I know that you didn't exactly invent the term unresolved trauma, BUT...

As a person with a lot of unresolved trauma (and perfectionism issues), I hate the term "unresolved trauma". I've been working hard with a therapist and a psychologist for years, and I've made a ton of progress, but my trauma will never be truly resolved. Every few years some new facet of damage will pop up that I won't expect and will have to work through.

It's a never ending process, and (imo) the term unresolved trauma implies that there should be a point where it becomes resolved. That's just not realistic or true for a lot of people.
Apple App Store. Bad search, bad filters, bad discoverability and as developer: bad hurdles.
It's a bit worse than that given that CBC(among others) have received 1.4B in funding from the government. CBC is just as good or bad(depending on your viewpoint) as CNN/FOX, if not better/worse.

It feels really bad to have comments removed for keywords like PoC when it's coming from your own tax dollars.
> They would have to handle over a million customers each.

Pretty good incentive to minimise false positives.
Concur, that’s way too many hours. When I was in that position and miserable, I decided to hand off as much of my job to others as possible.

It’s been a long term (20 year) project, but now I pretty much only do a smaller number of key tasks and have plenty of time to think, cook, walk, read, make art, listen to music, be with my family or be by myself. And sleep.

The best part is that at an age when I should be slowing down, I feel mentally energized. I make good decisions, solve interesting puzzles, write thoughtful letters. I’ve filed half a dozen patents in the last couple of years.

Life brings plenty of problems. If you’re too worn out to deal with them effectively, they will grind you to dust. Use your money to buy yourself time.
> Wtf is wrong with putting contact information in the unsubscribe link

By law, depending where you are, a unsubscribe link has to be instant. So there can not be an intermediate screen asking for confirmation or showing contact information. Well, you could show contact information, but then the unsubscribe (of in this case service critical mails, thus the service itself) had already happened.
you are paying for the service and are not the product being sold; you are trusting a company that specializes in email, rather than using an email service provided by an advertising company.

If that's a concerned with FYEY, other options exist (like protonmail or tutanota), but they aren't as polished as Fastmail.
On Windows, since 8.1, there is the built in File History. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/backup-and-resto...

On macOS, there is Time Machine built in. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201250

ZFS does have the concept of Snapshots but I would not consider that user friendly or useful for version tracking.

There is plenty of Version Control systems out there, like Git, again not user friendly for what you want.

Dropbox/OneDrive/Google Drive provide various levels of version tracking of changes.

I personally use Backblaze (30 days, continuous) and Tarsnap (45 days, nightly) for both off-site and temporal recovery when I really need it. Backblaze is used for "desktop" systems, Tarsnap for "server" systems.

Here's a thought. Private[0] keys could be held in escrow, with sss[1] being used to decrypt, publically. The sss shares could be held by different branches of government. (state,federal,exeecutive,legislative,judicial)

Hello!

Because we see significant changes in CSF that can be induced by respiration, and meditation is known to decrease the frequency of respiration, I would expect there to be significant effects of CSF flow with meditation [1].

Beyond this, we know that with individuals who are good at meditating seem to induce theta waves in EEG [2]. Because there is a coupling between EEG/fMRI global hemodynamic signal/CSF flow, I would also expect there to be a change in CSF that may be coupled with the EEG rhythms.

Mass boosting _everyone_ made a lot more sense in the August-November timeframe it was originally proposed and implemented. The booster brought vaccine efficacy against infection back up to 90-95% against the Delta variant. If everyone who came in contact with seniors or almost-seniors was boosted, it would bring down the transmission of the virus (since you can't transmit if you aren't infected) and hopefully prevent those seniors from running the risk of death or serious injury from COVID.

Since the Omicron variant emerged in late November and it bypasses even boosted immunity to infection in somewhere between 30% and 60% of people, as a result we've seen worldwide that vaccination is unable to bring R0 below 1 and stop the spread of the virus.

> If we take years to send out masks, we clearly think more about masks as a public declaration of loyalty than disease prevention devices.

