Speaking of phreaking, I always loved how Sneakers wasn't afraid to be understated. The David Strathairn character mentions that he got in trouble for helping some people make free phone calls, and has perfect pitch and the nickname "Whistler", and... no more is said. People who get it, get it.
I've been messing around with a G4 Mac recently. I've got it dual-booting OS 8.6, and the OS-X Public Beta, with all the software on both sides that I had back in the day, and always wanted. It gets online with a crossover cable connected to the nearby Win11 machine, but that's scary and very limited.

Still, it's fun to roll along now and then like we did when we didn't know what was coming.
I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with the institution to give a proper response. To me, many of their (Polish Episcopate's) actions are illogical and a net loss to the community they're supposed to foster.

I don't think that the Vatican necessarily has that much power over the Polish Episcopate. It seems like they operate as an association of non-profits all across the world and every single organization operates independently, within a rough framework.

I live in one of the largest cities, haven't ever really been a church-goer. Going through all the sacraments was just a traditional thing you'd do. A decade ago, I don't remember hearing anything political in my local church. Sure, I heard some pretty obnoxious homophobic stuff, saw "exorcisms", but it was always somewhat neutral. However over the past few years, I've heard a lot of stories about rabid priests demonizing "the other side" (be it the other parties, "the LGBT plague" etc.), saying that the only way towards salvation is voting for PiS. Maybe it was a very vocal minority that was amplified by the media (look, priest X is doing this stuff! how terrible!). Eventually it seemed like that behaviour was normalized and the attitude of the people towards the Church became even more radicalized.

Right now, the percentage of people who claim they're religious is plummeting. People who disagree with PiS (and the behaviour of the Church) are pulling their kids from "Religion" / Catechesis lessons, mostly in large cities. In my community, the schools have to group up multiple classes to even have groups of 10. How do you fight it? Well, you give a ton of funding to "patriotic causes", which are primarily promoting Catholicism, militarism / far-right, nationalistic narratives (the government is contributing to this now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB2XRK_Xb6g).

The trade-off seems to be replacing your average church-goes / people who only go to the church for baptisms / First Communion / marriages, with Polish "patriots" - nationalists full of hatred towards anyone who's not white, religious and preferably voting for the Populist-Nationalists or Conservative-Liberals (who banded up with actual neonazis???). Arguably, I think that financially it could be a net positive for the Episcopate - they're getting public funding (for now) and possibly acquiring new, radicalized, loyal followers.

Disclaimer: It probably _is_ a very loud minority. Unfortunately it's also the minority that appears to control the Church leadership. I feel sorry for the legitimately honest and good people I met through the Church, who are now getting grouped up with xenophobes.
This research is built on some pretty shaky ground—including some very loaded picking-and-choosing of vocabulary—and because it doesn't have very strong predictive power, hasn't made much of a dent in the community in the last decade since it's been published. Here's a discussion from the blog Language Log that discusses a lot of the methodological problems that show up: https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=4612

Well, it seems like either you don't understand the concept of incremental improvement, or you're being deliberately obtuse. Taking a good portion of the anxiety out of the situation can only help, right? I don't think anybody is pointing at this paper and saying "if we do this one thing, then interviewing is fixed," except people who are looking for a straw man, do you?
> People don't like to talk about what the food supply looks like under a zero emissions scenario with our current nitrogen productions methods.

I, for one, love to talk about zero emission food production.

It's not scary, and in fact it will be somewhat straightforward to replace our nitrogen sources with zero emission production methods.

Electricity can be used to produce ammonia in many ways. The most obvious is electrolysis of water to hydrogen, and then through the Haber process. Large scale production is already being planned, for example by Fertiberia in Spain, who will deploy many MW of electrolyzers soon. Spain's target for electrolyzers is 4GW by 2030! We couldn't even build 4GW of nuclear by 2030, but we will be able to do elecrolyzers and the solar to power them.

There is also a startup (blanking on the name) that creates ammonia on site, off grid, using high voltage in a box. This eliminates the transport cost of nitrogen, which is not insignificant. By focusing on small scale production on site a small startup can break in to a huge commodity market.

