Personally, I don't like using the built-in PDF reader. Its annotations are in a proprietary format and aren't reflected in the PDF itself (which is how Zotero can keep track of them, because they're in its own format). That may work for some users/use-cases, but I like annotations to the PDF to be burned into the PDF, in case I'm using other programs as well. (I know you can export the PDF, but that's a whole other step).

Admittedly, the upside of using the built-in PDF reader is that you can have a seamless experience between desktop and mobile. But the reader itself doesn't have all the features I need.

Personally, I use Zotero + PDFExpert. The killer feature being to crop (desktop) or auto-crop (iPad) PDFs of papers, which often have an obscene amount of whitespace.

The nice thing about Zotero is that it's open enough to support both of our usage habits.
"Facetious" is neither here nor there when it comes to flamebait, which your GP comment plainly was.

Your account isn't blocked from submitting posts. Your account is rate-limited (because of a pattern of posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments), and the rate limit doesn't distinguish between submissions and comments, so that's what you were probably running into.
Exciting! Now only if they can find the origins of the original virus.
I left a partner who has OCD and probably some other issues that cause massive mood swings and make her do a lot of irrational things. I tried for years to help and be understanding. It never really got better, never ending ending, often self-made problems kept coming and it reached a point where I felt either we go both down or I have to leave. So I left. I feel guilty to some degree but it was also clear that I couldn't help. The interesting part is that me leaving her seems to have woken her up and she has a much better attitude now.

This makes me wonder if putting people with mental problems into a new situation away from family can break some of the negative patterns. My sister used to live with my parents for many years, barely left the home besides for work and in general just hated life. Then she went to a six month stationery treatment and you could see with very visit how she did better. Now she has her own place and an OK life . Maybe family or partners can prolong mental problems? Even if they want to help it's possible they are also contributing to the problem.

For one, we don't have a good enough understanding of those things to be able to test adults definitively, so it's a moot point.

That being said, if there was a test for ADHD and I knew what the odds were that my child would have ADHD, as someone with ADHD I would seriously consider whether or not I wanted to have kids or subject another human to that.

So, I don't think it's necessarily wrong, in some universe, but there's a line between adversities for which you can still overcome and thrive (the ones you listed) versus the sorts of things prenatal tests check for where, if they do have these conditions they are either dead on arrival, dead soon after, will wish they were dead for most of their lives, or at the very least will never be a contributing member of society.

I don't think the comparison you draw is fair.

It's possible that several scientists in the relevant fields already have well-founded suspicions regarding this. As soon as political developments allow them to share their knowledge without endangering their funding, we might hear about it.

Kernel builds have been getting slower, not faster. You aren't going to make up the gains, because other things will slow you down again. Therefore, this improvement will be at least a linear improvement in kernel build times for the foreseeable future, if not possibly supra-linear depending on how things work out.

A while back, I put a little in my budget for small projects. Some are software, others are writing, whatever.

It's not much, but I know very well it all adds up, and maybe a little positive energy plays out for you too.

What I did was quit buying my coffee. :D

And that worked out!! I have a little percolator, which I love when camping or something. That thing makes the best damn coffee. For the quickie at home, this is corny, but I got an Aeropress and it also makes a fantastic and kind of fun cup of coffee.
According to your profile, you're not even a U.S. citizen, how can you purport to understand anything in the U.S. when you don't vote here? When you repeatedly post in favor of one political slant as a foreign national that's no different from Russian troll farms getting paid 50 cents a post to spam politics online.

> it's not absurd. If you replace GPU with food, and PoW with population, then you will see that it is not absurd. It is only absurd because of the a priori assumption that having more PoW is worthless - an assumption you wouldn't make with population.

> And i would think that if in the future, demand for PoW crypto grew, it means it must be satisfying a demand (for example, currency collapse). As long as a demand is being satisfied, and paid for by individual's earned money, it should be fine (as opposed to being paid for by somebody else's money - aka, externalization of cost).

