I don't agree with the people saying find new friends.

I drink, but alcohol makes me feel terrible so I don't drink nearly as much or as often as many of my friends. But I still hang out with them and we still have a good time. It's not that big of a deal.

Alcohol is a quick dopamine hit and a signal that fun is about to happen. But, really, what are you doing /during/ the fun? Talking with friends. Playing games. Doing recreational activities. Eating a good meal. Taking your mind off the troubles of the day. That's the core. That's the fun.

The dopamine of the core fun is going to take a little more time to hit, that's all. You have to be patient when you do those core fun activities for that to happen. And it will.

You have to retrain yourself. Nothing more, nothing less.

To help yourself along you can pick a new trigger; a signal to yourself to get into fun mode. Pop a tic-tac. Repeat a mantra three times in your head 'work hard, play hard'. Whatever. But do it consistently and don't do anything you wouldn't do while drinking (like ruminating over work or actually getting back to work). You'll break the spell!

This is all assuming you're not an alcoholic and actually physically dependent on alcohol. (Cravings, self destructive behavior, compulsion to drink, agitation when not drinking etc) If that's the case you'll need some sort of treatment and quickly. And you will probably have to remove yourself from situations where you might relapse. I've seen alcoholism absolutely destroy people and it's not something to tackle by yourself.
If this is a credible threat to the individual, I would recommend a hardware wallet.

But yeah, it’s generally the same case as giving away your keys. Don’t use your keys in the main memory of a compromised system.
Not necessarily disagreeing with you but homelessness issue won't be solved by simply moving people into rust belt. Even if people were to be moved... how would we fix the issue that caused them to become homeless (and helpless)?

Part of the reason why homelessness is so visible in places like Oakland because the governing body in cali cities tend to decriminalize homelessness. I've also known homeless in east coast go down to the southern states during the winter... only to come back up north during the summer.

We also need to consider the fact that homelessness is multi-facted. There are folks who are employed but still gets classified as homeless due to high CoL.

GitHub’s approach is really dubious and probably violates GDPR as well. They “only use necessary cookies” but then do (unnecessary) analytics on those necessary cookies. But doing the unnecessary part still requires explicit consent.

Those rankings have absolutely 0 values. We are currently under our 2nd curfew in less than a year, I can't go outside after 10pm under the threat of a 2000$ fine (which the police is very heavily enforcing) and yet we are way up there in the list you linked. Complete joke
As far as I can tell, there ends up being no practical difference between "the pandemic is over" and "this virus will be in circulation forever". People use one phrase or the other to emphasize different concerns.
Just giving my 2 cents. Got boosted 3 weeks ago. Now I have covid. Everything is fine, feels like the least ill i ever was from anything. But I wanted to state that omnicron is a beast. I did wear a ffp2 mask with nearly every social contact and if we didnt wear mask we would test ourself. I am sure I got it from the streets from people passing by. That said I am in the french alps and it was vacation time here.

And until now it was rare to know someone who has covid …. Now it feels like people who dont have it are getting rare

I hope so much this is the entrypoint for an endemic situation
Ask HN: How have Portland SE salaries gone up so quickly?
I've been following the Levels.fyi yearly salary reports for a few years now. In 2019, Portland was not on the list at all. In 2020, Portland moved up to 9th-highest salaries. In 2021, Portland moved up again to 6th-highest salaries.

How does the median SE salary of a place go up more than $40k/yr in a couple years? What is the mechanism behind this sort of change? Is it companies opening new offices? Is it existing companies increasing their compensation package by a huge amount?

Do we know at this point what are the hospitalization rates of omicron compared to the flu?

There is no requirement that stock price behaves in this way. There is a large speculative component and also a ponzi element (my first point) in the stock market system. "It's not the same thing at all" makes no sense. I'm describing how there are shared elements to both systems.

> if the enterprise produces more revenue than a stake of ownership is worth more.

And there are many things that a crypto can do to increase its value, for example:

1. Switch to a more efficient algorithm (PoW -> PoS).

2. Increased network effects.

3. Running for a longer time without hacks or the network going down.

4. More projects being built on top.

Change the topic to drugs instead of alcohol: "Me and all my friends are cocaine addicts. I just can't have fun without cocaine." If you've recognized that your cocaine use is detrimental to your life, does that sound like an environment you should remain in?
Outer space offers plant breeders some curious advantages
I don't know how you managed (or what your sources are) but it looks like pretty much everything you said is untrue.
Only sorta. Software devs can and should treat their machines as cattle, yes. But the guys actually maintaining the racks shouldn't. They have finite space, definite machines, and when one is down they have to identify it and go fix it.

