In 2019 2.85 million Americans have died. Should we stop enjoying our lives because of this?

What choice did they have? They were talking to Americans!
Also a lot of these exploits are buffer overflows. That’s a terrible back door because anyone could find it. If there were back doors it would be things like sharing the seeds to the RNG that generates their private keys or just giving access server side access. But they aren’t doing that because it’s dumb. And if the government already has back doors why would they purchase external tools? But as ever the best argument against the conspiracy is it would impossible to keep secret
To veer a little off track, I used to be a huge fan of Richard Dawkins back in college until I realized his approach just creates friction and polarization. The opposite of what he crusades for.

The astrophysicists have a way better approach than the biologists. It's non-confrontational.

But my point is that I don't think it's impossible for atheists and religious folks to be friends. Or even date and get married. Mutual respect and communication goes a long way.

Some people might find this liberating, but I am not one of them. The idea of having to live that long is terrifying.
Personal opinion: none of the syntax or results in your blog post were confusing, other than square brackets looking confusingly like curly braces in the font. It’s how splat works in every language I’ve used. “This operation that doesn’t make sense doesn’t work” especially not confusing.

Politics.

It may sound a bit of place in a forum like HN, but I have a point to make here. What you feel is a fairly common phenomenon and I know a ton of people who aren't happy at this setting. I would like to suggest joining a political grouping and study the in-group dynamics.

From the background you have stated, it is highly unlikely that you have joined a political movement or seen its inner workings at any point in time. You don't have to be a politician, but you can join the team of one. You can make yourself a lot useful. You wouldn't realise the huge value a website or a robust analytics infrastructure for a local/provincial level politician. Or your could collaborate in strategy, outreach, electioneering etc.

The best thing about a political movement is that it derives people from various background, age groups, ethnicities (I know that this is not true for many political groupings, but you could choose based on your taste) and experiences. They are generally very much driven and at least care for a cause. Once you bond, you'll see that the in-group dynamics and response to questions like general ethics, economics etc shifts from the advertised positions. This shift in dynamics is what makes you politically aware and literate. It is a great liberating experience. In movements that are around for long, you'll see yourself interacting with a lot of people as if you have known them for years - sometimes like family members. This is a great way to connect with people from different classes, backgrounds and develop the kind of empathy that will help us appreciate ourselves better.

I realise that the socio-political situation in different nations are different. But if you can do this, this will definitely light up the mood. It is also a great contribution to society - but you don't have to look at it that way. Political activity is a great addition to our lives, as many people across the generations have found out. Do give it a try.
Do you believe that a just war has ever been waged?
That’s not wrong, but OP sounds desperate for connection. Lowering standards to be part of a group that resolves the loneliness is dangerous and can do a number on ones self-esteem.

Sure, the premature judgement is bad but hanging around people who share different values and on different trajectories is not the solution.

The only solution here is to take massive action to expose one to different groups of people and if nothing works, move somewhere else.
Being awake for "the watch" (11pm-1am or so) seems like it would be compatible with some sort of social life, even if you weren't practicing communal sleeping like a true medieval.
Once you say Consumer Reports, you throw all credibility out the window. I read some of their "reports" sometimes in my fields of expertise. Basically they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Being biased is one thing, incompetency is another.
You say you don't want a hobby, but this is how you meet people and make friends. Climbing is a good one. Improv and artsy things like that attract funny, fun people. Athletic and artsy activies tend to attact the sort of people you're looking for (probably). Working out has great effects on your mental state as well, if you aren't doing it.

Also, make an effort to communicate with people and hang out. It's hard and takes a while to break through. Once you make a strong friendship with one or two people, you'll start meeting more. It's absolutely not impossible to get into a good friend group.

You could sell all your stuff and work from an RV. You could move to East Asia. You could get a more socially engaging job. Try lots of stuff until you find what you want. What are you working for? If you don't know, figure it out.
You don't understand regular finance either, but the sharp edges have mostly been covered over the last hundred years so you don't see them.
It gets different when you are talking about denial of service attacks. Imagine everyone drove cars from the same brand, and one day a hacker discovers a way to make them all stop. Then society is shut down. If 20% of cars stopped working, it's still a major catastrophy but you can work around it somehow.

If you have robot armies or something it gets even more dangerous to put all your eggs into one vendor basket.

Local devs or local dev company? In which country? In Germany they just won't find one. There are few good devs and almost no good outsourcers. Way more in Ukraine and there is an established ecosystem - there are even "accelerators" and "incubators" for outsourcer companies. In the U.S.? Because U.S. companies will never do actual coding in the U.S. - they only have U.S. front offices. Many of these "local" companies are actually Ukrainian, with a few guys in the Valley and 500 in Kharkiv.

As for local devs, then well, of course reason is the same as why dev companies exist at all: clients don't know how to manage the project or properly hire devs.

I refactor all the time and have done it for 25+ years. The result is solid code that is easy to maintain and close to bug free (no bugs in production the last 5+ years).
Reminds me of the time I went out to a draft for a softball league and got picked up as the token man. All my teammates played D2 softball together. I always thought I was a reasonably good rec league player. But that team was something else. I lasted 2 games in the field before I got made the designated hitter. If I didn’t get a home run, I was going to be replaced by a pinch runner :)

But after the game, it was a blast.

