Ask HN: Easiest EU Visa to Get
Hi all, basically I want to be able to live in the EU for an extended period of time.

From what I can tell, as long as you get a visa from any of the countries, you're permitted to freely travel throughout most of the EU, presumably you could also move around a bit, although I'm not sure on this part.

My dream here is a spend at least two to three months In Europe, and if if I can get a visa maybe a bit longer.

Another option would be to spend two months or so in Europe, and then go to Turkey for a couple of months, maybe an Asian country for a couple of months assuming they want to open up. Up.

Fortunately I have a bit of money saved, so I'm looking to spend this time working on side projects and traveling.
Does this mean that 'char' is also pronounced 'care'?
You can still get the smaller, wilder variety in other places in the world. For instance, the Philippines.
Spoiler alert: the convoy never came for the author of the piece, the actual title is "When the Rage Came for Me."

If you can make it past the author's compulsion to express literal disgust of other humans (6 different times in a short piece) then you can look forward to colorful assertions like this one:

"For the first time, I felt political rage: a sharp rise in testosterone, blinding and stupefying and violent. I am ashamed to have felt it. Clearly men should not be in power. Our hormones make us too unreliable. Testosterone is a hell of a drug."

As if human jokes aren't cherry-picked? AI's ability to generate endless off-beat variety is particularly valuable for generating humor, just not (yet) with zero effort. It's a subject of taste but a cherry-picked GPT-3 twitter bot is one of my regular sources of laughter.
It's not that the question is unanswerable, but that there are competing conceptions of what fiction is. For some writers, what's in the book is all there is. The characters don't have a life outside of the book. Nothing happens to them after the narrative or before it or outside of it. There is no world beyond what they create. If a detail isn't included in the text, then it doesn't exist. Asking a question like "what mac?" is a sort of category error. It's like asking Edvard Munch what the man depicted in The Scream had for breakfast.
This was roughly what I wanted as well. I had a Onyx Boox e ink tablet. I was adding sites to lurnby and then reading them on the Boox to use the Lurnby features. But the Boox was just too slow and unresponsive for this type of thing, I was really unsatisfied at some point.

"selecting something from the lower end of the probability distribution yields comedy, no?"

Unfortunately, it's not so easy, or anything random would be funny, but we know that's not likely.

Though unpredictability is key, comedy also has some other characteristics, like (depending on the style of comedy) like wit or a commentary on something familiar that is shown in a new light. Some types of comedy (like caricature) exaggerate characteristics, or play on someone's suffering (the old slip on a bannana peel gag), sometimes it breaks taboos or says uncomfortable truths, etc...

There's a lot of literature out there analyzing what makes something funny. Maybe there's some way of integrating some of these insights in to a NLP system, or have it focus on some of those.
> This is a fundamental problem that you cannot escape.

You can escape it if you design for it. You can't escape it for exim.conf, but you can escape it for systemd's own files, because it designed for that particular case, as explained below.

> No, it doesn't. You're describing doing the exact same thing as if you just ignore the config file diffs - keeping your own version and ignoring upstream. If the upstream changed something relevant, your forked config breaks.

No. The way it works is that stuff in /etc overrides stuff in /lib, line by line. Eg, in /etc you place something like this:

[Service]
Environment=FOO=bar

And that's all the file contains. This file adds an extra environment variable to the unit it overrides, and nothing more. If upstream has two variables now and adds a third in the next release, then it all still adds up correctly and without any interaction. There's also a special syntax for saying "Ignore whatever this says in the packaged original, I only want my version".

> I'm talking about the design of systemd, not the complexity of services.

One and the same. Systemd exists to run existing services. If an existing program is composed of 3 cooperating binaries and needed hacks where signals must be sent to the other processes, there's nothing for systemd to do but to implement the required functionality to support that.

> Your packages would drop a unit in say /etc/sysd/units/, and augment the toplevel config by dropping something in say /etc/sysd/graph.d

I'm not seeing the benefit then. What's the difference, keeping the config in two files vs one?