I didn't downvote your comment, but your unnecessary pessimism does not accurately reflect the future that we can see already!
I don’t know much about Europe or other countries so haven’t made many critical comments towards those countries. But when I’ve been critical about the US, my neighbouring country I’ve always had a lot of flack for it here on HN. But you are right life is too short so I say my piece and not worry if people vote down or up I am just trying to be part of the conversation.
I learned a week ago that traditional cut [rectangular] nails work far better than wire nails for many uses. The squared ends shear off grain and make it into a wedge locking the nails in place far better than wire nails with pointy tips that simply shove the grains aside, often causing the wood to split.

Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rwcGXIORro
Doing a quick search of reported issues around git repos, basically the trouble is that a git repo folder does not expect to be sync'ed at a file level, because repos are expected to be in different states on different devices, and the state of a repo is represented in the filesystem via the .git directory.

As an example problem-case, say your first device checks out branch A and your second device checks out branch B. Some files conflict, which is likely reasonably handled as any filesync application needs to handle conflicting updates. But any files that are changed in one and not in the other end up getting sync'ed over into the other, including inside your GIT directory, which will very likely lead to an illegal GIT directory state.

As a toy example, pretend that the .git internals require that at any given time, `.git/activebranch/` must contain exactly one file whose filename is the name of the active branch, and git maintains this invariant. By syncing changed files, any filesync utility would break this invariant by resulting in `.git/activebranch/` containing two files, due to each side seeing a new file that the other side needs to acquire. Depending on how such a problem might manifest in real life as a result of performing a file-based sync on two instances of a git directory, this could lead to your .git directory entering a state in which git doesn't know how to interpret it.

--

This isn't a syncthing problem as such, it's a problem of trying to use a file syncing application on the internal state of an application on two different machines with two different states, and expecting the result to be a valid state.
I dunno. One sets global values everywhere, then collects them all into a plot. The other creates a bunch of apparently disconnected objects, sets a bunch of different attributes on each one, and then gets the plot from one of those objects.

If I was designing something like it, I wouldn't recommend either. The global one has many fewer WTFs per character, but the objects one looks like it works in a multithreaded program or that you can create more than one plot without displaying them (but I've never tested this).
People want an article in a headline, it's ridiculous frankly. Take the extra 3 seconds to scan the page.
Having everything be imported is what makes the language be useable. Especially if you never import * you can easily find the definition and meaning of everything you read on the screen. A prime example of explicit is better than implicit.

And backslash doesn’t let you have the literal obey the proper indenting. Might as well use “””
the zen of python was written in the 90s.

from that context it makes sense, because the only goal of python in the 1990s was to be more popular than perl, which was notorious in having many ways of doing the same thing.

but yeah, python had had significant feature creep over the years, it's nowhere near the small clear lang it used to be.

Loved some of the quirky application props they had, like "Mozart's Ghost". I definitely remember making some Visual Basic programs that had a little pi symbol in the bottom corner of the screen. I don't think I even knew how to program, was just making UIs that did nothing.
Microsoft has a lot of vendors and contractors that aren’t technically employees but are, in an abstract sense, part of their workforce and payroll.

Amazon also has a lot of contractors, but IIRC most of their warehouse employees (the vast majority by number) are FTE. Also I think Amazon has many multiples of Microsoft’s “employees” as a result.

For sure software has big margins but I think there is a lot of nuance lost when looking at these gameable FTE counts

>Most Poles currently prefer this government to a neoliberal cesspool.

Not really. They just don't hate it enough to unite against it.

Let's say that there are parties X, Y and Z.

30% of the population votes for X, 30% for Y and 40% for Z.

