Twitter, although microblogging platform, seems to have quality content depending on what you choose to post/view.

If you follow serious, like-minded people - who don't push out garbage at random, there is a lot of things you'd get to learn. If you'd contribute meaningfully, you'd make some good industry connections as well.

ML community is very active on Twitter. Part of the reason why ML is going hot still is because the information dissemination rate is pretty high. If ML was active on Reddit or Facebook primarily, I can't imagine newest developments would reach out to others as fast. People use bookmarks & like to make curated reading lists, or look out for seminar/talk announcements. Overall its a win-win to people who are invested in it.
The French Obesity Paradox – Fire in a Bottle
Google News' most annoying thing now is they implemented infinite scroll....

FWIW I have a subscription to a major news paper + local to avoid the filter bubble. The major is a little conservative leaning and local a little liberal.
Plenty of places to walk in the country, lots of hiking trails where you don't have to worry about getting hit by car, or having some jackjass bump into you. And if you do pass a person out in the country, you would actually say "Hi" and not just walk by as if they didn't exist.

I am an American as of 2 years ago.

The whole gov/system is by default 2 party system.

Some of the questions that you are asked during your citizenship interview is what are the two main parties.

Im not saying I like it. But it’s a fair assumption to make when literally all voters only consider the two parties.
Proposal: Arena: new package providing memory arenas
Ukrainian-American here. Depends on how you look at it. Comparing Donetsk to Crimea for instance, Crimea is in much better shape: no active war for the past 8 years.
I second the opinion that this isn't the ending that people wanted, but hopefully it is the ending nonetheless.

For the record, I do not condone the annexation of Crimea, but I also do not support giving it back to Ukraine, as it just creates unnecessary tension at this point.
I understand, how globally we should not just be ok with countries taking parts of other countries, but at the same time the reverse transaction will bring more misery to people of crimea.

Do you tie core biz/dev workflows to Github (or any other service)?
This article was almost identical Peterson's recent publicly published letter of resignation from his tenure position at the University of Toronto in which he declaimed that none of his white male students could get jobs in academia.

If you wish to discuss the ideas and merit behind them it would be beneficial to go to the original source, and Peterson has primacy of publication here.
Oh the quality may be crap, but there's a much higher likelihood of learning something you can act on, even if it's just "oh, that band I like is going to be in town".
idk when brutalist became synonim of ugly and minimum effort, but I assure you it's not.
If you're talking about Law 360 and similar sites for legal news, sure.

If you're talking about political news, no. Some of the most hyperbolic, partisan, and bizarrely flawed takes on Trump, and the US political situation over the last 5 years, have come from lawyers. It's been embarrassing.
Is it more nuanced though? The moment separatists started taking over Ukrainian territory, they should've attempted to take that back.

Whether they were unable to or not willing to, as you suggest, now things are a lot worse.
Either way it was a strategic failure, so yes, they did fail to protect their borders even back then.
> It is indeed a good idea to avoid TV news.

I was in the original wave of "cord cutters," it's been 20+ years. I have also spent many of those years abroad. My exposure to TV news is around 1-2 hours per year, in various countries.

When I visit my family back at home there is normal American news on the TV. I can only last a few seconds before I have to leave the room because the news is presented as if the audience consists of people with a 5th grade education. It is beyond insulting. I never felt this until I left TV's influence for a few years. This phenomenon is extremely exaggerated in the USA.
I wouldn't say they have "underperformed", the best women chess players would absolutely wipe the floor with me and other casual players. However, historically women don't reach quite the same top level as men in some mathematical tasks, even though their median performance is on par or even better sometimes. You can visualise it as two normal distributions with the same mode, but one is slightly wider.

For now the WGM title exists, because if it didn't, there would be no women Grandmasters. While you see it as a consolation prise, I see it as an encouraging step to build a tradition of unisex chess participation so that one day we can have truly equal tournaments.
> If the income is universal (the 'U' in UBI)

Will residents without citizenship receive the UBI? If yes, how long do they have to reside to be eligible? Will expats with citizenship receive the UBI? Will children receive the full UBI starting at birth? If not, when will they? Is it an abrupt step (if yes, at what age?), or is it gradual?