Then don't write a Linux-native version. EAC explicitly supports a Wine passthrough mode that Epic wrote themselves. Of course, that would just push users to use Steam's Proton to play the game by Epic, but I don't really buy the "it's too technically hard" bit here. Valve ported all of their games to Linux even though they didn't need to. If Epic can't port a single game that makes them billions of dollars, then I have serious concerns vis-a-vis their development team.
Hey, there's no docker setup just yet. I'll try to get to that this week but for now it's just the standard python install.
Good point, but even that's dicey. It can be hard to objectively link a nebulous broad idea to a specific investment. It makes me think of the entire genre of self serving business hero biographies. Also, the business success can be used to give someone's social ideas credibility, which I'm always skeptical of.

It also creates a bias towards favoring the ideas of people who happen to be motivated by profit. Someone on HN mentioned the HIPPO effect: "Highest Paid Person's Opinion".

If there's that one way to get a look that you've developed, it's disruptive to move to a different tool.

I've found this to be more difficult for creative work than for more procedural tasks. I can roughly translate between AppleScript or shell scripting or Python. But if a particular filter or plug-in isn't there, it's a lot of work to force it through a different pipeline.
Ok, I’ll bite, but this is such a tired argument I won’t stick around for it.

Trump was beneficiary of long-term positive trends, his tax cuts helped set the stage for short-term economic growth and long-term financial ruin, and most of all his pathological narcissism has led him to do his best to destroy the rule of law.

Under his administration he tried to make the DoJ and DoD his political tools, he flagrantly flouted the law on a regular basis, he lied incessantly about anything that he felt made him look bad, and he surrounded himself with sycophants who would not rein in his destructive tendencies.

He spent the last year of his presidency sowing distrust in the upcoming election, so inevitably when the pandemic cost him his job, he then spent months trying to overturn it, leading to the January 6th insurrection, and has spent the time since then beating that drum and corrupting the GOP further into treating loyalty to him as the litmus test.

He took an oath to the Constitution but has no understanding of or loyalty to its fundamental precepts. He’s willing to destroy the country to vindicate himself.

I cannot fathom how someone can live a life this way or how they get there and continue to exist without dying of laziness. How can you care so little and still have animals to take care of much less yourself. It is incomprehensible to me.
Something about CGI and perl always rubbed me the wrong way.

On every request, you're spawning a new process from disk, reading the entire script's source code (including everything it imports), compiling it, and running it, just to throw all that away.

I do appreciate how simple it is, and how much it inherently frees its own resources, but it seems super wasteful. I'm actually quite shocked how common it was in the early days of the internet.

Some policies are more aligned with the employee's well-being and future success than other policies. I think that most people mean something like that when they say the company "cares about" such things, rather than meaning that the company is literally capable of caring.
"An NFT minted by someone who doesn't hold the rights to the digital asset it is supposed to represent."

? The owner of Dorsey's 'first tweet' does not have any 'rights' to it.

There are generally no 'rights' transferred with NFT sales.

Anyone can sell Dorsey's 'first tweet' by putting a given URL in the NFT.

The way we evaluate the 'legit' one is by tracing back to the original sale. So it's a matter of convention to determine the difference between 'real and fake'.

That's an inherent problem in the marketplace.

'It's marketed as way for content creators' etc. etc. just like Amway is marketed as a way for regular folks to sell cleaning products.

The difference being, the grift is so big, that everyone has to pay attention.

The systems may adapt and yield better mechanisms, but still, I'm wary that there is such a thing as a solution.
No, I do not think it is anywhere near hot/humid enough in CA for mangos. I have a family member that started a farm for them (not the Kesar variety) in South Florida that have tasted okay, so maybe FL is an option.
Permanent Record (Autobiography)
When I looked into Rust for web development I looked at Rocket and Actix web. Rocket seems to be on some kind of hiatus and haven't had any development in months, so that seems like a risky bet. Actix web had some drama two years ago when the founder and lead developer moved the repository and quit. He later appointed a new lead and it seems to do well since then, but it does give cause for concern. Can you build on top of frameworks that so easily can get stale or taken down? Are all of them maintained by single unpaid open source developers? I think Rust looks like a great fit for efficient back end programs, so I want it to succeed.
I used WebExtension polyfill[0] when adapting my FF addon to Chrome and admittedly all the intricate differences between APIs still costed me half a day of work.

I managed to have it done with only a few places where I branch on navigator.vendor, but If I wanted to ship different versions to AMO and CWS, I'd make use of something like DefinePlugin[1] for webpack to include/exclude code based on build target.