The masks being sent out by the US Government seem more like a reaction to the realization that Omicron bypasses vaccine immunity to infection in a massive number of people, who still want some way to protect themselves from the virus. In 2021, the government was attempting to push vaccination as the only way to protect yourself from catching the virus, because social distancing and wearing masks annoys their voters (especially swing/independent voters) and they have an election to win this year. They only sent out masks and tests when the media/people began to demand it after the vaccine failed to stop Omicron.
Also it's a lot easier to understand algebra once you understand factoring. I don't know how people get through it without that.
To reinforce kristopolous' argument: Even smart users will behave like idiot ones, because with software designed for idiot users, that's usually the only way you can behave. This makes it a self-fulfilling prophecy: "But look, everyone uses only the mouse, never any keyboard shortcuts!" Well, duh, since you didn't make any keyboard shortcuts...
Yeah the article also seems like a little bit of a dig from a government-supported news source against corporate ones that charge money. Meant to come back & add that, but got distracted!
Wordcel is a fantastic bit of slang I was unaware of until now. Very apt descriptor of the pseudo-intellectuals parading around on social media and broadcast news.

Substantive conversation, or dialogue seems to be harder to come by as time goes on.
Interesting. How would you describe the situation?
What about "tainted" bitcoins? Those [0] would take some effort to "wash".

Because of serial numbering some dollar bills can be worth more than others; certainly there seems to be a 'market' for that.[1]

So, in the end it is more like: every "satoshi" is intended to be fungible but through its transparent chain can offer additional information which can be used to discriminate against ... or who knows maybe in the future bitcoins from some special address or with a special tx history are worth more ...

Hahahaha, also had a moto z with the same problem. I think the sensor driver got confused when the pins bumped and stopped working until a reboot for me.
I personally still like the RetroPie setup the best. It has some quirks, but I think it's mostly a sensibly configured solution and there's plenty of community knowledge / help out there. Maybe it's just familiarity bias, but after many hours of poking around in it and tweaking stuff I can't say I dislike it.

IMHO worst part of the out-of-the-box experience with RetroPie is that everything is configured for maximum performance, which kinda means worst latency. The input lag is astronomical if you're used to original hardware / FPGA emulation / CRTs or zero-lag scalers etc. You can get it to very acceptable levels for many systems, but you have to know which settings to change.

Here are the notes I took when configuring and tuning my setup:

https://github.com/blitzcode/retropie-setup-notes/blob/maste...

They're for a Pi 3B that's setup for output on a CRT TV, but like 90% should apply to a Pi4 on an HDTV.

Shaders are always a personal taste thing. Those posted here certainly get the as sharp as possible without shimmering, blurring, borders or wrong aspect look right, but there are other options if you want the CRT look.
Yeah, I wanted to sign up for Oracle's free cloud, I tried a pre-paid credit card and it was disallowed.
LineageOS can remove the Google problem with relatively little pain, compared to running mobile Linux.

The untrusted hardware is, of course, a more complicated matter.
They have now implemented caldav and carddav so you can have your calendar and contacts linked to your email, but all the typical comfort of sending invites or confirming presence is still lacking.
Thanks! I’ll try this when I’m at the computer.
The article notes "Booster doses cut the risk of infection in vaccinated people by about half across all age groups."

You can't transmit if you aren't infected.
People have been making legal threats at, and trying to sue, RBL operators since 1997 or so. It's a well known thing. All I say is "good luck" if you think legally threatening a maintainer of a list of IP CIDR prefixes that are used by a third party is going to solve your problems. It hasn't worked for the last 25 years and I don't see how it'll start working now.
What about support for using Golang or C# packages? That'd be handy.

Interesting read about NIM-

https://www.quora.com/Why-hasnt-Nim-Nimrod-become-as-popular...

Key points:

- Nim lacks official support to multiple inheritance or interfaces (as that in Java) or mixin (as that in Ruby). It feels uneasy when implementing common design patterns, which is important for middle to large-sized projects.

- The error messages emitted from Nim compiler looks a bit obscure. Sometimes you have to guess or google to comprehend what really happens in your code.

These seem like pretty good problems compared to common annoyances and caveats in many other languages.
Well tell that to the state employees openly trading crypto as mentioned earlier.
> You can't really think that some politicians are knowingly and deliberating proposing an existential threat to "free society and democracy."

Why not? Many people oppose free society, and democracy has never been popular among elites.
To be fair with OP, it's very frustrating to read US-centric responses when you're talking about issues that are not present there. Comments like "it's against the law" or "that's not how the energy industry works" or "software engineers are overpaid" might seem innocent enough, but are really frustrating for those readers who understand that the fact we all speak English online doesn't mean we are all from USA.
This actually does cause problems with blocked password resets and things
I'm not talking about a backdoor. I am talking about it being a part of the actual system design.
The main reason Teams sucks has nothing to do with tech. It's the fundamental design vs Slack.

Slack is organic free flowing conversation, like a chat, that you can thread out of for expansion of a particular though via threading.

Teams is forced threading on each thought and then constrained followup with no ability to thread because you're already in the thread.

