This is pretty awesome, actually. Seriously.

I've never seen anything like this before...but it's good to have a 'checklist' -- for something to make you feel better.

It covers a lot of bases, and has useful strategies.

When you're feeling overwhelmed or worked up, sometimes it's not easy to remember what works for you.

This thing helps.

If you're arrogant or dismissive about it...that's OK. Just notice that's a reaction and know not everyone shares it. The wisdom in these suggestions is belied by their simplicity and apparent obviousness I think. I think easily there could be many people who exist in a stressed and worked up state, and incorrectly try to take that out on others, but don't even realize that they could feel differently, nor notice they're not in a 'normal' state. I think it would be very easy for someone in that situation to dismiss this checklist or not see the value of it...but I also think, it could really have profound effects on their well-being, and those around them...if they gave it a try.

If you think this stuff is all obvious: you might be really good at managing yourself. In which case, that's great. But you also might be forgetting that recognition, not recall, is the easier task--as in you may find it hard to recall things like this when you really may need them.

It looks like it would help a lot of people...I hope you enjoy it.
Car industry is going in the direction of manufacturer rebuild (remanufacture), so laptop industry should do the same. Instead of making unupgradeable garbage, manufacturers should offer upgrades.
What law am I circumventing when I take my legally acquired, W-2 reported salary and buy litecoin and trade it for bullion from APMEX?
Have you ever tried it? It literally does nothing. It is placebo at best.
The TGA reporting is incredibly easy so that is disappointing. Speaking to my sister (cardiologist) and colleagues in GPland and physicians training I have not heard this - although I am easily able to accept that peri/myocarditis in its mild to moderate forms is more prevalent than the reported instances. I don’t wish to minimise your own experience but think the real crux will be if broader, more significantly lifelong autoimmune conditions develop.
Ask HN: Where to start with employer contribution to OSS
With the recent news of open source projects burning out due to lack of support, I'm looking to suggest to my small employer that we start making financial contributions to some projects, but I have no idea where to start. I know this might only be a small amount of money, so I'm keen to make it go as far as possible, but I don't know where to start.

Where can I find a list of open source projects and dependencies used the most? Is "used the most" even the best place to focus?

Are Github sponsors or a Patreon style model a good approach?

Does anyone have any experience proposing this to an employer. Does any resources exist to lay out the value and impact in a clear way?
This argument works both ways: parents who wanted to politicize mask wearing made a far bigger deal of it and over-exaggerated the impacts. I know a fair number of people with small children, including those born during the pandemic, and the only ones who allegedly had problems uncoincidentally have parents who get their “news” from Facebook or Fox. Everyone else barely even mentions it because it’s no harder than all of the other things kids have to get used to, like toilet training or the oppression of wearing clothes.
We have words for such things. Anything which is NOT what it claims to be, while soliciting money, is by definition a "scam". A specific kind of sophisticated scam works by paying out older investors using money gained from new investors, and that is called a "ponzi scheme". And so the web3 wheel keeps turning.
Death threats? Why so extreme? Or why even take the whole thing so seriously?

I didn't think all the questions (or the options to choose from) were great but the general idea of checking whether you're okay physically, and then checking whether you're okay mentally, is very valid.

> why do people think it’s a good idea to throw random life advices at strangers that might be on the other side of the earth and live a life they can’t even imagine ?

People are sharing what they've learned. Advice doesn't need to work for everyone to be good advice. And it doesn't need to be perfect advice to teach you something useful.
This is on a different level than pledge. pledge applies to the whole process. This sandboxing, as far as I understand, would restrict syscall access to individual functions and modules inside a process.
I relate. After my vaccination I had about 2 months of severe pains in my gut. I only told a few people because I really believe in the power of the vaccine and know people will twist my own words.
We were crass and gross in equating shadowbanning by search engines with the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell pedocriminal cases.
Honestly compared to the 1918 pandemic we have actually done an amazing job with covid. Not only have we gotten a new vaccine out for it in record time but mask wearing is also really high by per capita percentages in the vast majority of the world.

I really am baffled that people don't see things with more positivity.
Elixir, so hot right now … https://youtu.be/FAxJECJJG6w
It may not be a kickstarter but it is definitely a startup in a tough space, being skeptical of its long term success is pretty reasonable.
> NHS (despite fairly extreme under-funding) has better health outcomes for patients than in the US

The American system’s problem is exclusion, not quality of care. If you get care in America, your outcomes are among the best in the world.
It's a speculative bubble, we've been having and studying those since the Tulip Mania of 1634—1637. The only novel thing about it is what thing exactly is being hyped.
Now that there are good updated numbers on excess deaths, that should be observed before saying, for example, that South Africa is not suffering much from omicron.