Now, even if followers of X and Y hate Z more than each other, the winner is still Z.
Why not buy three?
1. Should be Required reading for any rising senior at High School- Psychocybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz. I got this for my 43 birthday and you will have a huge head start over others.
2. Flow- Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi masterclass in writing exposition. Essentially how to find happiness in everything in life
3. The Millionaire Fastlane: Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime- cringy title but packed with practical nuggets on how to earn a living and create wealth outside of the scripted 9-5/30 years of employment. Very in your face but I am trying hard to apply what this book teaches.
Good luck!
Yes, but in this case that's the point. A man called Gosling who shared is home with 20 ducks is odd enough. The fact he contracts bird flu is priceless. Like a meteorologist called Blizzard or a goalkeeper called Saves...

An interesting example of this was at the recent Summer Olympics in Tokyo. With the wide view of athletes everything looks fine, just another nice sunny day. But when the camera cuts in close many of the athletes look like they're about to pass out but they're barely sweating.
When I initially quit, I thought I was going to do something similar to what the author here was trying to do, after taking a couple of years off. I had some fantasy of being an artist. I don't believe the notion that there is a position in tech that I would be passionate enough about that I would really care all that much, but I work remotely for about 5-6 hours a day now and have plenty of time to do the things that I care about.

My perspective now is that there are two ends of the work/life balance spectrum you should avoid. The first is not working at all, or working as little as possible. This would include doing something far below what you are capable of like working at a grocery store just because there is no stress and you can manage to get by on that type of income. Lots of people fall into a lifestyle where they realize they don't want to be materialistic, so they never get a career going, and then they pay serious consequences as they get older and have no money or freedom.

The other end of the spectrum to avoid is materialism. Measuring your self worth in status, or seeking status, especially through money, is a challenging thing to avoid at least in the US. Being close minded and materialistic, in my opinion, is robbing yourself of experiencing life in the way it can be experienced, because it makes it hard to build good relationships or empathize with people. Materialism is a huge huge issue in our society and it is something that too many people who start making lots of money take for granted, and this is ultimately rooted in fear and insecurity.

I think I was pushed down the path of materialism by default. I was an insecure twentysomething who was working hard at something that didn't make me happy, and everyone was telling me how well I was doing and to keep at it. The more I made it a part of me the more unhappy I became until I eventually quit.

When I quit and started hanging out with people who had also quit (or never started) I felt like a weight had been lifted off of me and that I was now living the dream. Eventually I realized how lucky I had been to have the career I had, and backed off of the path I was on by starting to work again, but with a much better sense of balance and perspective.

I have a similar routine and it makes me really productive - stacking different habits is powerful.

However, in my experience this approach has one big problem: certain events (changing continents, moving, sickness, finished milestones) completely unravel my productivity for weeks or months. Once I lose the streak it's very hard to get back on track.

I either have to rebuild a new routine step by step or just procrastinate long enough until I've found a new project I can build my work day around. These periods can last several months.

Has anyone come up with strategies to cope with such breaks?

My use of the word "dysfunction" isn't about company output, but the cost of that output. Cost that includes human capital. I acknowledge that it's a lot more complicated than just simply "dysfunction".

I'm not questioning whether or not Amazon is successful. That is clear. My own employer is also doing extremely well in the market. The internal "dysfunction" remains. To your point, if you define success by output, and ignore the human cost, many companies/industries are "successful".

Maybe a word other than "dysfunction" is needed here, but my goal is to try to distinguish between "this business is successful" and "working there is a nightmare for xyz reasons".

When cost is measured purely in terms of dollars, it's easier to evaluate the appropriateness of that cost.

When cost is measured in people, it's a bit harder to evaluate what's acceptable/what's not.

The Restaurant/Education job markets are fundamentally broken, but also very necessary, and by some measures, successful. But we can examine success/output separately from the underlying issues that are rampant.
I suspect this comment was an elaborate nerdsnipe.
No, I think they'd raise their prices 7%, so shipping things over land would cost 7% more.

Honestly, I think this goes for adults too, perhaps even to a greater degree. Not trying to be glib. Everyone think they themselves are worth more than others, that the rules don’t apply to them.
> Women endure ridiculous amount of harassment/creeps- the office is the last place they should have to endure more of it and having to resolve it on top of it.

Yes, but escalating comes with the risk of a false positive / getting ostracized.

