Oh I am all for laser defense, I was merely pointing out that op is correct in that a system like this will likely go wrong some how. But I honestly don't think they would use them in household setting but rather use them on the outskirts or around ponds and use it for other pests in fields away from human eyes.
I think you’re right. The Linux open source environment is increasingly built and maintained for companies, not individual users. And this isn’t going to change. Mainstream Linux will be built and maintained for profit, open source or not.
They didn't fare much better with alien shapeshifters, either.
I take an unprescribed focus drug every day, and it works wonders for me: Caffeine. I genuinely function so much better with it, I have no idea how I was productive at all before it.

Yikes.
>That money comes from the poor suckers who are grinding away, buying Axies and hoping to make money. This is zero-sum, remember.

If you're poor, you're not buying those shitty tokens. The poor are the ones selling the goods for the tokens, which are purchased by people with enough disposable income to spend on digital "things".

If you have $100 to spend on an outfit for your avatar in some game, I have no problem if some family in the Philippines gets o eat for a month as a result.

that made me think "what a great term"
There is a multi-thousand word article about HN in the New Yorker...so seems like covered territory: https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-silicon-valley/th...
If your goal is maximizing money then you are somewhat correct. But that's not a good goal to have.

And even if it was ... Work is overrated. As a way to make money and altogether.

If you are in a place where they are giving you unfairly large amount of money for doing something ... sure, stay there for a while. Otherwise move. Don't think you'll be retiring at 57 or 62. Life is not that easy to predict. If you stay in the wrong place you'll never retire. And if you move to the right place in your life you might retire before you are 40.

> Due to compounding interest, a dollar made in your 20's is far, far more valuable than a dollar made in your 60's.

For me that doesn't sound solid as well. Inflation compounds too and black swan events of your life show up occasionally. In your 20's you earn so little that you can't save much, and just 10 lazy years into your career you'd be earning so much that you'd be saving many times more than you were earning in your 20s. If you don't burn stacks of cash to warm your soul, as you accumulate more knowledge and expeirience, money just starts accumulating on their own once you reach a certain age if you remained mobile and just went where their are paing best.
Privacy is the ability to express and enforce limitations on access to and distribution of information of, by, or about you. It is an emergent principle, and its own scope and definition expand precisely as information technologies do. In an age of speech, it concerns gossip, hearsay, and slander. In an age of print, libel. It has expanded with photography, telephony, improved optics and sensing (long lenses, infrared imaging, microwave scanning of structures), and with ever-expanding data storage, processing, and distribution.

In response to an earlier discussion where it was asserted that concerns over privacy in information technology are somehow a post-1980s phenomenon,[1] I compiled a list of notable persons in the field who'd voiced concern earlier, one of the most notable being Paul Baran, a co-inventor of packet-switched networks whilst working at RAND in the 1960s. At my request, his RAND monographs are now freely accessible to the public. I especially recommend:

Paul Baran:

- "On the Engineer's Responsibility in Protecting Privacy"

- "On the Future Computer Era: Modification of the American Character and the Role of the Engineer, or, A Little Caution in the Haste to Number"

- "The Coming Computer Utility -- Laissez-Faire, Licensing, or Regulation?"

- "Remarks on the Question of Privacy Raised by the Automation of Mental Health Records"

- "Some Caveats on the Contribution of Technology to Law Enforcement"

Largely written/published 1967--1969.

https://www.rand.org/pubs/authors/b/baran_paul.html

This list was compiled in response to an earlier HN thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24745246

I've shortened the submission title slightly to fit HN's character limits.
> we'd just have a bunch of grown up kids.

…and?
Stories like this are why I'm absolutely terrified to have kids. Just beyond mortified, seriously.
Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is if you _didnt_ have ADHD as a child it's unlikely you have it as an adult.

So your assertion that it's a "disorder they likely didn’t have at an extremely early stage in their development" seems to be totally off the mark. Speaking as someone who really wishes their parents had medicated them for their childhood ADHD diagnosis. It likely would have saved me a lot of pain, heartache and C's in middle and high school. Not to mention college.
> You think your gonna wind surf when your 60?

No.

Yes.

Not to mention there are entire categories of games, not just particular titles, that are not supported on Linux and might never be. I'm a sim racer and without high quality drivers for my gear it's a total non starter, even if the games were supported (they are not). Then there's the competitive gaming scene where most serious anti cheat systems are not supported in Linux and may never be.
Ultimately it's just one elegantly simple equation that defines the entire field and all of the complexity of rendering realistic graphics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_equation

Unfortunately it is impossible to solve for real-world scenarios so we just keep refining and refining better estimates. :)
the strict health measures are the quarantines and consequences of testing. what happens if someone tests positive?
I tried out CentOS Stream when it first released, and I must say I'm pleased with it so far.
It’s systemic. Nobody is scheming in a backroom. They are selecting solutions to problems as they come. Liberalism and capitalism is all it’s ever taken to royally ruin a society.
Kids are a whole different amazing experience though.