There are some plausible reasons to think omicron is not as dangerous as Delta, but it remains very dangerous. The gap between official numbers and excess deaths means that, unfortunately, South Africa's numbers are not a reliable indicator.

The Economist has a web page that tracks excess deaths. I'm sure there are others.
With lock files, you will always be stuck with whatever version you first installed until you explicitly ask npm to upgrade, or delete your lockfile.
> Have you eaten in the last four hours?

This site is laughable. At least for anyone knowing a little bit about nutrition.
Not to mention having all the gyms shut and not being able to do many of the things that help to keep people physically and mentally healthy as well.

It seems that there's been little effort or focus on how to cater for increased hospitalisations, or problem solving on how to ensure there are enough people trained to handle covid patients.

The only tools available are vaccines and lockdowns...

The rules are ridiculous - for example you have to wear a mask stepping inside a bar but as soon as you are seated you don't need one. You have to wear a mask to check in at the gym but as soon as you are in the gym you don't need one.

Everyone needs to check in with a QR code... for what reason I really don't know (assuming it's "just incase" a new variant emerges, but half suspect it's just a psychological trick to remind is of covid 24/7)...

I get that a small percentage of people get very sick and may die (and we should protect those people) but the way things are is just ridiculous and is a bunch of red tape that at this stage I don't think is really helping to do anything except keep people obedient and in constant fear.
What evidence do you have that these collectives would behave like the music industry? Generally the music industry does not go after the large companies, but instead after small individuals.

In contrast the collectives would go after large corporations which profit in the billions from volunteer work without giving significantly back. In fact the argument that situation is that currently you're paying the middle man (those corporations) without the actual creators getting anything.
It would seem reasonable to me to use the latinized form of the Chinese word as part of the identifier instead of the awful descriptive identifier.
Regional variation in the US:

A 1996 linguistics study inspired a map [...] showing “soda” prevalent on the coasts, while “pop” held sway in the Northwest and Midwest, and the generic “coke” took the South. There must be some electoral significance to this.

Eh it's funny you say "wife's tale"

I thought exactly the way do you until I get together with mine. I got her oh my exact diet and ... she still need to eat every four hours or she would feel like shit
I have gotten used to seeing these kind of dead-end items on JetBrains' YouTrack instance more and more, where it seems JB employees are more into debating with customers to justify their position than acknowledging that, sometimes, the customer is actually making a reasonable, and well-informed request.
The US government is involved in ways that make it inefficient. For example, I don't get to choose my insurance, the government has ensured that instead my company does for me. While I can in theory get insurance elsewhere I lose a large subsidy in doing so, no insurance I can buy can possibly be a better deal for me, even the company insurance is bad.

The incentives for insurance are to ensure that I don't quit, not that it is good healthcare or a good deal.
Most comments here are missing the crucial part: collective action.

This is NOT about individuals or companies selling AGPL exceptions and bending FLOSS to financial interests.

A large collective entity would have the power to receive large fees from companies and benefit the whole developer community.

Think of a developer union.
When Samsung decided that all SSSP app/packages should be built and signed with Eclipse IDE it brought all kind of troubles upon us.

I had to move from Vim and a single building script I wrote to this resources heavy complicated to configure IDE.

I don't regret a single day since I moved away from Eclipse.
I see you also follow my rule: When buying a laptop, always buy top spec.

My laptop is an OG X1 Carbon i7/8/256. I can't upgrade it easily, but I'm actually happy with it for my purposes. My main driver is a Ryzen desktop though, that's a proper beast.
It works for like 30 percent of people and its effect is weak. It is actually not used for pain management, outside of some people at home with something minor.
I'm sorry but this is completely wrong. NPM has lock files which explicitly lockdown the version you have downloaded after your first install. These are commited to source control, so all subsequent installs will use the exact same version of dependencies, and nested dependencies too.

You need to ask npm to upgrade or delete your lock file and node modules to run into this issue.
If it is just for the Keyboard, Lenovo sells bluetooth Thinkpad keyboards.
I've just checked and the microUSB ones were under 50€.
I've long held that USB should have been TRRS (like headphones) from the beginning - compact, physically robust, rotationally symmetric, and very very easy to plug in. I've heard two objections to this - packet loss caused by intermittent contact from the connector rotating while plugged in, and the requirement to make the system resilient to transient shorts while being plugged and unplugged. Neither seems like a serious engineering challenge, in light of the reliability and user interface fiasco that pretty much every USB connector has been so far until USB-C.
I hope your situation will improve eventually. Are you at least getting compensated?
A potentially nice idea with several things to think about to real-world proof it. Let's think about nodejs packages because of colors and faker. Some random toughts.

