I downloaded Inkscape because trying to use Gimp for pixel perfect graphics was an exercise in frustration.

Sadly, my experience seems to mirror yours, my first project crashed (no data loss, fortunately). Then I tried writing a simple plugin and it turned out 1.1.1 broke unit conversion.
I am in similar position, but 45, negative net worth and alimony. I had two problems: environment (it should motivate better), and health (not 20 anymore, but still have shitty habits).

If you have $500, I would suggest to take 6 months sabbatical and just unplug from tech.
I read it last year and it felt quite outdated. Perhaps because the innovative ideas then that the book presents are now mainstream.
In the early 1990's I worked for a communications company and I recall saying that the cell phone was a game changer and that it would be used for more things than the current computer which was the biggest tech item being purchased at the time. Flash forward to 2022 and I am travelling across the world and I noticed that everything one needs to do requires a cell phone app from seeing a menu (QR codes) making reservations, to ordering tickets, ordering an Uber ride, to getting directions, getting on a plane, showing your vaccination status, checking your health vitals, face timing appointments. EVERYTHING! The cell phone became more important and powerful than I ever imagined and the cell phone has still not reached full maturity as a communications device.
I don’t think you need to underplay OP issues. While he may be better off financially than lots of people, feeling lost with little passion for life is still not a good situation, and he deserves to feel the way he does.
I think that represents a flaw in Git really. It would clearly be better if you could store large files in a repo, but Linux doesn't need that so solutions like LFS are relegated to hacky add-ons that don't integrate well.

For example it's impossible to move files between the repo and LFS after they've been added without rewriting history, but there's no fundamental reason for that as far as I know.
Lots of laws to pick from depending on the jurisdiction, e.g. see https://www.quora.com/If-you-sign-a-contract-while-drunk-or-...

Far past the threshold is glaringly obvious, far below as well. If it is close, you do what is always done about any threshold question.
America's Test Kitchen recommends the Victorinox knives for every skill level and budget, including professional chefs. It's just a damn good knife, and it happens to be cheap at around $50. Go with this rather than Ikea if it's in the budget :)
If you can build it and prove this to be true, you'll likely become a multimillionaire when you get acquired.
I always thought that standards are there to be stable and well documented. This whole fido mess shows how IMHO it should not be done. Anyone who e.g. build stuff on top of CTAP on windows saw their stuff break because windows proxies the whole webauthn stuff through their windows hello APIs and made sure that USB access to FIDO devices is blocked on OS level. What is left is a totally underdocumented webauthn.h header file from Microsoft on GitHub. I am confident that they will break things over and over again, so that it best fits them.
He's generally using his own tool called 'manim'. All of his code/animations are open-source. The code for this specific video can be found here: https://github.com/3b1b/videos/blob/master/_2022/wordle.py
> I would love to see where this has happened, as I haven't seen it before. I don't find it hard to believe, but want to see it happening in practice before jumping to any conclusions.

This doesn't prove that it'll happen to _every_ women-only subreddit, but I think the previous poster is alluding to the ban on several radical feminism subreddits. I'm sure more detail can be found on their new home, which rhymes with "we are over it".
Meijer, Kroger, Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, and I'm guessing other stores, all offer vaccines. I did my 3rd shot on a Saturday morning walking into Meijer, no appt. Even in poor families, they have to go to the grocery store.

No one I know was "taken out" by their multiple vaccines. The worst I heard about was a sore arm the 1st day. Not saying no one was taken out, but making it sound like no one can work the 2nd day is not accurate either.

I posted somewhere else that my personal feeling is that there have been so many outright lies told by the previous administration, overruling scientific advice, conjectures that were not true, as well as the virus itself constantly changing, that a large group of people simply don't trust what they are being told and now have dug their heels in. It's a shame there is such a huge lack of trust in US government agencies, but I can't really say I blame them either; they haven't done a lot to deserve trust.
So like enter in place of caps lock? I genuinely have no idea what you mean by symmetrical keyboard.
I still don't believe deep learning is going to take us to AGI. The susceptibility of these systems to completely failing on weird inputs shows that it's a kind of massive memorization going on here, rather than true understanding.