I’m glad I got wasted and partied in my youth. I’m glad I travelled and saw different countries. I’m glad I dated a bunch and fell in love with several women. I’m glad I held a few jobs through most of that and have the career I do now. I’m glad I’m with my amazing wife and our two young kids bring joy and light into every day. I’m glad I sunk a bunch of time/money (once) into buying and fixing up a place.

A lot of these responses seem to imply it’s either/or. That’s not the case at all, and indeed I’d say doing any ONE thing for your life, even if it’s laying in a hammock on a tropical beach, gets boring after a while.

Mix it up. Variety is the spice of life. Savor the world in this one life you have. I’d say the one rule is not to F-up so badly you can’t recover from it.
I think a large amount of the ADHD symptoms can be mitigated with lifestyle habits. Proper sleep, moving the body, getting sun, meditating, proper nutrition, managing dopamine disrupting activities (e.g. mindlessly scrolling TikTok or watching porn), etc. all improve ADHD symptoms.

Medication should be the last resort, only for severe cases, or perhaps not used every day so that the brain can recover. 4 day on and 3 days off seem to be a popular dosing schedule by some mindful advocates.

Of course, it’s incredibly difficult to do all the things mentioned above to aid optimal dopamine levels.

The way our society operates, it’s much easier to take the shortcut and pop some amphetamine after you wake up to get your day going.

Exceptions apply to legit, severe cases.

Your point on the learning difficulties imposed by unity's obfuscation is very important.
Everyone has a price....at least I believe that is what Zuck is thinking of. Meta is his goldmine. He needs miners for his Meta goldmine at whatever the price is. If he offer a pay....say worth twice what one can get at Apple, it is worthwhile for some to try their luck in Meta. 10 years wasted in Meta will only be 5 years missing in Apple for example. It still will look good in one resume having been "land developer" or "founding fathers and mothers" in Metaverse.
I'd say it depends on context and just how bad it is. I'm in the embedded world and I often advocate for rewrites. As an example the current code bases I maintain has code that persist certain (per product) information to flash which dates all the way back to EEPROM. That is it doesn't take into account wear leveling, it's not power loss resilient, it's copy-pasted between numerous code bases except one implementation which is shared between several products, it relies on a ton of undefined behavior, it's a bad design, has no tests, and not all of our products can even be updated. Realistically there is no fixing this. It's also just one part of a larger whole that will eventually collapse into technical bankruptcy while a competitor leap frogs us.

Embedded is certainly a different world though. The complexity really comes from the fact that 95% of the code is custom, generally poorly designed without tests, and then duplicated and modified over and over again. So rewrites can be very successful in my realm if upper management can be convinced.
Clients are either public or confidential. Confidential clients have a registered credential (cert, secret) that's used to prove that eg your server backend is actually your server backend.
Would've appreciated some books on this list if people still use those or YouTube tutorials would be great too!
I guess I don't see the practical application. These will fill with grime in days if not seconds, depending on application. A torque wrench and loctite more or less make something like this unnecessary.

If it's for some specific scientific applications, more power to them. But let's not pretend they just saw something so obvious everyone else has been missing.

Edit to add: I actually feel like these should be reverse designed. A small tit that sticks up would probably be much more evident than a hole in most applications.
I was referring to Manifest v3, not uBlock Origin.
This, to me, sounds like someone who just doesn’t like the challenge of creating their own narrative. Of course it can be easier to just get lost in books and lectures: those are narratives that are ready made and pre-packaged. It’s much more work to walk into a situation and define your own. But it makes you a much more interesting person.
> I'm not sure what nit you are picking

RAW photos are not “just” uncompressed versions of the JPEGs your camera usually gives you. That would be a TIFF. Rather, they contain raw sensor data.
No. The motives of people posing questions isn't relevant. The only thing that matters is the inherent quality of the questioning itself.
> Go windsurfing for a year in Ibiza after college, and you're adding 5 years to your working life

There's only one decade that you're going to be in your 20s dating other 20 year olds and going around with friends who are mostly unmarried.