There are many subtleties to the meaning of "universal". And that's just what I've come up with in 2 minutes...
Hm... I am kind of collecting all information I can about package managers for a few months now... pub is one of the best I've seen.

Cargo/Go/npm, as you say, will try to "shade" conflicting versions, which is basically a gamble. It may or may not work at runtime because data exchanged between different nodes in the tree of dependencies may have conflicts that make them incompatible... so having module A depend on version 1 of X, while module B depends on version 2 of X, and then A and B exchange objects that depend on which version of X they use will cause issues... this will blow up at compile time in Rust, at least, if you expose X in the API of A and B... but even if you don't, it's still possible for a conflict to occur if the exchanged information is in the form of serialized data or generic collections.

Pub selects one version of each library. It has great tools like listing the currently latest versions of every dependency, or the currently updatable ones given your version constraints, it addresses Dart SDK bounds of each package and it just works greeat. Can you give an example of when it didn't work for you?

EDIT : in the Lisp world, the biggest package manager is Quicklisp[1] as far as I know... and it works decently! I think Ultralisp[2] might be somehow better because it updates indexes faster or something.

Politicians live and die by attacking opponents reputations, instead of the message.

The public, sadly, cares more about not the job done, the track record, but instead on appearances.

I once saw a Canadian politician mocked for his haircut. Another for the way he spoke.

Not how well they did their job.

So yeah, someone says something bad about a politician, well... we keep hiring people that are better at attacking appearances, not policy.
Everyone falls a ton when learning to snowboard IME. Myself, 25 years ago, was miserable for two days with a destroyed coccyx and thought I had permanently damaged my butt. My kids who are both very athletic fell like crazy when learning... and they basically plowed the runs for the first year or so until they were brave enough to go toe side.

I am going to try skiing for the first time next month. I am excited to get off the ground.
> Some by "regex" mean "globs" and you can just use "*" and "?" for stand-ins for some number of characters.

But that's _not_ regexp, it's glob; a totally different pattern matching system. I mean, you can call a duck a horse, but that doesn't mean you're right... or that there's anything confusing about horses.
Strange, sorry about that! While we investigate, feel free to shoot us an email at support@constructor.dev if you continue to have the issue in another browser.
Where you end up is, largely, a by-product of the little choices you make with how you spend your time, and you should treat your time accordingly, but the article treats those decisions as descending a tree with limited depth, when, in reality, the tree keeps going well past where your career (and your life) end. I don't think any of us (in tech) end up in a place where we have no choices (as the author implies), I think we end up in a place where the ROI distribution of our choices becomes so unequal that making a different one stops being practical depending on your goals.

You can spend the last X years of your career doing performance art or spear-fishing if you don't care about returns.
This has not been my experience. Everywhere I've worked (a bunch of different kinds of places now) has been hungry for people who can help out with the broader more ambiguous direction-setting and decision-making needs of the company, but most developers I've worked with are not very energized by this kind of work.
Exactly. Now the major team sport is who you want for President, even though he arguably has the lowest impact on your life. As long as he doesn't hit The Button.

IMO people ought to put down social media, put down the national news, and pick up their local newspaper. Read about their own mayor, city council, whatever. And maybe even get involved -- depending on the size of your city, an ordinary individual can actually get involved at a meaningful level.
>Edit: I should be clear on what I mean by news. In the traditional sense, it's reporting on facts, checking sources, and providing two sides to every story. Opinions and partisan "news" are not that.

Yeah, good luck with that. Even what appears to be purely factual reporting is subject to bias in the form of what gets factually reported and what is simply ignored. Several good examples of this were documented in "Manufacturing Consent."

Opinion and national bias often creep in to so-called factual reporting by 'expert analysis.' You really have to go to primary sources and evaluate them for yourself. Putin giving a speech is easier to evaluate than a talking head from the Brookings Institute who somehow ended up as their 'Russia Expert' because he studied abroad there 15 years ago for a semester.

I’ve been using this https://github.com/r-raymond/nixos-mailserver for 4 years for my personal mail and I haven’t had a single issue in that time. I think it takes me about the same amount of time as you to maintain but I also have a next cloud server running on the same machine.
Glob is used in most shells, plus in several languages (Tcl has both glob and regexp matching).
Not the same. My understanding is Ireland has always been culturally separate from England, and as you said, wanted to be politically separate for many centuries. Ukraine is a very young independent state, with its borders changing significantly throughout the last 100 years, but for the most part it was happy to be part of Russia/USSR until the USSR collapse.

