Or being required to do something really important, but failing and suffering/seeing bad things happen in part because they or someone they depended on was unprepared (even if knowing how to be prepared, or being prepared was not really realistic in the circumstance).

It can come from something as simple as the family losing their income and having serious problems due to economic issues, to a parent dying, or a major childhood illness, death of a friend, etc.

Over preparing/over doing it to the point where most would call it ‘perfectionism’ has saved my ass many times, because it meant when I got put in a situation that turned out to be much harder or scarier than I had imagined or knew was possible, I actually had the bare minimum necessary there to pull it off or get out of the situation successfully.

Many, many people I have known over the years have not been so lucky.

Pretty sure it never hit a pathological point though, which something like OCD definitely is.

The way to turn it into a better coping skill is to evaluate where it is and is not helpful - it’s almost certainly has not always been wasted effort, though for folks in particularly bad places, maybe it has. CBT has a really useful ‘Worry Worksheet’ which can help walk people through and reality test things like this, which can help tease it apart.

Prioritizing self care is also key, as when it is a problem it’s usually because other important things aren’t getting addressed (like rest, or positive social interactions) because someone is hyper focusing on perfecting one specific thing, and necessarily unable to tackle the other things that are important to be functional. This leads to a spiral of less and less ability to be functional, which rightfully will trigger anxiety and the maladaptive behavior even more. Hopefully the person is able to snap out of it, or environmental/external factors stop it, but that doesn’t always happen.

If someone was in a situation where they ended up in a unexpectedly bad situation or emergency as a kid, this is probably one of the better ‘bad coping skill’ ways of handling it.

Other, even less helpful but common coping skills for that kind of trauma include:

- pretending that the problem is not or could never actually be a problem (delusion)

- avoiding any reminders of the problem (avoidance)

- attacking others as the cause of the problem, when they aren’t (deflection, finger pointing)

- making the problem someone else’s problem in a destructive way (usually using manipulation, gaslighting, abuse)

And many more.
Since the vast majority of truckers are not part of this far-right convoy, this would probably work just fine.
If something like that built in a smaller town, it surely "sucks life out" of the rest of the neighbourhood as most of commerce migrates into a place with better deal for rent/revenue.

There is a village called Sanmen in Zhejiang where the manufacturer of scooters I dealt with was located.

It was a rather big village, turning into an industrial town. The moment they got a nuclear plant, a ton more of industry moved in there.

A huge residential development with 40 highrise towers was built near the industrial park, and almost anybody of notable level of income in the village moved there, and all the commerce followed
Not unless the client is open-source.

I can trust encryption to some degree but after Apple's CSAM stuff, no way am I letting them do what they please.
I second that idea. That's why it ties to identify and deep fears. Self image and social rejection are deep human nerves.

I also think the forces you mention are at play across all society.
fascinating. Primarily use forfiles.exe or where.exe. Pwsh's get-childitem is similarly as fast
Well, that's a pretty poor example to use to try to make your point. The Dixie Chicks (a country music group with a socially conservative leaning fanbase) went to a foreign country and decided to shit on their president for whatever the early 2000's equivalence of 'woke points' was. Europe was wildly anti-Bush at the time, so I'm sure it played well over there.

Their American fanbase (yanno, the MASSIVE group of people that enabled the Dixie Chicks' success... it sure didn't come from European audiences) turned on them because their values were obviously different and I guess Natalie Maines couldn't grasp that.

I don't have any evidence, but I'm leaning towards thinking that the people calling for Joe Rogan's cancellation aren't his main fanbase. That's the common thread with today's "social liberal" influence on media- people that are complete non-consumers of whatever winds up in the crosshairs just go to fucking war nowadays against whatever they've decided is offensive.
Android.

When holding my phone up to me ear after answering a call, the screen won't switch off and random buttons will then get pressed because you know, I'm holding it against my ear.

Can't find any options in the seeing to fix this issue.

My wife has exactly the same problem despite using a different make of phone.

How can Android fail at the most fundamental task?

The alternative of Apple is too expensive for me... More than I'm willing to spend on a phone at least.
It doesn’t help that they intentionally conflate the two issues by defining “anti-vaxxer” as anyone who “opposes regulations mandating vaccination”.

How does FastMail handle tags? I tried Zoho but it's pretty terrible compared to how Gmail works. What I'd like is:

1) To be able to assign tags based on rules

2) To be able to view those tags in IMAP clients (Gmail exposes labels as IMAP folders)

3) To be able to Archive mail so they are no longer in the Inbox, but so the tag remains (in Gmail, 'Inbox' is just a tag that is removed when you Archive mail)

Zoho fails because:

1) Tags aren't anywhere near a first class citizen. You need to hover over an icon to see what tags are assigned to an email.