What's interesting is that several things can affect the sheet of ice and make sheets even within the same building behave differently. Often if sheets on the end of the building have an outside wall, you'll see the outside sheets behave different from the middle sheets of ice. The same thing can happen depending on how cold it is outside. It's grown more scientific in recent years, especially at the professional level.

Ice makers are indeed held to a challenging task and what you said is true - they're recognized across the club, on site, by basically every member and they more often get blame than praise for how the ice affects a game!

You can print new fiat money. The tried and true ways are:

- Make loans that with less than 100% reserve backing (be a bank)

- Print up your own negotiable instruments denominated in an existing currency (sell gift cards)

- Create a new currency and hope others accept it (be a central bank)

If you read the three articles it appears when the Roman Empire was strongest it was more peaceful for those within its borders (50 million people stretching from North Africa up through Europe and East through the Balkans) than it was before the empire (endemic warfare) or after the start of its decline (smaller, more frequent conflicts).

I grew up without mangoes but now I live in Thailand and have fallen hopelessly, permanently in love with them.

They are available all year, but varietals and prices vary wildly when it's not "season."

There are also great mangoes in Spain and the Canary Islands, but they're very different and (I hate to say it!) not as loved by the locals as they should be.

I have yet to encounter a decent mango in the US, but it's only been about a year since I started looking seriously, so maybe I'm just not clued in. Maybe Florida?

This is the argument that most of these comments are making. But Discord isn't supposed to replace a bug tracker or documentation. It's supposed to replace IRC or a mailing list.

The Linux kernel-dev mail list archives might technically be accessibly by anyone, but they're still not going to come up in a web search. And IRC history isn't stored at all.

And if you really need some piece of information in the Discord server, you can join the Discord server and search for it, all you need is an email.

I've been using Discord for a couple of years and greatly prefer it to forums or IRC.

> And someone who never writes has no fully formed ideas about anything nontrivial.

This is harsh. As someone who struggled with writing text a lot, I seriously considered dropping out of state U and going to Devry for an IT degree freshman year to avoid mandatory writing classes. I still graduated with a 3.9 as I was able to focus on CS/math and get passed the writing pre-reqs. I thoroughly enjoyed the more advanced math and theoretical CS classes, where I was spending good chunks of the weekend writing proofs. I can imagine that one gets a similar kind of understanding and joy from writing a good textual argument as writing a good proof.

This is why I always, always tell people to burn and churn those miles and points as they accrue them.

Airline and hotel partners will NEVER make miles more valuable, they only get less valuable over time.

Miles and points don’t earn interest. Use them.
Except, Delta (and every airline) can arbitrarily control the redemption rate (speed) of their currency being used, and the conversion rate. And have been devaluing that currency steadily over the years. Don't hoard FF miles, it's a losing game.
Probably fine. I would imagine most sky miles are accumulated by business travelers not paying for it, and very sparsely used for the occasional personal trip.

When Will AI Start Getting Dangerous?
That’s actually not too far from what we do. The image is created by a backend service with communication (queue and responses) to the front end servers via Redis. However rather than saving the image in its entirety to Redis, it’s streamed via it in chunks using LPUSH and BLPOP.

This lets us then stream the image as a steaming http response from the front end, potentially before the jpg has finished being generated on the backend.

So from the SSE we know the url the image is going to be at before it’s ready, and effectively long poll with a ‘new Image()’.
I'm sure along with discovering this, it also gave you an explanation for the science of sweeping which is also super neat and to the casual observer, not a well understood part of the game. At the micro level, the abrasive texture of the brooms is melting pebble (not entirely, just temporarily along the sweeping path) and affecting distance, deceleration, curl.

This book isn't specifically about OCD but Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts could be helpful as well. It talks about how to observe and accept thoughts, even if they're unwanted, repetitive or disturbing, instead of trying to suppress or fight against them.

Twenty or so years ago I was running Hotline and KDX servers, and loved having "my own place" where people could visit and hang out. Recently, I started a Discord channel to rediscover some of that same feeling, but it's mostly become a persistent chat for my friends (in lieu of Messanger, Telegram, etc). Some other channels I've joined are quite quirky and fun though.

The main difference being that you could only be logged in at one server at a time – unless you had multiple client installs – and there's something nice about that limit; you have to choose a hangout and tend to engage more because of it.

I agree with the OP though – I wouldn't rely on Discord as a knowledge repo…
