from the government. They in fact handle all of their internal systems (email, data, phone) independently from the government.

> I mean let's face it, will they really critisize and investigate the hands that signs their check?

They do all the time in fact, and they report on themselves even if it shines a negative light.

> Is there a market for it? Right now this content is dumped by a single player that's subsidized. No reason to enter this space.

When the majority of the private content available is from the US, it's also hard to compete with the torrents of culture they push on us. At least CBC is actively pushing content that is culturally significant.
I'm not too familiar with 4chan and handshake, but my current understanding of this is that it's like using public-private key cryptography for creating user identities, and then using blockchain to map public keys to usernames?

So if I wanted to make a post, I first generate a public-private key pair, and then sign posts using my public key?
Missing the point, which is that the lookup doesn't need to function or be available for anyone but the person composing the message at the time they compose it. It can be entirely private, entirely public, or a mix. What gets transmitted is the pubkey. Optionally the relay can provide a mapping, which may be globally consistent or entirely based in some private mapping.

Users just need a catalog which includes the keys of people they care about. The relays can backfill this information. You have little reason to know mappings for users whose messages you're not seeing, and if the messages are not censored the mappings won't be either.

To someone burning out, “a)” is really not great. I get what you’re trying to say, but it comes across like “you suck or you wouldn’t be burning out”.

People do succeed and burn out - it’s a pyrrhic victory.

I usually find burnout can be caused when one is in a system that has high friction (lots of administrative crap), vague performance requirements (bring me a rock, but make it good), and someone who is incredibly passionate and good at what they do, but can’t make the progress they want in their current position.
I have a half dozen books on the subject on the bookshelf in my office, read quite a few more on top of those during undergrad and have easily read well over a hundred papers on the topic.

I also have a pretty heavy background in stats, I’m well aware of the replication crisis, and I’m deeply skeptical by nature. My opinions are backed by an overwhelming preponderance of evidence, which you seem to feel qualified to criticize despite not having been aware of its existence until today, much less having actually read any of it.

Did you try looking for more papers to confirm if it was really just a few? If so, what did you see?
You should look at the FIDO Alliance and WebAuthN. This is a standard which brings PKI toward the forefront:

But wasn't the 2.88MB format using entirely different (and less economical/available) media as well? As far as I understand, RLL could have used the same media. BIOS support, on the other hand, could have been a limiting factor, as you point out.
No.

Would staying on be a sign of strength? What kind of strength? That you're strong enough to use it without letting it run your life?

Or would it be a sign of weakness? That you're weak enough to waste tons of time on pointless stuff while telling yourself how in control you are?

If you're unable to keep it in limits, then at least be strong-minded enough to recognize that you can't keep it in limits, and strong enough to do something about it.

>For me it seems to tie in with the thinking that the male is a defective female.

I don't interpret it that way. Rather, I see the thinking that the masculine ideal boys are introduced to shames any traits typically considered "feminine" in a man, even if they would normally be healthy in a boy. That there is a marked difference in race suggests the phenomenon is linked to cultural and ethnic identity as it relates to the definition of "man" versus "boy." Rather than the male being a defective female, an 'effeminate' male is a defective male (in the same way a "mannish" woman is often seen as a defective female.) Unfortunately, the strict isolation of masculine and feminine traits in modern society means healthy traits which should be common wind up quarantined to either the "boys only" or "girls only" camp.

There is a common academic term to describe this phenomenon but it is impossible to speak its name on Hacker News without the thread immediately bursting into flames.

As many others below have pointed out, there are a variety of reasons why this narrative is extremely flimsy. All ends do not justify all means, especially when the proven correlation between the ends and the means is often lacking or doesn't support the use of the means at all.

I wouldn’t use either unless you have to. Ableton is an example of software that needs to run with a native gui framework like QT. At least, when it was written 20+ years ago.

Developers of general desktop apps, CRUD clients, editors, things that don’t need to be resource intensive should use modern layout engines like Electron.

Productivity and safety are important and trusting developers with manual memory management or any necessity to develop at a lower level should be avoided if possible.

Less executable code is better in the desktop space.
I have the same MX Master 3 Mouse and had lots of troubles getting the acceleration and scroll feel "normal" on macOS. SmoothScroll[1] was the best for correcting the inconsistent rate of scrolling down pages -- however it was not free, so I stopped using it. I ended up using the free version of USB Overdrive[2] as it allows you to disable acceleration among other things.