You’re comparing peaceful Canadians protesting to an active shooter who broke into Parliament?

And as a fellow Canadian, I can say I’m glad there are still some Canadians with the sand to stand up for what they believe in.
Cool project. It is always fun to write software that you will use!

I wrote a fast web server for myself a while back and am now wrapping up a fast DNS proxy.

I'll keep your project in mind when I'm in need of a more custom DHCP setup.

Have you tried dating apps? They suck in many ways but ultimately with a bit of time and effort, some good and bad dates but eventually you wills find a relationship. As far as making a circle of friends, I think that is actually way harder in your 30s than it is to find a partner.
Recently a company from the sphere considered hiring me. The way they spin it was that this is all about fighting criminals and terrorists.
I've had the same problems as you OP. I realized this has to do with house prices and income inequality. Tough spending money on fun when every dollar spent not towards saving is seen as wasted. When life is "handled" people think and do things that are unrelated to making more money.

During COVID I had some time to think, and I thought back to what I enjoyed as a kid and what I was good at, and I remember always wanting to go fast. So I got into simracing, loved it, did a bunch of research to find the best hub for my new hobby, and long story short I'm moving to Finland to pursue amateur racing in real life for fun and building a community around that. Their real estate market seems good and it looks like people still like to have fun and live life there. I've been to a bunch of races and its super easy to make friends. I enjoy working on things with people more than I enjoy drinking and stuff so it worked out for me.
I found one of these once for a client I was doing some work for. It was an Ecommerce site as well and they had the "brilliant" idea of "solving" SQL injection by exiting early and stopping the page from loading if the URL contained an apostrophe... One URL encoded apostrophe later and 45 minutes wrangling T-SQL and I had a neat URL to show them at our next meeting with CCname in it.

For added fun, they used Authorize.net but instead of just storing a transaction ID in their infinite brilliance they decided to store name, number, expiry, and CVV code! They didn't even have user accounts or saved payments, it was all more or less a guest checkout flow for all their orders so customers couldn't even look this up on their site after the transaction. Once an order had been filled there wasn't even any usage of the old order data and they never deleted any of it. A quick row count showed ~750,000 entries going back for years.

People that do things like filtering all apostrophes in a form send shivers up my spine. God only knows what horrors lurk beneath the surface on that California government site.
The McDonald's app is amazing for that too. I discovered you can get a breakfast sandwich with McChicken sauce, lettuce, and tomato though the app and it's delicious.
There's a message going around that one strategy to turn the public against the convoy is as follows, as leaked by a whistleblower:

- a police riot control horse (named after Terry Fox, no less), being led across a street, will be hit with a truck
- the driver who hit the horse will flee (hit-n-run)
- the horse will be euthanized when the news cameras come

but the direct participants will be plants.

----

There's also a message saying the prime minister paid a lot (I thought the number cited was "47 million dollars") to hire people to, well, be disturbers at the event.

----

I can't tell if either of these are true. I'd like to say it is beyond the pale, but it just isn't obvious to me that it is.

----

On the other hand, there's a video where the prime minister says,

"Now, you sometimes hear about Liberal bias in the media these days, how they're constantly letting off our government, letting our government off the hook for no good reason. Frankly I think that's insulting. It's clear they let us off the hook for a very good reason, because we paid them $600 million."

but, in looking it up, I see it was a joke taken out of context (see https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/trudeau-media-bribery-fake-v... ). It is so hard to tell what is what these days.

----

With all that said, I am not at all impressed with the Canadian media right now. It is downright shameful the way they've been spinning this story.

Yes, exactly. It happens to you whether you are aware of it or not, although it is typically celebrated. Think of it like becoming 18 in the US - one day you wake up and you're old enough to buy cigarettes and are generally responsible for your actions. That's what bar/bat mitzvah are.

My version of them are as follows, from start to finished meal in 15 minutes with two good crepe pans.

This is per person, so for two people you double it, except for the extra egg.

1 egg (plus one extra)

2 decilitre (dl) of milk, roughly two cups

1 dl of flower

1 pinch of salt

1 tablespoon of sugar

1/2 dl of olive oil

Lots of butter to fry in

Mix eggs and half the milk. Add the flower, salt and sugar and mix until it is a smooth batter. Add the remaining milk and oil. Mix until smooth. Fry in butter, about a teaspoon, on a hot pan (7/10) until dry on top, flip over, for 30 sec. Done.

Serve with sweet jam, whipped cream, or butter and sugar, icecream. Go to town, enjoy.
Re-read that post and the idea that this is perfectly fine parenthesis redundancy:

A = 'hello world'
console.log( A ) // prints 'hello world'
console.log( (A) ) // also prints 'hello world'

But this breaks with a random-ass error because of how arrow functions interact with `...rest` parameters

A = ['hello', 'world']
console.log( ...A ) // prints 'hello world'
console.log( (...A) ) // SyntaxError: expected '=>' after argument list, got ')'

Is still absolutely hilarious and reeks of "design by committee."
Is there a reason you believe FreeDOS interrupt latency would be inferior to MS-DOS?

