My friend and family groups have been making a consistent effort to stop romanticizing alcohol and have gatherings without it. There's no denying alcohol is a social lubricant that can be very enjoyable.
for a reason I forgot my .emacs.d/ ("hidden" dir) is a symlink to emacsdotd/ (not hidden) and, yup, it's in git. Some are going to say: "why stop there!? version your entire user dir" and I can see the appeal (but haven't tried yet).

I'm one of those who track everything Emacs: including all the packages. When I upgrade packages, I first check that nothing broke then I commit "Bump avy to 20220114" or whatever. This way I can easily share the exact same config on several machines/several user accounts and I know I can easily roll back to a known fully working setup. YMMV.
Narrative Enforcement
:facepalm: of course I can, I don't know why it never occurred to me. Probably a case of "if it's ain't broke" but going forward I'll probably switch to this style.
Eastern European here, both Whatsapp is prevalent and Telegram is gradually gaining ground (although I use it from back to the start of 2016).

Surprisingly to me as a techie, a lot of people outright demand you on Viber or you can't text them. I still refuse though because Viber is crap: it's ad-ridden and can't even sync chats properly when you install it on a new device.
I used jQuery back in the day and I never used namespaces, so I had no idea what ns.click meant. I don't really see why it's a desirable feature now. It just seems like a weird artifact of the fact that jQuery predates CustomEvents. I mean, I guess if there were no CustomEvents, it would be useful, but they exist now, so just use them.
Linus Akesson (big in the C64 demoscene) created the only good example of an NFT I've come across [1]. In the token he puts the source code to his "A Mind Is Born Demo" which compiles to the very demo you watch when you view the token [2].

Why do you think it is the most prestigious golf club in the world? What makes it different from my local golf club?
I agree with everything you wrote. I think the only question is how much work overall, as a percentage of the economy, is motivated by the avoidance of destitution, and how much is motivated by higher humanistic values. I think if you ask most people, you may be disappointed to find that they give pithy answers about not starving, or supporting their lifestyle, and vanishingly few will cite honor, duty, beauty or tradition. I think you would also find that the frequency of pithy answers forms an inverse relationship with wages. It would be interesting to try to construct a study to answer these questions.

Overall, I don't think the "human condition" is much of a thing. People are marginally more clever than apes on average, and that small margin pushed us past a tipping point into civilization. Give a chimp a smartphone and they start to behave remarkably like people (or is it vice versa).

However, even if you're right, and most people would find humanistic motivation to work, my point is that we just can't have all the people who do menial, necessary, jobs pursue careers motivated by higher values. If all baristas were suddenly free to pursue their dream art careers, who will pour the coffee?
Note the weasel word: "can".
That’s legitimate, but I have two questions in response:

1, How effective are patents at protecting an under-funded inventor? (As I’ve been told by my lawyer) They cost tens of thousands to file and much more to enforce. It seems way more likely that a rich company will railroad you and eat the legal costs later.

2, As execution does matter, don’t patents leave the potential for a concept to be poorly executed and its value wasted during the period it might matter most? The lifetime of a patent is huge in the span of tech.

Given those questions and the other negatives, including patent trolls and the really broad assignment of patents, I really have to wonder what benefit we’re getting here.
should have gone for 98 percent alcohol, would have lived till 98 :-)
> The one area, where I wholeheartedly agree and recognize the serious dangerous of the internet and computer devices is in children. The threat of cyber-bullying and indeed, rather more subtle, the attention-seeking culture of always producing content at a young age is IMO, very scary when thought of in the context that these will be future adults who didn't know better. We need to guard against these enabled social pressures like we protect kids from smoking, drugs, alcohol and even to a lesser extent (i.e. it's not illegal) addictions to things like TV, video games and other behaviors that they might fall prey to.

This is always an interesting discussion to me as one of the first kids to really grow up online. (It still weirds me out that my childhood is illegal now.)

> Unfortunately, since this is relatively a new thing in society. We have not yet developed a solid culture around what is acceptable and what is not.

Also unfortunately, I doubt we will until Gen Z and Gen Alpha grow up and start having their own kids. I didn't really start to reckon with the bad parts of growing up online and the ways that it may have shifted my development until I was in my 30s and starting to see the same behavior in current kids and realizing 'wow, that was f'ed up.' Right now, there just aren't many adults who can speak to spending a shit ton of time online as pre-teens, and kids can smell inexperienced bullshit a mile away.

