It's tough... at 47 I'm old enough to have felt the decades past turn into a scant handful of memories. When you're older, the past matters less. The now matters more. Not being able to pay for good health care matters. Not being able to eat what you want or take vacations matters. When you're old, you realize "Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone" and you have the now to worry about. But I don't know, even if I can't remember all of it, some of what I did when I was younger made me who I am now. I'd say plan on working until you're at least 50 and taking some time to smell the roses, especially if you have kids.

The other thing I've realized being old: if you're going to have kids, have them young. There is absolutely nothing on this earth which is as valuable as the time you'll have with your children. I've waited until late in life to have kids, and it strikes me now that it means I might not ever get to meet my grandkids. I'll have decades less time with my kids to pass on advice and support them. I think if there's anything I'd trade my youth for, it's spending time raising kids. I'd gladly work a few hard years in my 40s and 50s for that privilege.

But of course, there could have been more quarantining.
Very, very few people pay such an amount yet stay many years legally. There's some "fluidity" in the system.
Not every village was like that.

People in the past did celebrated with friends and family, but it also involved drinking and music and general partying. Kids were generally present until they were sent to sleep.

There were taverns and pubs where people went to drink and be noisy too.

That is what I got from my grandparents and parents. And when I read memoirs (from wwii and such), people mentioned very party like a activities too.

I haven't really seen many of those signs in Tokyo. I could imagine that in resort towns they want to keep tourists out? Having tourists who don't understand what those places is asking for trouble I guess.
I challenge any non-ADHD person to do the following for a week:

* Sleep only 5 hours a day

* Spend 5 hours on TikTok every day

* Eat a diet of mostly processed carbohydrates

* Stay sedentary all day

Let’s see if this person starts showing ADHD symptoms after a week. Should we start medicating them?

I am not saying that there are no _legit_ cases of ADHD when it is indeed genetic or trauma based that cannot be easily fixed by lifestyle changes. There are people who really need the meds. But I am betting that that these people are only a very low percentage of the currently medicated ones.
I'm arrogant beyond belief and a self-absorbed asshole. I'm absolutely comfortable with that and feel no need to change. I can point out multiple situations in my personal life where this has been massively advantageous for my own psychology.

By the way, some of the most valuable people in our societies are borderline horrible arrogant narcissists. I don't see people not using the knowledge that Isaac Newton shared with us, because he was a horrible person...
I honestly think that if he saw a shrink and worked on "his issues" (by today's standards) he would have lobotomized himself.

Nietzsche had a good intuition about people that optimize for full manifestation of the self in reality, but was kind of naive what qualities these people would exhibit. It is the entire package, not only the "good parts" (by today's standards)
You can even export a SVG that embeds the drawio source. This is how I make diagrams for my projects: I can display them directly from my README, and after editing them in Draw.io's Visual Studio Code extension, I don't have to go through another export step.

One thing I've found very frustrating is the increasing use of Oauth2 for simple API use-cases (ie I have a service that needs to call an API to fetch some data, not on behalf of any user and there's no third-party involved, aka a 2-party system that in theory should be entirely server-to-server).

In theory, you should be able to use client_credentials / 2-legged flow to simplify this, but many APIs don't support that, so you end up with an awkward flow where you are 2 of the 3 parties.
I've lived here for two years and my Japanese is still not great, though getting better all the time.

Both the highs and the lows have been bigger than I expected. I've loved the place on the whole but there have definitely been significant downsides too. If you don't like the culture I'd be very cautious about coming here.
Very normal.

You've got to be kidding. Effective antiviral drugs aren't at all benign; it would be completely unethical to administer them on a prophylactic basis to healthy patients who don't even have a confirmed exposure. There is no reliable evidence that showers are effective for controlling respiratory viruses. OTC cough suppressants are nearly useless, barely better than placebos.

Thank you for sharing your cycle and wise words at the end. That is a very refreshing lesson and reminder.
I can't help thinking the usage model you want is more like a router or network appliance than a normal web server.

Have you considered running your software on a synology box or similar high end NAS?

Not sure it would work well if exposed to the internet, but if it's a small group and limited network access it could be quite a simple solution.
My understanding is that the 'responsible' path can have groups pursue you while they try to cover up and deflect blame, instead of fixing the problem. Going down that path does not sound very responsible to me.
>The APIs, although they are not easily interchangeable, use the same hardware and can often do the same things with a bit of effort.

Actually it's the other way round. GPU architectures can vary wildly especially when you include mobile GPUs which are tiling architectures. Graphics APIs are the least common denominator interface that makes targeting all of them possible.
Someone who works in this sort of industry told a friend of mine that they are hired by a company that is contracted to the adult company but the adult company and the contractor company are owned/controlled by the same individuals. This way no one has to list some porn company as their past employer. If this was not done very few people would ever work for an adult company since it would immediately turn man future employers off.
Honestly, why would you bother with Disney’s boring incarnation of Pooh when you’ve got Shepherd’s original illustrations?
So many words and not one single mention of ray tracing, that's pretty disappointing.

As someone who's spent basically their entire career in offline rendering, it never fails to surprise me how many people think that using someone else's API is the alpha and the omega of GP.