Has anyone tried searching for new basic operations, below the level of neural networks? We've been using these methods for years, and I doubt the first major breakthrough in ML is the most optimal method possible.

Consider the extreme case of searching over all mathematical operations to see if something really novel can be discovered.

How feasible would this be?
So long as you're fully vaxed its not so bad.

> Is hate speech permitted? Incitement to violence? Spreading dangerous mis-information? Who assesses whether a statement is a political statement or an exception that is not protected?

To address this question, there is at least 200 years of US common law available to evaluate whether or not something should be protected under the first amendment. I’m simply suggesting that we protect the same rights to speech in the private sphere that we already do in the public sphere, at the very least for companies whose main line of business is serving as a platform for the speech of others that would otherwise be generally open to the public. In the age of privately owned and centralized online media platforms and marketplaces, extending civil rights to free speech seems logical.

Thank you too

Maybe then stop sending Nato weapons to their borders for the last 10 years?
A simple Pok3r mechanical keyboard, I think mine has blue Cherry switches. I recently changed to an even cheaper (ca. $40) mechanical tenkeyless. People might flame me for saying this, but it really doesn't matter to which mechanical keyboard you switch when you're used to cheap rubberdome keyboards. Typing is so much better on any of them.
Nothing springs to mind. The problem is that location on any surface is a 2 dimensional parameter. However, two coordinates before any kind of "processing" define location on a plane. All spherical coordinate systems are therefore isomorphic to map projections, where the coordinates are simply a cartesian location on the flat map. And no map projection avoids singularities.

I'm 38 w/wife and 2 kids. I like to think that I don't have any time for myself any more. Looking back over the last few years, I've dipped a toe into the following hobbies:

paddleboarding, biking, fixing up a rental property, sewing, electronics, bought an internet business to run as a side hustle, minecraft (family realm), weightlifting/fitness + fixing my sleep (down 30 lbs in 15 mo), sauna (not really a hobby, but ~30 min/day), crypto, knitting, breadmaking, pottery, ukulele, piano, rock climbing, disc golf, pickleball

Find activities that make you happy and double down on those. Pay for classes/coaches. Travel has been pretty much nonexistent the last few years (thanks covid), so we've had to spend a lot of time/money on figuring out how we can stay put and not kill each other.

On the job side, remote work means way more opportunities to find interesting work. Or buy something neat on MicroAcquire and learn how to grow it if you feel like you don't have what it takes to start something. (I don't say that negatively -- I started a lot of things that never went anywhere, but I find that I enjoy the operations/optimization side a lot more and have enjoyed tinkering on a business I bought in 2018).

(edit: forgot lists don't work)
It's rarely productive to take internet criticism into account, but it feels like AI is an especially strong instance of this. It seems like a lot of folks just want to pooh pooh any possible outcome. I'm not sure why this is. Possibly because of animosity toward big tech, given big tech is driving a lot of the research and practical implementation in this area?
It sounds like a rut! From the looks of it most people have touched on a lot of possible solutions. I might suggest doing something crazy and uncomfortable. Move to a foreign country, go into a new field of work, etc…

I am in a similar headspace but at 31, but the truth is that life is just beginning in the 30s. You have experience AND money, which can open so many doors.

The Logitech G305 mouse for $40 (or any current gen wireless gaming mouse). I don't play game competitively but I have always felt latency with previous gen wireless mice. The recent wireless mice feel like wired to me.

It's quite nice to use a wireless mouse with a large mousepad. A large desk is also a must imo.

Ask HN: How much of your tech stack now runs on ARM?
“Companies don’t fire a crackerjack” implies that you’ve always been seen as an all-star team member.

Consider an alternate universe where you were never allowed to feel like an all-star, because you were never able to show up for meetings on time, and people got progressively madder at you regardless of how much soul or effort you put in.