The other possible outcome is that the curriculum/culture for this will be written by people in power who have no idea what being a child on the internet is actually like + it will be written as a political football, so it will be completely ineffectual.
Point was foolish consistency. I see an IT diktat that a function should not be longer than 100 lines. I would even go ahead and say seems reasonable for lot of cases. But to make it absolute would be foolish consistency.
somewhat related to this, i came across the following blog the other day (possibly an HNer?)

https://blog.networkprofile.org

which details steps taken by the author to mitigate any future outages like what they experienced in the past. really thorough and interesting to think through what grid independence takes, plus any related costs/maintenance.
"Literally everyone involved in the treatment and support of substance abuse" is a small percentage of the population as a whole, and a very, very small percentage of the people who make policy and resourcing decisions related to how substance abuse is handled.

You may be in a particular microcosm that handles this well, but that is definitely not the universal experience (not by a long shot). I'd also dispute the "literally everyone" part of your comment, as I can think of countless examples of attempts at substance abuse treatment and support being actively harmful to the person struggling with addiction.
My thought is maybe they didn’t really do 2FA, but exploited a password reset mechanism that only required 2FA?

IE: single factor resets, so a compromised “2FA” was actually keys to the kingdom?

But you’d think the attacker would need access to a user’s email or some such then.
That is already slowly happening on the versions that have access to ARM hardware memory tagging and pointher authentication, specially on iOS and Android.

Solaris on SPARC has about one decade of experience via Application Data Integrity.

And Unisys ClearPath MCP memory tagging architecture goes back to its Burroughs B5500 roots.

Also in case you missed it, Microsoft is one of the CHERI sponsors.
>>I wonder what happened.

I think you start working and the only "fun" situations you are in are meetings at a pub after work with drink involved. After few years you naturally start to associate fun off-work time with drinking.
Alcohol is also fun because it lowers inhibitions and makes people do stupid things they ordinarily wouldn't. Cigarettes being cool is definitely a marketing thing though.
Maybe it's unclear, but you just need to insert a row in the subscriptions table with the value "ACTIVE". You don't actually need to have a real subscription on the hosted version of Notabase.

Besides, if you know how to code, it's simple to change the max number of notes to something like Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY anyway - but adding a row in the database is likely easier so that's what I recommend.

It may be a bit of a hassle, but I do this because the codebase for the hosted version and the self-hosted version is the same, which makes it easier for me to maintain. In the future, I may make a separate self-hosted version so that this step can be skipped.
crypto.com is a little mysterious when it comes to authentication honestly. I still have not understood it.

But basically in this case, you didn't even need a password to log back in, it was just an email to click a link, then FaceId/PIN and logged in and prompt to re-add 2fa. The app must store the password itself somehow and auto use it.

Anyone know how the do auth on the app?

For users in the US there is no way to change the password, because the webapp (which might have that feature) is not allowed to be used from US.

Once I asked how to change password and support said I can change the PIN on phone and dont worry your funds are safe.
Based on them saying they migrated to a new 2FA system, I think it's the latter - they disabled the current 2FA option and required everyone to register a new 2FA method.

> In an abundance of caution, we revamped and migrated to a completely new 2FA infrastructure.
Consistency in how the law is applied is important, but not that the composite of all laws be absolutely fair relative to each other. That is "foolish consistency" because it's impossible except by very closed-minded fundamentalism. The idea that you find the "worst" thing that is legal and then repeal all laws against things which are "better" is not a viable legislative strategy.
One of my best friends is a grad student. It is absolutely crazy how much time he (and I, as his editor) spend trying to chase little bits of money. If there were a reliable way for me to turn hours into dollars (and not pay a high marginal tax rate), we would be ahead with me just regularly working instead of helping write many of these things.
Damn! Good thing he wasn't drinking 40 proof spirits, otherwise he would have died much sooner.
Such people would be banned from nearly any platform for posting controversial or unpopular content. Snopes and politico would fact check them with a mostly false rating. Etc.

The collective masses are always a bit arrogant in their praise of existing dogma.
Yes, I think if they could the would remove namespaces and enums
We run out of fun
Yeah, you take a person like this, teach them about people management, and then move them one level higher to give them access to more problems to solve.

Hours of butt in seat doesn't necessarily correlate with value delivered.
Lmao, here's a quote from Phil Spencer after the Bethesda acquisition:

“[I]f you’re an Xbox customer, the thing I want you to know is that this is about delivering great exclusive games for you that ship on platforms where Game Pass exists. That’s our goal, that’s why we’re doing this, that’s the root of this partnership that we’re building.”