(Meanwhile moving further down, if the hardware guys are having to name ethernet or power ports on the wall due to their various temperaments, something is wrong. And moving up, it's reasonable for devs to name their services, but a signal of an issue if the VP has to know them)

There's a level of abstraction underneath which you should not be aware of to do your job...but someone likely has to (it's not quite turtles all the way down, but it probably ends with physicists and theory rather than cold hard fact).
It doesn’t matter what the law is about, what matters are the actual consequences and the impact that the law has had. So far it has had quite a negative impact for users. I really don’t see how this was a win for anyone.

In general, vaccines do lower transmission, by decreasing the viral load and duration of infection. Of course when you are dealing with a mutation that the vaccine has low effectiveness against, that is all out the window.
This is a very hard conversation to have on HN.

It is impossible to consider that the whole of society has been created and planned in advance. To think that the upper classes manage everyone (they always did), that the schooling system produces people that are incapable of seeing the outside the box (and yet believe that they are free, nay - they 'know' it), that finance is the main weapon in the wealth extraction, that it is planned for us to move to technocracy (with a bio-medical-wallet-etc-id, tracked everywhere in spy-cities, not allowed to even leave your 110sqft micro-flat unless the computer says so), that all the disasters we face have resulted in incremental steps towards this aim (911, covid). Its a lot to consider!

That we have been harnessed and put to work creating someone else's heaven on earth (and hardcore slavery for the rest) is a bitter pill to swallow. And the techies here have recently been the greatest driver of this change. Their livelihoods do depend on it.

Anyway, good on you, for bringing some of these issues up.
You are looking at this all wrong. If you want maximum freedom you need to go to a place like rural Somalia. As long as you have the most guns nobody will tell you how to live your life. Want to rape children all day long? Nobody is going to stop you. Want to kill your neighbors and steal their stuff? Total freedom. No nanny state government is going to try to take your money to build roads or remove the dead bodies.
Another fragment from 1922 (found with https://www.locserendipity.com/Google.html):

A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW
Mary A. Ford

O mighty human brotherhood! why fiercely war and strive,

While God's great world has ample space for everything alive?

Broad fields uncultured and unclaimed, are waiting for the plow

Of progress that shall make them bloom, a hundred years from now.

Why should we try so earnestly in life's short, narrow span,

On golden stairs to climb so high above our brother man?

Why blindly at an earthly shrine in slavish homage bow?

Our gold will rust, ourselves be dust, a hundred years from now.

Why prize so much the world's applause? Why dread so much its blame?

A fleeting echo is its voice of censure or of fame;

The praise that thrills the heart, the scorn that dyes with shame the brow,

Will be a long-forgotten dream, a hundred years from now.

O patient hearts, that meekly bear your weary load of wrong!

O earnest hearts, that bravely dare, and, striving, grow more strong!

Press on till perfect peace is won; you'll never dream of how

You struggled o'er life's thorny road, a hundred years from now.

Grand, lofty souls, who live and toil that freedom, right, and truth

Alone may rule the universe, for you is endless youth!

When 'mid the blest with God you rest, the grateful land shall bow

Above your clay in reverent love, a hundred years from now.

I think right now, this is for people who already know and need the advantages of Erlang/Elixir and want to be able to do numerical computing without having to resort to a NIF or ports. Numerical computing has been one of the big weaknesses with the BEAM platform, even though it is among the first things people think about when they find out about how BEAM does concurrency. I can tell you that many Elixir developers are quite excited about this. It is definitely scratching an itch.

I don't know how this is emerging. If I take a stab at it, BEAM/OTP/Erlang/Elixir is very good at coordinating among many concurrent processes as well as handling failures that come with it. There really isn't any other language platform that does that as well, including Python. (Although there is interest in recreating those advantages in Rust). The distributed computing is built on top of those concurrency primitives. So when one thinks about adding numerical computing into the mix, I think of:

- Broadway (an Elixir library) that handles workflows from unreliable data sources. It is already in production use to handle massive, distributed web scraping operations, so embedding a data transform in there with numeric computing will have good synergies

- IoT applications, both at the edge with Nerves, and with the command/control for IoT. Each of the IoT devices are unreliable (power and network), and OTP already has great facility for that. Being able to do numeric computing at the edge is a thing.
By far? You really think the majority of websites are using TS-generated JS? The majority of the web is Wordpress and PHP frameworks. TS has only become 'popular' rather recently, and there's still a TON of websites that are full-stack SSR with only modest amounts of JS.