We’re probably two sides of the same coin. You got lucky at all your jobs, and I got unlucky. But it certainly made me think twice about thinking badly of people who get fired, regardless of official reasons.

(Your manager seemed to actually care about you on a personal level? That ~never happens.)
polarization is very much a quantum effect, however the specific experiment in the video does not prove the quantum wierdness because the setup does allow a hidden variable explanation.
If life started on another planet, then how did it start on that other planet?
For sure life could have been carried on that other planet from yet somewhere
else, but it can't be comets all the way down! At some point, life must have
started abiogenetically somewhere.

But if life could start somewhere from non-life, then why do we need panspermia
to explain the presence of life on Earth? Isn't it enough to say that life
started on Earth from non-life, as it would have to start someplace anyway?

Perhaps there's a less strong position that could be supported? Maybe life did
start on Earth abiogenetically, but it was enhanced or enriched with life from
outside the Earth? But then, how can we refute that? Is there a "smoking gun"
that strongly contradicts the default assumption that life on Earth started on
Earth?

Well I'm asking because I don't know those things (I'm lucky that I only have to
study non-living systems). I'm grateful for any knowledgeable answers.

I totally agree about octopi, though: they clearly are space aliens.
I agree it’s their choice; however, there are clearly better/worse choices and that’s what i mean by not handling their own shit.

Basically, I don’t think people (including myself) sit around and carefully consider the evidence or think critically about their own beliefs. For the most part, we digest what we hear and that’s that.
I'm not sure I agree with those ways of thinking about introvert and extrovert. It's not simply if whether you like hanging out with others or prefer being alone. You don't flip from being extrovert to introvert just because you have a time in your life where you prefer to be alone. Extroverts don't become introverts while grieving the death of a loved one.

It has to do with whether hanging out with others drains or fill you with energy, mentally.

I love hanging out with people, it fills me with joy, and I'm great at talking with people, I'm good at cracking jokes that causes a group to laugh, I can hold speeches just fine, or perform in front of a group. But once I'm done, I'm exhausted, it's like holding my breath, I need to come up for air and be alone, even if I enjoy being with other people.

The closing sentence

> But once I learned about infinite series, I could no longer see math as a tower. Nor is it a tree, as another metaphor would have it. Its different parts are not branches that split off and go their separate ways. No — math is a web. All its parts connect to and support each other. No part of math is split off from the rest. It’s a network, a bit like a nervous system — or, better yet, a brain.

is also something I recently read in similar form in Saunders Mac Lane's "Mathematics: Form and Function":

> We cannot realistically constrain Mathematics to be a single formal system; instead we view Mathematics as an elaborate tightly connected network of formal systems, axiom systems, rules, and connections. The network is tied to many sources in human activities and scientific questions.
I don't think it is puzzling.

1. Users understand passwords. While password stuffing is a concern, almost nobody actually makes product decisions based on rational security analysis.

2. Only a small number of users are concerned about centralized login via OpenID Connect. The privacy and account access weaknesses of logging in with Google or Facebook aren't concerns for the huge majority of users.

3. Creating and maintaining a key pair is less ergonomic than creating and maintaining a password.

#3 is now different for people who are regularly using blockchain systems so it doesn't surprise me that uptake is larger than now than in the past. More people have a Coinbase account than use PGP. But I am not convinced that people actually care enough to swap if they aren't already ideologically aligned with blockchain technology.

Midi devices. I have lots of the cheap ones for controlling my software with hardware wheels:

I also control software like blender using those, even my emacs use that. It is always in the same place and once you learn it, you are so fast.

I also use sheets of paper and color pens.
I admit I've never tried this, but the Linux kernel seems like just another C program. What's to stop me from installing GNU Make, GNU coreutils, gcc, and binutils cross compiled to target x86_64-linux-elf and bootstrap this? It doesn't sound especially useful, but it does sound like something that would be possible if you focused on it.
The DKIM key is in your DNS. Does mailbox.org provide a DNS service and somehow enforce what you put in there?