A now-former coworker of mine had walking pneumonia in 2019. He didn't know it was pneumonia until he eventually went to the hospital, but he had been suffering from severe unexplained back pain for days. It wasn't pleasant, and he went to the hospital because his back pain was so bad he was barely able to function.
wrong post? :)
I think "intention" isn't quite the right way to characterize it. I do think you are correct.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... shows mostly intention:

Scanning to find one which was a closer fit to the quoted example:

That's the only such I found after scanning through 19 pages / 4 months of comments.

That is, most of the HN comments use the phrase to describe a class of possibilities, or state the intention but not the actual solution, rather describe the intention behind a specific design.
Basic git flow operations are straightforward. I taught a few graduates who had no prior vcs experience and they had no problem with day to day stuff. Because git is truly a powerful tool its ux becomes complicated once you need to do something beyond the simple operations.
Exactly. If they start getting used at all, I hope the feature gets disabled.
Ha ha lol what? In the grand scheme of things its a tiny amount of money for a bank with a €1tr balance sheet, the overhead of recovering the cash, not to mention the poor publicity, will be enormously costly, but most of all, how exactly is paying out £100m from the banks own funds supposed to benefit the bank??

(btw this actually will increase the banks leverage, which according you i imagine they'd want to be reducing, plus will negatively impact the banks CET1 capital, so all in all not beneficial in anyway whatsoever)
This reads like a very childish piece, something I would have written at 16 when nobody in my little province town would read the same hard books I liked, or listened to the same intellectually stimulating music as me.

People are different and from that difference comes knowledge.
What OP is missing is the interesting different point of views he missed from leaving all of those parties early.

I’m honestly a bit surprised about how this piece got so high on here. I guess that caters to a lot of our inevitable self-entitlement as an online community
Yes, I am unable to download the updates.
I think its just popping into your view a bit more right now, I'd attribute it to variance more than anything. I personally see more iron-manning of arguments here than facile "So you think XYZ, therefor ABC, checkmate atheists" sort of stuff.
Just like when any other issue arises that requires hospitalization.
I’m sure the snack bars cater to Japanese tourists, these are resort towns and the snack bars line the main tourist streets. But the fact that they also attract a few foreign tourists (because we also enjoy onsens) they need the signs.
While I don't completely disagree with the sentiment here, I agree more with the GP suggesting that YC started with great intentions (let's give makers a little money and support and minimal bullshit and see what they make) and that HN as a community has improved many peoples lives (mine included). But yes, it evolved into something different.

My question is what solution are you advocating? Abolish YC? Outlaw starting businesses? I don't see your solution.
Your comment said that C++ would solve it, I was merely pointing out that Rust can solve it identically to C++ by side stepping the borrow checker. You can do so without any performance penalties as well and the code would function identically to the way it does in C++.
> some of the git's naming was also not intuitive for me

For me this was (and is) the main source of "what is this and how do I use it" problems. Git is supposed to be an advanced tool to make snapshots of a folder, save them in a tree structure with multiple leaves, combine or even modify them, keep a copy remotely, etc.

So, you are probably expecting to find a "save" command, an "upload/download", maybe a "combine snapshots", and for more advance tools an "edit history". But instead you have "commit", "push/pull", "merge" and "rebase". Those are less intuitive (specially for non English speakers) so you end using only the few ones someone told you to use.

Once I realized what "fixup" was and how to use it I can't stop using it.

Git model is no so complex, the naming is, so it's like learning a whole new language and it takes time.
> then they would not be forcing us to go through these otherwise-draconian and insane mandates or lockdowns.

Your faith in the government acting benevolently is surprising. There is the phrase "never let a good crisis go to waste"
I have never thought of the word "should" like that before. Thank you for that. I will keep a better eye on how and when I use it.

This is also the second time someone mentioned martial arts in here, so I guess that means it's something worth looking into!

Thank you for sharing :)
it's funny, but maybe also auto-correct.

I would say the issue isn't so much "interests" as it is what one finds stimulating. Most people are content to discuss the surface-level, but moving up the intellectual curve, the conversation needs to be deeper in order to be satisfying.

Another problem being that most people cannot handle disagreement. If you want to discuss an idea that often leads to disagreement. True intellectuals relish an opposing viewpoint, whereas the vast majority of people wonder why you're being an asshole. The fact that most people cannot handle respectful disagreement in search of a deeper understanding is a problem they have, but a burden placed on others.

And of course most people who would call themselves "intellectual" are actually in the latter category.
> By the way, some of the most valuable people in our societies are borderline horrible arrogant narcissists.

I don't know if there is any data/research on being successful or valuable requiring an arrogant narcissistic personality. I believe it doesn't. If anything, such people became successful despite having such difficult personalities.
There is an added benefit of 'security' every device in your home could have their ipv6 address and because it is 128 bit, it would be harder to guess or perform internet wide port scans.
Or perhaps because people should not be divided into the two extremes of antivax conspiracy theorists and infinite lockdown aficionados.

That’s just a convenient fallacy to dismiss criticism.