I'm not even certain how to respond to this. I called out that it's becoming evident that the growing problem with crypto is a collection of people who fundamentally don't understand markets and society. That the understanding is as simplistic as "if someone is willing to pay money for it, then it must be good for society". Which is beyond naieve. And how people need a deeper understanding of what's happening.

And the response "countering" my argument is essentially saying I'm wrong because paraphrasing: "If someone is willing to pay for it, it is good for society". And equating GPU production with food production because in this hypothetical they are both things people pay for.

I'm not certain we can have a productive discussion. The goal of society isn't to create markets. Markets are a tool society uses to improve life for people. Markets aren't the goal.

Making legal murder for hire is not a net positive for society, even though you could create a market place for it and people would pay for it. Arguing something is good because people will pay for it is so beyond flawed that I don't have a way to describe it.
>The interviewee's goal is to be evaluated inaccurately.

Only if the interviewee doesn't think they should be hired.

I think a better way to think of this is:

1. The interviewer's goal is to hire somebody that will provide value at the company, using the hiring criteria as a way of judging it.

2. The interviewee's goal is to get an offer at a company that makes sense for their career goals.

These aren't necessarily adversarial.
I think most self-development and business process books break down as roughly 10% actual content, 30% description to make sure you understand, and 60% descriptions of implementation to show how it works in different circumstances and help you internalize the main points.

It’s cheaper now and way more socially acceptable (decriminalized) to use meth in public (at least in west coast states). My dad was a meth user and only got clean when he was incarcerated. I bet there are thousands who just spiral downward further and further until they just die because now there are no consequences or barriers or repercussions to stop this behavior. Not only that, we incentivize and subsidize drug use in some cities. San Francisco has an “adult” support program that gives homeless people a debit card which they can withdraw cash from. I guarantee 90% of that cash is spent on fentanyl and meth. They give out dozens of needles at a time (once saw one dude with literally 300-500 needles) to drug users but not to diabetics. We have really skewed/inverted our priorities.
My wife does this too. Granted, I’m diagnosed with ADHD, but when it comes to chores I’m kind of battle-hardened and quite diligent. I found trying to get ahead of chores very demoralizing and exhausting.

My wife hasn’t found a solution yet. She will sleep in until 11 on a weekend and get out of bed only to get upset with what hasn’t yet been done. She does very little with herself outside of work.

Like your wife, any compliment is actually an insult. That sort of dynamic definitely complicates kindling or maintaining romance.

I remind myself that it’s worse for her than it is for me. I’m also grateful for the challenges it has presented because in many ways, it has made me a better person.

I do wish she was happier. For her sake and for our kid’s sakes. Life isn’t always happy though, and it all takes work. Relationships take work. With the right framing and patience these things can be worked through.

Your last point about maintaining your own mental health really is key, though. I’ve crossed that line several times and essentially developed my own depression. It’s very dangerous.

I’ve found it very helpful to reflect on what I contribute, how hard I’m working towards my duties as a partner, and how my actions meet my intentions and so on. When I can honestly tell myself I’m doing well, just about the best I can manage, I let things slide. If it’s all I can do and it isn’t good enough for someone else, I’ll still reward myself for my efforts and let the depressive ire slide off my back. Most importantly though I’ll recognize my own efforts and make sure I don’t allow myself to be pulled into thinking it isn’t good enough.
Here's what Facebook META will do:

Every person on Earth, using their country's Unique Identifier credentials (like Social Security Number, National Insurance Number) to identify themselves to Facebook, will be entitled to receive their "forty acres" of Metaverse land, at a going rate of $1000 per acre, a value of $40,000. Just for signing in to claim it! Everyone will rush to create Facebook accounts and claim their land. And/or sell their land to others.

Meanwhile, Facebook has found a way to pretend that the "space" in their MMORPG is valuable, and will just be raking in the money, they'll need to hire extra guys with rakes.

Whatever happened with Facebook "Coin" ?