I'd even say Ukraine is probably more like California, (or Texas) in relation to US, rather than Ireland in relation to GB. And just like I wouldn't mind if California separated from US, I don't mind Ukraine being separate from Russia, but the cultural ties are probably similar to the ties between CA and the rest of US.
The people willing to put up with mediocre and bad software aren't willing to spend money on it either. Just look at the revenue gap between iOS and Android. It makes sense that people put time and effort into pursuing the fickle users willing to pay money.
Russia will probably invade the entire country, because...well Ukraine could still join NATO and would likely now have the votes (they just can't be in a state of war.) Also Putin made pretty clear yesterday he doesn't believe Ukraine can exist without it being Russian.
There's a bigger difference between men and women than between short and tall men?
Detecting Monero Miners with Bpftrace
Dude Putin said today Russia recognizes the separatists' claimed borders of Donetsk and Luhansk which extend far beyond the borders the separatists actually control. Which means unless Ukraine decides to cede a shitload of territory to Russi...I mean the totally grass roots and not at all Russian run separatist governments, Russia will fight with Ukraine.

Oh, this definitely seems very useful.

But, the immediate reflex on HN is to downvote such tools into oblivion. When I 'vouched' for this submission, it was flagged, I assume for immediate deletion.

Depends on how good you are in the team and how good your managers evaluating performance, this can be good or bad thing.

Isn't this missing about 10,000 pages?
What kind of argument is that? Because the empire lost its buffer colonies, it needs to re-acquire them again? Because it feels "vulnerable"? Vulnerable against whom? Against the countries the previous iteration of that empire sought to destroy?

This "national defense strategy" is just a made up tale, another episode of russian propaganda that keeps poisoning generations after generations.
Phooey, just copy the Roman ones. The copyright on them has expired long ago.

Many houses have a cut class stained window panel. They're a lot more work to make. Houses with custom tile and custom sinks aren't unusual, either, and they're not restricted to mansions. I know this because a friend of mine makes and installs them. He redid the bathroom counter, sink, and bath wall for me, tub to ceiling, and it wasn't that much. It was simply mahvelous.

I recently started seeing a new dentist, and recognized that he'd done all the sinks for him :-)
If you've been around that long, you know that Apple changes their UI guidelines sometimes and not always for the better. I no longer know what a "native experience" is supposed to be. (I haven't even used Monterey yet.)
This is a good move. While it does consolidate logins to one single location that a bad actor can attack, the time and effort put into securing it is much better used as a pool and covered by a single entity than having each individual department (and often times teams within a department) creating and maintaining their own login methods.
At first, I thought it was just my internet connection making fun of me. Then, I asked my co-workers if they experienced the same thing, and they did. It's a bummer that it temporarily made our communications quite hard and unstable.
Did the governor incur any civil liability? In light of this report, it's hard to see his press conference as a defensible use of his powers and bully pulpit.
Interesting. What about nylon clad cables? Anker makes these (as do others) and this is what I buy. Why couldn't Apple sell those?

You don't find it suspicious that the governor's office directly oversaw the group that made the mistake and then were so quick to point at the reporter as the one responsible? I sure do and the governor's office clearly doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt in this case.

Authors could be running a/b tests during the process. The book is kind of an end state.

Similar to software, you run a/b tests to figure out an optimal end state. Once you get the results you may not a/b test that part of the app ever again.
Consider the idea of changing your job and/or dietary habits.

Sometimes, a workplace doesn't care about its people enough to feed realistic expectations into the production flow.

Also, talk with a health professional about this. Is the feeling of panic related to high blood sugar levels (eating lots of carbs during stress)? There is for example a phenomenon called "diabetic rage". Or maybe there's too much caffeine in the tea? Do you pause your coffee intake when drinking tea at the job? Or maybe it's something totally different that's hard to think of as a non-professional.