I recall feeling like social media was taking up too much time. Instead of just quitting, I listened to tips from other people and figured out my own hacks to minimize distraction. In a couple cases, I just uninstalled apps - though it wasn't easy because some people only communicate on certain apps. It's just that I realized that my time is more important. Some of my work is social media, so I do have to keep my accounts. On Facebook I set privacy so that only friends could see my activity or contact me and then unfriended everyone so that no-one could contact me - this lets me follow groups, manage pages, and access developer APIs without being bothered. On Twitter, where I mostly hang out, I have a list that I've made private and I only add people I really want to follow there. By minimizing exposure, I'm able to stay on a platform without wasting a lot of time.

Years just measure a period of something called "time" which we still don't understand fully, in a numerical system invented by humans from a starting point that was arbitrarily chosen. So I don't think years (or new year, for that matter), mean anything special.

That said, I do hope that from this moment on, we will see some sanity in all aspects of the human civilization. But then again, hope is a concept which is invented by our human brains to feel good about future events that we cannot control.
A few points, mostly hypothesizing:

1. My understanding is that these videos often talk about very general symptoms, that could be caused by these mental disorders -- but also by a lot of other things.

2. The videos take on an authoritative tone, which does a good job of convincing people (especially kids). I've written about this phenomenon (albeit playing out in written form) on HN before:

> Welcome to the internet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> It's not hard to find highly opinionated people making assumptions while confidently believing they're right. If you look closely, you'll notice this all the time on HN and Reddit and basically anywhere that allows people to comment.

> The scary thing is that many readers will also often take anything said confidently enough to be fact. This is also basically how a lot of disinformation works. Say it authoritatively, and you'll become an authority on the matter to many people.

3. The 'nocebo' effect is very real! It's the opposite of a placebo effect, where if you believe you have an illness, your body actually starts showing symptoms.

4. I'd believe that in a lot of cases it's less about a kid consciously thinking "Ooh it's trendy to have this, let me say I do", and more like kids thinking "Oh this seems to be a widespread thing, and I experience these symptoms sometime (I space out! And I have trouble sleeping! And I have a jittery leg! and so on), sure seems like I might have this!"

5. Very important quote from article:

> "If you spend 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes viewing people talk about these disorders over and over again, that can make it seem like these conditions are a lot more prevalent than they actually are in the world,"

Repetition makes it seem like a bigger deal, and makes it stick around in the kids' head. So the next time they space out in the classroom naturally the thought might occur ("Do I have dissociative disorder?").

6. If lots of kids start showing up to doctors' saying they have (for eg) BPD when they don't, it'll be a lot harder for those with actual symptoms to convince doctors of their situation and receive proper medical care, which is very worrying.

All this said:

1. I'm just a user of the internet - not a psychologist, nor someone with relevant formal training, so please take my hypotheses as just that -- hypotheses, not fact.

2. I haven't actually watched many of these videos, so if someone has links, please share them! I think a lot of people on HN might like to watch them and analyse what's going on.

This is a real documented phenomenon. An example from the metalworking industry: the big steel companies could produce a variety of products with their process, but smaller cheaper forges appeared that could produce certain kinds of material.

These kinds of material had lower profit margins, so the big companies gave up that share of the market. The big companies profit margins got even better, the smaller mills were making money, everything looks better to the investors.

Then the cheaper mills get better and can now do medium-grade work. That's still less profitable than the biggest work, so once again the big companies withdraw from that market when they can't compete on price and their profit margins get even better.

You can see where this is going. There's nothing stopping the upstart that you're ceding some of your markets to from entering into your market and taking it over, and at that point you have no moat and no differentiation, while those companies have a full range of other products to fall back on and earn revenue.

It is also very problematic in then seeking treatment: The conviction that you have X mental illness will influence how you report symptoms and color your experiences to fit that narrative.

Incorrect diagnosis is already a problem in mental health-- attempts at self diagnosis typically only compound the problem. It's one of those areas where you really want patients to go and report unbiased experiences (in so far as that is possible even without preconceived self diagnosis)

Decoherence is the normally proposed solution. Unlike collapse, it wouldn't be the only non-linear, non-unitary, discontinuous operator in all of quantum mechanics. It doesn't give Born's rule, but as long as we're allowed to derive Born's rule by saying "and the wavefunction obeys Born's rule" that's not a mark against it.