I can deal with the tech limitations it's the fundamental UX that makes it a huge garbage pile that is being forced on people because "we already pay for it and all our employees are in it. Also hard to build custom bots for if your organization limits admins.
I use recoll[1] as my main homedir index/search tool. It supports many document formats and digs recursively into archives. It has a no-nonsense GUI, and a simple CLI interface. The search syntax is easy and flexible, allowing searches by many kinds of metadata, in addition to simple full-text search. It's slow with my collection of ~2.8 million files and the index on spinning rust, but it's thorough and reliable.

For email, I store everything in mboxes, and index/search with Mairix[2]. It's wickedly fast and the search capabilities make gmail blush. I use a little script to search:

if mairix -o $$ $*; then
mutt -e 'set quit=yes' -f ~/Mail/$$
fi
rm ~/Mail/$$

It's very common that I want to find an email from sometime in the last month, so my most common search is something like:

search d:1m- alice

And I'll have an instant view of all emails from alice in the last month.

I’m 34 and healthy. Each of my shots and the booster gave me severe flu-like side effects (chills, body aches, etc). I’ve lost 5-6 days over the last year to recovering from these side effects. Given my low risk from the actual virus, I don’t see myself getting another booster. I’m not anti-science, but there needs to be significant ROI for that level of discomfort and time lost to recovery.
Inkscape 1.1.2 Released
In my view, how math & science are taught is at odds with how people actually do and use those things outside of school. It's all pencil and paper arithmetic and symbol manipulation. Even mathematicians don't do math exclusively that way. It's also something that most kids end up hating.

Also, "coding" and "programming" by this point are intimidating to people, especially when we raise the stakes by tying them to high paying career. I might call it "computation" which is just using the computer to solve problems. You can start by just playing with numbers.

I'm about killing two birds with one stone: Making math and science more realistic, and getting kids into coding by the back door.

Use it to blend subjects together, for instance by trying to create art with the computer, or do a crude analysis of a literary text. Automate something. Nothing serious, but just getting used to "doing" things with the computer.

Show kids that the computer can be an empowering tool, not just the whip hand of social manipulation.
I disagree with your assessment that Bitcoin is worthless:
1. Can't get any better for money laundering, just add a sprinkle of Tornado Cash or whatever your favorite tumbler is today.
2. Great speculation token on a par with gambling. Gambling is not illegal as far as I know in the US. It started in Indian reservation but became legit quickly when they cut a deal with each single state (so they can collect taxes)
3. Greatest Ponzi scheme ever. Same with other currencies. Get in early, make a fortune. Get in late, get screwed.
4. Very aspirational. Millions of suckers hate their government and were ripe to gobble up anything that would get them out of their not so exciting future.
5. Unleashed a massive amount of creativity. Just sign up to the top Crypto "thought leaders" on Twitter. Unlimited entertaining.
6. Petty crime and gangs move over, we are in a whole other league here. Rug pulls, scams,...It is just a matter of time before Crypto Bros will face a handgun in the mouth. Hand me the magic keys or we'll cut your kids fingers.
7. Plenty more to come.

Collect all polygons with influence over a pixel, then process the resulting lists pixel-parallel using exact math instead of trying to abuse a few planes of Z-buffered framebuffer to accumulate per-pixel state into a few numbers (while handling polygons virtually one-after-another, using some locking tactics of sorts to serialize their access to a single pixel's framebuffer values, if even that much concurrency-correctness is done).
Discord. I basically don't use it, avery few months I'd say, but I still hate it, because it drains all the good Q&A's from the internet and puts it into its chatlogs, with a mediocre search ontop.

Discord for gaming ramblings and chitchat may be okay, but I hate when software projects misuse it as a support channel.

Give me some forum instead, I know many ppl here on HN dislike discourse, I don't get it though, for me it's a great way to do a forum in a modern way. Can't perceive any UX issues with it (I do know the arguments, I just think they are not true, or much less of a hassle than claimed).

Maybe we need something like discord, but it should have a way to group a question and the following conversation including asking back and answers, and send that to a website where it appears like a forum thread. Basically just select it with mouse, right-click, pick some option, select some keywords for taxonomy and good to go. Should be 5 seconds of work after the person with the problem is satisfied. Yea that is something I would not hate I guess.
It was not mostly centered around urban farms. That was only a tiny, tiny slice of Cal Anderson park. It wasn’t an actual farm either, but desperate PR - they threw down a few bags of soil a few inches deep, and obviously nothing came of it (in terms of food production). I am not sure the size of CHAZ even matters - it was a chokehold on the most frequented parts of Capitol Hill, the businesses in and near it, and the roads used by tens of thousands daily that run through it.