(I can certainly imagine virtual 8086 mode / emm386-style shenanigans, varying with configuration and what's loaded in your config.sys, but this is all very hypothetical, and the most straightforwardly hypothetical position of all is that one bare-bones 16-bit DOS should be exactly the same as another in this regard, not necessarily being in the loop at all.)
I wonder if the CBC will pull a CNN, a la “Firey but mostly peaceful protest”?

I’m betting on “no”.

They’ll seek out the fringe and ignore the majority, report innuendo and rumor as fact, and try and paint the whole movement as “racists, alt-right, anti-science” all the while ignoring all the evidence it’s not.

If some participant is interviewed and sounds articulate, with rationale concerns about government policy, that’ll be left on the cutting room floor.
One thing changed this for me: Apple Pay.

The fact that when implemented properly I can just select what I want on a website and my fingerprint pays for it while also filling in my shipping address. Sold.

I actually have to REALLY want something to order it online otherwise. Finding my card and dealing with account creation is a barrier.
Be also aware the conscription law applies only to Jews & Druze. Arab citizens are not required to serve (for "reasons"), so if your car repair shop or shwarma joint is run by Arabs, then there are not veterans there.
I read that fine the first time. It’s exactly the behaviour I would expect and would have specced. Splat as an actual operator doesn’t make sense; it’d have to produce some kind of horrible magic value.

Engines might be able to improve the error message, but I can’t say I’ve ever run into that one.
Hey OP imagine the people you would like to be friends with. Why would they want to be friends with a lonely nerd who judges other people with no selfawareness?

Become the person who can add value to the people you want to be friends with. Without specifics it’s hard to give actionable advice on this.

At general social meetups you’re going to find similarly lonely and lost people with nothing in common. They also very likely have a negative mindset. So skip those and go directly to the events of people you want to be friends with.
How about Pizza Margherita in Italy? It is one of the most common pizzas for adults to order.

This felt eerily like something I would design. But the more I read, the more I realized this won't work for most people. There are a few things that sound nice and a lot more things that only work for specific people in specific scenarios. There are a whole lot of "wait... what?!" moments in here, but then I realize it's just a fancier MPI cluster and it makes sense.

First, get through the coronavirus epidemic. We're barely past the peak of omicron. It's starting to look like that will be over in the US in March.[1] Then more stuff will resume full operation. Clubs, live theater, gyms, martial arts, universities.

Personally, I've had horses for most of my adult life, and I've met many people that way. I know more horse people than technical people.

Betteridge's law strikes again:

> I asked Ekirch this question: As the historian most associated with biphasic sleep, had his research encouraged him, a spouse, or a friend, to become a biphasic sleeper? “Not at all,” he said. “At no time in history have conditions for human slumber been better than today.” Compared with 99 percent of our ancient ancestors, we have better beds, better blankets, better houses, and fewer late-night pests. If the purpose of sleep is mental and physical well-being, “there is very good reason to believe that uninterrupted sleep at night best achieves that outcome,” Ekirch told me.
I have different friends who have used different methods:

Two(recently divorced 30yo woman, 35-40 divorced man) got into swing dancing (met her now husband there and they have 2 kids) and folk dancing (met his 20 year relationship gf there). Advantage of dancing is that usually people are very sociable... my folk dancing friend ended up with a huge circle of friends who would go out as a group for restaurants and other cultural events.

Gym: as mentioned by others.

I might recommend learning either piano or guitar, it helped me at least...

It means he isn't pleased with Spotify, and as such wants to remove his music. Pretty obvious. Hypothetically, imagine Spotify lost so much money losing Neil Young they remove the entire podcast.

“doing your own research.”

The battle cry of the scientific illiterate.
After his military days, Butler had tried to translate his military skills into a term as head of the Philadelphia police, so you can see why a group of tyrants-to-be might want him to join a group trying to bring civilians under an authoritarian regime. You might also see why it is better to give former high-ranking military officers medals and pensions than to give them police departments.

I’d be interested to check those out books out, all economic thought pieces like those have plenty of criticisms from other economists but I’m open to the research.

Other people believe in the chronology I presented so I think its a quick way to get the point of a new concept across. I’m open to finding a more accurate way of saying that though, if its just as simple.

The key concept that I want to convey is that AMMs improve on this regardless, mainly due to the stored last price, and the routing between liquidity pools. So the required trust is even lower than what “trust-debt-glue” exists for. The AMMs practically fulfill its purpose.

"there's no reason for the general public to be walking around with a mask".

Nothing in that statement says that masks don't work. It also doesn't say there will never be a reason for the general public to walk around wearing masks. It is in the present tense and a single sentence.

In a shortage, you want the masks focused where the infections are coming in, the hospitals. The virus was not widespread at that point, so you are wasting resources by spreading your mask supply so thin.

His statement seems like an acceptable balance of simplicity and the truth. I also remember him couching it with "at this time" though I don't know if that was a common thing he said.
You just miss the 30 minutes or less guarantee risking the lives of everyone just admit it lol.