As with anything there is a balance. Working too much or too little can cause problems.
Not at all. If your road in life reaches a certain level of fulfillment, you stop thinking about what could have been and spend your days counting your blessings.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a false positive due to the CDC is now recommending against PCR tests as they can’t tell between corona or the flu. I hate to say it but I think some of the people who were saying the numbers were wrong might be right, we might have been counting the flu this whole time along with the coronavirus.

Thanks for that link. Of course it's going to be cherrypicked extremes, but it's interesting to see what's going on out there.
Probably because it’s where a lot of us ended up when we got old and stopped wanting to fiddle with settings. I’m sure Linux will one day catch up to where Mac products are and simply work out of the box without hassle, and maybe they are already there.

But I switched from Linux to osX after 10-15 years because I got tired of having to ever really deal with the OS.
BFF is not great for long term security, notably token binding. It's hard enough to bind an artifact to the browser session from the IDP - having each app implement binding passthrough from browser to app to IDP is even worse.
Lot of interesting ideas to move computation close to where the data reside can be found in this paper: http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/dan.olteanu/papers/soc-sigmod16.pdf this is an example of how linear regression can be implemented which is intimately related to the article.
I wanted to do something similar but it was related to an idea I wanted to also try. The project was a dashcam that could determine the velocity of other vehicles. Some implementation of OpenCV is what I thought may work. It was the triangulation part I wasn't sure about which I think is vital to get it to work.

Hong Gil-Dong is a Robin Hood-like figure versed in Korean martial arts. An added bonus is that he's recorded as a real person (even if it's likely that his antics might have been exaggerated by his chroniclers). He's popular enough among Koreans to have adaptations made about him from both sides of the DMZ.

It's definitely going to drop back below 50% over the next week or two, although I suspect the base level will go over 50% at some point this year.
The biology is even more interesting than I thought. These things have brains, which shut down, then reboot when they rehydrate. Wow!
Same here for the work VPN which has multiple IPv4 addresses and wireguard interfaces.

IPv6 works effortless for all traffic, while IPv4 is only limited to internal.
I'd guess a standardized codepage marker like a "start of CP[932]” ｉｓ ｇｏｉｎｇ ｔｏ ｂｅ ｎｅｃｅｓｓａｒｙ CP[1252] at each CP switches but it might be just a necessity. Han unification is a well known problem to Far Eastern but Unicode normalization problem is basically the same as that.
It's not a philosophical assertion, it is very much a falsifiable claim. We can find problems where there was a scientific solution and a non science based solution and see which was more effective. The problem is, without statistics most solutions cannot even be evaluated in anything but the most ludicrous, angels dancing on pins ways.
- Why do i need to conform to social mores?
- Why must i accommodate myself to "popular culture"?

Grow up.

Worrying about these questions is not unique, nor special. You're trying to find an escape hatch to reality. Those do not exist.

If you want to really effect change, stop focusing on the why, and start focusing on the how. We have enough armchair philosophers to last a lifetime.

As a data point - as a longtime Linux user, I hadn't tried Linux Gaming for a very long time until recently. On a fresh machine, I installed POPos, Lutris, Steam and a few other things I forget.

I've yet to find a game that didn't work. Triple-A stuff too. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I've yet to find it. I'm guessing there's a performance hit but that's just a guess - I haven't seen it.

By far the most challenging was Assetto Corsa which took an hour of installing sequential versions of Dotnet, but even that works flawlessly now. Including a Driving wheel, pedals, etc. (Logitech 920).

Seriously -- Steam/Proton/Vulkan has come such a long way.

Instructional: Install Steam.. goto Settings.. then "Steam Play". Turn on Steam Play and install Proton (either Experimental or the Latest non-Experimental). Lutris (for GoG) will instruct you on needed Wine.
(from bitter experience): Also consider periodically taking the backup and spinning it up on a separate host/VM.

And then codifying those steps into a script, so that if the time ever comes, restoring from backups is less of a fire drill.
It reminds me of http://dresdencodak.com/2009/04/19/onald-creely/ , which meant a lot to me when I was younger for no reason that I can explain.
Heya. I own Microsoft Oauth2. We use JWTs for our access tokens. (the consumer service uses encrypted tokens, yes).

Auth0 just championed the RFC for a standard for JWTs as access tokens too, largely informed by the architect there working on our access token format.

CAEP and RISC are how we're tackling revocation. Encrypted JWTs handle PII.

Oauth is a fantastic way to scale complexity - the whole "first party" consideration here is a red herring. Do you think we want Outlook calling the Exchange backend via a different auth protocol from the one we tell 3p clients to use? That's a waste of time to go build.