As for tooling, maybe. VS has always had a decent amount of mind-share. Even then though, I can see Jetbrains + Eclipse + Sublime + Emacs + Vim + others capturing at least 50% combined...
One of my favorite programs ever was built on DBase in the mid-90s.

Installing or moving the entire application and database to a new PC was as easy as "drag folder onto flash drive" -> "drag folder off of flash drive".

Instant loading, tiny file sizes, but it became too complicated for users when 64-bit windows pushed 16-bit usage into VMs.

You might consider picking up a cheap used motherboard from ebay or the like to experiment with, if you're really interested.

Yes.
>Again, there’s probably some important conversation to be had around politics in the workplace but it’s really challenging to have a constructive conversation or debate when you plant your flag on one end of the political spectrum and tell the story from that biased reference point.

Your comment lacks supporting information and attempts to paint an entire political ideology with an overly broad, vague brush. Such comments do little to improve the quality of current discourse and are borderline polemic.

>The author is clearly trying to paint BLM as responsible for the property damage, which has been widely debunked.

This may be true, but you've provided no information to support your claim. What claims, specifically, have been debunked and by whom?

>It goes on and on reiterating the right-wing perspective of 2020 in an attempt to defend the data scientist.

"The right-wing perspective" is such a broad characterization and, as such, almost completely useless in this context. To which of the many perspectives of the right wing (conservative) political ideology do you refer?

You mention how challenging it has become to have a constructive conversation or debate on these topics -- and I largely agree -- but, with genuine respect, your comments here aren't constructive and contribute more to the challenge than the solution.
Spain would not hesitate to do so, they don't care much about title or rank or name, so long it's not one of their own.
Actually my wife had a bad cold this summer and she coughed so hard during the night that we had to take her to the ER and she was lacking oxygen (not sure by how much). She is otherwise healthy in her early 30s, though she was pregnant, which might have made it worse. It surprised me, I always thought that colds were harmless.
Since I've tried consciously not to do that, now the kid thinks "myself" is my name. I.e. says "myself" did this when the kid means "Dad did this"
You have a rather crucial misunderstanding. There are lots of endemic viruses; that is part of why we vaccinate new humans against so many of them.
Unknown cases don't use up ICU and hospital beds and don't result in deaths, so who cares?
>We need to find a way to get the homeless into those.

This is a logical conclusion, but one that isn't compatible with one of the fundamental tenants of US culture: liberty. You could offer a free house to a homeless person in the Rust Belt, and even pay them to live there, but would they want that? We will not force the homeless from where they want to be.

As well, such a solution would end up raising the ire of homeowners, who see costal homeless as strictly Not Their Problem. Especially costal homeless who are Black and Latino.
I'd say it runs distant descendants of Java. The fact that Gates lost sleep not only over Java, but over JavaBeans is undeniably funny. JavaBeans delivered frustration and secure employment for a legion of developers.

Just a couple of weeks ago we got a reminder of how horrible early Enterprise Java was, with the Log4j exploit. The kind of thing everyone goes, "why would they think that was a good idea?" today, but the answer then was "almost everyone, certainly everyone who makes decisions..."
Just a no sources comment: you can get confection of the flu and covid or any variant with any other variant at the same time. It's just over time one variant out competes the others because it's more fit.
If a vaccine reduces your cough/oozing orifice severity, wouldn’t that reduce transmission?
Someone should use HN comments to make a chatbot.

That would at least be fun.
Auth0 or Okta and yes, neither is AWS native but they are much better authentication services. Okta acquired Auth0 about a year ago so I expect some consolidation of features at some point but as far as I know that has not happened yet.
and time is not something that is afforded journalists and writers today.

This seems intuitive, and also provably false.

Joe Rogan is currently running the most famous and successful podcast in the world, and those conversations routinely go over three hours.

Dan Carlin is on a lower tier, but still highly successful, and his podcasts are far more polished and produced and integrate huge amounts of research, and the runtimes are even longer than Rogan's.