2) There's no way to search Archived mail (yes really) and it's not available over IMAP
I am not a web-dev but I've always enjoyed rails.

Can someone tell me honestly if rails is still relevant?

I've been thinking about learning some front-end but am baffled by the amount of choices I need to make about the platform. I maintain a simple CRUD site that runs on PHP, I'd like to rewrite it such that when the users ask for a small change its not a multi-day adventure.

What you are hoping for is that this time you will be the winner, but most people will lose. I care about most people. I care about real things that are bigger than me and my needs.

And by the way you are really attractive and you are smart. Don't sell yourself short, our future depends on people like you, outsiders with unique perspectives.
Yeah I realised this one day after thinking about it. This is a very elegant explanation of the correct way to think about it.

> What I don't understand is how this idea comes up every time something like this is discussed. I'm assuming that this does not receive convincing counter-arguments which is why I will attempt to do so here.

I believe it's because there has not been a consistently applied general principle of free markets articulated, which the removal of episodes here violates.
GoFundMe has already backed away from this new policy and will refund directly, so it's honestly probably moot at this point.

But this idea of donating to other charities unless a refund is requested appears to be something novel. As far as I can tell, it's something they came up with, then backed away from, just for this incident specifically.
Just wanted to clarify that I definitely don't think this looks like a bad language as-is, I don't want to give the impression because of this small preference, it's less valuable (but I'm sure you knew that already). It's really impressive design, congratulations on getting it out for the world to play with :)

The discussion is about how to provide additional functionality.

To be sortable, you collection has to be a collection, and it has to have comparable elements. That has to be provided by the type itself.

The difference between Python and Ruby is how to add more functions. If you make a library to sort collections (or format phone numbers), the Ruby way is to monkey-patch collections (or numbers). Whereas the Python way is to offer a free function that takes an iterable (or number). This is what we are discussing.

Of course Python classes have methods.
sometimes i read things like this, and i'm astounded that anyone could have developed a mental model so incorrect and unintuitive but close enough to persist for a while.

then i remind myself that i probably have a few situations like that in my own mind and i should remain vigilant.

edit: and then i get just a little more frustrated next time someone resists a correction that i provide.
This article is from Jan 2022, I don't understand why the author didn't mention wsl. Even just to point out if it's lacking compared to gitbash. Can anyone chime in?

Go ahead, Downvote me without providing an explanation. What does that even prove except that you have no grounds for your statement and are cowards afraid to even debate anonymously?

I could care less about losing internet points - but you should look at yourself in the mirror and see what it represents about who you are.
No they are protesting vaccine mandates they are two very different things.
apparently switch emulators run well on it :)
I think you're just describing why fixing global warming is hard. Literally the only way to fix global warming is making serious changes that will change how people live their lives. Obviously we won't want to do it all at once, but there aren't evil companies who can make some simple changes without impacting us.

Worth noting come of those tradeoffs may need to be accepting environmental pollution of the traditional kind. We also can absolutely redistribute wealth. Literally all standards, car safety, apartment safety, job safety, impact the poorest most, and we can and should solve that with redistributive policies, but I doubt most on hackernews are in the receiving redistributions slice of society
The US federal government should tackle huge email account providers that effectively (by accident or design) use anti-spam as a pretext to sabotage self-hosted email.
They also manipulate the competitions to favor those purchasing their products.

There’s more than blocking advertising and distribution at these competitions. Webb admitted that in at least one contest, cheerleaders got more points if they used more Varsity equipment as props. In other words, it’s not just a rigged game as some sort of metaphor, Varsity actually rigged the rules of its cheerleading competition to coerce purchases of Varsity products. Indeed, Webb has testified in court that the competitions exist solely for the “promotion of his cheerleading supply business.”

Why AI Happiness Will Be Way More Important Than Human Happiness
You're arguing with an "average return" but as a single person you only play once, or in any case a small number of times if you're willing to sign up for new accounts. So the variance of your results, paired with the impact of an unfavourable outcome, should probably figure into that decision...