I doubt MS Paud $70mn to not keep their games exclusive.
Agreed. And even if the storage issue isn't the main blocker, there's also energy usage, bandwidth, security and usability issues when it comes to phones.
Yeah I agree. Though seems pedantic to imply blockchains aren't useful because they're "just" composed of cryptographic primitives. Shared state under potentially-adversarial conditions isn't an easy thing to achieve, and has usecases for which other P2P networks aren't sufficient.
I've heard this more lately and can't square it with what I had understood about those super long-lived cultures; like in Italy or Japan, where supposedly they drink moderate amounts of alcohol approximately daily.
I was thinking about this recently watching a conversation between Lex Fridman and Bryan Johnson and it struck me that there is a huge difference in optimizing lifestyle choices for human physical and mental performance, and optimizing lifestyle choices for human flourishing, or even say joy and wonder. I feel like there is this growing misunderstanding that the "optimal" human is one that can be the most productive at work.
Is Matt Damon the signal of Peak Crypto?
My great grandfather sat in a chair and drank from his handle of whiskey every day until his death also at 96. I had heard stories of workers on his farm not realize he was drinking during the work day until the tractor plowed through a neighboring fence causing them to look up in concern to see him passed out on the seat.

I unfortunately saw many in my family use his fortunate long life span, regardless of drink consumption, as an enabler to drink like that. Including myself, up until about 90 days ago.
That's my felling as well. I believe that intuition is my past experiences being used by my subconscious mind as a frame of reference for current events.

The issue is that my subconscious mind is so quick to recognizing patterns in the environment/current situation and previous experiences that my conscious mind struggle to keep up.

I had an issue today, where a co-worker had made a mistake, which happens, but now we have an angry customer. Almost right away I know what the problem is, but it takes me 45 minutes to actually dig into the problem, only to confirm that I'm right. If you're debugging in the middle of the night, having a mind that can tell you exactly where to look, even if it doesn't know why, is magnificent. When people want answers to "Why?", it's less helpful.
Yes. Consistency is not necessarily the problem; foolish consistency is.
Everything was legal until a law was passed criminalizing it.

There's a difference between an offense and a crime (in most countries).

Making buying/selling/using some substances a crime is limiting freedom, and hence should only be a measure of last resort. So no "the alc lobby push for laws against weed" kind of story that ended up with the "reefer scare" tactic.
I feel that although this article is recommending against nfts, it still gives them too much credit. Referring to unspecified "myths" and "bad blood" and linking to an opensea article in the end.
They are using the same SoCs across the compute modules and the products in cases, a lot of stuff is shared between them.

I deliberately got a Quartz64 instead of something like a Pinenote as I expected to work on core drivers.
> SMS as a 2FA option

I hope not, if that is true.

The year is 2022 and companies managing >$100B in assets are STILL using SMS 2FA for protecting their life savings, despite SIM hijacking and SIM swapping still about.

Quite pathetic really.
unfortunately we don't have any openings right now. we may soon though, and summer internships are right around the corner. if you feel comfortable dropping your contact info on this thread, i'll be sure to reach out if we do start looking. roles could range from devops, full-stack, frontend, or backend web, or QA engineer. anything in particular you're experience/interested in out of those?
You forgot many to most adults that can have fun can do so without alcohol
No, that's normal pyramid scam behavior. I would say it was more likely that they were fraudulent if they were escalating their meaningless promo gestures to keep anybody from cracking as their scam gets too big to keep together. The bigger the risk, the bigger the colorful gesture.

I'm imagining it as '$700 million IN CRYPTO, which is of course better than money'. For a name: which could easily be restored if it turns out the payment is worthless. But that's just my fantasy of how this might have gone on.

If it's $700 million in real money that only underscores how desperate they are to make some colorful gesture.
All drugs should be decriminalized. Shooting people in drug raids is far worse for those people than are the drugs. Likewise, locking people in cages with other misfits, criminals, malcontents, and addicts isn’t smart (especially considering that drugs are in the prisons too). If the goal is truly harm reduction, people need to simply work to convince drug users to not use drugs (whether those are opioids, alcohol, tobacco, meth, whatever).
I thought this might have been something about a Greg Egan book (https://www.gregegan.net/DICHRONAUTS/DICHRONAUTS.html is a recent one with space-time composed of two dimensions of space and two of time), but these demos are really fun too. Especially like the connectedness of everything that's not in some sense cheated with portals.
So, you're right to be skeptical of this. I think the website maybe isn't the most trust-inspiring one when it comes to this topic.

There has been research, though, suggesting that when it comes to certain kinds of decision making, involving complex scenarios with lots of uncertainty, decisions made on intuition often are associated with greater satisfaction later.

So I think there's something to it.

The other tricky thing is that this is relatively difficult to study from a cognitive perspective. By its nature it's pretty vague but it also involves things that are difficult to capture in a lab. Creativity is sort of like this as well -- everyone has some sense that there's a thing such as creativity or generativity but studying it turns out to be difficult because it's hard to measure.

My personal difficulty with intuitive decision-making is that because by definition almost it involves subconscious factors, it's difficult to know what to make of it, or when it is good versus bad.