Hi, RSS-Bridge maintainer here.
Feel free to ask questions.
Novi digital wallet, without the Diem cryptocurrency, was supposed to be the cornerstone of the enterprise.
Does Ada compile for mobile platforms (Android/iOS/etc) ? Does Ada support lambdas ? (can't find this)
Yes and no.

In the case of breathing (or not) air, wearing a particulate mask or VoC respirator is an option. It's expensive and marks one in public, of course.

In the case of social media, the exposure equivalent is the fact that much other normal intercourse --- social conversation, behaviours in public (as detailed in detail in TFA), and references in media, news or journalism (to the extent these still exist), in the form of trackers which appear on the present Internet, offline tracking through purchase and surveillance mechanisms which also feed into the attention-diversion, manipulation, and advertising machine, etc., etc.

And again, I assure you, for an increasing number of organisations, businesses, and institutions, the unspoken assumption is that social media use is normalised --- for communications, advertising, often for commerce, and again, with website trackers and data feeds through offline interactions.

I find the comparison apt.

Social media is atmospheric to a far greater
If I could answer that question, I would be a billionaire already.

Programming interviews are almost exactly akin to actor's auditions. Just because you flunk an audition doesn't mean that you're a bad actor. Also, auditioning takes a special skill and it's not very much like being a real actor. But they still do it to this day. Programming interviews are similar.

The best hiring model I can come up with is the Netflix model. Pay top of the market, hire and fire people quickly if they don't meet expectations, with a generous severance. Have high expectations, reward the ones that can fulfill those expectations, and quickly get rid of those that don't. It's ruthless, but the Netflix engineers I know love working there.
Mandatory Speed Limiters on the Way
The best approach to warning off interrupters I’ve seen was an engineer at a previous gig.

He built a little literal interior counter with an LED display and button to increment that sat on his desk. He reset it to zero each day.

For every person who came up to ask a question he hit the button, then answered.

He used it as a metric for his manager, and as a gentle passive-aggressive way of pointing out you’re interrupting him. The button pushing had a flourish to it.

That said, he was always very gracious about answering questions.

One of the best infra engineers out there, I’d must-hire him again, interrupt counter and all.

Pretty quickly people learnt to stick to important questions, or chat during downtime, not focus time.
Sure. But I’m (by my own estimation) a mediocre software engineer who is very above-average at solving fun coding puzzles, and therefore at interviewing. Usually these threads are full of people complaining that they are good engineers who aren’t good at interviews; I’m suggesting that the opposite isn’t uncommon, even if it’s more rarely admitted.

Your empathy warms my heart. I appreciate the advice. It’s valid, and it makes a ton of sense to frame it in terms of “life and death”. It’s interesting, I was recently talking with my therapist about “my people” and commented on how I feel like I don’t have any people; that I don’t belong anywhere. You’re right that I owe it to myself to improve this part of my life. (You’re also right that I recoil at the thought of “work”, haha)

I hope you won’t think I’m a creep for this: I clicked on your profile and noticed you left a comment on the Stanford SAINT trials that were posted here a few days ago. I remember reading your comment and the thread it spawned. That post was actually what put TMS on my mind. (I also emailed the group asking to be a part of future studies.)

I’m really sorry to hear that you’ve been dealing with this much longer than I have. I read about those who have been suffering for decades and it always makes me feel a strange combination of empathy and astonishment. From that earlier thread, it sounds like we have some similar experiences. I too lack the “kick” to do basic tasks. I have so many questions. Is this something you still deal with? Have you found some treatment that works? How have you kept going after 20 years? A question I’ve been grappling with: how does one distinguish between “depression” and “laziness”?

Btw, since this thread is getting long, I thought I would drop an email in case you (or some other reader) were interested in chatting later: hackernewsthrowaway@fastmail.com

> Intermediate versions have gone largely undetected, thus resulting in an exceptionally long branch leading to the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of Omicron in the phylogenetic tree. We hereafter refer to this long branch as Branch O.