I have no idea why the urban-rural and the religious divide is relevant to the specific topic.
Thanks, yeah, that puts it pretty well. Having packaged course materials, videos, and a bit of celebrity status has to help too. I'm glad this is working out for some people, but it's probably not the right thing for me to be pursuing since I'm pretty low profile these days.
We do know that some databases fare much better than others and that’s useful to many. In your analogy it would be many builders claiming their buildings to be earthquake proof with only some actually being it. Thanks to Jepsen, customers know, where to buy.
Abusix isn't their ISP, they're an email blocklist provider. Telling people what they need to do to not get blocked for being abusive is literally their job.
The CEO of every major US company is basically the same person. They came from the same background and went to the same schools. They have a stranglehold on the working class of America. They can deplatform you and de-bank you.

The working class will have a hard time withdrawing from a society that is designed to keep them in check. Parallel economy likely to pop up.
>This bright biological line conclusively does not exist.

It does. Bacteriophages cannot infect human cells. They can only do it by changing our microbiome.

>If this is your argument, then what is the default for removing something that is benignly present in the vast majority of people? Surely it should be that it is potentially unsafe, like it is with the appendix and gut microbiome and frontal lobe etc. Anyway this is a historical argument. We've applied huge amounts of pesticides because there was 'no evidence they were harmful.' It turns out this was a bad idea. This framework is clearly very dangerous. Perhaps we should look harder for evidence of harm before we do things.

EBV causes millions of cancers, and it seems that it is likely to cause millions of cases of autoimmune diseases. It is known to cause vast amounts of harm. By the same logic. Beyond this, a large proportion of viral infections of EBV cause mono, which in and of itself is a great harm. You can't ask that every future intervention prove a negative.

> In my experience, no one does this. And certainly never with the most important confouding varibables like diet and lifestyle.

Is your theory that for some diets and lifestyles, EBV has beneficial effects? You can certainly design a study to account for this.
Conservatives could not deny service for a personalized cake to a gay couple without unbelievable fights that they barely won at SCOTUS, but left-wing companies can deplatform as much as they want from their generic service if they don’t like your politics.

I don’t have to be conservative to say it’s extremely hypocritical.
Looks neat, but the documentation was hard to follow. A lot of typos, and some things didn't make sense. For example, I think 2 paragraphs were swapped because the example code below the paragraph taking about using square brackets has no square brackets (but nested objects) while the paragraph right after talks about nested objects but it's example doesn't show it (it does however seemingly demonstrate the square bracket feature mentioned previously)
A little overly dramatic there, but if things keep escalating, this is what it could come down to.
Hi! Random plug: we're building an OSS data platform for 3d data called Speckle [0]. Currently focused on architecture, engineering and construction, but we already have integrations with Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino, etc. - it might be worth a look if you're interested, and perhaps some bits and parts can be adapted for your PLM.

Great call on varying the spacing between letters. I added that as an additional option and it's a much better experience for both listening and inputting. Thanks!

You mean from the employees backing out somehow?

They're protesting against mandates. Which most of the world is lifting...

And I'm not on the truckers' side per se... But the response from the government has been shocking and I'm sure as hell not on the government's side.

For the record, I'm vaccinated. Not an anti-vaxxer. Literally just went to Europe and came back. Getting out of and back into Canada was the most onerous part of the trip.
if the service is managed: customers should be able to manage notification preferences tailored to the severity of the issue, methinks.

Everything Adobe touches these days turns to a SaaS, doesn’t it?
Bait and Switch is the general business model of everything. Do you think next year DoorDash will be as cheap as it was when it first launched? As soon as companies get a decent market share, they start increasing prices. It is silly to complain about bait and switch for hosting content but not about prices.
Rather, what I have done :

Buy an android phone. A good one. Whichever you like.

Install F-droid from website.

Install Termux from F-droid.

You get a full Debian linux running inside your phone as an app. No need to even root your phone.

You can now :

Access, parse your address book, sms, call records everything from command line.

Access sensors on your phone from command line -- like GPS, compass or camera.

Access SD card and other files. rsync, scp, wget and others.

SSH into your server.

Edit some Java files, compile and install it as an app from your phone.

Install other packages that you need using apt-get or pkg. Like python, ruby, php, gcc.

And many more.
Instant Autocomplete – How We Improved Our Search Queries
You want to predict my future behaviour? In other words, read my mind? So, I cannot fly because you, without any other knowledge, are afraid of me.

That is why I requested being put on the list. I encourage others to do the same. Let Delta stew in it.
OK, let me try again:

"If your local 7-Eleven had Oui and Hustler on its racks last week, but they are gone this week, it has been censored."