We also just added support for the JWTs emitted by Google and AWS, so that you can token exchange their JWTs for an access token in our ecosystem.
For sure, and that is likely part of the reason that their "raw" options are a flattened image.
> Life isn't short--it's LONG, and you have a brief moment in that life to maximize your preparation for the rest of it.

The reality of life is that you don't know how long it will last, or for how long you'll have the physical, mental and/or emotional health to enjoy it.

You could make hay while the sun shines, only to get hit by a typhoon (literal or figurative) and find that no amount of money will restore your ability to enjoy life to its fullest. Wealth can't always buy health, and when your number is called for good, there's no amount of money you can pay the Grim Reaper to spare you.

My mom used to work with a man who was big on the "make hay while the sun shines" approach to life. He had his Hawaiian retirement planned out to the last detail and even though he was able to retire early, ran the numbers and delayed retiring by a few years so that he could further maximize his pension.

He did make it to Hawaii, but died less than a year into his retirement.

> Every morsel you make and save early means your retirement comes earlier. There will never be a more efficient time to earn those days of leisure that will come later if you stay healthy.

But what is "retirement"?

The biggest flaw I've personally witnessed with this line of thinking is that when you're young, your concept of "leisure" and what you'd do with "leisure time" is different than what "leisure" and "leisure time" is realistically going to look like as you age. Put simply, a day of leisure isn't the same at 25 versus 55. Heck, it's not even likely to be the same at 25 versus 40 for the average person.

While this doesn't mean that older people aren't able to enjoy life, even the healthiest people 50+ on average have various issues that people in their 20s and 30s typically don't have. These issues can make it more difficult and/or less pleasurable to engage in various activities, especially those that are highly physical or require peak mental acuity and stamina.

As an example, I'm an avid traveler. Elderly travel doesn't look anywhere near as pleasurable as young and middle-aged travel. And I've been to plenty of places where older people are highly limited in their ability to enjoy activities (i.e. you're far less likely to be able to trek 15km in steep, jungle terrain to catch a glimpse of a rare species when you're 65 than when you're 35).
Social mores are a chesterton's fence - they exist for a reason. That may be a terrible reason, but there is _some_ reason. Identify the reason and then reject it, but until you identify the reason you can't form a meaningful response.
Depending on what you can code you still have options! Make sure you have a small portfolio available before you try any of these.

- 1. Make your own business (web dev contracting is your best bet). Go to friends and family or small businesses in town and ask if they need help with their web presence. Offer to work per project - say $100 - $200 for small projects. There is very high upside to this if you stick at it.

- 2. Email local professors and ask if they need programming help. Many university research projects have funding and need to hire a code monkey or two (no offense). I'm a part time graduate student and my university sends out lots of requests like these. You can also check with the university career center to see if such an opportunity is open.

- 3. Upwork - you can do contracting on these sites. Start small, build your presence.

In every case, it's about slowly building your credibility, skills, and pool of connections. Graduating from university gives you a big jump start in all of these areas, but the 'game' remains the same.
For years now I've been kinda-sorta working on a plan involving making funky peripherals, small toy computers, and large flying machines based on cellular kites and the Magnus effect.

"How accurate are online polls?"

[M]ost online polls that use participants who volunteer to take part do not have a proven record of accuracy. There are at least two reasons for this. One is that not everyone in the U.S. uses the internet, and those who do not are demographically different from the rest of the public. Another reason is that people who volunteer for polls may be different from other people in ways that could make the poll unrepresentative. At worst, online polls can be seriously biased if people who hold a particular point of view are more motivated to participate than those with a different point of view.

https://www.pewresearch.org/2010/12/29/how-accurate-are-onli...

Rather than serve as accurate assessments of public opinion or beliefs, online polls at best surface sentiments and potential areas of interest. Some are mere amusements. Many serve a darker purpose of advocating for a specific cause or ideology (a "push poll" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_poll), fishing for either insights on how audiences might be manipulated through advertising or propaganda, or outright soliciting personal information that is of use in hacking into accounts by guessing passwords or so-called "security questions".
Very common phenomenon on the internet. Wait till you hear about this other disorder where you people in their 30s believe they are changing the world by working for some corporate company which pushes 5 second videos to teens.
Fair, I would rephrase by saying, accept this instance of burnout, then reflect on the trajectory that got us there. Burnout passes, it's just a matter of mitigating the consequences when it happens. If you are in a high friction situation, we need to apply our intelligence to changing those circumstances or finding new ones that are enriching instead of grinding in an environment that isn't going to change. Burnout is like being down a hole you can't dig out of, and if you're willing to consider that you just suck at something (even if you're actually pretty good), it depersonalizes it enough to step back and climb out. But again, fair call on my phrasing and tone, thank you.