> We found that mutations accumulated in ORF S at a rate of ∼0.45 mutations per month on average. In sharp contrast, 27 mutations accumulated in ORF S in Branch O during the 18 months spanning May 2020–November 2021, equivalent to ∼1.5 mutations per month, or ∼3.3 times faster than the average rate of other variants

> We found that the Omicron spike protein sequence was subjected to stronger positive selection than that of any reported SARS-CoV-2 variants known to evolve persistently in human hosts, suggesting a possibility of host-jumping

Although host jumping is undoubtedly occurring (eg infection has been serologically observed in white-tailed deer and other animals), I’m skeptical that it is the primary factor as this paper suggests.

Another possibility is that viral mutation rates are underestimated, and/or infections are systematically underestimated. There is evidence of both in the literature.

Combined with enhanced selective pressure on the spike protein RBD due to mass vaccination campaigns, these are scientifically supported alternative explanations for the observations in OP.

This comment is incredibly out of touch with the world of big law. Not only do associates get cut, but many people stall out and can't make partner.

(also the whole concept of "Up or out" comes from Big Law/Consulting... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_or_out)

You are just as "set for life" in big tech as big law. In fact, if you're looking at the last decade, big tech won hard considering tech stocks and how big law froze (and even slightly cut) salaries during the great recession.
This would be a great argument except they’ve already done it.
Did people push back when it was expanded past the creator’s death?
Or when it was 20 years past? Or when it was pushed worldwide?

We’re now at 70 years after the creator’s death, and there’s just far too much money being made. They come up with terms like “modern copyright” and use words like “protection” and “investment”, but at the end of the day it’s big companies using whatever leverage they can in order to stay big.
As expected HN seems to have animosity towards Hedera. I was only pointing out their tech is actually pretty distributed.
It's certainly part this, but also part experience. You get a feeling for who the people in charge of kernel subsystems are and how they like their changes after a while. That goes a long way towards acceptance; there's a lot more human interaction under the surface of kernel dev than people think.

Obviously this is an extreme case, but it scales. Something like 8 years ago I noticed something was horribly wrong with the ARM32 boot wrapper, submitted a fix, and my approach was mostly shot down by the maintainer. Last week I submitted a 34-patch RFC series to finally add WiFi support for 5 years' worth of Macs (which required quite a bit of new scaffolding in that driver, as well as fixes and new features) and it's gotten positive reviews so far, modulo nits. I wouldn't have been able to pull that off 8 years ago. And it's not like I spent those 8 years doing kernel dev, but I've sent in a few fixes and watched how other kernel developers work. I started on a big kernel project a year ago and all that sitting and watching has been very helpful in putting out stuff that people like.
Just want to say that I really enjoyed this comment, and found some very interesting insights in it. Thank you.

Likewise, I constantly find that google won't turn up mailing lists posts and forum posts even when I have a fragment to search for exactly.

Some investigation seemed to suggest they were hard excluding any page which hadn't changed in ~5 years.

I have to wonder if the poor behavior from google doesn't come from automatically a/b testing behavior changes against advertising revenue. Up to the point that you make users give up completely giving worse results will result in more search traffic...
Pillow 9.0.0 Is Out
Tune me out if this doesn't resonate with you, but what you're describing, does it feel like it could have a spiritual component? Is it a sense of total, overwhelming hopelessness, but a rational one, based on existence as you can understand it?

I spent a long time in a state like that, with suicidality and all. In retrospect it was a total "poverty of spirit", and I had to accept a drastically different understanding of myself and existence altogether to move past it. But it was necessary for me to experience it to do that, and I can truly say I am changed for the better. All this is a roundabout way to say, that accepting the idea of total depravity, and realizing that the all-encompassing hopelessness that springs from that state of being is completely valid, was surprisingly helpful to me, at least. I still had to find hope somewhere else (or in someone else to be specific), but doing so did help in a way medicine didn't (for me).
I agree completely about all of the challenges, hardships, lost opportunities, and unfairness. It is an awful situation to be in for everyone involved and no amount of money in the world could ever make up for that.