The main problem with the Copenhagen interpretation is it's too vague. Some say it up involves collapse as a physical process, some say it doesn't. Whatever collapse is in Copenhagen, it is fundamental.

In many worlds, collapse is a subjective and approximate phenomena, not something fundamental.
> They flipped a switch and a lot of sites broke, then fixed themselves.

No. This isn't a thing that happened.

Certificates which lack SANs matching a DNS name claimed as Common Name had been non-compliant since PKIX last century. So in the subsequent decade plus the big problem was identifying CAs which were flouting these rules and then getting them to understand what they'd done wrong and stop doing it. That's something which CA/B (the CA/B BRs forbade this from the outset) and m.d.s.policy were getting good traction on by 2013 or so, but Certificate Transparency (initially seeded by Google's "Googlebot" robots before the Chrome mandate) represents a sea change beyond that because now finding non-compliant certificates was a trivial SQL query. And that took such non-compliant certificates from "rare but you will find them if you look hard" to "extinct" very quickly indeed.

Even when there were still a few technically non-compliant certificates out there, they wouldn't break Chrome, the usual non-compliance went like this:

Say you own a site with an IDN https://xn--d1abbgf6aiiy.xn--p1ai/ and so the DNS entry for that is xn--d1abbgf6aiiy.xn--p1ai - your SAN DnsName will say xn--d1abbgf6aiiy.xn--p1ai because that's how SANs work, but you persuade the issuing CA to write президент.рф in the Common Name instead of xn--d1abbgf6aiiy.xn--p1ai because it looks nicer.

[ NB Hacker News won't show the IDN to most (any?) of you but imagine you're a Russian and your web browser shows this URL in Cyrillic not as Punycode ]

This is non-compliant with PKIX, because this Common Name doesn't match any of the SANs. It can't because it's Unicode and none of the SANs can express Unicode [IpAddress SANs are numbers, and DnsName SANs are restricted to a simple alphabet suitable for writing names of hosts in DNS]. But it doesn't cause any problems for Chrome because the SANs match the real DNS names of the server, the Common Name is just decorative garbage that doesn't match anything.
As you say, at various points the A funcs were talked about as legacy or deprecated. WinCE did not have them. During the win7 era refactor of things like kernel32 and advapi, they were also kind of deprioritized, left in the compatibility wrapper and not the first class interfaces. I haven't followed in recent years but when WinRT was coming on the scene they were talking about not including them?

But I think of the canonical name as not having either A or W. Rather what you get for TCHAR is a per compilation unit setting, and the A or W in the linker name is sort of an implementation detail. That is to say I'd internalized the world the macros presented, and labelled that as "what makes sense". In particular it is distracting from the semantics of the APIs to have the string type show up in the name.

If they could do c++ style name mangling in plain C I feel like they might've and it'd be somewhat more "pure". The macro thing feels like sort of a hack to achieve this.

> systemd is the choice of basically everyone who builds distros

Even if we ignore the fact that systemd made it artificially difficult* for distros to support other init systems (so it wasn't a freely made "choice"), have you never encountered a situation where the popular choice turned out to be the wrong one? Think, for example, of people throwing their trash into nearby rivers, or developers using 2 digits to store year values.

(* Imagine being a volunteer for a distro and having to deal with bugs like "I installed my new printer and it changed my init system[0] / my system no longer boots").

> So floppies are RLL too.

Yes, in the strict sense of the word. But I think that back in the day MFM indicated a specific (and simple) subset of RLL, while RLL disks were using more efficient encoding.

The SuperDisk came out in 96, but the technology for RLL was around in the early 90s (since it was popular for hard drives), and could have used the same media as regular disks, essentially giving you more space "for free" (kinda like formatting disks as DMF, but better), at a time where the floppy was THE media

The truth of the matter is that I'll call anybody a Karen who is dumb enough to deserve the label. I don't care about color they are I don't care where they're from I don't care what they look like or how their hairstyle is done or what they're wearing or how many kids they have or how rich they are or how poor they are. I could have just as easily said a***e.

But I chose Karen because people who act like a Karen are idiots.