I found colors on my laptop in a project of a customer of mine. I downloaded it as part of a npm install or probably with yarn. It is a dependency of another dependency. My customer should pay for the license, but how?

Among the other things, that "how" means also having a way to know how much they're going to pay if random-developer-1 adds a new dependency to package.json. This leads to asking a manager before adding a dependency, some paperwork, etc. All that we were doing when we had to buy software coming on floppy disks and CD-ROMs (but also downloads from the internet.)

However I must be able to use colors for free if all I'm doing is getting it for a non commercial project of mine. The author and the collective should reasonably feel sure that I'm not cheating. How?

One of the possible outcomes is companies dropping entire FOSS ecosystems and going back to buy whatever web development system Microsoft will hack together, backend and frontend and Windows Server + SQL Server too. Or from Oracle.

Maybe Microsoft already thought about selling a monthly license to use everything that gets uploaded on GitHub or distributed via npm. You stop paying, you rewrite your webapp with other components.

So yes, nice idea, but I'm not sure that the outcome will be good. Maybe we should keep thinking that if a customer or employer pays us to write some of our code as open source, than we'll write a lot of it. If we have to write FOSS instead of going out, maybe we'll write not much of it and we'll make money out of something else.
Also don’t chinese family relationships distinguish beetween maternal and paternal-side relationships? E.g. a cousin on your father’s side is called / qualified / described differently than a cousin on your mother’s side?
> Remember, when my friend Steve sent me a Signal message last week, Signal does not know who sent that.

This seems wrong. How could the Signal server have relayed the message from Steve to you if it does not know the recipient?
If it‘s impossible to iron out side effects, do not make vaccination obligatory then.
There are many advantages to defining the payment plan in code. Whether it's defined in the OPENFARE.lock file or the LICENSE file only matters for the sake of simplicity. The LICENSE needs to be the same across many packages so that it can be approved by lawyers once.

The idea is to put (very narrow) customizations of the terms in the OPENFARE.lock file.
These austerity measures have just gone too far!
> hospitals faking COVID test results just so that they can admit them for 4 days, administer expensive drugs, charge them some hefty bill, and send home

Why would hospitals admit someone who isn't actually in need of care? If you need hospital care for Covid, it's (almost exclusively) because you need supplemental oxygen, and that's something that's pretty hard to fake.

Edit: the question is: how are these hospitalizations actually done practically. Are doctors faking diagnoses (e.g. hypoxia), convincing patients they need care, which they are persuaded to accept? Or are patients forcibly admitted without being asked?
If you're afraid of side effects, you should abstain from any form of medical care, then.
FWIW, Dr Karl, the Australian medical doctor / science communicator, often advocates early use of painkillers to avoid neural plasticity problems that lead to more pain as the pain related neural pathways are reinforced.
If anything, fasting makes me way more patient with people. Blood sugar swings make me irritable. Your diet/life is not everybody else's.
If you work full time for a company, you get your paycheck at a regular interval. If you don't get it, you can complain to your accounting department or to the government in severe cases.

If a client decides he's not going to pay you for whatever reason, he can just block you on Slack, email, and everywhere else. Sometimes you can use a contract but good luck executing the clauses when you're on the other side of the planet. Even if you're able to sue, it takes months or years and a massive amount of energy. You might even lose if the other lawyer's able to find any loopholes in your contract.

Personally, I think this is too much for a single person to handle. How are you going to have enough energy left to do actual creative work if you have to deal with all of that? If you decide to start an agency and have your own legal department, then it's another story. There are some agencies who derive the majority of their revenue from legal actions anyway.
Very disappointed that the other thread regarding this from today got merged into this one as a "dupe". I actually lost track of it and it feels like discussion about it is being "squashed". I went to HN on my desktop to discuss it and couldn't find it on the front-page anymore. Even though that may not be the intention.
xmake can also easily write some lua scripts to dump the build dependency graph https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake
Nobody claimed that they look the same.

As mentioned in the linked article, the behavior upon receiving an injected message is client specific. In any way, the injected message is somehow presented to the (non-technical) user who might then be targeted. We all know the same problem exists in the e-mail world.
This is so cool, its only about 10 miles down the road from us!

My daughters school is great at jumping on these things when they happen, I bet the Sea Dragon will be the talk of the playground today.