As for how safe it was - it was a lawless zone that gave safe harbor to crimes (including murder) and weapon stashes used by BLM/antifa affiliated rioters to attack the nearby police precinct. Here are some sources:

Cause of Cambrian Explosion – Terrestrial or cosmic? (2018)
> model railroading it is pretty much the genesis of modern electronic computing

I didn't know this! Is there anything I can read about the relationship between model railroading and the genesis of modern computers?

Edit: found it in other comments: Hackers by Levy.
You show the neural net many video snippets of a real lava lamp. It tries to output videos that are supposed to imitate the behavior of a real lava lamp. So it actually outputs videos of lava lamps but to do that convincingly, it has to understand the physical behavior of a lava lamp at least a little bit.
Interesting. Are you suggesting this because you think doing something physical/tangible would be therapeutic and help me have more meaningful relationships with local community ?
I remember not being allowed to mow the lawn on Sundays. Nobody would call the cops on you, but your neighbors sure wouldn't like it.
The "white example color in toolbar under letter on white background" is a gem.

The shapes, well it's flowcharting symbols. And I personally prefer left justified default in boxes but I get it's POLA breaking from other slide ecologies.

Pandoc slides look better and better and are almost zettelkasten with the "digression down here" flow thing.
Why not just beep the word though?
S3FS with versioning enabled on the S3 bucket would be a pretty low friction way to implement this. You'd also have to enable cross-region replication to deal with your "backups" being in the same place as your working copies.

OpenVMS also has a versioning filesystem and a NFS server. The x64 version is available as a private beta, but it's not cheap.

Personally, I just keep most stuff in a Google Drive folder and important stuff gets the keep versions forever bit turned on. Everything else goes in a git tree and have some automation to clone it to a reliable utility server when the OS thinks there's plenty of bandwidth available.

It's worth noting that the Google Drive solution is the only one that I've been able to get to work reliably across Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS. I've tried OneDrive, Dropbox, and iCloud Files, but they all have various problems with conflict resolution, annoying upselling, or limited file type support for versioning.
They offer good services, not "better" ones, since we have no basis of comparison for what other shops on iOS could look like.
Refreshing Chrome’s brand icons for the first time in 8 years
Hire someone to manage the business. Take a long vacation in a far away place. I've experienced pretty major burnout from startup life more than once. In at least one case I just needed to walk away, but in others I need a break and change in responsibilities. My biggest issue is taking time for myself, taking vacations. Don't let it all hang on your shoulders alone, get help and try to work fewer hours.

Having kids while doing startups was hard. Sometimes it feels like the responsibilities never end. When my kids got a little older I found more time for hobbies. Pouring myself into hobbies really helped me - satisfied the workaholic in me but in a fun and not stressful way.

Really, take a vacation and get out of town for bit. Not sure what you like, personally I find Barcelona quite refreshing. Go and rent an apartment for a month.
I think the lack of nuance employed by both 1A and 2A communities has been a strength.

Nuance allows compromise, and compromise allows incrementalism. It's a classic fascist play. It's also a classic politician play to get people lost in the details so that no one truly understands their intent, i.e. "never let a good crisis go to waste".

I'm willing to be proven wrong, however.
Most of the people pushing coding in schools fully agree that not everyone will grow up and code. They want literacy of what coding can do, literacy in what problems it can solve and what it cannot. They want the kids to understand logic and computational thought, to inform what tools they will use throughout life. Most adults don't use all the math they have been taught either. Nor the science, nor even the language arts skills. Elementary education is a broad swipe at general education, not detailed skill training for adulthood.

Also, the coding programs in schools have had positive side-effects in schools where it has been implemented, with students using the problem solving, logic, and debugging toolkits they have been taught to improve their academics in all subjects. It has taught kids to treat poor performance on tests as a problem to be solved, and not a personal failure.
Hello!

Exactly! However, there has been also a lot of research that has built upon this 2019 paper -- here is a nice review article that touches on what we now know about changes in CSF and how that is coupled with neurodegenerative diseases.

I don't think we have ever had the kind of free society or democracy people think of when they say "we have a free society and a democracy."

From jailing anti-war protestors (WWI) to jailing anti-war protestors (Vietnam) to allowing corporations to put serious, nearly life-ruining heat on whistleblowers, to the way the media largely operates by uncritically republishing press releases and communiques, I would say it's pretty clear that we're living in a closely managed society with a severely manipulated democratic process.