For example, you'll find a lot of articles here on HN and elsewhere about being rational in your decision making, and not letting emotions guide you. So is that "overriding intuition"? On the other hand, I think part of why intuitive decision making can be helpful sometimes is that sometimes there are factors that are difficult for you to fully appreciate the weight of, and your "rational" processes might not entirely grasp the significance of them. So you might later on look back and think "oh yeah that was way worse than I thought at the time; it's no wonder I wanted to avoid it so badly." But how do you know which scenario is which?
The metaverse certainly has its place. The other night my brother and I played 45 holes of mini-golf. At 9pm. And he lives 700 miles away.

We were playing in VR and the experience was immersive enough that it was like we were hanging out together with the combination of voice chat and avatars that look like us with moving mouths when we talk.

But I’m not sure I’d just hang out there all day.
I just mentioned it's because they host The Masters. Basically the Super Bowl of golf.

Though I'm in the planning stages to replace it all with a NixOS solution, the CPU is too slow to encapsulate with wireguard at decent speeds. (caps at 70 Mbps)
> They are trying to stop unmonitored exfiltration of data.

This was always a pipe dream (preventing data exfiltration). The best any company do is to prevent accidental exfiltration of data. Like when someone attaches a spreadsheet with social security/credit card numbers to an email going out over the Internet. There's tools to detect that sort of thing (and stop it) but they don't work when the data is encrypted.

There currently exists no technology that can stop the human problem of data exfiltration. Here's a quick quiz to see if anyone in your company can exfiltrate whatever TF they want: Can employees play sounds on their desktop (as in, it emits sound)? Then they can exfiltrate any file they have read access to pretty damned quickly. Even huge, multi-gigabyte files!

Current data exfiltration methods can take advantage of a tiny corner of a monitor, the sound output (direct connect to line out or optical is ideal!), power lines (yes, this works! https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2018/04/13/data-exfiltration...), various USB tricks (even if entire categories of "storage" devices are blocked via software), and many, many more. Most of them are basically undetectable as well and can be executed with JavaScript in any browser that gives the user access to the developer console.

Obviously, if end users have access to PowerShell or Python that's even faster/better at exfiltrating the data.

My favorite one though has got to be the sound output... You can write a simple script that converts bits into inaudible sounds that can be picked up by a cell phone in your pocket! It's not nearly as fast as a direct connection to the line out jack but it is so cool! haha

Second place has to be data exfiltration, "by blinking the numlock LED"
While a little unclear on details, this seems to put the parent's assertion well within the realm of possibility. 45% of people had nothing to drink in the past month. It's therefore believable, barring additional data, that the majority of people drink at most a "little", as the parent put it. Are you interpreting this differently?
And yet, NFTs grant no 'rights to use': licensing, copyright, terms of use, or any other legal terms of the sort. At its heart, it's because blockchains are not widely recognized as legally authoritative. They /cannot be/, since there is no guarantee that an image is uniquely identified by one NFT across all blockchains, and therefore a court would be required to pick and choose 'winners' when considering which blockchain rightly determines ownership.
> On Monday, 17 January 2022 at approximately 12:46 AM UTC Crypto.com’s risk monitoring systems detected unauthorized activity on a small number of user accounts where transactions were being approved without the 2FA authentication control being inputted by the user. This triggered an immediate response from multiple teams to assess the impact.

I sometimes find it hard to believe these statements, but I guess I can only take them at face value.

Which seems more likely, that these "risk monitoring systems" actually caught this, or that they were inundated by sudden urgent calls from the 483 users saying "DUDE WTF WHERE'S MY MONEY?".
Haha do I dare?
As mentioned in another reply, there are already a couple of tagging approaches in production.

Unfortunely x86/x64 don't have any, and MPX was broken from the get go.
> Maybe you may also want your tool to serve your workflows and not the opposite.

This sounds like you claim that pijul serves all workflows well, which would contradict my own experience. I'm so used to think in branches / PRs (to display a history and showing lineages), that I find the current way of handling channels/patches of pijul alien. Right now I would need to break my workflow in my daily operation to use pijul.
Most Americans do drink.

That doesn't contradict what the person you are replying to said. They said most Americans drink "little or no" alcohol, not "no alcohol".

Why is it that on the Internet almost everyone seems to silently remove/ignore qualifiers like that, and treat everything as a binary dichotomy???
You'll have to endure it if you believe that Crypto.com will exist 20 years from now. I'd bet even money they won't exist in 5 years and the court is renamed in ~3 years.

I mostly agree on the gambling front too - gambling was bad enough when you had to lure people to a casino but at least that gave them the excuse of "It's my form of entertainment, it's like going to a nightclub."

"The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads" -- not any more! Now they're trying to find the shortest distance between users' wallets and their RSUs. On the plus side, they can use all of the targeting and persuasion techniques that have been used to make TikTok/Instagram so addictive on directly separating users from their money. Forget selling a product!
But the tannins in red wine (consumed in moderation) are good for your heart?