R is frequently compared with python and julia which are general purpose programming languages but it is not really a proper comparison. Once you approach R as a domain specific language / system then its various quirks and pecularities are more palatable and explainable: they are in a sense the price to pay for tapping a large domain of statistical analysis expertise that is not available elsewhere.
I think the main thing with Chrome/Chromium was the browser's lack of a GUI for enabling the pkcs11 plugin your smartcard reader, necessitating the use of the modutil CLI. Firefox has this in the GUI (settings -> privacy and security -> security devices).

Ask HN: Why don't universities teach word processor design and implementation?
Such classes would be about the design space for word processors (TeX vs WYSIWYG, etc.), their data structures, and algorithms.

Programming assignments could involve making changes to open source word processors.
I like and use nixos as a primary driver, but the nix tool itself needs a product manager.

A lot of people have direct commit access and it is really hard to figure out near and medium term goals or their progress.

It's how the tool that does so much to ensure other things built are reproducible is not reproducible itself.

Time is always running out. Even when you were 20, there wasn’t enough time to do everything. Even a 100 lifetimes isn’t enough to do everything. But the universe of things doable in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades is still a lot, and if you can pay / persuade others to join your goal, certainly larger than what most 20 year olds can accomplish.
There are non-KYC exchanges that allow you to change some ₿ into some Monero, and vice versa.

In other words, if an exchange every refused a particular bitcoin UTXO, I could simply swap it to Monero and then back and try again with these fresh new bitcoin UTXO’s.
What science denialism? I had a previous life as a working PhD in the life sciences. Honestly the crazy thing to me is just how much the mainstream discourse/policy on covid is itself science denial.
Yeah, these are the worst. I couldn't email some company because they contracted google, set the filters to max, and it would filter on SMTP level. There was no way to reach them short of going out to a post office and buying stamps.
Good question. I'd like to say "Overleaf" but in standard practice they probably shared via email a zip file with an assortment of .tex and .bib files and their by-products (and including a folder marked "earlier_versions").
Eric Normand - Grokking Simplicity: Taming complex software with functional thinking

I also bought the Scott Wlaschin book, but I must say I like Eric Normand's book a little bit better. Since the examples are also in JavaScript (but applicable to a lot of languages), I think it's easier to follow for everyone who's coming from an OOP background.

I'm also looking forward to Yehonathan Sharvit - Data-Oriented Programming: Unlearning objects.
+1 for Ikea standing desk. I'm using it sitting but now I know which exact height suits me. Btw. I only recently found out that in my case chair's armrests should be above the table. When they're below I quickly develop forearm pain from table's edge, except if table has round edges. And these are very rare around here, edges are usually sharp.

Ikea's other non-standing desks are also often adjustable, but with tools. So not good if you want to experiment with height, but if you know your preference they have better price/quality ratio.

> As many monitors as will make you happy

I really like this approach! Some people want more, some people want less. There is no universal right answer! But monitors are so relativity inexpensive (when compared to their potential performance/quality-of-life increase) that if you work on a computer a significant part of they day, they are a no-brainer for optimization!
I spend most of my time in State College, PA, USA.

Nearby, there’s on public / state land, a place called bear meadows.

There’s tons of blueberries in a swampy area with trails. From talking to people I’ve talked to who go there to pick them, their grandparents and possibly great grandparents would pick blueberries in the same spot.

It’s an interesting and fun experience, and they taste far better then anything I’ve purchased at the grocery store.
Nah, in all fairness I'm perfectly content in that aspect-no such expectations or desires. I have plenty of bad examples - observations and personal experiences: in a nutshell, my life is similar to an early 2000's hypercar - looks great on the outside and desirable from afar, but in reality impractical, useless in the real world uncomfortable and deadly in most scenarios. My bad qualities include extreme nihilism, cynicism, irony and sarcasm and extremely low tolerance for anything that doesn't suit me. Selling points - financial status and abs. The latter is offered by most people at the next door gym which leaves us with the financial aspect, so... Yeah... Pass.