So I acted following my own best interests.

> what if they are still creepy/erratic/become agitated, (and not understanding) in close quarters?

Our diversity policy doesn't extend to people having severe and obvious mental issues :)

As for outside the office, it's a judgement call. I may act differently if harassed by a drunk homeless person.
Ironic to see this today. I spent an hour debugging this very same issue this morning.

I was just doing some simple refactoring, changing a hard coded sting into a parameterized list of f-strings that’s filtered and joined back into a string.

I’m glad that I had unit tests that caught the problem! I couldn’t figure out why it was breaking, that comma is very devilish to spot with the naked eye. I’m surprised my linters didn’t catch it either. Maybe time to revisit them.
Hence, my recommendation of a "Big Red Warning" on picking anything lower than Strict SSL.

A user must knowingly choose this option, and many websites which picked Flexible SSL could easily be upgraded to Strict SSL today. CloudFlare must work towards upgrading these users, especially where it can easily identify that SSL is supported at the origin server (such as Shopify, GitHub etc).
I don't think there's any difference in most entertainment and propaganda. The "official" definition of "propaganda" is:

> Information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

I would say that almost all entertainment is of a biased nature and is used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

Pamphlets about the end of the world and Christianity--propaganda. The Glenn Beck show--propaganda. NYT editorials about defunding the police--propaganda. Tucker Carlson--propaganda. Joe Biden's Twitter account--propaganda. Portrayals of white men as problematic or evil in Netflix shows--propaganda. Portrayals of black men as problematic or evil in archaic books, shows, movies, etc.--propaganda.

Edit:

I realize I sound a little unhinged. Let me try to be more clear about my point.

If media is deployed with the intent to promote or distribute a worldview, I think it is propaganda. Fox News meets the definition of propaganda because it promotes the worldview "cable news, specifically Fox News, is a source of authority". The fact that it is entertainment is not relevant to its status as propaganda; it gains that status by having a perfect propaganda-like effect on the public. The content of the media that's consumed by the public is less important than what the public believes about the sources putting out the media, and what authority the public lends to the media it consumes.

Here is an article by an anonymous psychiatrist who writes a great deal about how the effect of media is less related to the content, and more related to how media dissemination of information infects and shapes its viewers' model of reality. They are taught how to learn, rather than what to learn, and the how always includes "more listening to the source putting out the information".

Sorry but I'm plenty busy with my own projects (you can see them in my profile). The ActivityPub packages have a mailing list, feel free to ask questions there if you see anything relevant for you.
It lets you debug. E.g. if they have made a file called cvs.py in the same directory, then print (cvs.__file__) will show you this. If they have some weirdly screwed up paths with multiple pythons installed and multiple copies of the modules etc., same.

I will not Go lang has the same feature carried forward from C. It helps a lot in the reading code side of the code lifecycle. And Go compiler makes you keep the imports up to date, which is good.
This is huge, there are a ton of us out here writing software at non-profits, edus, etc., willingly making much less because we don't want to ever be involved.

FAANG (and any VC funded company that touches ad revenue) is already selecting for developers who are willing to overlook these kinds of things. It's one of the reasons why they need to pay people so much more.
That would be fun. And socially responsible, no real world cleanup.

One thing that made the game system work though, I think, was that they gave a very limited selection of phrases to combine. So you'd have a list of descriptions (dangerous, look out for, incredible, safe) and things (chest, monster, door, room). So people could put something like "look out for monster" to indicate an ambush, or "dangerous chest" to indicate a loot-chest that is trapped. Limited vocabulary mostly* kept the unpleasant** trolling to a minimum

* people would occasionally put "incredible chest" in front of female NPCs, which was not the intended use of the messaging feature!

** leaving an "safe room" message in front of a trapped corridor full of monsters was, of course, entirely in the spirit of the game.
"I leave message here on service, but you do not call." XD This line was referenced in "Halt and Catch Fire." Good stuff.
Calling it authoritarian is an opinion, which can be debated. The parent comment said the government was not democratic, which is false.