You bring up a good point - a big part of the dissatisfaction could be from never finishing something. I'll lost out my projects, tasks, and goals for the year and pick 1 or 2 to focus on really well and work on them one at a time.

I saw this YouTube video (https://youtu.be/yg0opil8TMA) (amazing channel too) about finishing what you start and I really liked it.

Thank you for sharing!
No matter how many times I do it, i have troubke squashing.

Yep. People tend to underestimate the power of truly random sampling. For questions with a roughly equal split, a poll of just 100 people properly selected randomly from a population of 100 million has 99% confidence of being within 12% of the value you would get if you sampled the entire 100 million. This falls to 4% with a sample of 1000.

Respectfully, version control is not necessarily easy, and even with other versioning tools (they already exist, and some purport to be easier than git), you still have to think about what you're trying to do. I see this attitude a lot with new developers, and it's troubling. Of course git is hard; what part of computing _isn't_ hard? Git is a hell of a lot easier than, say, debugging a kernel panic, or solving a tricky race condition. If the vast majority of developers can't get by without learning anything beyond clone-commit-push, then I truly fear for our industry, because I am thoroughly average, and I have a pretty good idea of what git is up to when I run commands.

Git might not have the best interface, and you could argue for different models, but some of this stuff just takes time and effort to learn. This is an important lesson for new developers to learn: some of this stuff is not, in fact, easy, and I don't where this expectation that it is comes from. It reflects a disturbing trend of learned helplessness I've noticed from newer developers. Computers are hard, but if you want to be the expert, you're going to have to figure it out. I don't think we need easier version control, I think we need developers who are willing to learn hard things.
it only gets milder and endemic. so u will be the only worrier left.

I just use MusicBee (on Wine/Linux) and always download purchases to the same directory which is watched by a script. Whenever I download a .zip, it extracts them, does album mp3 gain and opens a visual id3 tag editor (I just quickly scan through the tags - 7digital are fuckers for messing with album names, release dates etc). Once that's done I open MusicBee and it imports the tracks, moving them to the "correct" location based on metadata. I have a daily backup job to a NAS, and a weekly to a cheap cloud service (so I can undo any bad changes that I did to my files for up to a week)

I had opposite experience. I attempted to start reading fiction again multiple times. Most books were boring. That includes classics - they were much less great then I remembered. It includes also pure "for fun" books.

Some did interested me, but they were rare. When I have to try 15 books to find 1 I like, it becomes frustrating and expensive.
Marc Twain had a technique to create text of value.

If you hear some news, notice your immediate reaction. Everyone thinks the same thing, so dump that thought in the litter. Same for your second immediate reaction. The third or fourth reaction are maybe different enough to merit writing down.
I’m gonna laugh my way into the new year with downvotes because I dared to think my city is also pleasant to live in and say so.
The biggest change that someone like this needs to make is to simply take an interest in what other people are doing.

Yes, a lot of people simply vegetate in front of media. Sure, avoid them.

However, when you find someone who does something be interested in what they do. Even if you think it's boring as hell, if they find it interesting, engage them on it. First, you will be surprised how often you find out that it isn't as boring or straightforward as you thought. Second, the topic will eventually turn to something else that you will probably find far more interesting.

Finally, you will get a reputation as someone interesting to engage with. And that opens the doors to even more interesting people because they people standing around thinking "man the people at this party are boring" will want to engage with you.
I think that there much better approaches to your problem than to just wack a great big car park on the outskirts.

For instance if you don’t have a car, the money save from not having a large piece of machinery sitting around most of the time would probably more than make up for a few train tickets. Another option is car share fleets which allow you to split costs and avoid a cost of owning a car.

Even with electric cars, cities should still be designed for people rather than cars. Electric cars are still a massive burden on the environment so we shouldn’t be aiming for most people to have their own.
Ah, I've been using the betas and release candidates for a while now. Amazing it's finally stable, thank you.

Also, I don't necessarily blame clap for being heavyweight. Argument parsing is hard, and clap does it well - with nice help output!

I've also accepted the cost of proc macros (at least while syn is not in the standard library). For me, the derived style where I get populated structures out is well worth it.

Of course, any improvement is welcome. But clap works great for me, and is a dependency I happily pull in.
That’s not what it says, it says they want to do a new test that can detect both and differentiate between the two.

The cynical take would be that that would mean they can order quarantines for the flu as well, of course.

That obviously has a scammy vibe. If only Californians can opt out, then why is their database and their business not limited to California?
Or more likely the common thread here is Antarctica and the fact that not everything dies when it freezes.
Hmm, I used to have a lot of discussions like that in high school because there was a whole group of like minded people, but after that such discussions just didn’t really happen any more in my circle of friends.

Nice write-up. I love finding little exploits like that.

On my first day in jail I took a look at the law library PC. It was a Windows Vista machine locked down to only allow one law application to run. So I hit Print and went into the print settings for the HP Laserjet. In there it has a button to click for ordering new supplies from hp.com. Hitting that bypassed the lockdown and opened up IE. From there I just used the file:// protocol like this guy to browse to explorer.exe and launch Windows Explorer and gain full control of the desktop.