> the agreement not to expand NATO towards the east

This is a myth. There was a discussion in the midst of a negotiation that mentioned this. The final agreement, the Budapest Memorandum, which everyone is presently violating, did not.
So happy to read this. All I have ever done is snowboard... 25 years of it. I am going to try skiing next month and I am just excited to not have to strap in on every run! I don't care that I will have to walk all dumb around the restaurant, lol.
I agree with much of what you wrote. Finding curious and open minded people is super important and I would encourage you to spend the time to find people who actively participate in their society. Unless, of course, you'd rather not.

> But you're not truly informed, at best you know the opinions of others. Or more typically, you're informed as to what media outlet publishes to get eyeballs for advertising revenue.

I do disagree that you're not truly informed. If you're coming at News from this point of view, you're essentially lumping all publications, from the Economist to OANN to RT to Huffpo to War Room together. This is a naive approach and leads to the rise of partisan publications and channels that distort reality.
I think this is the right take. The game has very weak rewards and clearly by saying “if you wait you will get two marshmallows”, some number of kids will assume they want you to wait and do it for that reason rather then the desire for a second marshmallow.

As a side note, I have a four year old and have no idea if he even would eat the first marshmallow. Sometime I imagine he would eat it instantly and then he would talk about it for days to us (“can you believe they had a marshmallow on that plate!”). Other times it would remind him of birthday cake (or something else) and he’d just save the marshmallow in his pocket forever. For example, he still has half his Halloween candy and it’s late February.
Good point. To really get to know a field / question, one needs deeper sources.
Sponge structure and bacteria
Nice. I see potential problems, but nothing that would stop me using the idea for a personal project until it grew into something else (at which point I move to something else, and if it never gets to that point I've lost nothing but gained time I'd have spent implementing something else).
I was never a big news guy to begin with. Haven't had cable since 2009. For awhile I read the NYT and for a shorter while, Talking Points Memo. I've quit reading most world news and especially political news. His point that

>“Being concerned” makes us feel like we’re doing something when we’re not<

is what really drove it home for me. I can do more to improve the world if I am in a good mood and improving myself than I can if I walk around angry that X is happening somewhere.

not OP, but I did WHM too - it heats you up. Not sure about the specifics, whether it's increasing blood flow to limbs or what, but it definitely makes cold exposure more tolerable, and not just in a psychosomatic sense - I didn't shiver at all after hanging around in a bath full of ice for a good minute or so.
There is a difference between voting for one of the two parties (althought there are obviously more parties) and choosing to affiliate yourself with a specific party. In the US, the largest political party is "Independent" [1] with 46% of the population identifying that way.

Buzzfeed is hardly the pioneer. Cable TV news has been doing it since the 1980s with constant "shocker!" bait segments and constant bullshitting between talking heads who make any banal thing they feel like sound like a impending disaster.

And as was mentioned, it's no small irony that Buzzfeed's investigative journalism, while a limited part of their impact, is pretty good.

Every fall and winter I make a point of letting myself get a little cold, and as a result I'm much more comfortable through the winter. It's a nice superpower to have.

We live in a society obsessed with comfort but it's good to make yourself uncomfortable from time to time.

No, Trump was absolutely "pro-putin", and sanctions were imposed in spite of his protests. The administration could not help but be staffed by competent Russia hawks, since those same folks were needed to push Trump's desired agenda on Iran, but with regard to "being tough on Russia", Trump himself often had to be dragged kicking and screaming.

https://www.wichitaliberty.org/united-states-government/trum...

EDIT:

I should point out that the Trump administration's small and ineffective sanctions aimed at Nord Stream 2 are the exception that proves the rule. Nord Stream 2 brought together a unique set of issues that inspired Trump: hatred of Germany and Merkel, hatred of NATO, and his religious love of fossil fuels, manfiested in fear that Nord Stream 2 would wipe out his dream of shipping natural gas to Europe on tanker ships.

But the stubborn reality is that Nord Stream 2 was built on Trump's watch, and in the end his sanctions did exactly nothing. They threatened only a tiny fraction of the uncompleted prohect-- a couple hundred kilometers-- which were simply completed anyway by a Russian company instead of a Swiss one.
This reminds me of my elder son who didn't walk until when he was 18 months old. Before he finally learned he spent several months repeatedly 'practising' falling over. Eventually he seemed to decide that he could fall over happily and was then happy to try walking.