Maybe written content doesn't afford the detail you're looking for, which kind of makes sense, because you can listen to a podcast while commuting, exercising, showering or doing various chores, but you can't read doing almost any of them. But I'd argue almost anything done in an article can be done in a podcast or audiobook, so maybe the current failure of long-form journalism is not realizing that the medium has moved on.
Not to be a humbug, but does anyone else view this as glorified littering? It seems to me an abuse of the commons.
And it set us back because we overcorrected. The biggest evil of historical eugenics was the non-consensual application, not the idea that we should improve the gene pool.

Even this is flawed, because it presumes that what they are doing succeeds at selecting superior talent.

There are a lot of jobs listed there with zero benefits listed in the actual job listing. You have to scroll >1/2 down the page to find out what the benefits are and those are fairly vague. Why isn't there at least compensation listed?
I have a side project that makes a decent amount a year. In order to make it work, I absolutely just coast and work the minimum possible at the day job - maybe 5 hours a day, the other 3 I spent on my side project.

Thanks for this, just in those two blog posts she answered many lingering questions I had about how omicron has been changing things. the SEOd google results are always a flood of incomplete or speculative information when I try to find answers to covid questions so this is a dream come true.

If anyone has any other sources like this that can find and interpret good data for covid I'd love to hear about them.
Kind of sad that he was let go for the one thing he likely had the least ability to control: Other people's feelings. You might have eventually been able to put together training or guide rails to correct his work habits, code review style, and productivity, but how do you coach someone to change someone else's impression of him?

EDIT: Hmm..had no idea this of all things would be such a deeply offensive comment. Live and learn. As a manager, how do you tell someone to "stop standing near people and/or looking at people" when they presumably have to work with those people as part of their job? If there's harassment going on, that's definitely something you have to correct and/or terminate for, but did OP's scenario rise to that level?
I find the claim that someone who knows enough about how this man looks, 20 years after he was last seen, happened to spot him on Google Maps despite the fact that his face is blurred out, extremely dubious.

You can probably make it boot to basic a lot quicker. Don't need to wait for all services to start up. Even LibreELEC boots faster. If I'm correct and this uses SDL, SDL2 supports kms/drm.
This is one of the most insightful articles I've ever read when it comes to predicting the future. If you are on the fence of whether or not to read this article I highly recommend you read it.
> I have started assuming that most of the people here have some kind of side project that makes them money.

I haven't paid attention to it, but probably the people who mention "my side projects" aren't regulars, and it's probably a Baader-Meinhof thing for you.

If you want to be methodical (or me, since I'm just guessing with no data), you could go through the top 10k commenters here: https://whaly.io/posts/top-10k-commenters-of-hacker-news-in-... (it was mentioned on HN a few days ago) and see if they wrote "my side project" or something along those lines...
Isn't negotiating a wage (or choosing to accept the offered wage or not) how we determine how much of the means-of-production that a worker contributes to that they are owed? I've helped build houses for instance. When I performed the labor, I was paid cash which I can now use for ownership of my own home. The same for when I design electronics, I then used those proceeds to buy my own means of production to manufacture electronics.

If you can find some other way to allocate payment to workers that's fine if everyone is agreement. Me, I like commodities and currencies. If not dollars a gold bar will work fine, you needn't pay me in fractions of a factory floor or whatever. I ought to be able to negotiate with a factory owner to be paid that way.
What are your thoughts on the built-in network request disabling option or Chrome's option to disable unless clicked?
I know you use Firefox, but for me these options seem to be sufficient for Chrome at least (and are already available).

Let me know if I'm mistaken though; I want to make sure that all such concerns are addressed!

I also think the badge could be dropped, but in initial stages when traffic is low I think it would really help with engagement.
Buzz off with your revisionism. Chomsky said the numerous reports of mass murder were a sea of lies. History has proven him dead wrong. He should have known better but was blinded by his ideology; all too eager to believe America was making it all up, and all too eager to believe leftists wouldn't commit such crimes.
Reminds me of the documentary film Last Breath, telling the story of deep sea diver Chris Lemons.
It's still largely the same severity of the original Wuhan variant tho. It's the people getting immunity that's lowered mortality.
thanks,

I hadn't realised that regulations existed in this manner

Was it worse than a flu for them, or roughly similar?
Exactly, it was the Web that threatened Microsoft. But Java is not the only player that could have dominated in the backend. Also, the backend lost its importance to the frontend, where the HTML/JavaScript/CSS (both in the browser and as Electron) stack rules.