I'm amazed that these things are kept to quiet until they make a big public splash, absolutely no chat/rumours about this locally despite it being found 11 months ago.

Rutland (the UKs smallest county) is doing quite well for discoveries right now, last year a massive Roman mosaic floor was uncovered in a field [0] and a shackled Human Roman skeleton was also found[1].

Every single cent earned in my career depends on OS software in one way or another. Maintaining a public repo or two can very well be considered part of your job, or purely for giving back something.

I for one enjoy if anyone makes money with help of my code. I very well know I wouldn't have made it so far without many many others having chosen this way before.
Hey neighbor, we moved into town so Comcast is available. Other options will be great, though!
Or maybe it’s worth taking a couple seconds to understand the problem domain before judging someone else’s code.
The writer understands the difference clearly. Literally a heading in the article: "First, a note on the theoretical vs. the actual".
I feel like I tried that but it’s been a while since I worked on it.
Florida cities ask: Are there too many palms?
Honestly one reason I don't want kids is that I don't want to deal with schools, parents, and the whole infrastructure of child rearing in today's day. Even five generations ago you had 5 kids and just fed and clothed them..maybe sent them to school if you could but generally they helped you out at home and then went to work and got married and became largely independent by age 20. In today's era the entire concept of raising children is exhausting and not really sustainable. Society wants you to put in literally 10x the amount of hours into child rearing in contrast to what my great grandmother had to deal with.

And everyone acts so insanely self righteous and judgy about it.
Reminds me of IFn from Clojure

> could get contentious quickly

People still have to work and pay the bills and have to negotiate salaries. If anything, an organization representing a large fraction of the FOSS community would be less contentious.
Because the popus are just some UI with no meaning to the browser.

When EU had that particular brain hemorrhage, the cookie header should have been updated to include the text, so that the popup was part of browser ui, not website ui. Then the user could chose to configure their browser to either accept all, required, or no cookies automatically, without the popup.

I still think we should add it to browser now, sites would have a strong incentive to start using it as they would bug users less, and save money on valueless webdevelopment.
> Say what you will, but if the basic trust in doctors and healthcare is lost, how would people get tested, and how can you trust any statistics from there?!

To me this is a huge problem: some doctors are gaming the system and providing fake covid certificates or vaccination stamps. What else could doctors be hiding from me in other situations ? My mom said it was a war crime to deliver fake covid vaccination stamps (I can see how a doctor doing that would see himself as a resistant so good luck having a healthy debate about that). It breaks something fundamental. In a way I hope most of them did it for the money rather than out of anti-vax/anti-system.

On a related note I was stuck for three days in a house during this summer's flood (floor level flooded, second okay, I stayed at the third) . I had food, water and was okay. At some point I could have left the house to be relocated in a roofed sport centre or a school with other people but I decided against it in fear of getting covid in a crowded space. It was before omicron. Maybe I overreacted but I didn't want to take any risks.
I used to not be able to skip breakfast at all, but I trained. Now I can fast until dinner.
Sure, but a 20/80 split is not enough of a consensus to claim that the "jif" pronunciation is entirely wrong, rather than an accepted alternative. With that kind of ratio, there will be areas where "jif" is the accepted pronunciation.
The dark side of the Earth is very bright in IR. Getting far away from the Earth and moon makes them dimmer. Also, going for L2 makes sure the Earth, moon, and Sun are all always in the same direction, so the sun shield will block all significant IR sources.
I am not sure of what you're saying, perhaps partly because I don't own a car, and never have since I got my driver's licence at age 38 or so.

I do recall a neighbour of mine saying "back when cars went rusty" to me a decade back, which surprised me. A lot. Apparently they don't now?

But modern cars, and many modern motorbikes, are sealed units which are not maintainable by the end-user. I dislike electronics like that.

For this reason, for years now, I have favoured very cheap smartphones. If I must have a sealed brick that I can't fix or upgrade, then I will have the cheapest one I can get that does what I need.

Luckily, there are very decent £/€ 125 smartphones now, from companies such as PPTV, iRulu and Umidigi, which are entirely usable and which I can replace every couple of years without pain.

For laptops, I just use decade+ old Thinkpads for now. They're fast enough for me and the keyboards are better than any modern thing.

But the compiler isn’t “not allowed to re-order fields”. The spec allows it to do that. This fix works for the current compiler, but may not do so for next week’s.

Technically you could say it wouldn’t even be a breaking change if a compiler update changed that (practically people would have reason to be angry if they slipped something like that in without creating a major version and adding warning flags to the release notes)