I would argue: "No - 7-Eleven either decided just those titles weren't selling all at that well. On top of generating negative press, and driving away families with children."
Anyone complaining about some big "left" collusion is essentially bashing a straw man. The actual truth is that there are more than two groups of political interests. Corporate interests are biased towards corporate interests, period. They're basically indifferent on social issues, and so from the right they appear "left" because they echo the broadest appeal as a marketing technique. Shoehorning everything that you disagree with into a single category and then thinking the whole world is ganging up on you is a completely broken model, but it is unfortunately lucrative.
Trello. It used to be my preferred project tracker, but the introduction of workspaces and their recent insistence on obfuscating posted URLs has broken our workflow and made me keen to move.
Right, so for all media you need to consider their message holistically, not parse statements in some legalistic fashion that no real listener would interpret them in. And some messages survive that test, and others don't. Given the absurd covid nonsense JR has said himself and platformed (which is much more impactful), I don't trust his judgement. And of course, there are outlets that specialize in doing this kind of review, and while they tend to take things a little to literally IMNSHO, that only serves to _underrepresent_ how problematic outlets like Joe Rogan are, and he doesn't rank highly as it is.

TLDR: That a message has context is an inescapable fact of life; but using context to deceive isn't.
Understood. Yours is a consumer choice, not a political one. I have no problem with more content, but I do have a problem with algorithms and apps pushing content to me that ignores my preferences and/or ability to customize my searches for new content. This is an implementation detail though, not an issue with content I may dislike or not agree with.
It really is speculation because the prices haven’t returned to earlier yet. Abnormal isn’t the same thing as anomalous.
No it's not and this harmful absolutist rhetoric casting it as a tribe vs tribe till extinction matter will only further exactrebate the problems we are seeing.

Most people are not angry idealougues hell bent on revolution most people are not white supermacists that hate all other races as inferior. Most people are decent people trying to make their way in the world for themselves and their families, the constant bombardment of fear and outrage from every side for the past several years is what got us to this place, digging further into this tribal hole of left vs right isn't going to get us out of it.
Are you sure you are on the right side of the argument yourself?

Suppose next year, the government mandate that you lose weight, or stop smoking or run everyday, all that of course for the "greater good". And then the year after that, it requires that you give pills to your children because that makes them "less indisciplined" and so on and so forth.

Stop being so certain and think a little bit. By accepting this mandate we're not only accepting this jab, we're accepting all the future crazy ideas that the government will come with.
How structurally solid are asteroids, comets? I thought they were mostly balls of 'snow'.
Another way of saying this would be "it is harder to copy something than it is to make something". For example try building a successful search engine today, to beat Google at their own game, you need to solve all this technical problems plus beat a heavily intrenched incumbent. You can point to something like duck duck go and sure they did find a successful niche of privacy aware people that want to "degoogle" their lives, but even this doesn't mean that you can just be DuckDuckGo yourself.
That's really cool! Surprisingly, I _did_ actually end up doing something like `BlackHole` at one point in a project. I was trying to implement a connection type so that it got automatically returned to a connection pool when dropped, but the combination of the trickiness of trying to do async things inside of a `Drop` implementation and some external requirements that were assuming a language without RAII or ownership semantics, I couldn't just pass the connection's ownership back to the pool. I ended up making a replica of the internals of the connection with I/O implementations that basically did the same thing as `BlackHole` and then swapping that out for the real connection internals and then passing a newly-constructed connection back to the pool and then letting the original connection (now with black hole internals) get dropped instead. In this case, the black hole implementations were never actually invoked for anything and were just there to satisfy the type system, but it turns out that there are bizarre cases where that might actually be useful!
this is very bad advice
Thanks! Makes sense
Main issue is that they control a lot (most? 99%?) of the video and webpage ad market. Dunno why nobody else is getting into those markets.

If you're not running a multi-million $ site, you're especially screwed for alternatives unless you're selling something and can get affiliate revenue.

If Bob wants to put up a video fixing vintage washing machines, he'll have to do it out of 100% altruism, because Google is going to take all the ad revenue.
> IANAL but if you agreed to a fixed term contract you can't just inform the other party that you are leaving early.

Also IANAL, but he whole point is that the user is still in the 14 days "free trial, just cancel", and Adobe is refusing to honor the "cancel" part, right? This approach can be handy, specially in countries where there is a way to send legally valid electronic notification letters.
I got on the inside of the brief attempt at the Reddit thread which started the quickly failed “American Pirate Party”. While seemingly a good idea, this kind of “vote for policy” is exactly what destroyed that effort, it just doesn’t work. Long term there are lots of problems with trying to get direct democracy to drive the actions of a representative.
